macbook pro wont detect my gs3, any ideas? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

so i need serious help, i need to transfer all my music but when i plug in my usb cable my macbook wont read it.. any ideas?

I have a macbook pro too. I just use Kies and use its built in file manager. It will automatically mount your sdcard and internal.

You need to use PTP instead of MTP.

They make charge only usb cables, could have been that.

very true, i just had my new cable that came with my gs3 unopened had to open it and it worked lol =D

People should learn ADB, it will help you in the long run with other things besides file transfering

I'm waiting for kies to support Mountain Lion. meanwhile I'm using Android File Transfer.

I use android file transfer it works very well. However make sure you choose camera connection and not MTP or it won't work.

[Q] Things to do with an OTG cable

Just recently purchased an OTG cable and know the simple things like connecting a mouse, keyboard or thumb drive. But wanted to see what others are doing with them.
What do you use yours for?

Has anyone tried connecting two phones together with the OTG? Can you just share their storage, or what happens?

They will charge each other and provide an unlimited amount of power. With great power comes great responsibility.

Phone will not charge

I need help i cant get my s2 to charge have tried using Odin to get to stock but it does not help. When I plug it in a get a yellow triangle and a thermostat
Did you try another battery?
Use the stock charging cable and the stock charger. If u are already, try taking the battery out, putting it back in, and leaving it alone for a while.
I have been doing that but as soon as I plug it in the phone turns off

And I did try another battery both are dead
Does it charge if u just plug it into the pc via usb cable?
No I just turns off and if I use my other battery as soon as I plug it on it turns off
I had a problem like this not to long ago. It ended up being my charging port got some pocket lint in it. So, have you tried cleaning it?

I would try cleaning it again. Use a soft bristle toothbrush and maybe a wooden toothpick. Mine has done this at least three times and its been the port every time.

[Q] KIES over USB

Has anyone figured out how to get KIES to wrok over USB? KIES does not recognize my device. I have tried intalling the drivers, changing cables, and changing ports. I noticed in device manager my phone is there but under other devices I get "Contracted SmartCard" with a question mark. I am using VISTA on PC, ROM is Beans Town V6. Any Help will be appreciated!!!
Yeah metoo. I try to connect my hone to kies as well it doesnt work. Ive heard its specifically verizon note 2s. other variants do work. i would love to know a way to connect if there is
Connected Now BUT
I am able to connect to KIES by USB now but it tells me that my device is not supported which desn't make sense since the Note 2 is a pretty new device..... Does anyone have a solution to force it to work or am I at the mercy of Samsung to support the device?????
The latest thing I have read says us model note 2s are not supported. Can anyone confirm?

I was able to get it to work through the usb cable, but not over wifi. With wifi, I keep getting the sim card error.

Thats weird. I cannot get it to recognize my device over usb but have it working over air.

I have contacted samsung, verizon actually blocked it so you are forced to use the backup assistant instead
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
That should have just been an automatic assumption at this point. Ridiculous.

I wonder why they would block it? Bastards!!!

It's most likely your computer that's being mean to you. I'd try:
1. different usb cables
2. different usb ports on your computer
3. re-start your computer
4. completely uninstall kies
5. re-start your computer and install kies again!
You may need to get into Windows (I'm assuming you're on a Windows machine) registry and clear out usb device entries -- google it.
Try reinstalling the drivers

Does the phone charge at the same speed as your other phone? Sometimes the usb port goes bad.
phone will not charge while.the phone is on but it will charge if i turn it off

Download PDANet and the Samsung Drivers. Use a oem cable and see what happens. I had a issue when I first got my Note but it was probably because of Windows 8 not playing well with it.
