I'm wondering why I still need Kies and debugging off to mount my tab via USB? Shouldn't a rooted android device allow me access to the file structure w/o the goofy kies program?

I don't understand what you're saying or asking. A rooted device means you have SU access to the whole file system, enabling custom ROMS and software modifications. That has nothing to do with whether you can mount to a computer via USB or not.
By default, at the moment initially, the Tab 10.1 does not mount as a USB device on Mac computers. This has nothing to do with being rooted or not. If you have a Windows computer, you don't have to use the Kies software.
***Samsung has just released an update to their Kies Beta software for Mac with 10.1 Tab support.***

O hai!
I'm trying to update my friends samsung galaxy spica.
When i connect the phone to the computer, it wont connect the device to kies.
It just says Connecting the device, please wait.
It's been like that for 15minutes. Anyone else who have had the same problem and knows how to fix it?
I'm using windows 7.

As far as i know Kies only supports Android 2.x. For upgrading download Samsung New PC Studio, latest version supports this phone (upgrade only). You may have to install it in Vista compatibility mode. But I don't think it'll find an upgrade yet.
New PC Studio will support your phone, lastest version is 1.5.x.x. Works fine with android 1.5 and 1.6
don't forget some antivirus blocked connection..
so the better way is disable your antivirus and use KIES (must android 2.1)
I've got android 2.x and i've got the same problem but i don't care because i prefere upgrade by Odin.

Hi,i have the same problem. When i try to connect the Spica to the NPS or Kies he doesn't recognize the phone memory,just the mass storage.
I have Eclair.
How can i make to recognize the phone memory?
And the other question is : How can i put my Spica to recovery mode to install some themes.
When connecting your spica with kies you may need to set your spica to enable debugging mode. Settings> applications> development> check usb debugging.. Your phone will now be recognize by kies..
On mass storage, notice that when you connect your phone to the computer via usb you see an icon on the notification area? Open the notification and tap on usb. Tap on mount on a window that will appear.. That should connect ur memory card..

THANK YOU This has been a BIG HELP to me
I was having the same problem of connectivity ,but it was for ipod . I waited and waited and it did no connect. I referred a software shop but the problem was with the connecting usb or the window. I suggest you to check for these two first. Then move on the other options. These sets don't have much problems with their software or hardware. It is just the eternal support which some times is missing for them.
For me it was impossible to update my 1.5 phone with kies ore samsung new pc studio. I also tried kies mini.
I did work on this for two days without success.
The final solution was using odin 4.3 with a firmware downloaded from
h t t p://www.samfirmware.com/
I was also updating from 1.6 (stock) to 2.1 (stock) with ODIN.
I do not recommend using samsung (crap) software.
Like the title says, my IO tab isn't being seen by either my Mac or windows machines.
I have adb w sdk set up on both, IO device drivers on both and Samsung Kies and Kies mini respectively installed on both.
What am I missing or doing wrong? I've followed all guides to the Letter and even uninstalled all required programs and everything associated and then started everything from scratch. Someone please help.

Did you instal the drivers???? Keep in mind that the device is still 2 weeks from offical release. Have you rooted??
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
Yes I did, I installed them on both machines and still no luck. Haven't been able to root. I already have the files I need on the tab too so I just need to get into recovery so that I can root.

I'm having the same exact issue. It won't work on my Mac or on Windows 7. I've tried drivers on Win 7, and I used the android file transfer tool on my mac.
Still nothing.....
Seems way to obvious but have you enabled usb debugging?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I had to do the following:
1) Enable USB Debugging
2) Install Samsung Kies (samsung (dot) com/ca/kies)
3) Install the Samsung USB Driver. (developer (dot) samsung (dot) com/googleio)
Once I did those three things, I plugged in and it detected the device, installed the hardware using the correct drivers, and the device showed up in 'adb devices'.
anyone try the Kies for Mac beta?
Edit: This is confirmed to work http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/GT-P7510UWYXAR

can anyone provide any assistance?
Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.
USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)
Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...
forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.

Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.
im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.
I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.
Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????

Hi all,
I read many posts all over the web about workarounds to make KIES work on MacOS X Lion, or having to run the Windows version under Parallel, but it just works fine natively.
Went to samsung.com, and got redirected to samsung.com/es (I live in Spain). Then in the search bar I asked for KIES, clicked on the KIES icon that came back as an answer, and was prompted to download the Windows or Mac version.
Downloaded the Mac version (KiesMac_1-1.2.0.12012_6_9.dmg), installed it with all default settings, ran it, it went through a first update, then restarted the application and it went through another update. Restarted and it is now KIES version 1.3.0.12023_9.
I connected my Note to a USB port and it recognized it fine... including telling me firmware version of my note etc.
Anyways maybe this is already known to all Mac users... or maybe it helps!?
Cheers.
KIES works fine but Mac OS can't recognize SS Note as an USB storage yet
Yes it can, if u activate the usb storage option in settings.

I downloaded the mac Kies (long time ago) to my iMac and both SGSII and Note works ok,
Doesn't work for me. Just sits there saying "Connect a Device" even after I have connected my Note. No such problem with the same Mac / Cable / USB Port / Note settings using Parallels and Kies under Windows. YMMV.
I'm user if Mac too... Try to use kies to update my note, is a big sh**... My lion can't recognized my phone, use kies air.... Now I have root my device, no needed kies to update my roms

I use VMWare Fusion to run a virtual machine of Windows 7 within OSX. It makes dealing with the phone a lot easier, because switching back and forth between OSX and 7 is as easy as literally making a trackpad gesture. I haven't gotten around to installing Kies on the windows side but the phone acts amazingly as a USB storage device on windows so I have yet to really need to.
I never trusted OSX to get along with Android in the first place, so I would be surprised if it DID work fine rather than if it didn't, when it comes to using an Android phone with OSX.
I am using ICS on GT-P7500 and i tried to transfer data and connect to pc but i can't see my device on my computer.
Can Anyone Help?
What version ROM/OS are you using (standard Honeycomb vs specialised ROM, and HC 3.1, 3.2 or ICS), and have you installed the latest drivers, as supplied by Samsung? There is a difference in Honeycomb 3.1 (USB disk) and 3.2 (MTP only) access on your computer (I assume Windows here).
I've always had problems transferring files through USB. Actually, I rooted my tab looking for a solution. But the problem is with my machine. For some reason the drivers for MTP where not working correctly. I tried reinstalling them to no avail. So I just started transferring files via ftp... It's slow, but it's the only solution for me unless I reinstall Windows 7...
