You can even perform long-press and swipe gestures.Īnother bonus feature is the ability to share clipboards between devices. I despise Chrome so downloaded Dolphin and use that as default browser now.These extra icons allow you to, in order from top to bottom, toggle mouse and keyboard sharing, keep this screen on top, rotate your display, take a screenshot, and view files stored on your Galaxy.Ĭontrolling the on-screen representation of your Galaxy with your mouse is simple-clicking the left mouse button behaves exactly as a touch event on your Galaxy. On the S5 - its a for sure good device! Has more features than my S3 ever did and runs super smooth and fast too! Everything except this USB issue AND the fact that it only has Chrome is good to go.

**** i even downloaded Kies, the Android Switch, another one from Samsung site and since the **** phone wouldn't show up on Macbook nothing could be done that way! Thank goodness for Bluetooth my fellow Mac users!
Just wanted to let you all know that when the USB issues come up you do in fact have the BT option to fall back on to transfer anything to the S5 off any Mac. Therefore, I just transferred 200 songs to the device itself but even 16 GB has a lot of room for all of them! Of course it took awhile but I actually got them all moved over and they play no problem on phone and also thru my truck which has BT too. Then while messing around with device I just turned on Bluetooth and BAM it synced up and started transferring the playlist to the device -however it never gave me the option to select the SD card at all. Took one members advice and made a playlist for the "S5" and sat here reading this thread trying to figure it all out.

Just got a S5 and have spent DAYS messing around with it and when trying to figure out how to get iTunes music onto it I also could not get my Macbook Pro to find it in ANY USB setting! It showed up for like 3 minutes and then drops off altogether.

So until someone comes up with a utility or patch so that an MTP device can be mounted on the desktop of a Mac, you'll either a) have to use a VM and do your management on the "PC side" of your machine, or b) manually sync using drag/drop and Kies as described above. The reason that MTP "works" on the PC and lets you treat the SD card like a USB drive is that, in Windows, MTP support is built-in, and it just "works." Not so on the Mac. Us that like a Finder window & drag/drop files & folders between your Mac and the SD card: If you click the little file folder icon as illustrated above, a new dialog box opens up. In the main window on the right, you'll see lots of information about your phone, including memory in use (both internal & SD card): Once your phone is detected, click to select your phone in the nav bar on the left.

I found it listed here, where the USB Mass Storage problem is discussed:Īgree with brobbins above - here's another way to get to Kies for Mac and PC:Ĭonnect your GS5 to your Mac via USB3 cable & make sure phone screen is unlocked. I found a link to a copy that works on my iMac, but it's not from the official site:
Other Droid phones I've used mounted the drives as you would expect.įor me, the Samsung will not do this on a Mac.Īfter a quick search for KIES, I see Samsung is no longer supporting this for Mac. I've tried installing it several times, and it never finds the S5. Android File Transfer does not work for me.
The ONLY way I can get my Mac to see my S5 is to use the KIES app on the Mac. I've talked to Samsung support about it, they will eventually admit it if pressed. There isn't USB Mass Storage support on the Samsung phones. I see a lot of advice here based on other phones, but my experience with Samsung S-series + iMac via USB connection is that the Mac WILL NOT see the disks as a drive in Finder.
