I am also looking for a solution to sync my SGS with mac osx. It seams that there are only commercial solutions at the moment. One of them is:

Kind regards

is doubletwist not available on the mac?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Doubletwist is available on the Mac but I find it very slow.
If you want iPhoto to recognize it you need to enable USB debugging in the settings so that the Mac recognises your phone as a mass storage device.
There's no solution for syncing address book and calendar other than the missing sync or using google calendar and gmail.
There's no solution for backing up and upgrading your phone as yet.

You sure? You should just need to go to settings, about phone, usb settings, ask onconnection/mass storage..

You should but it doesn't work. You need to enable USB debugging otherwise it doesn't work.

Heh, I told someone to only sync at work due to similar issues. Maybe not the answer most of you want to hear, but as long as it helps 1 person think outside the box it's worth a post, right?

That is not true, the iPhoto opens when I put galaxy to usb port and wait a moment so the memorycard/usb has connected. (never used usb debugging) My iPhoto popups automaticly after a while. and my two memorycard (internel/external) shown in desktop I use MBP mid 2009. iCal I have sync with my google account so sync between my iCal/Google calender/phone works perfect. The contact i havent try to sync with my mac because i dont need that. For the calender sync you dont need any app. Just set the setting right and it works.
If you want to sync everything and use wifi or something you should try some software for that, for example the software in previous post.

You're lucky. It doesn't work on mine. I use an iMac with Snow Leopard and everything is up to date. I've never been able to get the cards to mount without debugging enabled.

I use salling sync to sync music and video and photos

A Mac is a PC... Now go hide in your cave .
As far as what I do with syncing my Mac:
Mail.app gets my mail from GMail and through a few IMAP-servers that support the IDLE extension (basically push for standard IMAP). As long as you don't use POP3 your mail will be in sync including read/replied flags
iCal.app calendars are synced through Google
Address Book.app contacts are synced through Google
When using Mass Storage mode Aperture picks up the device just fine here and lets me add anything I need to my library so for anyone who has issues with that I'd suggest doing a factory / data reset and get a recent firmware version.
For music right now I just use the Finder. iTunes is set to organise and maintain my library which means it's all neatly organised, bagged and tagged and just requires me to drop some folders on the Galaxy S. It's not ideal, I'd rather see the device in iTunes and drag-n-drop from there...
There are two ways however that could be helpful:
TunesSync: sync iTunes with Android (paid)
iTunes2android: command-line utility over usb/adb to accomplish the same (free)

Guys, can we stop with the whole Mac vs. Windows argument. The OP is here requesting help with using his SGS with a Mac, and this kind of argument doesn't really belong here, and distracts from the OP getting his issue resolved.

Printer setup

Not sure if this was the right place. But here's what I want to do.
I have many android devices which I would like to use Google Cloud Print on.
Here are the details of my printer: It's a WiFi printer (So it connects to my wireless router).
My raspberry pi's usb ports are used up. Instead of connecting my printer via USB. I want to connect to it over the local network and then install my pi as a Google cloud print server.
My questions are:
1. What software would I need to Install to install the printer driver over local network rather than traditional USB?
2. My printer isn't going to be on 24/7. If I send a print job and the printer is off. Can I come home and switch the printer on to be greeted with my queued prints from earlier?
Thanks.

Why do you need to set up a server? You print to the google cloud print with the info you set up there for your printer. Data never even has to touch the pi
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

The printer itself does not support Google Cloud Print.
It does not support any services like it either. The purpose of the printers WiFi is to make a connection with local computers. An alternative to USB only.
What I want to do is to use my pi to "add" these internet features to my printer.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I did something similar...
I've used cups on the Pi to add the printer to the Pi. The Pi runs chrome in headless mode - I've found some instructions how to set it up like an cloud print server.
I'd have to look it up how I set it up again - if I find enough free time this week I'll look for it

I tried it out. It runs ok but it lags some

Of course its gonna lag some. Its mirroring the screen. The note 3 does the same. Cool feature but needs some tuning

Any help?

Can I move pictures and music to and from my Gear?

Hello Gear board --
I have a beautiful new Galaxy Gear running Tizen, and I realized there seems to be no way to simply transfer photos onto, or off of, my watch.
The app Fancy Pictures indeed takes great pictures, but they don't sync to my phone.
I haven't seen any information, anywhere, about transferring pictures from a phone to a Gear, or from a computer to a Gear...
Am I missing something here? Should I have tried plugging the watch in, perhaps?

Yes, you can plug your watch into the charge cradle and then plug the usb into the computer. Your computer should install the driver it needs and you can browse in the file manager for the gear and view the folders just like if you plug your phone into the computer.

Okay, I didn't have any such luck with that last night. I tried enabling USB debugging in Settings> About too.
I was resisting downloading the entire Tizen wearable SDK just to get my hands on SDB (Smart Debug Bridge), which is apparently an analog to Android's ADB.

I just searched for it, but someone here on xda shared just the sdb.exe here is the link I found. http://www.mediafire.com/download/140vftuwb9jiwgf/sdb.exe
that should be all you need and it's all I have installed too.

I've tried two laptops, one with Windows 8.1 Update and one with Windows 8.1... while SDB runs, it doesn't exactly install, and "sdb devices" from a command prompt doesn't yield anything.
Have you installed the Tizen wearable SDK for some reason or another on your computer? Anything in Device Manager?

maybe run kies so it will install the tizen usb drivers for samsung? I have win7 and it acts like any other android device, as I can see the folders like an SD card on the gear. Once you get past that hurdle, you should be fine. I will try to think of other ideas and update the post.

Question Simple way to transfer file from phone to watch?

Hi. This should be straight forward, but I'm not finding it so using Oneplus 7pro phone and 5 watch. Right now I change the file name to ".mp3" and use the galaxy app to move the file, then change the name back on the watch. What's a better way?
Solved: MyWear File Explorer on both devices.

Via adb wifi "push" comannd
