What is best way to Sync music from Mac to G4 ? I've more than 60GB of music collection in my itunes. Is there a easier way to bring it to G4 ?
Android File Transfer and G4 works from time to time to allow me to copy files directly to G4's SD card, but that is not an option for automatic sync. Is there any better way to make G4 work well with Mac ?
And same way if I've pictures on phone and want to get it on my Mac how should I do it without going online. Prefered way using USB.
no usb transfer sorry.the best way is google drive for me.another way is a usb with option to insert inside the micro sd you have on your phone.

try this http://web.airdroid.com/
i use this on my mac with my lg g4
Before I started using Linux i always used isyncr for itunes with my Samsung note 1. Just search on the playstore for it.

I use ftp. Solid explorer works really well for me. Start the server from the g4 and login with the client from the computer. I do it on all my androids from my Mac pro and macbook. Works well.
Try "Portal" by Pushbullet...

Thanks for the info, unfortunately it wont sync things with iTunes. I've music collection already organized in iTunes and would like to reuse that.
Get Android manager app to import or export both pics and music to and from
Dropbox is how I sync everything.
I don't know how the hell to access your files from iTunes, but once you do, I recommend you upload your... 60GB! of music to Google Play Music.
They will allow for free up to 50,000 songs, with each song allowed up to 300 MB max size.
Other options require you to buy additional storage.
Google Play Music is available on most/all platforms and you can keep some/all your songs available offline whenever you need to.
My only problem with this app is that on Android, you cannot move your offline files to the external SD (or you can but it's too much work). But that's expected to change with Android M.

iSyncr is driving me absolutely ****ing nuts. So many errors, so slow, and completely botching the hell out of my playlists. Have wasted countless hours for days in a row now troubleshooting with who I think is the creator of the app via email. I'd be so relieved to find a solution that works for somewhat smoothly syncing a very large music library from my Mac to the 128GB micro SD card I'm using in my LG G4.

Ok, I know I'm not crazy, but is there ANY way, besides Bluetooth, to transfer large files between the LGOG and another Phone?
I've tried the LGOG's FileShare app but it refuses to recognize my GS3 even after they both connect via Wi-Fi Direct. And just using plain ol' Wi-Fi Direct doesn't even come up as a sharing option on this phone. I can't use NFC obviously because it's only intended for small files and links. I've already tried bluetooth, but I have another thread floating around this forum detailing my experience with my LGOG being unable to connect to ANY other phone after it powercycled when connected to a friend's GS3. (On a side note, it did it AGAIN when I was connected to my bluetooth speaker today)
This is the only thing that freaking bugs the hell out of me about this device. The lack of options to wirelessly share files between devices. Obviously my bluetooth is most likely defective. Waiting on a custom OS to see if that will resolve my BT issues. But come on, this is ridiculous.
EDIT:
Oh, and the SmartShare app limits you to only Pictures, Video, and Music!
You could always connect both phones to a PC and put them in MTP mode (not charge mode) and the PC will recognize them both as a media player, allowing you to browse the entire file system. Then just copy the file from one phone to the other using PC.
Can't WiFi direct be used? I know you tried it but maybe your doing something wrong. Sadly I've never messed with it

Well, I have a GS3 also. On that phone, whenever you long press on a file/app and click "Share", Wi-Fi Direct comes up as one of the options to use as a file transfer medium. All you have to do is clock wifi direct and click the device and BOOM! The file starts sending. However, on the LGOG, it's not that simple for some odd reason. I can turn on wifi direct on both phones AND link them. But if i wanna send a file from my LGOG to another wifi direct device, it doesn't come up as a share option. You can open up Smartshare and use the LGOG like a DLNA server and play/upload music, movies, and pictures from the LGOG to the other wifi direct device. But Smartshare (unless i'm using it wrong) only limits you to those three options. What if I want to transfer an 850MB .zip or .iso file???
You could try "samba file sharing" on the market. Phone should show as a samba share on your windows network. Then you can use es file explorer, LAN, access the share. Have not tried, but this should enable wireless file sharing.

Haha, so funny that you mentioned that app. I did an intense search and ended up stumbling on Samba Fileshare a few hours after my last post. Has a tendency to force close every now and then but it works pretty good.
I mean this is ridiculous that a top tier phone is so difficult (impossible) to sync playlists on, I am also pretty knowledgable regarding digital music, phones, and computers and still cannot get this working after months. Using MTP i can occasionally get ONE playlist to sync using winamp but when i try to do more it will erase the other ones or clear them out. I then got an app that puts my external SD card ino mass storage mode and that almost works but after adding about 20 songs to a playlist only 5 or so actually showed up. Doubletwist does not work. Windows Media player did not work. Using Kies it puts the songs on my phone but not the playlists.
If anybody can actually do this please share how. I used to have a captivate and this was as simple as it should be. So frustrating that i have spent this much time on it and still haven't gotten anywhere.
I just copy music over WiFi with es file explorer. Shared off some folders on my Windows box and I'm good to go

it's not getting the music on there that is the problem it is the actual playlists. I want to be able to go through all my music on my computer and make playlists then transfer them onto my phone and it is damn near impossible.

hm, i never got around to it myself, i just dump all my music on a 64GB MicroSD and there they are, but my mom sync'ed playlists i think with windows media player on my old GS3. MTP mode, debug in developers options ON.
It's more about what program you're using. I personally use isyncr. Though I find it strange that winamp isn't working.
Try "easyphonesync" from the playstore.
i'll check out a couple of the suggestions. It's actually not even so much an issue of 'syncing' the playlists either, more so just being able to transfer them one way from my computer to my phone
+1 for rsync
I shopped around for a couple of weeks for software to sync my playlists AND music. (I'm on Mac OS)
I couldn't find anything better. Give it a shot.

Hi everyone,
An iOS App called "DeskConnect" caught my attention because it is pretty neat at what it does. It allows you to send files from your PC/Mac to your, in this case, iDevice (or vice versa) over WiFi in a breeze. You just have to download the App on the computer and iDevice register with the same account on both devices.
My question is, is their an application similar to DeskConnect for Android? I'd like to download an App on my Mac and HTC One and be able to send stuff from my computer by just dragging what I want to send into the application and then receiving the document in the application on my phone.
I know I can probably connect my phone via USB and then transfer files like but I want to know if there is an easy way to do this over WiFi.
AirDroid is pretty cool for doing that.
For me sometimes a bit buggy though. (especially when transferring mp3)
Still in my opinion the best choice!
Everything runs over your browser.
Ps: the registration is only needed if you want to transfer files through the Internet rather than using your network.

PushBullet is what I use. But the limit for uploading a file is 25MB. I know some apps are bigger than that but it's worked well for me so far, light on the PC and phone, just runs on the browser as well.

PushBullet!:good: It's simple. Download the app to your phone and the Chrome extension, log in to both and voila "push" files with one click!

I've been using WiFi File Transfer Pro for a good while now, it's very good..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en
I would say Air Droid is best because you can also control your camera and have notifications displayed on the PC
Android has a lot better solution than that. You can install "Software data Cable" . Chose Sync and it create an FTP server. You just need to have a FTP client on your PC/Mac/Linux.
What's more, when the phone is not in wifi network, it can create an wireless Hotspot.

ES File Explorer which is very easy to setup, especially using this guide
Solid Explorer has a nifty FTP share feature... I used it because for what ever reason I couldn't mount my One via USB. Airdroid works well too.
Whoa! Didn't expect to get a lot of replies, thanks you guys!

Been using Wifi File Explorer Pro for about 5 years now without a single problem. I can highly recommend it
Swiftkeyed from my Renovated HTC One
Why install extra app
ES Explorer do all jobs
Activate WiFi Hotspot or connect phone to PC WiFi
open ES explorer >> tools >> remote manager >> click on Turn on Note ftp address >> Windows explorer >> address bar >> fill Ftp address from phone to bar & now you can access all files
Phone to phone file transfer same way & 1 more short way
SuperBeam is Also for both PC & Phone
Zapya has a perfect interface and possibilty to connect to iphone and PC by wifi direct. Approximately 3MB per second

You can always use bluetooth but it's quite slow

AndroidFileTransfer works fine on Mac for me. But if you have installed the Mac version of LG PC Suite, this will prevent AndroidFileTransfer from working when you connect your LG phone.
Hope this helps!
The easiest way is Airdroid. The speed transfer depends on your wifi network:

don't you guys find airdroid too slow?
I ended up transferring the files to a flash disk, and connecting the flash disk to my phone to transfer it. (i used a cable, usb in and micro usb out)

That depends for what.
For music, I use Google Music manager to synchronise my music.
For pictures, I take them directly on Google Plus.
So I dont so often use Airdroid, only sometimes for few files.
Anyone have a fast way to transfer from phone to PC via WiFi?
I'm using ES File Explorer Pro and have set up a shared folder on the PC, it works, but it's slow, like 400kB/s for photos which takes forever

Thanks but I don't want any sync apps / programs, just a way to copy manually across via WiFi the same as I can with ES, but at a decent speed
I've tried those sync programs before and they're as annoying as iTunes
Everything I have found about SMB copying via ES has the same problem as I am having, not sure why as I am on 5GHz WiFi and it should be quick
It's not making sense though, if say I tell it to send 5 x images, it will run at about 400kB/s, if I try the other way around and copy from PC to Phone, it runs at upto 5MB/s
And if I copy the exact same way but to my NAS instead, it copies at 1.4MB/s

Yea I came across that yesterday, I`ll check it out thanks
I've tried about everything and always go back to just using either Dropbox or Google Drive. It's a 2 step process but I've found that I can almost immediately go to my other device and it will be available.
I use Total Commander with the LAN addon now, works perfectly, create a shared folder on PC, done
I'm using Droid over WiFi for this
