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.

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.

Hmn, just booted into OSX Lion (10.7) and its not working there either... seems to be since I updated to LFB. Camera mode, media mode, debug on, debug off... nothing works! Yet dropbox still detects me plugging the phone in?!
Anyone else have the same problem?
Ok, just performed a factory reset and still not picking up android file transfer in OSX. My phone is totally standard, non rooted on O2 monthly contract. It was fine before...
there must be some another reason.... but for mee it workss.... grtt....
The new kernels are not compatible with AFT for mac =(
I use Airdroid as a alternative, it performs very well.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Ever since I updated to LFB I can no longer connect to any version of OSX by cable. It charges, dropbox detects it but no Kies, no Android File Transfer. Its very irritating.
So can anyone confirm they definitely can connect with a UK Galaxy with LFB to OSX by cable????

Airdroid appears to be capable of only uploading one file at a time though, and can't see the SD card?
it's not google .....it's apple that doesn't like android, and purposely have no plans in supporting mtp, scr3w 'em, just use airdroid instead, works great albeit much slower with large files
p.s. i can upload multiple files at a time, try a different browser, chromium works for me .....safari?....nah, cause it's apple
This is a known bug on LFB. I am using Airdroid to sync too. I hope them fix it on next uk rom.

Multiple files work for me. Yes it sucks that it doesn't see the ext. Sd card. Hopefully this bug will be addressed.

Use airdroid or file expert to transfer files to your mac
or
Use this software from Android.com to connect to your OSX via MTP. I'm on ML 10.8 & it works perfectly.

AFT does not work on 10.7.4
reinstalled, did not help
I apologize for my english
firmware miui 2.7.20
but the samsung kiss works fine, but I do not see the filesystem on the phone, I can only throw the music and etc
Any of you tested this on osx: http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/ i know it say it is only working for creative devices but i can see the backend libmtp got the dev/ven id's for the SGS2 and SGS3....
It might need to be upgraded tho to work. I have to wait till after work to be able to test it on ML at home.
BTW i have no problem using CM10 and AFT on ML...
Thanks for all the confirmations guys. Have to say this is really lame! Hope they sort it out soon because I have no way of transferring files via a cable now on OSX which is very weak indeed - it's like having my iPhone back!
PS It can't be Apples fault because it was working fine before I updated to LFB. It must be Samsungs.

No it is apples fault for not implementing proper MTP... If it was Samsung that borked the MTP protocol then it will affect all the windows users also..
have you tried easy UMS?

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

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

I have received notification on PCCompanion that update is ready for tablet. And i have started it it passes through stepa until it has to actually update tablet. So download is made, preparation is made and at that point update window on win7 just shuts down and nothig is happening. Tablet stays on 4.2.2.
I have checked in task manager on computer sony update agent is also shut down...
Ok. Addition: it looks like when PC has to reboot tablet to start actual update nothing happens. When i connect tablet with USB cable which is original one that came with the tablet, PC Companion recognizes tablet.
also i have tried to uninstall and reinstall complete PC companion, (also deleted sony folders in program data folder) but still no success with update
Any advice what could be wrong or if it is required some more info what to provide.
Thanks in advance.
