looks like you have switched from iphone you just need to "copy" and "paste" the music in the storage and nothing else
the player will automatically detect it from anywhere in the phone.

I haven't switched from iPhone, been a htc user.
When i connect s6 to mac using usb then load up kies i get this pop up

An alternative is you can boot to Windows using Boot Camp. Connect your S6 via USB. Windows will recognize your S6 as a USB drive. Copy and paste all your music files to a folder on your S6. Your S6 will recognize the music files automatically. This worked for me and my macbook pro.

Use Android File Transfer for Mac OSX
https://www.android.com/filetransfer/

You mean on OS X, the phone does not show up as a normal starge device where you can copy your files?

Man, S6 is a Samsung device not HTC. i thought it was an IP 6s, lol. For android, the process is quite simple, just copy and paste music to the Music folder on your phone. Make sure the format is supported by Android, like MP3, WMV, etc... DRM protected music will not work on the device.

Samsung seems to be transitioning from KIES to Smartswitch. KIES does not support the most recent phones.

Could someone help me connect to my PC with my phone?

Hello all, Im having some trouble figuring this out. And I need a lil help if someone could. I would like to be able to file share between my computer and my phone, and even stream movies, music to my phone via wifi. I have a dsl modem with wifi built in, its connected to my laptop with a wire. So is there any thing I can do to achieve this? ES File manager has FTP and LAN clients built in, cant I use that somehow to connect to my computer and transfer stuff? Thanks for any help
You can always use DoubleTwist with AirSync or Winamp. They are the 2 apps that I know will allow this. Also, try Dropbox.

plug in the usb.. click disk drive
if you would like to transfer files wirelessly you have to install a media server on your pc.. i use serviio. then you have to find a program from the android store that will see the server on your pc from your phone and transfer files.

ok, i installed serviio and its running, i chose which files to share, now what do I do? do I have to go into network sharing center and give it a name and pass or something like that?
I also have estrong file explorer and file expert which is supposed to connect to servers also.
Well you can just use Dropbox, its an app and also a program for PC...just sign in, and anything you put in it, you can access, whenever, anywhere (by singing into the app of course) .

i9003 allshare

Hi,
Anyone got it working? I've tried many times, it can see the folders and files but when i click on any video files and add to playlist or right click/play, the player would load and just stay that way no video or nothing.
Thanks
Edit: android stock 2.21
This is strange, what are u using to share (ur server), windows (xp or vista or 7)?
or maybe another android phone?
Hi,
I am using my router's usb port with a harddrive attached. I tried using my windows 7 pc to watch the videos everything is fine but not my i9003. Tried to watch a video that is shared via my windows 7 pc on my i9003 doesn't work either, just loading the video and then nothing.
Thanks

i did transfer my pics and vids this way:
iphone4 to my EXTSD card using my PC
inserted extsd into GN 8010
Thanksrichie
ok
ok
Photos and vids
For photos use ES File Explorer . Click on the photo you wanna see and use gallery to open . If it does not work like that then push and HOLD the photo you wanna see , it will ask you what you want to view as , you answer " photo " than it will show you options to open , click on gallery and always . as for videos use DICE Player . Both apps are free . Hope that helps .

Only some (11)folders showing when connected to PC

Missing are access to program folders including torrent folders where i've download videos and music on my phone and now am unable to transfer to my pc. Unlike the s4 and s2 which I've previously own, I cant access a ton of folders in the Nexus 5, Is this by design or is there something wrong with my connection. If by design is there a way to bypass it.

[Q] Z3 file/ video transer help please

Hello
I'm trying to transfer video files to z3 through the bridge software on a macbook but it won't let me transfer certain video files due to support. (surely vlc player will play any video file so long as it's saved on the phone).
Is there a file manager that will just let me copy and paste any file I want, onto the phone?
Bit of a headache not having direct access to copy and pasting files as I see fit :/
If you have access to a windows pc , this can be done without any issues.
Damn, stuck with a macbook. At least it's good to know it's not a problem with a pc
Thank you

I use a program called android file transfer for mac which works 99% of the time. I use this because bridge for Mac is crap
I just bought a RavPower FileHub. (~$50) 6000mah bat (for phone charging too), 128gb micro sd slot, wireless n, usb2 port (works with ANY usb capable drive), as well as an ethernet port. It's basically a wireless NAS. Works with Mac too.
Just make sure you flash it with the correct update. I accidentally flashed the wrong one and had to return mine lol.
