How to connect to Mountain Lion Mac pc - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Mac PC cannot recognise my S2. I have installed MTP programming for Mac as suggested by Nexus 7 and recognises my Nexus 7 correctly. Do I need to something for connecting my S2 to Mac? Thanks!

You shouldn't need MTP or anything for the i9100.
Just plug it in and enable USB Storage through the notification bar. It will be on your desktop and Finder.
Unless you're running ICS or Jelly Bean?

Android File Transfer
This is a mini program that allows you to see the phone as a true mass memory. Once downloaded and installed, the program will auto start at the moment in which connecting your smartphone (disable USB debug settings from your smartphone if not the saw).
You will then have access to all the files in read-write, and you can move, delete, and manage your internal archive with simplicity and directness.

AirDroid
Another solution is Airdroid, program that if you do not know you will learn to love. Unlike the previous solution, with this program we'll use the Wi-Fi at home and therefore we do not need to connect the USB cable.
The program creates a connection between the smartphone and our network and we can access control interface from any computer is present in the same network. You can simply open a web page to the address web.airdroid.com, enter the code that appears on your smartphone or Tablet and the game is done.
You will have access to an enormous number of information, you can manage your device with a lot of features and, among other things, you will have access to the files, you can send and copy items and manage all aspects of your Android. Of course, the moving files will be slower than the usb because it will exploit the wi-fi network.
The advantage is certainly the absence of cables and the many other options available.
AirDroid works obviously also with Windows and Linux.
