If it is powered up you should be able to connect it to pc and it should connect via mtp and you will have access to both internal and external sdcard. Just like you did before the screen broke.

yes, i can connect my phone via usb but the problem is i can't access to my files
because it's locked and my phone alive.

There was a Windows app that can mirror your screen to your computer via usb. I forget the name of it though. I used it when I broke my screen.
I don't recall the name though

Well if you know how to use adb then you can boot into recovery. Then mount the the internal sdcard and pull it. Everything on your external sd can be accessed via a card reader.

Are you enabling usb storage? When you plug it in pull the notification bar down and click on it then hit the button? Dont need drivers to access mass storage

Drivers
You have 2 options
You can download the drivers referenced here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307478
I had to enable USB Debugging to get it to work correctly with Windows 7.
But after that you can access both the SD card and the internal memory on the phone through Windows Explorer
Or you can use the Kies software and do it wirelessly. Details here:

Have you turned on USB debugging mode?
Reboot phone and pc. Mine does that sometimes. I bought a mt4g new and it did that too me. Returned it and got a new one and it did the same. Reboot my pc and it worked. I felt like a tool.

I have no problems using a 32 bit PC - but with 64 bit Window's professional, it is as if the phone were only connected to power. Companion link synch program overcomes this problem -- apparently it installs its own drivers and after doing a usb synch to outlook, I am able to use windows to transfer files between the galaxy S 2 (t989) and windows. However I have not found any drivers that permit the Samsung to connect to the Windows 7 using usb cable w/o using companion link first.
I had the same problem and samsung tech support had me pull the battery for 30 seconds. That did the trick, but it has happened once since.

Here is exactly what you need! all you need to do is download it, plug your phone in, and run it!
Link to android file transfer for mac: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Note that it may not read the phone if the lock screen is up. Can be a pain if you're in a rush.

Yup. Random freezing, disconnecting, etc. Also takes forever to open a folder.

has anyone found a way around using this horrible program
i like airdroid (find it on google play) it connects to the same wifi as your pc or you connect to the mobile hotspot and you open http://ipaddressofthephone:8888 and theres a website where you can push and pull files and other cool things.

Computer not showing phone on AOKP?

My computer always detected my phone fine until I installed AOKP. I have USB debugging enabled, and I dont get the usual option to mount as mass storage or whatever it was. Is there an option that I seem to be overlooking?
Should be a USB mass storage app in the app drawer thats what aokp came with when i flashed it and without it it doesn't connect to PC I deleted it and then had to restore it when i was testing removable apps

I did not remove anything, and I can't find a working app to do it in the play store.

Thanks for the file, after that was installed magically the stock looking one started working. It won't let me go in to my sd card, but atleast I can get into my phone.
Yea getting in external SD is a bit of a pain I just pop it in a card reader to use it I put most of the stuff I need for the rom I'm on on internal SD tho cuz it's alot faster than the external

Yea that's what I planned on. I didn't need to follow the instructions you sent, the file was labeled "install" automatically on my phone so it did everything for me haha.

Sd card damaged, may need to reformat it.

I have reformatted my card several times from the storage setting. Nothing work just stays "damaged"

Do you have an adapter? Can you plug it in to a computer to test?
Well I'm not next to a computer at the moment. I formatted it through the settings in the phone and it doesn't seem to "fix" damage

Are you sure it's connected to your phone? Try using it on another device that uses an SD card.

This is another good option. Personally, I would plug into a computer and run a diagnostic check on the SD card. I would hate to lose pics and data due to using a faulty sd card.
This happened to me many times. I dont really kow what could've caused it. All i know is that i've never had any problems with any of my SD cards, until i got the S3. So weird.
Well it's connected to the pc via usb and there is no option through the pc to format the drive

That's because of the way the GS3 handles the external SD card. I don't remember the details but it is not mounted as USB mass storage.
Going back Metal Slug's post, if you have another device that can mount is as USB mass storage, or an micro sd -> sd adapter would be the only other option.
What size is the card?

Cracked screen. Looking to get data off of internal SD

Screen is cracked not working but I do have clockwork recovery installed.
Question is what button sequence do I have to hit to get to mount the USB storage and access the files on my PC?
if I go into recovery I know I have to hit up 2x but from there I don't know where to go.
Help Plz!!!
If you have windows xp or above once you plig in your gs3 a window should pop up....there you can view all the files on your phone...or download Kies feom samsung and your phone should show up there..files and all.

I'll try kies but I have the phone swipe locked and I think that's stopping me from accessing the folders.
It says connection locked in Kies.. hmm what else can I try?
I'm not sure what else you can do

Have you looked into screen mirroring pc programs? I know there are at least 2 or 3 options. I'm not sure if they all require the phone to be unlocked. Another option would be to do hdmi mirroring to disable the lockscreen.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The swipe unlock shouldn't affect you being able to access your files on tge phone via pc. Once you plugin your phone windows should start installing drivers and within a few minutes allow you to browse your phones internal memory...or ext sdcard. Good luck!
