Hi, maybe i'm not the first to ask this question, but i have several problems to manage my note 2 with my Mac. I use Airdroid for small files transfer, but if i want to transfer a rom, or any big file, it's just too slow. I tried to use Android File Transfer but it seems to not recognize anything. Is there anybody that can help me?
Thanks and sorry for some mistakes, i'm italian.
Is usb debugging on or off in developer options?
Android file transfer has been working well on my mac.

You shouldn't buy a Mac..
Macs and android dont go together well.

If I helped you, please hit Thanks..
I also have a mac but haven't had the need to transfer large files over.
Have you tried taking out your micro sd card and transfer files to that?
Sorry I wasn't sure if you were trying to transfer to device memory or just to the phone in general.

Setup a dropbox account. Install it on the pc and the app on the phone. The pc will always stay synched and you can get to your files from anywhere.
There are many options to do what I think it is you want. You could set up an SSH server on your system, create a rule through your router/firewall and if you don't have a static IP use something like OpenDNS; then use a VPN client to connect (VPNRoot in Play Store works).
You could also use DropBox, Box.net, SkyDrive, Google Drive or any other 'cloud' sync service for specific files too.
Or more simply you can use something like LogMeIn or TeamViewer. Both are dead simple and if you really do need access to your system while your away (or do remote tech support) these are well worth the price(s).
Are you looking for something like Samba for android?
Not sure if you are looking for something that will allow you to do this when you aren't near your PC, or if you are looking at something so you don' have to hook up your phone to your computer.

It allows you to copy files to and from your phone via Wi-Fi... maybe you just didn't rtfm. Also wireless adb will too
Edit: maybe I don't know what you want.. Webkey answers question in the subject but the post is not really in English..

What method does everyone use to transfer files to and from their PC?
dropbox
Airdroid
I have a question that fits here;
Is there any way to make the s3'S onboard and external SD Read and appear in windows as a flash drive (ftp i think?) Instead of a "media device"?
USB transfer. My computer shows both main and external card.
But now that I have dropbox, it has been my primary means for transfer.
Lol I used to carry a thumb drive everywhere.

I am having a problem accessing folders/files while my Note 2 is connected to PC as Media Device.
Let me do state/clarify that I have no problem accessing any folder/file from phone when using any file manager app.
It's when I connect my Note 2 to my PC/and or Linux box, that I do not see all the available folders that I know should be there.
Some are completely missing and some are even showing up, BUT are being read as empty - particularly those that are hidden folders (that I purposely named them starting with a period to hide its contents) (yes, I have enabled "show hidden files" on my linux box as well)
This is happening on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Now I'm not talking about system folders and files. I'm talking about missing folders from sdcard0 and extSdCard!
Here's the kicker though... If I remove my MicroSD card from my phone and insert it to my PC's card reader, all the missing folders/files are there!
WTF???
Is it because when using the cable to my PC the phone is being mounted as Media Device instead of an attached storage as when I insert the microsd card to my PC?
Anyone else having this problem?
Wow no one else is having this issue? It Cant just be me. It did it with the stock ROM and a custom ROM

Ive always had an issue but its Ubuntu related. Windows its a driver issue.
-first try an removing device from device manager. Unplug and reboot. Install them fresh.
-make sure you have switched on to connect as MTP. When your connected, pull it down an see what options are available.

This seems to be a common issue with Samsung devices. I had the exact same issue and it drove me crazy.

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??
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
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

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?
Mac does not allow you to copy the contents of a micro SD to the hard drive?

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:

You can try a program for windows called "recuva" its free and you will need a sd card reader do not attach your phone via usb. I repeat do not attach your phone via usb. Use a sd card reader. There are also a number of free recovery tools online but I myself got out of a sticky situation using recuva. Hope it helps..
