I have Android File Transfer installed (which works some of the time with my Nexus 4), I have USB debugging active, but my new N7 isn't recognized by my Macbook Pro 17" 2009. It charges, but doesn't show up as a drive, nor does Android File Transfer recognize it.
How can I transfer files over USB?
I use the Android File Transfer utility on my MacBook Air.
Works just fine..

Yeah, AFT works fine with my Nexus 4 but not my Nexus 7 (2013). Frustrating.
Dual boot. Jk lol
Aft works on my n4, haven't tried with my n7 yet

The application does not work for me in the MBP
Not sure why. I'm running it on OS X Lion and it works fine when I plug in my GNex.
Edit: You gotta make sure you open it at least once on your own. It will prompt you with the "This is an application from the Internet. Sure you want to open?" Dialogue. Click yes, and after that, it should open any time you plug the phone in.
Make sure on your phone that USB debugging is not checked when you want to use file transfer.

I have a GNexus and use an iMac as my primary computer at home and have been using the paid app iSyncr WiFi to sync music playlists from iTunes to my phone without any issues.
I've used iSyncr and its WiFi add-on component for quite some time now with multiple Android phones and have been very happy with it.
One thing to note right now is that the regular iSync app (which does its syncing via USB cable) is not compatible with ICS, so you'll have to settle for doing your syncing via WiFi. I've actually been in contact with the app dev and he's working on making iSyncr compatible but that version of the app is not yet available.

Sorry it's not clear: does iSyncr work with the GNex or not?

The dev for iSyncr updated the app in the market today and now both iSyncr and its WiFi add-on component are supposed to work with ICS.

im running cm10 and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to mount my internal or external sd card to my mac. Kies just says "connecting" but never actually connects when in MPT mode and nothing when in PTP mode.. wtf do i have to do?! please help me ASAP!
Try airdroid from the app store.

Edit:maybe it's not working since your on nonstock Rom, try using android manager

are you running moutain lion? if you are, apple has suddenly stopped allowing the s3 from being mounted, but on lion it will work
I've also needed help with this on my unrooted S3 and my iMac. They don't even see each other.
I think my MBP is on 10.6.... Gave up and used airdroid.
I am using Opensuse 11.4 for work and wondering if it is possible to connect my note 2 to the PC via cable.
I want to transfer file to and from the phone.
I installed the mtp tools but the PC still cannot recognize the phone.
You have to install gMTP do a search on Google for it. You might have to compile from source depending on what distro your running. Works great for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
You could just install the Airdroid app on the phone and transfer files through any browser.
Thats what I do on my Mac for example.
Nice thing about gMTP is that you don't have to worry about slow upload speeds and getting flagged by some savy network admin that watches there local network. Plus it's faster when your transferring large files etc.

Thanks for the reply, guys. I'll try gmtp. I have airandroid but it is too slow sometimes.
Hi, as I am not 100% satisified with the amount of storage the new nexus 7 tablet provides (lack of SD card slot),I have been trying to watch movies from a USB through an OTG adapter. How can I watch the movies or what apps do I need in order to be able to watch them?
Thanks, Stuart McD
Get an USB OTG cable and Stickmount or Nexus Media Importer. Just plug and open one of the apps. (Stickmount doesn't work for me, I don't know why)

I know this is overkill for what you are trying to do but it may interest some. I got a Western Digital 2 terabyte Live network hard drive and put all of my movies and TV shows on it. It is ethernet only so I have it plugged into my router. They have an android app that let's you access it from anywhere you have Internet. You can stream videos from it or download them. You can also upload to it from any where. It works fantastic.

Can you verify that Nexus Media Importer works for you?
I'm using Nexus Media Importer along with the MX player to watch videos on my Nexus 7. It works fine.

Do you need to download the video to the nexus 7 or can you watch it from the USB?
The videos are kept on the usb stick, no need to download to your Nexus.

Thanks a lot guys, I bought OTG disk explorer pro and it works great.
Hello,
I'm facing an issue when I mount an external flash drive to my nexus 7 using a simple USB OTG adapter. When i plug the external memory in, the flash drive's LED indicator lights up, which means that it's powered by the tablet, but the device itself doesn't react whatsoever and when browsing with ES I don't see any external drive. What am i supposed to do? My nexus 7 is entirely stock and no root, so i don't void the warranty.

ES won't see the drive - you need to use a 3rd party app like Nexus Media Importer to access it.
Yeah, I got total commander plus a paid usb otg plugin for it and now I can use it normally. Turns out Nexus devices can't boot external flash drives on their own.

When my USB port wasn't broken I didn't need any additional apps, I just plugged my USB drive into my OTG cable then into my device and it was instantly recognized. If that doesn't work for you try usinh Chainfire's Stickmount.
You could try OTG helper but that requires root access...
If the light is coming on you should be able to use it. You are just going to need a 3rd party app such as "file explorer".
I can understand the worries of voiding your warranty but you may need root access if you are going to trouble shoot. If things go bad you can always unroot your tablet and take it back to factory settings. WuGFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit has a nice feature on his windows program that does that automatically for you!
