Galaxy S5 :: Not Connecting To Android Files Transfer On Mac?
Jun 28, 2015
I have just bought an S5 and I am trying to transfer music over from my iMac. I've downloaded Android File Transfer, and deleted Kies (as I had read that I should do), but each time I try to connect the phone to the computer, I keep getting a message on the computer saying that the phone won't connect and I should try reconnecting or restarting. I've done both of these things, but I still haven't been able to connect successfully once.
I just got my GS6, and I'm really sad because I'm reading that it's very hard to transfer SMS from windows to android (or any other) devices. There has to be a way though! I have a lumia 1020 and I am wondering if any ways to transfer SMS at all, even if it'll take a bit of extra work I don't mind.
I have had a 64GB SD card in my Galaxy S5 for a while. Of course the capacity is actually 59GB and I have just about 56GB of files(music,pics,videos,etc.) I was recently gifted a 128 GB SD card that I've been wanting. Now,the problem is transferring all my stuff from old SD card to new one. Back when I had smaller cards from 4 even to 32GB,I could back it up to my PC hard drive. Since then,I still have the same PC/hard drive but with not enough space. What can I do?
I have Galaxy S6 for about a week, and everything worked perfectly before. Now, when I connect phone to PC, it's just charging and I can't share files. Also, USB OTG isn't working anymore, when I plug USB into the phone nothing happens.
Is it possible that it's not working because of "Package disabler pro" app? I installed it yesterday, and it stopped working after I disabled some packages. But I enabled all the packages back, restart the phone and it's still not working!!
Never had KIES installed, my usb ports work fine, I tested them, my cable works fine. checked the Media Device (MTP) still doesn't work... deleted and re-installed AFT multiple times, i still get the "Could not connect to device. Try reconnecting or restarting your device"
I recently made the switch from iPhone to a galaxy S5. I have a macbook pro that of course has my music in iTunes. I recently tried downloading the android file transfer but whenever it would try to open on the mac it told me it could not connect to my device and to try to restart it or reconnect it. Nothing I did has made a difference. The computer just won't connect to the phone it seems. Both my S5 and mac have the latest versions possible updated so that's not an issue. I'd really like to get more of my music on my S5 other than what I put on there right when I got the phone using SmartSwitch.
My S6 will not stay connected to my PC so I can transfer files, use Kies, SmartSwitch, or anything. Sometimes I hear the Windows notification that it's plugged in, but even when I do, it goes back and forth between being recognized and not. Most of the time it doesn't even show up in Device Manager.
I'm currently running Windows 10, but it did the same thing on Windows 8.1. I have downloaded the Samsung USB drivers as well as allowed Kies and SmartSwitch to install them.
Thinking my Windows 10 being upgraded from 8.1 without a full wipe carried over whatever problem was in 8.1, I did a full wipe of my PC and reloaded Windows 10 clean. That also didn't work.
When I first installed Windows 10 clean, my PC didn't recognize my phone at all. It just acted like a charger. After I installed the Samsung USB drivers, it started making the 'connecting' and 'disconnecting' sounds. Also, the most I got Windows to recognize my phone was for about 5 seconds, and that was right after turning off USB debugging. But with it on or off, it still won't stay connected.
And yes, I've made sure (when the phone has connected for a second or two) that it was on MTP. But... I've tried the camera mode as well.
This makes it not only impossible to move files easily between my phone and PC, but also to use Odin.
I've read many posts where people have this problem, but everyone just tells them to go download the Samsung USB driver, and after having done so three different ways, I can say it doesn't work for me.
This was working fine, and now all of a sudden, probably after an update, it stopped. I cannot get the phone to even begin a USB connection to my PC, only charges. I've tried fiddling with every setting imaginable. Incredible frustrating that the simplest things will not work on this phone.
I have been using my Galaxy s6 to connect to my iMac for about a month. Recently every time I plug it in , it keeps giving me an "No android device found message" I have been doing a lot of researching and they where saying something about enabling MTP , but I couldn't even find that on my phone. The android version I am using is 5.0.2.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S5 and am already almost out of storage space. I transferred some files from my old phone (photos, contacts, etc.) and have only downloaded two apps. Under Storage, it says that Miscellaneous Files take up 13.10GB of space - and that Mobile Content Transfer is the biggest culprit of this. If I delete this file, would I lose everything that transferred? I've added an SD card but can only put a few apps onto it and not much else.
my phone & had it for a week or so have used the android market before & downloaded some applications which are all good but last night it came up with network error has occurred retry or cancel & return to the preious screen? im trying to access the android market 1.6 & my new application for downloading music which were both working fine earlier in the evening now they arnt?

I'm using a Xperia pro along with a Dell BH200 Bluetooth headset, Unfortunately calls does not come on Bluetooth, I can hear Audio/Video anything other than taking calls, Sometimes when receiving calls i have to receive call turn off bluetooth and then answer phone.
I recently purchased a new N900 phone. After installing pc suite and connecting the phone to pc suite, I did not know what I did, but I found out my device now has all duplicate files/folders such as 2 video files, 2 music files .etc and they are all identical.
My work have decided to renew our mobile contracts and rather than a 1020 I have to use a Galaxy S5. Ordinarily it wouldn't bother me but I have a lot of SMS on the phone since the 1020 first released.
So onto my question is there anyway I can transfer all of my SMS messages from the 1020 over to Android. My 1020 is staying with me as it's surplus to requirements and with it being a 64gb edition I'd like to use it as my personal phone.
So today i went back to stock htc sense software after running a test with different custom roms. Well now when i plug up to the usb android file transfer no longer opens. Im not sure why this is happening. Now i cant transfer photos an videos like i was once doing. Before kitkat 4.4.2 (at&t) it was working perfectly but now nothing opens up.
Just got a 5c, want to transfer my contacts from Android phone (HTC One V). Lots of info online, nothing works or explains how to get to stage 1. In my "People" icon on the HTC, the Export/Import option does not include the computer the phone is attached to - so how do I create a file that be transfer (.vcf I believe). I suspect if I could do this, I could send to iCloud and I'd be fine, but the instructions online - nowhere can I find any info on how to create the .vcf fileĀ
