Hi,
I recently purchased a Fido/Rogers Galaxy S4. I have been trying to connect to kies via Kies Wifi in the settings. I have kies installed on my Mac (OSX 10.8.4) and but I have been unable to get my Galaxy S4 find my mac in Kies via Wifi. I have no problem with Kies Air and I can use my mac browser to view my Galaxy S4, but the Kies Via Wifi is not working.
I have Little snitch and Mac firewall enabled at the same time. Here is the set of actions I have already taken with no luck:
1) Disabled both Little Snitch and Fire Wall at the same time 9even aded rules to both firewall and little snitch to allow Kies)
2) Reinstalled Little Snitch
3) Restarted my Linksys Router
4) Changed Router
5) Restarted my Galaxy S4
6) Synced with USB once (in Kies) to see if it detects it
7) Called Samsung, the guy said it's not possible (meaning you need to use USB for kies), but I refused to believe that.
I really don't know what else to do. Someone please help me. Thank you!!!:good:

Samsung.de I9000S support page lists Kies for Mac (Beta) available for download. Took a bit longer than expected, I guess...
Took a spin, so far so good - works as expected. Just note that for some reason you must reboot your device before connecting to get it work reliably. Also if you connected to Kies via Parallels, reboot before connecting via native MacOS app.
The only issue is that under Firmware panel it says that "Firmware related features will be available in the official version of Samsung Kies for Mac". But this could be also simply due to the fact that my device already has the latest firmware and somebody mixed up information messages.

Do you have to reboot your phone every time ?
Every time after:
a) USB debugging has been enabled. It must be disabled to get Kies connected, but after you disable USB debugging, you must reboot phone to get Kies connection working
b) device was connected to Kies via Parallels. Tried the sequence - reboot -> connect via Parallels -> connect native Mac app. Kies via Parallels worked fine, native Kies complained that device is not responding. Rebooted phone and it connected to native Mac Kies...
Anyone familiar with an error trying to connect to Kies that says "cannot start the service on the device, please disconnect then reconnect"?
The tab doesnt go into "Kies mode".
Possibly something to do with the kernal?
uncheck USB debugging!

This is probably it right here ^ but also, K Rich, let us know what ROM and Kernel you're using. Thanks!
well, its not USB debugging. possibly starburst rom or pershoot kernal as the issue?
I had same problem.
The quick solution is factory reset.
Or you have to find a file with strange(illegal) name.
I suppose kies scan the files on tab during connection and because the illegal name found the connection process fail.
Happens everytime
It happens to me everytime. Easy way to check if Kies is broken is to try and enable it in settings "Wireless and networking". If you select Kies via Wifi and a dialog does not pop up then the Kies service is broken. Only way to fix it then for me is a factory reset which is a pain since I have to reinstall everything then.
Does anybody know of an easier fix. I am on a p7500 32Gb 3G and Wi-fi. Also as a side note: this kernel also does not seem to work with Plex streaming. No fix unless I root I think. This is the south african vodacom/fone galaxy 10.1

That same error message just started happening to me too. My SGS i9000m used to connect to Kies fine, but I just accepted a new Kies update and let it install, and now in Kies ver 2.0.2.11071_128 it gives me that error message.
Same thing just happened to my girlfriend, who has the identical phone to me. Once she accepted the recent Kies update, it doesn't see her phone.
But, Windows 7 (64-bit, for both of us) does see the phone.
And, the Kies Air app does work for me!
My phone is "lightly rooted" with Super One Click root. (As in, I haven't used Odin to put new ROM's on it, and I haven't messed with the phone much.)
Is there a way for me to get Android 2.3 onto it, through Kies or Kies Air?
Thanks guys. Sorry, I'm a noob.
hope it can help
I had the same problem with galaxy 2 and tab 8.9 (gt-p7300)
With galaxy 2 solved by shut down the phone (press power for 10 sec) with kies on and usb connected to comp.
With tab 8.9 the only way that worked for me is a factory reset, the same method of galaxy 2 was not working.
I hope it can help
reboot+usb connected -> fixed Kies

Thanks dude, the reboot of my galaxy s2 with usb connected made Kies detect my phone again.
I owe you a beer, maybe two.
Cheers,
Stefan.
I noticed that disabling pattern protection, allows Kies to recognize the tablet.
EDIT: not always, sorry
Even though this is an old thread, I would like to confirm that rebooting SGS 2 with USB connected, caused Kies to recognize my phone. Another method that works with limited success is changing the USB port on the PC to which the phone is connected.
Thanks.

I just got my S4 and I wanted to connect to Kies via a usb cable at work, no wifi available. So I installed KIES and connected it and I am getting the dreaded " Reconnect device in Samsung Kies (PC Mode)" and it tells me to disable usb debugging. I have verififed that PC debugging is off and reinstalled Kies but still I get the same message. My usb mode is MTP... Any suggestions? I have tried different usb ports as well with no luck. Is anyone using Kies?

Sorry I dont have a better answer but try another cable if you have one. Ive seen this be the root of the issue many times.

Thanks, the device currently comes up as a SAMSUNG SGH l537 I tried running the mini kies setup and the driver installation which oddly failed. Would you be able to give me the exact driver that yours is using. I cracked open that installer and the drivers are all there I should be able to force it to the right one.

only the first day i bought my gti 9505 lte i updated my device via kies. after i rooted my s4, i never use kies.
After connecting my device the first time to my laptop, kies recognized my phone automaticly.
If there is an update for Kies, the program should recognize your device and install the right drivers.
Kies is only installed on my laptop for sync my wife's galaxy note 2. Her phone runs stock 4.1.2.
So normally must kies install the right drivers.Even for your device.

I think having a 64bit OS in win7 might be part of the issue as well. I probably don't need kies at all but I thought it would be nice to add contacts via outlook. My contacts are all sorts of hosed up, I exported them to a csv from my atrix and imported them into outlook. The next step was to import them with Kies which I thought would be a no brainer. oh well, hopefully the kies wifi will work when i get home.

My laptop runs windows 7 64 bit too. I had no issue.
Maybe you find the solution on zedomax's site: http://androidroot.org/videos.php?cat=90&sort=most_recent&time=all_time&seo_cat_name=

All drivers where installed correctly ??? yesterday i got the same error and used w7 update to find the missing driver. Works fine now.
Still no luck, unfortunatly at work windows update is blocked so that is not an option here as far as the driver update.
