I just got an LG Optimus G from my carrier, and was extremely excited for it! I finished recovering my documents and such, and then I went to load my music and pictures... But my Mac isn't recognizing it!
I checked my phone, and it was set to just USB Charging
. That explains it... I tried the LG Software option, but couldn't find it on their website for Mac OSX. I emailed LG Support, and they said their software does not run on OSX. OK, I got another 3 options to try...
USB Tethering wouldn't transfer files... Maybe Media Sync (MTP)? It says that I can transfer files or synchronize with Windows Media Player. I select that, but nothing appears on my computer, and iTunes doesn't read it. Finally, I tried the Camera (PTP) option; this brought up my iPhoto asking me to download pictures. It doesn't let me add files to the phone though.
So my question is, how can I transfer files easily (preferably via a sync) between my phone and my OSX 10.6 MacBook Pro?
EDIT: I received an email reply back after they told me they do not have their LG software available for a Mac. They told me to try Salling Software to do the sync, along with instructions. However, my phone is not listed (actually, no LG phones are listed) as being compatible with the software. I followed LG's instructions, but it did not help (instructions below)
EDIT 2: A friend suggested Winamp for Mac. I'm just trying to get it to properly import all my media, then I will post the results
System Settings->Storage->Menu->USB Computer Connection
. This will mount is as a pen drive like device.
