Plug and play ability between Android and Mac OS 10.6?

Its 2017 now, time of mac book pro and Android Nought. But i guess lot of people will still look for the solution.

Download "Android File Transfer tool" from Android website and install on your mac.

Plug your Android phone, ensure that screen is not Off/in Sleep/Locked ( Go to Settings> Lock screen >sleep > extend it to longer time say 10 minutes). On plugging, android will prompt for "Use USB for" . Choose "File Transfer".

On mac, open the application "Android File Transfer tool". It will detect the connected android device and open the storage. You can transfer files from both ends.

Note: 1.You wont get android storage icon on desktop in the way you get when connecting an external storage.

2. Android website shows a message limiting transfer to 4GB. However I could transfer more without any hitch

Hi There

No drivers required; however, you will need to turn USB Debugging on on the phone. To do this go to Go to Settings > Applications > Development on your phone and click on USB Debugging. Connect to your computer via the USB cable then Drag down the notifications window and click on USB Connection. Click on Mount. The phone's SD Card will now appear on your desktop and you can drag/drop items to it in the Finder.

Thanks J.C!

I already had USB debugging enabled and it still wouldnt recognize. Not sure if that has anything to with the fact I am running a custom rom. i went to android.com/filetransfer, dl'd the dmg file and everything works great.
