In usb drive mode, I click and drag jpgs into the TP.
on the photo app, u can see the folder name, but 0 images. What can cause this?
thanks in advance.
anyone?
this sounds like a simple thing to do. If it worked for you, did you just drag and drop anywhere in the usb drive, or you must make a folder?
is there a limit to the file size?
did you eject the TP from windows?
unlike most removable devices, the TP does not enjoy being ripped out without being ejected first.
ejecting from within windows explorer seems to work better than stopping it from the removable device icon.

it's working now. not sure if that was the key step.
what i did was to remove the old pics and folders, and made a new folder within "wallpaper" folder that was there at factory default.
I'm having this same problem and nothing I do differently works. It's quite frustrating that I can't even use this for a photo frame!
The music I transfered works, but only with the Audiophile app.
Hah! I figured it out, I simply did the opposite of what looktall suggested and ejected it from Windows instead of the file explorer and that worked, but it displayed the message "OWW That hurt. Next time eject.. etc etc.".
Hi I have tried to sync my music to the sd card on the phone but when I go to the phone the whole music is mixed there are not playlists I am using Kies and there I already did my playlist but when I try to put them on the phone and just put the whole music mixed together....does someone knows how to do this....I have tried double twist but no luck...it is asking me for mass storage and all that stuff
Sync playlists and music from iTunes (MAC) to ext SD with Kies
How to sync iTunes (including any playlist) with your Galaxy S3 using Kies and not being killed in the process !!!
I’m not a professional, just an enthusiastic pal with an iMac and a Galaxy S3! Perhaps not the easiest get together we could choose, but what the heck, stranger couples we all have seen, haven’t you?
The idea is to get the full features of iTunes onto your ExtSD card of your Galaxy S3. I guess, including myself, you have found plenty of difficulties to do so, starting by the fact that for many sync apps there is no way they can sync with the Ext SD card but rather with the internal SD memory.
Let’ts start.
First of all, it worked for me but I’m not a professional and I cannot guarantee success in your case. I just wanted to share what it took me a while to figure it out and hopefully it will save much of the time that cost me. On top of it, it is basically for free (the only non free would be the Music Player you may choose).
Things you have to have prior to start:
- On your Mac:
iTunes (the obvious)
Kies for MAC
“Android File Transfer” app (you will see it is what I found for transferring playlists, you can google it.
- On your Galaxy S3
Music Player (I have Player Pro but I’m not getting a commission if you install it ;-) ) (you can find it in Google Play)
And the process is (pls, read it in full prior to do anything, the process should not erase any original file, but it requires certain attention to the detail. Don’t blame on me if something goes wrong !! ;-)
Start iTunes
1) Click on Preferences, then Advance, then take note of where the iTunes Media is, probably you get something like “/Users/yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media”
2) Start Kies (it is not necessary to connect your galaxy s3 at this stage)
3) You will see a panel, and on the left side of the panel you will see different items such connected devices, and the Library. Within the Library, the first subitem is Music, click on it and you will see in the middle of the panel the possibility to add Music. Click on it and it will open a window of the Finder. Navigate until you find the path you took note in the previous step “/Users/yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media” . When on top of the folder, click on the button to select it. Wait, and then all your iTunes library will be on Kies
4)Now you go to the main menu of Kies (what appears on the top row of your MAC and drop down File, then select “import iTunes Playlist ot the Library”. Now you will also see in Kies all the Playlists you have created in iTunes !
Connect your Galaxy S3 to your MAC using the USB cable. Make sure MTP mode is selected. If so, Kies will recognize it. Check it in your GS3 at “Settings”-“PC USB connection” when you plug in the USB cable, and make sure you choose the MTP mode and not the PTP mode (you will change this selection later on).
5) Click on the name of the device (probably you see the icon and the name GT-I9300)
6) On the top part of the panel you will see different buttons, select “Basic Information” and you will see that it shows both the internal SDMemory and the Ext SDMemory. In the middle of this panel, you will see Options, Memory order, then select External Memory first. Now select on the top part of the panel “Sync”. On the middle of the panel should appear “Media”, Click on “Sync Music” and select what you want to sync (all Library, or a playlist, etc…). Then click on Sync (button on the upper right corner of the central screen)
7) Now wait, your Galaxy is being loaded with all the music you selected in your Ext-SD Card. When finished, you will have the music on your Galaxy S3, but not the playlists…this is next task.
Playlist Export
1) When finish, the last thing you still have to do is to export the iTunes playlists. This is what “Android File Transfer” is for.
2) Reopen iTunes (in the case you have closed it down). On the left part of the panel you will see the list of the playlists you have created. Click on any of the ones you want to have on your GS3, and select “export” . It will appear a window with different options. Keep the name, but make sure on the bottom centre of the panel you choose “format” : M3U. You can export it to whatever folder you want, just remember it. What I did was to create a Folder name “Playlist Export” (not very imaginative I know, hahaha) and export them into it. Repeat the same for all Playlists you want to have in your GS3.
3) Assuming that you have installed the “Android File Transfer”, the last step is to change the mode of your USB connection from MTP mode into PTP. The “Android File Transfer” window should automatically pop up. If not, go to applications and launch it.
4) In the “Android File Transfer” window you will see on the top row, the possibility to go to the internal memory SD or to the External Memory SD. Chose the Ext. You will see a folder called Playlist (if not, just create it).
5) Last task, select all the Playlist files you have in the MAC folder “Playlist Export” and drop them into the Ext Memory folder called Playlist. When this is finish you are done!!!!
Wrap up
• Open in your GS3 your Music Player (i.e. Player Pro).
• Select to update its music library if not already done, and your are set!!!
As a conclusion, you have all your iTunes music in the ExtMemory SD micro card including your playlists up and running.
Cheers,
Paco
By the way, if you find the post useful I would appreciate if you indicate. If too long or not clear or not useful at all, I would appreciate it even more so it can be improved.
Thanks.
Holy spirit .that was some explanation.but very good though

Howdy.
I'd like to ask if there is a solution possible/available to move photos/videos to a pc from a connected android device (phone). The device does not present itself as an external drive, but rather as a connected device. Both types of files are located in the DCIM folder.
If it was an external drive, I could create a batch file to do it, but this way i'm not able to.
All other solutions only offer syncing instead of moving.
Thanks!
Droid Explorer. GUI-based adb, easy set-up for anyone not knowledgeable enough to set-up sdk on their own.

If your pc and phone are on same wifi network use es file explorer free from play store.
You will see what you want to move from phone. Multi select all the folders or files and choose cut or move and then swipe right to left where you will see all connected wifi devices.
If you see nothing click search. When you see the pc listed (it will show the ip address) click it and you can browse to anywhere on your pc from your phone and just click paste to move the files.

I do not know which device you're using but on my HTC Incredible S it is quite simple.
When you plug your phone to USB, it will show something like "Battery charging" in notification area (top line with icons).
Just move down this notification area and click on "Battery charging" notification and select something like "Flash Drive" mode.
Sorry, my phone is localised therefore I do not know exact names of menu items in English.
I also know that at least some Samsung phones do support such feature but it is somewhere deep in "Settings" menu.
I have a download box that continually seeks and downloads new TV shows, and I like to watch them on my tablet.
What I want to achieve is making my tablet copy and then delete the sourcefile of the new shows my downloadbox deposits in a designated folder.
There are lots of sync apps out there, but as expected, none of them has the option to move files, focusing entirely on mirroring.
This means whenever I delete a show on my tablet after watching it, the sync app would replace it again.
Setting it to both way sync usually results in copying missing files rather then deleting the excess ones.
I have tried setting up an FTP server on my tablet and letting my PC handle all the logistics with a simple batch file,
but this all too often results in corrupted files because the FTP transfer seems to regularly flake out.
Does anyone know of a solution to securely and automatically move files from PC to tablet?
I'm rather baffled! I had a regular Fire for years and it was easy. plug it into pc. Open the folders that said "music", "books", whatever. Drag and drop.
but I open up my new HDX 7 in my pc? I see files under internal storage which come up as "Android", "Documents"...but no obvious place to drag and drop saved movies, books, and music.
help?

Try Android File Transfer: https://www.android.com/intl/en_us/filetransfer/ Or you can do it with ADB.
