USB connection problems - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello, I've been trying to get my phone to connect to my mac via USB but have had no luck. I've tried Kies, AFT but nothing has worked out. I'm just trying to transfer my music and bluetooth takes way to long. I've searched other threads but it seams like no one has come up with a solution to the problem, is there anyone who can point me in the right direction or have a simple fix? I'm running CM Nightly 10.1 20130222 and my Mac is running Lion 10.7.5. Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Is that the factory cable included with the phone? Different (even rear) usb ports? Sorry for the small questions. Starting at the bottom

yes it is the factory cable, I have tried other cables as well. Tried both of my USB ports. Is there any other program other than AFT and Kies that I could use? Im using Wifi File Explorer Pro right now to transfer files but I would like the speed of USB if I could get it

you likely wont get the speed of usb on an "air" transfer app. do you have usb debug mode on? i use airdroid to transfer files

For Windows you can use drivers in my Sig fixed hardware I'd . For Mac find old drivers

Thats a little too short question.
Please provide more info.
Ok to make a shorter question longer, is it possible to update apps thru an usb cable connected to a computer instead of using wi-fi or mobile network?

There is a way to use your computer's internet on your phone via USB, (Google for reverse tether) but it doesn't work for play store downloads unfortunately. But if you have the apk files on the computer you can install via adb...
Sent from my MB525 using xda app-developers app
Provided you have the new APK it is possible using Droid Explorer.
If what you want to do is not use WiFi or your 3G, you could use the PC Internet while connected thru USB, this last option is not available for all phones tho.
If you only need internet connection from computer then try connectify for sharing your PC's connection wirelessly.

I have ive tried 3 different cables
Maybe try a different pc then? I know I had a hell of a time using Revolutionary to root my Evo 3D. It just would not work on my HP Lappy running windows 7 64bit. I had to use my wife's little Acer Netbook. Worked like a charm. so try to use another pc in the mean time.

My DHD as an internet modem

Hello,
how could I setup my DHD as an internet modem for my pc?
It's called USB teathering I'm sure, a lot of roms have this as a on-board feature. Needs USB cable and drivers for pc.

USB Reverse Tethering on Linux

I've tried a couple of tutorials, but without luck...
Does anybody was successful in seting up USB reverse tethering on Linux (I'm using Mint 15)? I've got adb/fastbot drivers, but it won't work

I want to use net from my PC on my HOV... that's why it's "reverse"
oooh, my mistake, have you looked on ubuntu.com?
there's quite a bit about this

I know for sure there is a program for Windows that works, maybe you could get that one and run it in. WINE? it's worth a shot I guess

It's live USB... I don't have space for Wine... btw, I was trying playing with Wine in the past, but without luck... and I'm pretty sure that reverse tethering net will be slower with emulated profram

Check your drivers in windows. Also make sure you are NOT using fast charge.
I bet it is the cable. I had the same issue. Go to device manager and enable "show hidden devices". Then delete every driver that has something to do with your phone. Then plug your phone in with a diffrent cable. Worked for me. Also you can try to enable or disable usb debugging.

I had a similar issue. I couldn't get the phone to be recognized on my work PC (using a cable that has always worked) or at home on Mac using Android file transfer and a different cable. What I think happened in my case is that I was connected to my PC in MTP mode then I unselected MTP so that neither MTP nor PTP was selected. That is what was aiming for (I only wanted to charge not connect). Though then when I went to plug in later as described above nothing came up. I looked all over for the USB settings to change it back to MTP but couldn't find it. I am sure it is there somewhere.
Anyways, after rebooting several times with no luck, I went nuclear (factory reset) which did the trick. I am running Shiny 4.4.2 and have had a pretty buggy go of it. I am likely switching ROMs, not that this necessarily has anything to do with it.
Good luck!
