Android File Transfer isn't working with my Mac after flashing Asylum CM10.2. Have searched the forums and having a difficult time finding a fix. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I would have posted in the Team Asylum's forum but I don't have enough posts to post in the development section.

have you tried another method to make the connection is working? If you have a file explorer, try connecting to your PC via lan. See if you can see your shared drives.
Thanks for the advice! The lan connection worked.

For those of you having problems with AFT I found a solution:
Navigate to settings>storage>menu button>USB computer connection>enable MTP
If that doesn't work then check out this site, there are lots of AFT fixes:http://www.tweaking4all.com/mobile-devices/android-mobile-devices/android-file-transfer/

You can try Android Manager to transfer your files between Android and computer. Android Manager can do this in the same way. It is a management tool that can transfer files between computer and Android phone. You just need to launch it in you computer, and then connect your phone to computer. It will export files from MAC to Android and import files from Android to MAC. Just have a try! It will solve your problem.

Been looking for a thread on this but cannot seem to find it. How does one go about doing this? If I download an app to the computer and want to install directly to the phone, how can I do it if Kies does not allow me to do it? It keeps telling me it is not the right format when '.apk.' states it is.
BTW, is the lastest Kies suite v1.5.1.10074_2?
Switch to mass storage on your phone and transfer the file over.

You don't need Kies. Just connect your phone as a "Mass Storage device" to your computer and copy the apk file either to the internal or external sd card. Then using a folder organizer (either the inbuilt or any other app like astro) locate the apk file on your phone and click on it. It should then prompt you to install it.
Hope this helps.
adb install
Or if u cant use USB cable, just transfer the .apk file to your SGS via bluetooth then find the file in your SGS. default is:/sdcard/bluetooth then ryn it from there.

Estrongs File Explorer can access any share on your computer directly.
Also, you can use adbWireless (just search for it). Assuming the SDK is installed, you can do:
adb connect x.x.x.x (your phone's ip address)
adb install your_app.apk
No usb connection needed.
Thanks guys. I transfered the file directly using the Mass Storage method used Astro to gain access to the file to install it. Great help from all of you. I do appreciate it very much. Again, a big thank you.
Dropbox is also great for transfering apk-files to your phone!

That's what I'm using
Perfectly fine, and even very practical. I sometimes give out links to my dropbox to my friends if they want an app that they saw on my phone.
Whoops, double post.
Hey guys,
I was hoping for some advice. I installed Jelly Bean and I cant find my music files or my pics. Now if I run root explorer I can find them in the SD card menu but if I just open gallery or music they will not be there.
Now I wanted to move them so I can actually access them and have tried two ways. Using root explorer and copy and pasting the folder. That did not work. And then I was going to just move the files around by connecting my phone to my computer. When I do this I cant even access my SD card for some reason. And yes USB debugging is on and checked.
So how do I get these files to where I need them? Any help would be amazing. Thank you in advance guys.
This is for development only . But files should be in there unless you partitioned the SD card. Maybe try using a different cord or plugging in a different USB. Happens to me a couple of times so I have to locate file in my computer.

Install and run SDRescan from the market.
Go to the folder where they are stored and look for ".nomedia" file and delete it from the folder and then the galley and music app should find them

None of these options worked....and no its not my cord because I can access files just not the ones I need.
In before closed!

Well there is at least someone else with my issue. Now can anyone tell us how to fix?
The problem I am having is my photos do not appear after I take them, but if I go and sort out display options in the gallery by date they appear. All of my music is there and no problems. I didn't have this issue when I first went to jb. BTW I have a gsm nexus

I guess nobody has a answer
Hi,
Do you see your specific files in ICS?
Have you tried Menu > Refresh?
Have you tried clearing Gallery data?
Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery?
Think out of the box

Could also be ROM related. Have you tried a different Jelly Bean ROM?
Here comes probably a solution
Guys, for those having issues with Media process, where Pictures & Musics don't show up, here's the solution that worked for me:
I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21746289&postcount=2 (thanks Chrono_Tata).
Based on what Chrono_Tata wrote, I decided to create a ".nomedia" file in my main personal directory, where contains pictures, musics, personal files and so on.
(For those not familiar with Linux, the ". (dot)" in the beginning of the filename is very important! It means that it's a hidden file. You can create it through ES File Explorer)
For testing purposes, I copied some musics / pics to directories out of that my structure.
Then, stopped and cleaned data for: Gallery, Google Music and Media . Afterwards, restarted phone.
Bingo. It did work, and I could see the pics/musics outside my main directory (although it takes a while to re-scan everything, so wait! Gallery and Music will show nothing until scan is complete).
Well, after I realized it did work, I continued in the following way:
1) Delete the previous ".nomedia" file that I created
2) Create a new one under some sub-directory.
3) Repeat process for re-scan
I did it until I found which directory had an issue (btw, my pictures directory).
I think it might be related to thumbs.db file created by Win, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I still have to check carefully my structure to find the issue.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Adriano.
I can access my Clockwork Mod files via my Gnex, but they are not accessible when trying to copy to my PC. I see the device, I can see the CWM folder, but no backup folder exists. I can see everything else on the device. Tried coping the files to the root with no success. I have been able to access this files in the past.
Ideas?
I haven't had a problem specifically with CWM files, but changing the folder options on my PC (inside the Galaxy Nexus folders) to "show hidden files" usually did the trick...

Small chance, but look in your "clockworkmod" folder and its subfolders and see if there are a file called ".nomedia" which would cause the folder contents to be hidden when connected to the PC in MTP mode.
You can also use the app AirDroid to transfer files through WiFi.

I'm pretty sure that's a solution to the opposite problem. Hence, the files are showing up on the computer and phone file manager, but not in the apps. The .nomedia file tells the apps not to scan the specific folder they're sitting in. For example, yesterday my friends Galaxy Mini wasn't showing any pics in the gallery app or music in the music app, even though they clearly existed on the phone (via file manager and when hooked up to the PC). Deleted the .nomedia file and <insert sound effect here (I.E."BAM!"> all was good.

Thanks for the assistance, but no luck. Using Airdroid at the moment, but is is slower than slow.
Any other ideas are appreciated.

Try Local Sync, it easy and fast.
Thanks
Thanks. Local Sync doesn't seem to be much quicker. Can't find the option to sync one folder only, so it is syncing my entire CWM folder.
Question still stands why the heck I can't see those files via my PC.

Have tried reboots o both PC and phone. Also tried a different PC. Very strange that i can see everything else.
I could try to restore from a previous CWM backup and see if I am able to copy.
Any luck using adb?
ADB

ADB command line is a bit out of my scope. Maybe I'll take a shot at it later. Installed a previous CWM BU, but no success.
Is anyone using a Mac (10.8.2) to transfer files from PC to Phone (internal and external storage)??
What's everyone using? Android File Transfer.app DOES NOT work
thanks
I use AirDroid. It connects wirelessly to your phone via WiFi. A greatly convenient app.
I like using ftp. It's pretty fast, and ftp is a breeze to setup on a mac. Then you can use AndFTP on your phone.
If you want to use your USB, you can look into using adb from the Android SDK. With that you can use "adb push" to push files to your phone or "adb pull" to put them from your phone to your computer.

Hello,
I was trying few things:
1. Download sound card drivers to my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, then copy them to USB memory stick. When i tried to install them on PC I got a message that *.exe file is corrupted.
2. I had a Google document (docx) and I did convert it to a pdf file with android app. I was able to open it normally on android device but unable to do iton PC. Same issue, file corrupted.
My memory stick is FAT32, never had any problems with it.
What tha hell is going on? Pictures and other media files works great while transfering, these I mentioned about not.
Please help!

I think I may know what happend, but didn't try yet. Probably I did remove memo stick without taping "safely remove..." and data wasn't copied right. I don't know about pdf files if they were converted good but drivers works fine now.
