How to connect to Mountain Lion Mac pc - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Mac PC cannot recognise my S2. I have installed MTP programming for Mac as suggested by Nexus 7 and recognises my Nexus 7 correctly. Do I need to something for connecting my S2 to Mac? Thanks!

You shouldn't need MTP or anything for the i9100.
Just plug it in and enable USB Storage through the notification bar. It will be on your desktop and Finder.
Unless you're running ICS or Jelly Bean?

Android File Transfer
This is a mini program that allows you to see the phone as a true mass memory. Once downloaded and installed, the program will auto start at the moment in which connecting your smartphone (disable USB debug settings from your smartphone if not the saw).
You will then have access to all the files in read-write, and you can move, delete, and manage your internal archive with simplicity and directness.

download Android File Transfer
AirDroid
Another solution is Airdroid, program that if you do not know you will learn to love. Unlike the previous solution, with this program we'll use the Wi-Fi at home and therefore we do not need to connect the USB cable.
The program creates a connection between the smartphone and our network and we can access control interface from any computer is present in the same network. You can simply open a web page to the address web.airdroid.com, enter the code that appears on your smartphone or Tablet and the game is done.
You will have access to an enormous number of information, you can manage your device with a lot of features and, among other things, you will have access to the files, you can send and copy items and manage all aspects of your Android. Of course, the moving files will be slower than the usb because it will exploit the wi-fi network.
The advantage is certainly the absence of cables and the many other options available.
AirDroid works obviously also with Windows and Linux.

http://mitglied.lycos.de/ld86/Pics/Screen022.png
last week i had a windows xp laptop here and i could access its shares!
but every other windows pc is able to access my vista pc's shares.
do you know, what is going on?
are you able to access you vista network shares with your windows mobile 6 ppc?
i use the ppc in my signature.
edit: is this problem prophet specific or should i post it in an other subforum?
have you turned off windows firewall on pc? lame...
Either you're not on the same workgroup, or your shares are not properly set up.
Try to launch network configuration wizard (or whatever it is named on Vista).
Try multiple options if you're not sure.
Then if it still doesn't work (but it should), try to set your shares with simple file sharing (although I don't know if Vista still has that).
If it's still not doing the job, try to set IP addresses manually, and try to access the share via the IP.
Restart both devices between each change to make sure there is no cache/netbios issue.

[Q] Q: Transferring files to/from laptop to/from mk808 connected drives

Hi,
At the moment I'm using an mk 808 as media player with two usb drives attached (and xbmc).
I was planning on installing a samba server on the mk808 as well (sanba filesharing), but that seemed to be rather slow (probably because the connection to the router isn't that great). The other samba or ftp servers I tried weren't faster or couldn't read/write to the usb drives.
Of course just plugging in the usb drives in the laptop is a good option, but I was trying to avoid having to disconnect them from the mk808.
I have also been thinking about just connecting the mk808 to the laptop, but then it only shows the sdcard folder. Is it possible to mount the usb-drives in a subfolder of the sdcard and then being able to acces them through usb-connected mk808? I tried changing the mountpoint in vold.fstab, but that didn't seem to affect anything (still mounting to the same spot)
So, any thoughts?
Thanks

The MK808 JB 4.1.1 is rooted, so we can install superSU and busybox from PLAY store.
Install AIRDroid that all you need to do.
my MK 808 transfer files to PC or NB Via Wifi.
open AirDroid File tool : check the system /mnt/usb_storage/USB_DISK0
that is your external USB drive. mine is NTFS file syatem.
then you can upload/download files to/from PC .
PS:connect the USB drive to OTG port.

USB Mass Storage support missing

I'd love to find a way to add a USB Mass Storage option when connecting the Lenovo TB-8703F to PC, to make the MicroSD accessible like a USB stick or hard drive. Has anyone successfully done it? Using MTP is far from ideal for my purposes.
You mean like this? If yes, I did nothing. I don't even have the drivers installed, only what windows installs on it's own.

That is MTP. The drive cannot be seen by apps that require writing to a 'drive letter' with MTP. And copying and reading files is worse since it has to cache the file being read first. And I've had heaps of instances where the latest files wouldn't be visible with MTP unless the Android device was rebooted first. MTP is a total pain (for the way I work). Only advantage to me is making some of the internal storage accessible but I save everything important to MicroSD.
I can't see why USB Mass Storage is omitted since all the budget Lenovo tablets I have had experience with have it. They cost half what this tablet does. And I can even connect 2 tablets together and share files with nothing more complex than a $1 USB OTG cable from ebay connected to a Micro USB cable when in USB Mass Storage mode. All without a spyware brain-damaging wifi sharing app. I can do so much with USB Mass Storage.
Also MTP doesn't play well with older OSs without drivers. Less of an issue now than it once was but still not fun when you need it.
I have tried UMS Enabler https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-universal-mass-storage-enabler-beta-t3240097 in my desperation but didn't have much luck.

Android (LG G6) won't connect as MTP to Macos (as ADB it does)

Hello everyone,
a) My guess is, it might a problem with the drivers. I installed some LG programes earlier, already deinstalled it... But, Maybe you know better how to renew the Android drivers on the Mac and get rid off the stuff which probably blocks me from having the file transfer function again.
b) do you know at least any other (free) Programe that uses ADB to connect the phone to Mac?
c) something I have not thought of... You tell me
Once it was possible to connect the phone to my Mac and transfer files with Android File Transfer. Now it is not. I tried several other programmes, none can connect to the phone via MTP (for file transfer).
When I chose not "data transfer" but "photo transfer" as an option in the phone, the Photo app on Mac opens and I could trnasfer photos - so it works!
But I need file transfer....
I have and try several cables. Phone works without any problems with windows.
The only thing works now for transfering files via cable is MacDroid, which can connect the phone via ADB insetad of MTP. --> Problem: it costs money (and why should it now work in MTP in the first place).
The phone generally is found by the computer:

I use as OS "El Capitan". On the phone Android 9.0. Phone LG G6
Thank you!
PS: The phone even asks me if I want the Mac to authorize:

PS2: Macdroid works with the phone even in MTP Mode when Debugging is deactivated. So what is this... I do not get it.
Guys, girls, anybody, please give me a hint, think with me, tell me where to look for answers ...
Finally... I knew it was some ****ty LG Software... I installed all the LG Software I could find on their website. Plus some dirver they provided. And THIS time, I deinstalled them using their own tool. Now it works again...
I think I had installed something earlier and then just deleted it or something.
So in short, it was necessary do install and UNINSTALL the LG drivers from their website.

Hi guys absolutely pulling my hair out with this phone. I just want to USB tether my internet and I'm getting "CDC NCM No driver found" in Windows, and when I check Device Manager it just says Other -> CDC NCM with an exclamation mark. Searching Google has been incredibly useless on this issue. I've never had issues with any other phone like this before. Anyone know how to solve this? Thanks.
What version of windows? Did you try more than one computer or the PDF instructions listed here? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/an...m-devices-arenamp39t-assigned-usbncm-dri.html

I haven't tried it on my Windows 10 Home PC but the issue is getting it on Windows 7. I followed these instructions but I don't see USBNcm Host Device in the update drivers list for Windows 7 and I don't know how to get it to appear.
have you tried the google usb driver?
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

Install the drivers that nutzfreelance linked. Have to disable driver signature verification on Windows for it to work. Mine were slightly out of date and stopped working on one of the phone updates. You also have to select USB tethering in two places:
Settings -> Network -> Hotspot
Dropdown menu: change "charging via USB" to USB tethering
It's probably been this way since Android 11 maybe? Pretty sure on 10 you didn't have to do step 2. Could be wrong though, haven't needed to tether for a couple of years.
