Q- How do I Mount the Xoom on a Mac?

So the title says it all... Mac see's nothing. Windows 7 finds it automatically.

You have to install the 'Android File Transfer' android.com/filetransfer

that works! thanks. too bad double twist wont work

Does anyone know if filetransfer is going to be the method going forward, or will we get a way to mount the internal storage? Getting music and video on the device using a mounted drive makes everything more convenient.

After thinking about it it for a few minutes, I potentially understand why it doesn't work. If we are able to mount the drive, then the OS wouldn't have access to it. We really need the sd card support

Doubletwist works fine for me. That's how I transferred my music.

I should say doubletwist on Mac doesn't work. And that's where my music library is.

Or you can also use DropBox, but it uses the cloud.

You can't... Install Parallel's and load a Windows Virtual Machine. Samsung says its coming... SOMEDAY...

all i want is a wired file transfer i dont give a crapola about mounting it

This is a good workaround.. I have a Mac so how you do the first part on a PC you'll need to find a solution.
1. Rip the movie with Handbrake to your preferred resolution
2. Download a App from the market called Software Data Cable
3. Download Filezilla
The app gives you all the info needed to connect over wi-fi and once its set up transfer any file to any directory.. Its sweet

download the Samsung keis software for mac

I'm having the same issue. I'm on a PC. My PC gives me a confirmation tone when the device is plugged up to the USB port, but no drive letter for the device comes up. How do I go about transferring documents to my Tablet from my PC?
I've already downloaded & installed the USB drivers from Samsung's site:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/GT-P7510MAYXAB

I got it working now. I just happen to see a notification that USB Debugging was enabled.
After disabling it, it's working as it should.

Yeah, disabling USB debugging let me connect via USB. You might have to unplug and then replug in your galaxy tab.

Try ES File Explorer. It should work with FTP and CIFS (Windows File Sharing Shares) servers.

Thank you for the help but It doesn't work tried it earlier.
Please any other ideas?
Thank you.!
P.s- I've a Belkin router.
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app

I have messed with the Belkin routers a bit. They use NAS, and I think in E-File explorer you should select LAN and scan for the server.

Try root File Explorer,but u must root ur device first

Yeah tried it but failed it says no servers found.! So I don't know what do I do. Can you explain me a bit?
Thank you
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app

act accordingly;
in ES file explorer tap on the cell pic on the top left side then select Network and go to LAN. Tap on New and in the opened window in the Server field enter the ip address of the PC connected to network through which you want to connect to network, and also you should enter your username and password of the PC too. click OK and you should be fine using created access point.

Yeah I tried that but the HDD is connected to the router no the pc!

First dumb suggestion: make sure phone is connected to the right wifi/network.
Less dumb question: what model router is it? and are you sure it supports samba and the file system you have the drive formatted to? and make sure it shows up on a PC.
Reason i make these suggestions:
I have a Technicolor TG582n, which has a USB port for doing just this, sadly, however, it only supports FAT32, so if the drive is formatted in anything else such as EXT3 or NTFS, it simply wont work. Another step i have to take is to set up the router to use the drive, by going to the webgui and initialising it (setting it to managed)
Another thing would be to check is if it's not actually sharing the drive over a different protocol such as DLNA/UPnP, in which case, you want an app such as UPNPlay from the market to view the share on your router. though mine also supports SMB so it shows up as TECHNICOLOR\ on my Root Explorer and in the network computers on the computer.
Hope this helps you get to the bottom of it.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Native WiFi transfer

Dose Samsung have anything built it so we can transfer files from pc to phone via wifi?
Looking at airdroid but u need to use a web address (or ip) to login, on the sony z1 it was all built it so u could add the sd/internal storage on your pc (come up like a hard drive on your lappy)
Cheers guys hope that all makes sense

Buying Essential. Related non-Essential Question

Can anyone suggest an app that will allow me to copy my SD data from my old phone onto the Essential over the air? I thought Google's File Go would work, but it seems to restrict which files I can transfer directly, phone to phone. i need access to files beyond the 6 categories File Go offers. I'd like to stay away from any kind of wiring or PC use. Thanks.

Dropbox seems to be a solution. I still would appreciate additional input. Thanks.

You can take an ADB backup... Which should copy everything on device to computer...
If you are rooted... You can do it via wireless ADB

I'm using an app called HandShaker...work fine for me...

X-plore file explorer will transfer over wifi sharing.

You might want to check into an app called superbeam. It uses wifi to transfer as well and you can use it afterward to transfer files from your PC to your phone and from your phone to PC.
