MTP is just horrible, it fails with the transfer everytime when I move large files and I also tried leaving the screen on. Is there any other way to transfer files or at least to fix this?
You could try via smb over wifi (a.k.a. windows shared folders) and a file manager on the phone that can connect to it

Do you have WiFi at home? You could try to use a file manager app such as Es File Explorer to send all your files over wireless.

I fixed it with an internet enabled file browser. Still... it's pretty stupid.

Not entirely true. You can push/pull files to/from the device with adb, while connected via USB.

I want to use i-tunes with my nexus S.
Already installed i-tunes agent.
When I plug in the device via USB, it says "USB connected" with a green Android display however, it does not give me the option to mount.
I dragged down the USB icon on the top and tapped "USB connected", and nothing happens after.
Thoughts?
Btw, I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.4
Thanks
Up
C'mon nobody uses i-tunes? My music is all messed up with drag and drop.
Your problem has nothing to do with iTunes.
Are you using any custom firmware on your device? Rom, kernel etc?
Have you tried reinstalling your device drivers on your PC?

My suggestion would be to download mp3tag and tag all your music correctly so it then displays correctly on your phone.

I doubt it's a problem with drivers on my PC.
Not using any custom firmware, kernel etc...phone is 100% unlocked. Did not buy it off a carrier.
So when you press the USB Connected notification, you should see an android guy and a button that says mount as storage. Do you mean that you don't see this?

Exactly. I don't see the message: "Select Mount if you want to copy files between your computer and your SD card."

I would suggest you begin eliminating variables.
Try on another PC. Try with another USB cable. Try another phone on with your cable and your PC. Etc.
Also it cannot hurt to download and install PDA Net on your PC. That is the easiest way to know you have the most recent drivers from Samsung installed.
i tune's?

I have no idea how to do this. When I connect the phone to my (ubuntu) pc, I can transfer files taken with the camera to the pc, but I want to put some wallpapers on the phone from my pc. The phone in MTP mode won't show up on my computer, but PTP mode is no problem. Do I need Nexus Media Importer (from the play store) to achieve this? Stumped.

Thanks, but I get "This app is incompatible with your device."
If you have a router, I suggest using Airdroid or WiFi File Transfer. Both can be downloaded from Google Play Store.
follow post #5 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537119
the part at the top of this post about "add to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules the following code"
and then see if your phone is detected in mtp mode
I use the Wifi router and ES File Explorer. I have LAN on right side and Cloud (google drive) on left side. If i would like copy something from pc, i get it to public folder and copy from here to my Moto G. Make scan for find the Pc in ES.
To enable file transfer between my phone and computer I used this method. I am running Ubuntu 12.04. However, the same guide would not work for my other laptop that runs Ubuntu 10.04. After attempting several different methodsI still can't get it to work. If anyone has been successful getting MTP support on Ubuntu 10.04 please post your method here, it would be greatly appreciated.
cheers :cyclops:

+1 for this. You just need to make sure you made the folder on the PC side shareable to your network.
This also allows easy copy and paste between any cloud folders/PC/tablet/phone/whatever you need without wires.

Try adb: in cmd type: adb backup -apk -all -noshared -system or adb pull sdcard /sdcard/
FTP all the way

You can use ES File Explorer or find another app and maybe connect a CIFS (Windows File Sharing) share or NFS or even FTP. If you can set up a ftp server on your Mac it should work.

What exactly did you try?
Set the usb connection as mtp?
enable usb debugging?
Tried another cable?
If you're just wanting to transfer files, you can use a wifi transfer app where you access the phone through a web browser once the wifi app is started on the phone.
If you got your phone locked with a swipe, pin or password, you need to unlock it first
