I tried to have this done and the settings it told me to check on my PC matches their instructions. But for some reason my phone does not detect my pc with Kies running. I would like to get connected via wifi but I can't. Any ideas on what is going on?

It's fine on my end. Received a replacement phone from T-Mo and updated Kies, then used Kies to update to LH2
I began having problems with Kies after the most recent update. It took me awhile to solve the problem.
Everytime I would connect my phone to the PC via USB, the PC would see it just fine. Kies would also say it was connecting to my "SGH-T999", but after a few seconds of trying to connect, I would get an error of, "Unable to connect to SGH-T999. Failed to retrieve device information." I would then be unable to sync my phone.
Reboots of phone and PC would not fix the problem.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Kies several times, trying all sorts of combinations of uninstalling drivers and deleting temp files. When I did this, I could connect and sync for one time, and one time only, and then would get the same error message.
Finally, I uninstalled Kies, selecting options to uninstall USB drivers and temp files. I then also deleted the Samsung folders in My Documents, as well as in both Program Files and Program Files (x86) (I have Win 7 Ultimate x64 installed).
I reinstalled Kies and allowed it to install USB drivers as well. The phone then connected to Kies and synced fine.
I've noticed after uninstalling and reinstalling that Windows Update says there is an important update for my Samsung MTP device for a May 2012 update. I have decided not to install this due to concerns over driver conflicts, as my current set up is working just fine.
I'm glad I was able to solve this short of a factory wipe.
I had that problem and unistalled usb drivers and and reinstalled older version usb drivers

i got an S3.. and my computer has xp pro. i had to restore my computer recently from a saved image of my system. before i restored my computer, i was able to connect my S3 to it via USB with no problem. but after i restored it, i'm unable to.
i downloaded and installed the MTP driver, which got my computer to recognize my phone before i restore it. but now its not working and i dont see it listed in Device Manager. whats weird is that when i connect my S3 to my computer, the phone doesnt give any notifications that the phone is connected to USB like it used to before. and it also doesnt give me the 2 options of connecting by either MTP or Camera. all it does is charge my phone. how do i fix this?

Try a different USB cable. I had a similar problem and using another cable fixed it for me.

You also might get the pdanet usb driver and install that in your PC in order to get the usb to recognize an internet access via USB.
You should be able to download the USB driver from PDANet's website.
Just a "maybe" thought. Hope it helps!

"Error 31: a device attached to the system is not functioning windows driver foundation - user-mode driver framework."
does anyone know how to start this service?

Install kies if that doesn't do it then reflash the ROM
even after updating to 4.1.1, i still can't connect this thing to my computer, could it be a usb problem?
it endlessly says 'connecting' on kies, and other times it'll say 'hardware id missing'. then other times the drivers all install correctly and states the the device is ready for use, but on my phone a notice comes up titled 'Attention', stating that there isn't any software on my computer that can recognize the device. sometimes it HAS WORKED on ics, but no luck so far after my recent update.
what's wrong? it's been like this since the moment i've purchased the phone, but the 'Attention' notice was new after I updated to jb.
edit:
the attention notice says:
"Unable to find software on your PC that can recognise this device. Service pack 3, Windows Media Player, version 10 or higher, for Windows XP or Android File Transfer for Mac OS must be installed.
You can download and install PC Kies from (URL) in order to sync data with your device, back up data, and upgrade your device. (Windows and MAc OS are supported)."
im running windows 7. also, i think the hardware ID missing notice is linked to the attention notice.
Search Google for Samsung Galaxy s III drivers (sorry don't have a link) nd try from there.

Uninstall kies completely and download a fresh install and go from there.
Mtp error fix
I found a solution and you do not need to do a factory reset.
1. Uninstall Kies and Samsung USB Drivers
2. Go to My Computer Properties -- Device Manager -- Look For Any Android or Samsung devices.
3. Right click and select Uninstall.
4. Check "Uninstall drivers..." option.
5. After uninstalling, plug in the phone. It should work now.
Worked for me. Hope it works for you guys as well.
When I opened Kies Air on my phone, it says “When Kies is installed on your PC, you will be able to compose messages and notification on your PC”. Have anybody actually accomplished this? Whenever I opened Kies Air Message on Kies installed on my computer, I get the “Your computer is not currently connected to Wi-Fi or can not find a device”. My note2 is plugged in via USB, please help.
Sure somebody got this to work? yes? no? maybe?
I figured out the problem for those who are searching an answer to this.
1. Make sure your computer and your phone is on the same connection network.
2. Have Kies installed your PC, then go to Start, and type in KiesAirMessage.exe in the search box, this will open the KiesAirMessge standalone.
3. Turn on and start KiesAir on your phone. The PC will send your phone a code, putting this code into KiesAirMessage on your PC will allow the connection, you will only have to do this the first time.
4. Profit.
So I was trying to get the beyond rom on my device, As I was currently flashing through Odin for the rom. I'm not sure what happened during the process of the update but odin shut off on its own and cut the update off. Now I have a message on my device saying " An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency Recovery Function in the Smart Switch Mode. ".
I downloaded the smart switch software on my laptop and now the program is saying it's failing to connect to the device. I've reinstalled the samsung drivers tried many different cables not a single one has worked on my device and I've tried a different laptop too nothing has worked.
Really need some assistance on this.
Just flash stock rom with odin.
No need to panic, put yourself back to download mode, reflash firmware with odin
If you can't get it back to D/L mode (like it was in my case), maybe this helps. Mine is a S10+, though. YMMV for an S20xx
