I have a weird issue going on. Before the Jellybean update I was able to backup my phone using my Mac computer and Android file transfer. Now since getting the update my phone connect to my computer. It won't connect as media device (MTP) or as a camera (PTP). Any ideas and help would be appreciated

So I've read multiple threads on phones not being able to connect to their computers and none of them can help me.
When i connect my phone with us to my computer it says mtp connected on the phone, but when i try and find the phone on the computer its nowhere to be found. It never used to say mtp connected it was just the usual connection. Once i installed kies on computer it started saying mtp. I just want to be able to connect my phone to send files and usb tether again. Any suggestions? I feel like I've tried everything.
It also doesn't help i don't have the internet. I always used my phones through pdanet.

How did you install kies without the internet? You could try uninstalling drivers deleting kies.. Then reinstalling kies and plugging in phone..

It used to connect. So i used pdanet for internet and got kies. It connected to kies once. Next day went to use it again i got nothing. Just said mtp connected on the phone. Tried installing drivers and kies but didn't realize it needed the internet to install kies. I have the kies installer still.
Anyhow long would i have to leave it plugged in for? I had it in for over 15 minutes.

Unplug usb then go to settings>applications>development and check usb debugging, reconnect usb and mount from phone and it should show up.

Restart your pc and try again.

I had this problem also and it was because the drivers weren't installing correctly.

If you have any phone available that will connect then download drivers onto that phone then transfer to comp and install.. had to do that on a laptop before..

Thanks everyone. I just used a laptop from someone else. Much easier

Hey,
I need to backup my internal storage via wi-fi because my USB connector is defective and the computer wont recognize anymore..
Any suggestions on apps or a process to do this? Someone suggested AirDroid to me..
Thanks
I know you can do it through KIES plugged into USB. KIES AIR should be able to do the same thing over wifi. I have never tried it though. I am sure somewhere here are the files for it if you are running a custom ROM that it was cut out of. Do a search and try it out.

Anyone else have other ideas? I tried Kies, it sucks (its slow and failed in the middle of my 2000 pictures, and theres no resume or synchronize, so its a fail)
I tried FSync with an ftp server which seems to work good but at first look im missing alot of files.
File expert has a good smb plugin for windows networking, do a multi select on your directories and paste them onto a network shared drive

AirDroid. Look it up on the Play Store.

I use FolderSync over smb, works great. I have a profile set to start the sync when on home wifi+ charging.

That's just as slow as Kies
If you have Windows 7 you could try wifi direct

My AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII is suddenly no longer being recognized by my Windows 7 x64-bit PC. I don't recall doing anything to the phone or PC that would've caused this. It's been about a week or so since I last connected the phone to the PC, and I recall that for about a week or two before that, I was having trouble in that I'd connect the phone and nothing would happen, so I'd have to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, then the PC would recognize it and the Explorer window would open up on the PC showing the internal and external storage on the phone. I'm trying to transfer more of my music to the phone, and it's extremely frustrating to not be able to do that!
Any ideas what's wrong?

Have you tried another cable? The one that comes with the phone is crap.

Definitely try a new cable. I had to get a replacement chord after 2 weeks of having my phone.
I have the same problem with my Mac after updating to UCLH1 ROM....
Have the correct drivers installed?

power off the phone, remove and re-install the battery. worked for me
If you backed up the Imei recently you may have used the qpst app to set the phone to connect to a port instead of MTP. Did you recently do this ? If so you need to set usb settings back to MTP.

I had the exact same issue not too long ago. I tried re-installing drivers...pulled out battery..different usb cable..factory wipe...and also tried three different PC, and still S3 wasn't recognize. I solved this issue by using CyanogenMod 10 ROM....not to mention this rom is so much better than the stock rom . I'm currently on the NEW CM10 Night 8/19 build, and so far no issues connecting phone to PC. By the way i'm on Rogers and you can get the rom here..http://get.cm/?device=d2att

Yeppers... with other problems I've had/read, I think the latest H1 leak has major problems... which may explain why it hasn't been officially released.
Once i moved over to the H1 build, that was when my pc (w7) stopped recognizing my phone, as well. i can get into it if i mount it as camera, it will let me explore the phone/sd card but i just use Kies to transfer....
I finally got my Note 2 (YAYYYY) and I love it but one question...does anyone have any success using android file transfer on Mac and it recognizing the Note 2? It keeps saying that it doesn't recognize my phone...I was having the same issues with my S3 when it received the Jellybean update. TIA

When ever Adroid itself swtiched from Universal Mass Storage to whatever it is now it hasnt been recognized by my Macs since then. Possibly on the Epic 4G Touch w/ICS, but not sure if it was that far back. I have a Win 7 VM on my Macbook, and a Win 8 VM on my MacMini that i just fire up when I need to mess with a droid, Or since the Samsung folks were so thoughtful not to cover the sd slot with the battery I just throw the MicroSD into a usb reader I keep on a keychain.
You can also use Kies to transfer files via your web browser. It should already be installed on your phone. Just fire it up and follow the directions. I found it worked pretty well to transer files in both directions.
I also found that with a micro usb adapter you can plugin any usb flash or external drive and it will auto mount on your phone. The only problem I've seen with this however is that the unmounter process doesn't seem to quit on it's own after pulling the drive. This then causes the cpu to be stuck at 1.6ghz and drains the battery pretty fast. So, I just reboot my phone afterwards.

Thanks everyone. I got it working. I had to install Kies then use the uninstall icon that came in the .dmg Kies file. Once I uninstalled Kies using this method AFT recognized my phone. All is well again lol

I wish Kies wireless didn't rely on the steaming pile on insecure code that is Javascript

Only way I was successful with Android file transfer was after un installing Kies. . Also make sure you are using the usb cable that came with your phone. I tried with my old usb cable and it wouldn't recognize.

You can also use Airdroid or Wifi File Transfer to transfer files wirelessly.
Mine works fine just make sure phone is unlocked when connecting it is all I have to do. AFT pops right up and sees phone and card.

So I recently rooted my SGS3, then I tried connecting to Samsung Keis and can't seem to connect. The Kies action bar tries to connect but doesn't seem to be able to finish the process. Anyone else have this issue or a fix?? Thanks

Problem not worth fixing. Uninstall Kies.
My kies from laptop never worked. So I remove it from pho ne too.

Okay, what do you recommend I use that is similar to Keis with drag and drop feature??

Tell me what you need Kies for and I will suggest something.
Drag and drop what? Files? Use Windows Exploiter for that.
I'm trying to move large torrent files from my phone into my Mac. And Airdroid takes way too long

Playlist
I am having this same problem. I don't like using kies I usually use Monkey Media but could not get playlist to import with it. I am a huge playlist guy buy like to change them regularly on my PC. I find it a pain to make playlist directly on Note 2. Any suggestions?

I was able to prior to rooting my phone. I'm only using my Mac as a bridge so that I can move large files onto my 1terabyte Seagate external hard drive which is connected to my Mac...
This is so frustrating:banghead:
