Hello everyone!
I just purchased a SGT 7.0 Plus. I am trying to sync my PC with Docs to Go 3.0. Updated everything to current versions, checked DTG website, restarted devices, updated Kies, etc, etc. I keep getting 2 errors.
First error says it took to long to sync or there was an error.
Second error says they are already paired and I need to delete from devices.
I am able to use my SD as a mass storage device in explorer but I can't get this thing to sync. Not rooted yet but soon. Can anyone help me with this?
Trouble syncing GT 7.0 Plus and Docs-to-Go
I had the same problem trying to sync, and the same error messages. When I retried to connect, the Docs-to-Go desktop said the GT7+ was already connected, to remove the desktop profile on the Android, and reconnect. But it didn't show up anywhere on the GT7+!
Then I thought of a way to get my file to my laptop: I simply opened a window to the file and dragged it to my laptop! [My Computer --> GT-6210 --> Tablet --> documents (filename.doc)]
I found it best to use Samsung Kies in order to do this (I connect my GT7+ to my laptop using Kies and the supplied USB/power cable), or find some other way to connect the two computers. I suppose one could use a USB flashdrive with the connector, or remove the microSD card and read the file from that into another computer.
Dataviz technical support states that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 can not be synced to their desktop; I assume they didn't have a 7+ to test, but it's the same story. I'm going to keep on using Docs-To-Go on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, and dragging my files onto my laptop to edit and print. Hope this helps.
Actually got a reply back from dataviz. Said since Samsung has altered the mtp transfers it won't work. They are looking into it vmbut cannot guarantee a solution. Hopefully they do. I have a work around for now but the sync isbthe best part of docs to go. We will see in time I guess.

Okay, so I just bought a Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus Wifi. I have a 16gb microSD card in it (which I can write to thanks to another thread in this forum).
I looked up info on MTP and found that it works seamlessly with Windows, but needs an Android app for Mac. Okay. not optimal, but I can deal. I downloaded and installed "Android File Transfer" (v1.0.16..6656).
I plug my GT+ into my Mac. The tablet says it is initializing MTP, then switches to "USB Connected - MTP-Connected".
Sounds good, right?
When I launch the "Android File Transfer" on my Mac, I immediately get a pop up window saying "No Android device found. Please connect your Android Device with a USB cable to get started."
I've tried rebooting. I've tried different cables and different USB ports (although all of the above work with other devices).
What on earth am I doing wrong???

It does? Ooopps. I've been using it all this time without an app I need? I hate when that happens.
Seriously - at least for Snow Leopard, I'm not using any special apps and it works. I can't remember at the moment, but I might have had to tap the USB icon thing in the notification bar to activate something on the tablet (or maybe that was on my gingerbread phone... I can't remember now, and my mbp isn't available at the moment.)
Get rid of the excess stuff, plug it in... if you don't get the drives available on the mac, tap the USB symbol on the notification bar on the tablet and see if there's an option to turn it on or something...

Well, that certainly is strange. I'm running Lion (v10.7.2), so you'd think it would work there as well.
I tried tapping the USB symbol where it says "USB Connected / MTP-connected". No dice. It just goes away like it isn't really tappable.
You did make me think to look System Information -> Hardware -> USB to see if the system at least recognized the tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus). It does, as you can see by the attached screen cap (the "Android Phone" listed is my HTC EVO 3D, and yes, I've tried this without it being attached.).
Any other ideas?
I have an iMac with Lion and I could never get the Android Transfer App to work. But what does work is an app by Samsung called Kies. Do an app search on the Android Marketplace to find it. You'll find more reviews there, than at the Samsung website.
You will also need Mac version of the app as well. Should be at the Samsung site; probably under support, since you're now looking for a Mac app.
While it states that it will connect via Wi Fi, and I'm sure it will, I have my iMac hardwired, so I had to access my Tab7+ using USB. You'll have to try it to see if has the features you are looking for.
G.B.
And remember, talking dogs always lie.
Use the USB ports on the Mac directly
I had this same problem with the MTP-connection message on my Gingerbread Android device (Samsung Galaxy IIS Epic Touch 4G, ...yes, it is a long name! I know.) with no acknowledgement of connection on my Mac Mini running OSX Lion 10.7.4. The curious part was that my Macbook Pro also running Lion was seeing it with no problems at all using the same USB cable.
So finally it hit me, I tried connecting the USB cable directly to the USB ports on the back of the Mac Mini and problem solved! I got on my Mac Desktop two new drives, one for the internal memory and the other one for the microSD card! (Both with read/write permission)
I must add that I was trying it originally through a Belkin powered USB 2.0 hub (7 ports), but apparently something is not working right for the Mac trying to connect to the Android device through the USB hub.
I hope this helps some of you out there!
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Wi-Fi (no Infrared!!). I downloaded Kies onto my Windowsxp PC but I can't get a connection.
I went through the checklist.
I'm using Sandboxie so that might be the problem. I'm so reluctant to install yet another massive waste of space that this is - more bloatware like ITunes. That's why I use Sandboxie.
Or is there a lighter alternative that I can also use when I need to update firmware and do other system routines?
I rooted it successfully.
(Why did I buy a tablet without a USB port or HDMI???)
Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I did look at the suggested related threads and many other forums.
Ultimately, I am trying to root my son's Galaxy Tab 2 7" (wifi only) but I am falling at the first hurdle. When I plug the phone via USB to the laptop it claims the USB has malfunctioned and the device cannot be recognised, however, all my USB ports work perfectly. I have also installed the latest Samsung Drivers on the laptop (running Windows 8).
When I go to the Settings menu of the tab itself, there is NO USB connection settings at all, in any sub-menu and so I can't even check if it is set up to allow transfer. I have factory wiped in the hope that some updates removed this option, as I do recall (perhaps wrongly) that I was able to connect when we first purchased the device.
Is this a common issue with the Tab 2, or is it an issue with my set-up. If already known is there a solution, or is he doomed to walk stock for all eternity?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
If I'm not mistaken you actually want download mode, not usb, in order to flash a custom recovery via Odin. I think it's power plus vol down while plugging the phone to computer (phone is off).

I've been rooted/installed Cyanogenmod nightly builds from last December to every day, but I can't connect to my computer with MTP for Galaxy Tab 2 after rooted.
Since from the last time, I unmounted my SD card storage from my tablet to the card reader after plugged into her laptop and it won't move/copy those files due for device crashes to corrupt all of those files, then I destroyed the card reader to the trash basket. (Because the Chinese products are garbage and it keeps importing from other countries.)
But, can you please solve yet?
Uhmm... Anyone?
Oh, never mind and it works for me.
I've installed Software Data Cable (Pro) from Google Play in my Galaxy Tab 2, and then I transferred those files to FileZilla in my computer.
I pulled this quotation out of the USB 3.0 forum post since the topic there was an Asus computer.
I believe this post is from May:

My P900 is not recognized AT ALL by either of my MacBooks...one runs Mountain Lion, the other runs Mavericks.
The other day, I spent an hour on the phone with Samsung, including Remote Management but they were unable to fix the problem (in fact, thanks to this forum, I knew a few things they didn't). A quick summary of what they tried:
- Downloaded Kies...didn't work. BUT... I remembered reading about issues with the OEM Samsung Cable and Mac, so I tried using my Blackberry cable. That connected the P900 to Kies BUT it still did not show in Finder.
- Remote Management downloaded Android File Transfer. It did not work (He said it works 80-90% of the time).
- His recommendation: Backup P900 using Kies; Restore to factory settings; Try to connect again with OEM cable. If that fails, take P900 and Mac to Authorized Samsung Service Center in my city. Show them the problem and have the tablet repaired.
Any thoughts on this advice? Can anyone successfully connect the P900 to Mac using the OEM cable and have it appear in Finder? What about with other cables?
The only solution that I had found was using a USB 2.0 cable. I think I either implied or mentioned that before, not sure since the quote is taken out of context. Kies will connect to my note pro using a 2.0 cable and I can't recall but I think android file transfer will not (I don't have it installed anymore for that reason I think).

Sorry about taking your quotation out of context. It made perfect sense to me as I read it but I understand what you mean.
The Kies connection is useless to me since it only transfers media files. I need to be able to transfer all types of files back and forth.
So the question I am really asking:
Is it possible to connect the Note Pro to a MacBook so that it appears in "Finder"?
Generally, isn't that what is supposed to happen when something is connected by cable? I am a teacher and I have connected dozens of different student devices to my MacBook. I plug in the cable, the device appears in "Finder" and then I copy the files from the student's device to my MacBook.
If the Note Pro cannot connect to Finder, do you have any idea why? My understanding is that it works correctly with Windows. Is that correct? Also that other Samsung devices work with Mac. What about other devices running KitKat? To me, if this is an issue with the Note Pro and the Mac it is simply unacceptable. And worse is the advice I received from Samsung on the phone telling me to do a factory reset and then to take my Note Pro in to have in repaired. I wonder what they would do to try to repair it? Maybe I should find out?

Boils down to lack of support in the drivers for the Note Pro. It doesn't seem like a priority to Samsung to fix it either.
You can do what you need to do with Kies.
When you open Kies and then connect the Note Pro via a USB 2.0 cable it will show up on the upper left pane of Kies.
On the right hand pane (main window) a summary of the device will be shown along with the device name and bars that indicate the state of internal and external storage (microsd if inserted).
On the right of those status bars for storage is a folder icon. Click that.
A popup window will appear and you may interact with the storage location of the device as you wish (just no root access). Simply drag and drop files or folders from a finder window into that MTPBrowser window.
Hope this helps.

More than helps. It is an ideal solution. I am quite relieved I asked the question here and you kindly replied before I followed Samsung's advice. Many thanks!
