I just recently purchase an IMac and am just learning how to use it.
When I plug in the S4 to the IMac it gives tow options on the phone, I check transfer files because I want to drag and drop some songs onto the S4 but when I go to the IMac I do not see the phone showing up on it.
Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?
It was so simple on the PC before.
Thank you,
Steven

Download Android File Transfer. I'm a Mac user and this works for me. You can also try isyncr to get an iTunes like experience, although I don't use it myself. I have heard a lot of good things about it. Stay away from DoubleTwist, it only supports data transfer over WiFi because its not compatible with MTP file transferring. Kies sucks, in my experience, but may work or you too. I recomend making Kies your last option if you don't like the others.

Do I install Android file transfer onto computer or Phone? Will this allow me to drag and drop music onto the S4?

Android File Transfer to your Mac, it allows for drag and drop. However, if you have already installed Kies, you need to uninstall it before trying to use Android File Transfer. Kies blocks it.

Android File Transfer in my opinion it is lighter weight and simple drag and drop with easy folder navigation on the phone.

Okay, I started this project about a month ago and I never really got into it. Now that I have some spare time I decided to continue.
I'm writing a program to download the latest CyanogenMod or TheOfficial Nexus ROM. After that you will choose what you want in the ROM (eg. wifi tether, Amazon MP3, Spare Parts)
Once you decide what you want in the ROM the program will remove whatever you do not want and rebuild it for you. After you rebuild it, it will give you the option allow the program to move it to your sdcard and even reboot your phone into recovery where you can perform a Nandroid and apply the ROM yourself (I will not write the program to apply the ROM because it's not really a good idea).
The program will be free of charge and you can download it and install it directly on your computer. (Windows only, sorry)
Now this sounds a LOT easier than it really is so if anybody has any experience with C# let me know if you want to help. Send me an email at [myscreenname] gmail com. Please do not email or chat me unless you're wanting to help develop the code. When I need testers I will let you know.

Q & A
Q: How is this different than Modaco's ROM kitchen?
A: Mine is software, installs on your computer with updates, and it will be free.
It's not exactly the same thing but close.
No hard feelings Modaco, don't take it personal.
Q: When will it release?
A: I can't tell you a date or a specific time but I'm working on it and I will post it the minute I think it's stable enough to pass out.
Q: Will it work on Linux or Mac?
A: Originally no, but I've had some ideas come in about Mac so I'll let you know

Free (no need to be a paid member of somewhere) and it's not a web app.
AWESOME!!!! I have always wanted something like this... and its free!!!
it will run on linux ?
I'd love to test it for you when your looking for some beta testers

Okay, thanks. I'll let you know when I get to that point.
Thanks for you efforts. I Don agree with modaco charging for something that has been free to access. What if xda forum started charging to access this site? It would kill the spirit of what most Tom chefs do here. Smh.
Sheesh, you guys don't read, or something.
He doesnt charge for access to his ROMs. But he offers his subscribers the benefit of being able to customize their ROMs to their liking, pre-flash. The "base" install without customizations are, and always have been, available for free.
Wow!
Any idea of a release date?
I can see a new section of the cm website coming soon ..............
Will you already need to be rooted for this program to work or will this be a graphical program that will also root the phone? Thanks
Looking forward to this, i will definitely contribute to your cause.
I will also volunteer to beta test for you, as well as donate for a copy of the final product. I think its awesome you're doing this.
And, as a guy who tri-boots Fedora, OSX and Win7, I feel you on the "I only write Windows stuff".
However, you should check into this tool, to make what you're writing at least cross-platform for Mac. And, its totally free (and no, I don't work for them).

You don't need a Mac to deploy to one. This is basically an IDE with a Cocoa compiler as well as a .NET compiler.
Kind of similar to how Visual Studio translates whatever language you're writing in to MSIL before compiling, but on a broader scale.
Hey guys!
I got an iPad 2 because of someone's success, so it's kinda emotional - long story short, I can't sell it, so I want to use it in an efficient way.
- the question: is there an app that turns my Galaxy S II into a touchpad/mouse that doesn't require software on the client's side - or is there any app that pairs my phone with my iPad in this way?
Thanks!
/pushing myself into greater heights
You might be able to pair a bluetooth mouse to the ipad and hope it works like a cursor(it works on the sgs2 i believe) but no way is there anything that will allow you to use the touchscreen on the sgs2 as a mouse for the ipad.

Hi !
I was wondering if there is any chance of having a file explorer in the near future .
Any thoughts?
For what purpose? Browsing pictures and wideos?

Why the question about purpose? A file explorer is generally a pretty useful thing to have. Re-opening downloaded files is a good example.
It looks like somebody have not understood the logic of windows phone.

And maybe you didn't understand the logic of the question...
A file Explorer will be nice so that you can decide for your self where to store files like e-mail attachments. I'm still recieving Zip file attachments.
For the amount of time windows phone has been available and still no file explorer...i wouldn't expect one anytime soon. If i recall correctly, its not even possible right now.

Weird contradiction of logics on the same topic.
At least give us your logic of the one you understand and someone else will give you in more detail the logic of what you do not understand.

Though you had a valid point that honestly made me laugh, I find that a file explorer would help in some ways: Renaming files, changing locations, finding email/messaging attachments easier. Renaming files has been a huge issue for me, but I can just do that from my computer at home.
Some people think they should have those features built right into the phone, so you have to understand that they want a file manager.

Hopefully you are just toying with him , with your response. The intent of his response was to indicate that the Windows Phone system has integral plan and purpose in restricting where files, pictures, downloads, etc are stored. This is most likely to insure the integration with Skydrive and its Office apps, etc. This has been in play since the release of Windows Phone 7 2 years ago. Microsoft has not deviated from this. Anyone doing any research about Windows Phone would know this. The response just highlighted that a potential new WP user was asking a question.
A quick look around Windows Phone.com and/or several wiki type sites on the web will help fill in the blanks, and will help you understand what Microsoft will and won't allow access to. Hence, the lack of a file Manager.
If you own Windows 8, you can get a little access into the folder system by connecting your device and using the Windows Explorer to see what is accessible. But you will find access limited to Storage areas and a few other spots like Documents, music, Pictures, videos and Ringtones.
As a reminder, you as an OP should have done a quick search of the forum to bring up this already known situation. Your responder should have reminded you of that, and posted a non sarcastic response..again, as per forum guidelines. Isn't life hard enough without getting into pissing contests over a mobile device app?
Well I'm working with Windows since 1988... There was GEM before then long after got ipad1 android and now wp8. All previous had a file manager...
Now as an example I was downloading a FLAC file via bluetooth
The system just was happy to download the file on the phone...
Now as we know no flac player the file got on the file system somewhere
but I was unable to locate it for deleting it as is is 15 mb of useless data
Now what?
So looked at for a file explorer but nada...
Connecting the phone to the PC only showed the basic stuff
So where did that file ended up?
Surely wp8 is nice fresh what ever you want but common that stuff is sooooo locked up worth than apple.. Surely good for security as praised by some but personally I start to hate this paranoia and philosophy that what you bought is actuality not yours..
Please someone teach me where that file ended up maybe I missed something?

This may be of some help. It's not a file manager like on Windows, but you can manage downloads and there is a file manager section. I would post the link, but I'm new. The application is called "getthemall".

Personally I use several, I use google drive, box, copy, Dropbox and Microsoft onedrive. I tend to use google drive and onedrive the most at least for pictures and documents. For files and what not I use copy and Dropbox
I really have no preference but I like to have my files backed up to more than one location just in case something happens

Yes, absolutely, there are options for backing up data, I wasn't saying that backing up or restoring that data couldn't be done.
The part about using something that will let you backup to PC and be able to read the internal content while on PC is what I was replying to.

Android stores text messages and call logs in SQLite databases.
You can pull them by means of ADB to your PC and there view them by means of a SQLite reader. For example call logs are located here:
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
