Jonathan-
Is "android file transfer" the name of the app? Can you give a link to it? I might be able to check it out.
It is the app provided by Google.
It is called android file transfer.
Worked well until I updated to mountain lion, now it doesn't detect the device or when it does can not access the sd card.
I'll check it out. You shouldn't need an app, though. I've always just connected my Android phones to my Mac using the included cable. They appear as (usually) two external drives, one is the phone and one is the SD card. I've been using Android phones for years and never even knew this app existed. I just drag on or off anything I need to.
Nope, it didn't detect my HTC Rezound. The phone and the SD card both appeared on the desktop and DropBox recognized it for photo syncing.
If you really feel the need for an app, I'd see if Marks Space's Mising Sync is updated for Mountain Lion. Not free but, when I've used it in the past, it's been excellent.
Manufacturers of my devices included the link and said it was required.
Never tried to move files without it.
Guess I will uninstall it and see.
I suppose it's possible that there are Android devices that require it but I've never heard of or used one. See how it goes. Let me know if you have a problem and I'll try to help. We just won't tell anyone over in the iPhone forum. 😉
Best of luck.
Doesn't mount or show up on the Mac.
Turned on/off USB debugging, tried mtp and ptp mode-nothing.
Galaxy S3.
I'll try to take my MBA to work tomorrow and check an S3. I'll let you know. It's a very nice phone but Samsung tends to have some, shall we say, idiosyncrasies.
I got hold of an Acer android tablet-works just fine with the Android file transfer, can access the sd card.
So it is not mountain lion.
It is either Samsung or the new sd card(which I am not removing as my case is a pain to remove and replace).
Same problem here. Neither MTP nor PTP work, with our without Android File Transfer on Mountain Lion.
What device?
Guess that would help, eh? :-)

A pattern begins to develop.....
Weird thing is it did work - long enough to transfer 7+ GB of music and video. It then threw out an error message.
After that, I can't get it to work again.
I have the same problem with Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1
It worked fine when I still had lion, but as soon as I upgrade to mountain lion, it no longe recogize the device
On the Android device it keep blinking from "Connected as Media device" to "usb debug mode" and it keep repeating as long as the ubs cable is plugged in.
