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

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.

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.

Help required in getting the rooted SGSII connected to my MAC for transferring data.
I am currently on miuiandroid-ICS-i9100-2.1.25_v2.1 ROM.
i am able to connect to external usb drive and sd card.
Thanks In advance.
using Wajkmiui 2.1.13 (no ics) I have no problem on mac connection with no drivers installed..
just activate "usb storage" when plugging the phone and its working fine
maybe its a bug of your version, I think there's many left with the firsts ics of this week ..witch is perfectly understanding by the way

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?

Not true.. Samsung is still supplying Apple with vital chips for their iDevices.. So I'd be careful, what I write.
Download Kies for Mac OS, and then install necessary drivers, then try to sync. If that does not work, there is an app, called AirDroid - Never had problems with it
Hope I could help!

Hi, you can check out SyncMate - it syncs data on Mac with Samsung Galaxy devices (contacts and calendars are synced for free, so you can test it and decide if it is something you were looking for).
Please, note that you will need to uninstall sync tools you have installed on Mac (kies, android sync tool) to ensure the correct work of SyncMate (in fact, if there are more than one sync tool installed, thay can conflict one with another, so my advice is to test each solution separately).
Syncmate +1
works flawlessly even on Custom ROMs. (I am on Syncmate free and CM9)
