I use a Mac with Mountain Lion on it and the photo PTP works and opens iPhoto. But MTP still doesnt work. I can verify that MTP & PTP works on my sons Mac with Lion and it works on the Windows Partition of my Mac. So it must be an Android File Transfer problem with Mountain Lion. I hope Google updates it soon, Android File Transfer has been a total pain in the ass from the word GO. Is anyone else having this problem?
Edit: MTP Mounts with my Galaxy Nexus Running CM10 on Mouintan Lion. The issue must be specific to CM10 on the Galaxy SIII

Until this morning's update MTP was not working - At least for the T-Mo version. I'm assuming if you haven't updated yet, that doing so will fix your issue.
Android File Transfer works fine on my Mac. I dont think Mac supports MTP does it? The only way mine connects is in PTP

Hey I am on NEAT Rom with my SGS2 i9100 with Siyha kernel.
Every time I switch to Mass storage mode my Windows Explorer will just freeze, "My Computer" seems to be loading judging on the bar.
I am using Windows 7 x64.
I tried running sfc, chkdsk, uninstalling USB controllers et al. Anyone know a solution?
Also happens with CF Root kernel.
Edit: If I take out the SD to transfer to it manually with my SD Card reader it has no issues, only if I use Mass Storage through the phone.
Bump
Does UMS with your device work on other computers? Or Linux even?

I'm stabbing in the dark here, but maybe some files on your Windows installation are damaged.
Try running a
Code:
sfc /scannow
in an administrator command prompt (if you have UAC).

Yeah did that as well, no errors found, same with chkdsk C: /f /r /x.
I'll just reinstall it when Windows 8 RTM arrives in July.

where do you reinstall the drivers from ?
Find SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones package and install it. It's about a 23mb file.

I tried both Kies(with its reinstall driver thing), the seperate package after I nuked kies, tried the package with kies.
I think drivers are fubar somehow, but it baffles me why Mass Storage mode would need drivers since there is support built into it in Windows since 2000.
Samsung, good with phones, terrible with accompiying computer software.

I've had problems with the drivers. Samsung's driver package solved my all problems somehow.
MTP needs drivers to work. The thing you mention is the USB storage mode. It should work fine without drivers
Has LFB broken file transfer on MACs? I've tried MTP and PTP using Android file transfer but no luck.
Used to work fine on LF2 with the Android file transfer app.
Anyone else care to try it for me please?

MacBook pro running OSX lion, fresh install of android file transfer used mtp to transfer file to and from phone.:good:
Unfortunately I don't know a solution but I can definitely say you're not the only one with problem, people were reporting the same on another forum I visit.

Same here
Nothing at all. Macbook Pro 13" Lion 10.7.4. Android file transfer just sits at No Android Device Found.
Have any of you got kies installed? because ive just flashed back to LF6 and then back to LFB and MTP is working fine still.
Use AirDroid & transfer via web browser. Or use a FTP program & transfer via File Expert.

Had the same problem, but after I flashed francos kernel it works..
Wonder if Sammy changed something in this release. Really weird.

Yeah im running cm9, anyone out there not running stock that has an issue?
*Proof that Sammy has changed something in the kernel in LFB*
Flashed the LF2 kernel to determine if the kernel was the issue, and it was! With LF2 kernel and LFB ROM, everything is working perfectly fine again! PTP transfer using Android file transfer working great AND iSyncr Mac application that also uses PTP is also working fine. Wonder why Sammy has touched this.
Only worry is hope that using a older kernel with the newer ROM doesnt spring up any other issues?
Using MTP has never worked for me on the S2 or the S3 on Mac OS X 10.7.
Pre-LFB I got Android File Transfer to work by switching to the phone connection mode from MTP to PTP, but this doesn't work in LFB. Instead Image Capture automatically runs up when doing so (it recognises an S3 is connected, but shows no pictures to import).
I guess they changed/'fixed' something to do with PTP so the workaround doesn't work anymore.

My phone came with ALF2, MTP obviously never worked with Android File Transfer but if you switched to PTP it would work fine. I agree that they possibly have 'fixed' PTP and that is why us mac users are out of luck.
Been investigating but I need to find the time to look into it properly.
If anyone manages to find a working solution with LFB. Please post it
I can't get the Android File Transfer Application to recognise my S3.... I have connected my S3 via the usb cable to my mac in both camera and media modes...
What shall i do?
Are you running Mountain Lion by any chance. Its not compatible. Just as the latest version of kies does not work either. We will have to wait for an update sorry cant be of any more help.
My s3 will not connect to my Mac mini with or without android file transfer. Has anyone else had this problem or can anyone suggest a fix

I don't really know if this can help you, but i'll say it anyway..
My dad has an external storage from samsung, with 500 GB, and he can't use it on mac and windows at the same time.. There is a special formatting to use it especially on mac.. and if he formats the storage for mac, he can't use it on windows anymore, only if he formats it back to general settings..
Try to format you sdcard into one that macs recognize and allow transfs ^-^
Thanks I will try 2format an old SD card and c if it works. Bit odd tho as I can use my old nexus one with the s3 SD card in and it connects fine

If you have installed samsung KIES uninstall it by:
opening the kies DMG file you downloaded... inside you would have an Uninstall.app ...
android file transfer app. should work fine after this.
...or use a workaround ala samba file server.

Same probe here on Mac OS X Mavericks. It was working fine on 4.2.2 and Mac OS X Lion.

Same here.
adb is still working fine over USB.
It doesn't seem to be an issue with 4.3 either. I also tested it with a Galaxy Note 3 and that's working just fine.
*bump*
Same Problem here, also running Mavericks. Never checked Mavericks w/ 4.2.2. Adb works just fine.

I just realised I cannot access file on 4.3 from Mavericks through Android File Transfer anymore, it was all fine with 4.2.2 on Mountain Lion... Yes, adb works fine. And on Windows it's fine.
