[Q] Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and Docs to Go PC Sync

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.

transfer itunes music from mac to lg g3?

hello. I've owned my g3 for a day and just trying to get everything organized. I'm having trouble trying to transfer my iTunes music to my g3. I've tried EVERYTHING. i dled the drivers, tried wondershare and android file transfer. it boils down to that my mac isn't recognizing an android device. I've enabled debugging mode and nothing. any suggestions?

here's a direct, and two round about ways of transferring your music: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-get-your-itunes-music-your-android

Just curious are you using the factory cable that came with it? Also have you tried restarting the phone while it's plugged into the Mac? My G3 wasn't recognized until I used the factory cable then the folder came up with HTC sync manager. Hope that helps
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

I have had this same problem before. What was causing it for me was Samsung kias program. I had to uninstall kias you can't just delete the app you have to run the uninstall.

yea I'm using the cable that came with the phone. i didn't try to restart the phone while plugged in but ill try that. every time i tried to use the android file transfer, i plugged in my phone and enable debugging and everything, the phone doesn't appear in the program. do i need to unmount/mount the phone or something?

iSyncr has worked extremely well for me. Recognizes the device right away and I can transfer my iTunes playlists directly.

i can't for the life of me get this to sync via usb... my usb works fine when charging and all. but when it comes to trying to sync or transfer files on my macbook, my device never shows up... so i had to sync my iTunes music via wifi... **sigh** i don't know why my device is never recognized

I hope someone has a solution. I followed these steps: Uninstalled Samsung Kies, downloaded the drivers from LG website, rebooted. Still, Android device file transfer did not recognize phone. Only way right now to connect phone with mac via USB is to use LG's own PCsuite. I have also an unlocked Moto X and Android device file transfer works flawless even before uninstalling Samsung Kies. I think there is something wrong with LG's drivers for the Mac.

Hey, I think it worth trying using a factory cable. Sometimes, it matters so much. And I gotta say some program are designed with too many features, and it could not be good on every one of them. So, you better try someting more professional, like TunesGo. It's specialized in transferring music from iTunes to Android phones, like LG G3.

[Q] Windows 8 Not Recognizing Phone when in "MTP" mode

I am running the June 19 build of a CyanogenMod based on version 11-20140620-Sultan-skyrocket (Android 4.4.4).
I was working to reorganize my music library and finally dump iTunes. I am experimenting with a new Music Player that requires a USB synch using MTP.
The main reason for the switch from iTunes is that a lot of my Music is Lossless encoded and it just takes up too much room on my phone. I could not find an iTunes synching solution that would transcode those large files to a smaller format during the synch process (unless I go with an iPod / iPhone).
When I switch my phone to MTP mode, the PC (Windows 8.1) does not recognize it. If I switch to Mass Storage (UMS) the phone shows up in the file explorer.
Any suggestions on how to get the MTP working would be appreciated.
Thanks

Go to device manager and look for the the icon with an exclamation mark, with your phone hooked up to usb. Right click on it and update software. Then go to where it says let me pick from a list..... Choose android composite adb interface. It'll ask you if your sure, just say yes.

Sorry for the slow reply and Thanks for the post. Unfortunately Windows would not let me update the driver in error in the Device Manager. It said it was an unrecognized USB Device and would not browse for additional drivers. I tried every way I could think of to "force" it.
Just to help determine what might be going on, I restored the ATT / Samsung ICS using CWM. Unfortunately I am having similar issues with that. Sometimes the USB connects and sometimes it is unrecognized. I tested the cables and my Windows 8.1 PC with my Galaxy 5 (stock ATT KITKAT) and everything seems to work fine. I guess the micro USB port on my phone must be going bad.
Thanks again

[Q] Connecting a MacBook

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:

Us Mac users have the same issue; the tablet is simply not recognized as a USB 3.0 device on my rMBP which is running Mavericks.

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!

G2 won't allow MTP on Mac

So this is very strange. When i use to plug my G2 into my mac and use Android File Transfer everything worked fine. Recently, I went to transfer some files over and I plugged my G2 into my macbook and it automatically chose the "PC Software" option and says "Installing PC Programs, check your computer." I go to select Media Sync (MTP) and it just automatically goes back to the PC software option. When i click Android file transfer it just tells me to plug in my USB. I have my drivers installed for my Mac and i've even tried it on my virtual terminal and the same thing keeps coming up. It's so annoying bc it use to work just fine.
Someone please help me

Have you tried a different USB cable?

Ya and same thing keeps happening. I am using the cable that came with the G2 when I got it. The same cable that I used when I use to be able to send stuff back and forth between android file transfer. It's very very strange
