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 use mountain lion GM and its working perfect, only the las t version from KIES is not working. Try to uninstall completely and install again.
If you guys is in a LAN environment you can try using mac fusion and a ssh server on your sgs3.
Download a ssh server like ( SSHDroidPro) on the play market.
Download mac fusion for your mac (http://macfusionapp.org/)
Then you can mount your sgs3's file partition as a volume on your mac. Works great for me .. as i no need to bring cables and the transfer is secure and easy.
I will chek it thanks

yes mountain lion gm here. not sure what is causing it yet.
Parallel desktop can see it on a virtual XP, but driver says it didn't install it correctly, switching to camera mode 'work-ish' but files are missing when browsing folders.
on mac:
When turning on MTP - dmesg shows that it connects
AppleUSBCDCACMData: Version number - 4.1.21, Input buffers 8, Output buffers 16
AppleUSBCDC: Version number - 4.1.21
Though no dice.
adb shell
error: device not found
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

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.
