Anyone else having issues with android file transfer app under mountain lion?
Know a fix?
iPad, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4G iPhone-Mac Mini Core2 Duo 2Ghz; 2GB RAM Eyetv w/USB HYbrid
I think for now you have to use some other software. If you have wifi, AirDroid is free and does a lot more (also reads and sends SMS messages from the Mac).
- Just search and install AirDroid from Google Play store on the mobile and click start.
- Open a browser on the Mac and go to the address specified on the phone screen (you can bookmark it in the browser).
- Click the small camera icon inside the app (on the phone) and point the phone camera at the Mac screen.
The camera recognizes and reads the large dotty icon, and automatically connects the two.
It is very quick and handy. You will see messages, videos, pictures.. all the contents of the phone (even the clipboard if you want to do copy-paste between Mac and phone).
If you are an advanced user you can also setup Fluid (http://fluidapp.com/ free for Mac Os) to create a web App for the mac that opens AidDroid. Just tell Fluid to open any link inside its panels in the preferences, type the AirDroid address in the "URL" field and you can even add an icon (you can download it from the Play Store web page of AirDroid, just drag the icon to the desktop and choose it in Fluid preferences).
Oh, and you can also setup the Mac to open the newly created Fluid app for AirDroid every time the phone is connected. You can do it inside Apple's Image Capture application. In the bottom left corner of the window (when device is connected) there is a small "triangle in a box" icon tht shows/hides opening preferences for your device. You can choose any app there. Just select "Other.." in the menu and browse to find the application you wish.
I have a Galaxy 3, have installed Android File Transfer but the USB connection to the Mac running OS X mountain lion is not recognized

Nice. Great News.
Its a great day - tried your solution and am happy to say it works and I can transfer files between iTunes and the SIII. Appreciate it and all who have tried to work the issue. Thanks again!!
Finally a solution that worked after following this thread for months. -- Thanks to Daniel Zen.
You are a bloody legend! Thank you so much for this tip. It's been ******* me off for ages. This works using Lion 10.7.5.
Fantastic. Worked for me too. Had been driving me mad for months. Well done!
Thanks Daniel, this helped me to transfer files to my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Android File Transfer.
Works like magic. No more Kies rubbish. Thanks!
It worked beatifully. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Kies is the technological equivalent of EBOLA!!!
brilliant : )
Since I encountered similar issues with my Nexus 7, I took the effort to compile numerous ways to connect in this article - if anyone is interested.
What about for those of us who never had Kies to begin with? I followed all those steps before to no avail. At this rate I just hope the Mavericks OS X can make a difference.
