You will need to buy a copy of Windows and install it side by side with your Mac OSX via Bootcamp
Best option is to Google it, Apple have a lot of information on it (its very easy to do)
Parellels should work as well. Very similar to bootcamp, but it runs inside osx.

Not really as Bootcamp runs a Native version of Windows while Parelles is Emulation software

Coincidentally, I have a Mac as well and I use a program called Android Screencast. If your thunderbolt is rooted, you can control it with your computer. If it is not rooted, you will only be able to see the screen on your computer. This has worked on another phone I have used. Should work on any android.
If you're rooted you can download a VNC server for your phone, but I forget what it's called. Search for VNC server in the market
Thanks that is very usefull, I have rooted my phone and got vnc, remotemylc, logmein, and none of that seem to work. I could controll mg mac with ease not screen shoot my phone.

You should really try Android Screencast. It works great between my Mac and Thunderbolt.

The beta... or probably not even that, probably an alpha, has been leaked.
Anyway to the OP, well you are using a very preliminary version, so bugs are expected...
And I hope you don't do any flashing on that PC, virtual machine or not.
Did you try running KIES in Comparability mode?
"samsung kies is not working on windows 8 build 7989 and keeps crashing, any ideas? im in the process of installing a windows 7 virtual machine right now."
Tell Samsung or maybe Microsoft to fix it.
Is there a readily available download location for windows 8 alpha?
That build is old and you shouldn't expect many programs to work on it.
Better to wait for a public RC release to use that.
the virtual machine program vmware wasnt even working with windows 8 so i just said the hell with it and re installed windows 7 and i will run windows 8 in a virtual machine i will wait for the public beta before i try anything again
I already having enough issues with KIES on a 64 bit OS. Let alone an alpha build of another Windows. Lol. good luck with that!
Well, KIES is not working properly on windows 7 or other OS so what do you expect?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
W8 Is not yet released so it won't work good at all. Try the compability mode if still doesn't work then must be something with w8.
tried, all compatibility mode giving same error
"Kies has stopped working"
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
guys. is there any way to connect my SAMSUNG SMARTPHONE to my computer?
i am using internet via tethering. i just barrow my friends 2G internet USB.
don't use win8 because if kies crash or odin when u installing the rom maybe u will have a hard brake because

Why are you using an old build? 8250 is out now the consumer preview why don't you download that & then try kies again?
Or set xp compatibility mode on kies.
The problem is .Net Framework 4.5 that won't work with kies

Freely available for download there, buddy.
And it's a "CONSUMER PREVIEW" which means it hit Beta... Beta meaning it's considered the final UI look unless something terribly wrong is flagged. It's quite possible in "Beta mode" that things might not run. It does seem like a Windows 7 with a more polished UI though, so I'm thinking getting KIES to run is a minor issue.
I wonder if slmgr -rearm still works.
Dude he put up the above question in Aug..any way beta build is what I am using
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yup in consumer preview kies not supported . But windows 8 is giving good experience .
Very fast booting time and eye candy looks .

Ok first update to windows 8 CP build 8250 with all Net. Framework and updates installed.
Second run Kies in windows 7 compatibility mode and as administrator.
Good luck

Works fine for me, required the net framework installed but it did that automagically.

There has been some troubleshooting for drivers issues go to my FAQ tips and tricks which is stickied and scroll down to Drivers Issues. Most likely if you have installed drivers of other android devices will cause trouble, second do not install sdk use the adb drivers provided with any of the root methods.

I was able to root the nt but i had to go into the reg on my pc and clean it out before it let me. I generally wouldn't recomend it unless you're comfortible working in the windows registry.

I always recommended ccleaner for clean registries, temp files, etc its the best for windows and safe. I have never had any problems with it. Its perfect for clean your PC before start this kind of stuffs.

Hey guys for some reason I am finding that no matter what I do androidtransfer will not work on my Mac with my GS3 . I have also tried airdroid which works ok but can only transfer files not folders. Are there any good alternatives that will allow me to transfer folders between my Mac and GS3?
i m using sync mate (full version) it works well even over wireless too
rest try sgs3 easy ums application you can find it on application/theme thread...
by the way what rom are you using ??? stock/custom??? ICS/JELLY BEAN???
You using Mountain Lion? I have exactly the same problem after the ML upgrade, so either Apple have changed something to break Samsung compatibility (conspiracy, maybe?) or Google need an update for the AFT application.

Hello to all!
I am using Mac OS X Lion and I have the same problem especially now with Jelly Bean leaked roms.. Android File Transfer was ok and I was doing my job but now nothing... I just use my PC at work but this is no solution actually... So the ones running Jelly Bean roms on S3 what do you use in order to connect your device on OS X Lion?? I should try SyncMate and get back to you...

Used to work ok with Kies + Lion. But since Mountain Lion, no juice. I'm using win 8 release preview in a vm to do my Android stuff instead

The problem is that files installed by Lies interfere with Android file transfer even if. Kies doesn't work anymore but is there after the system update
You have to "install" it again and check uninstall to remove these files
Then android file transfer works like a charm. Did it both on my imac and mcbook

U could use some one else's computer.. Maybe a friend for flashing.. But this is a temporary solution!
There is an app mobile Odin on Google play .. It allows flashing by mobile.. But it's compatibility with our phone is not known!

Yes i know i did it before i want flash from my pc i dont know whats wrong with it i think i ll format it
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
if it works in xp, then why don't you flash by booting your pc in xp!!
This has happened to me before as well. For me it was because I have several different USB ports in my computer: two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0. It only worked in the USB 3.0 ports.
Xp isn't my computer my pc at home is win 7 x 64 I don't want go all the way go back xp for flashing lol but I solved problem I bought a new ORIGINAL usb cable
