Operating Systems OS X (Apple) USB File Transfer MacOS 10.6.5 to Android 2.2? Post 302524196 by Neo on Sunday 22nd of May 2011 07:36:13 AM

USB File Transfer MacOS 10.6.5 to Android 2.2?

I'm trying to get a MacBook Air (MBA) running 10.6.5 to recognize a Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.2) vis the USB interface for simple file transfers back and forth. Nothing works so far. I've tried many things! Smilie

I noticed when I connect my phone to the MBA, there is a message in system.log

Quote:
May 22 17:33:26 MBA pcscd[235]: Non-smartcard device launched pcscd [Vendor: 0X4E8, Product: 0X681C]
When I check for a driver for pcscd so I can get this working, I can't find one.

Any help possible on this? Anyone in the universe got MacOS to mount Android 2.2 as a mass storage device?

I have searched the net, nearly exhaustively, and so far, I can't find a workable solution; except to upgrade the phone to Android 3.0 and try the "Android File Transfer" utility.


Thanks!

PCSCD(8)							    PC/SC Lite								  PCSCD(8)

NAME
pcscd - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon SYNOPSIS
pcscd [options] OPTIONS
-a, --apdu log APDUs and SW using the debug method (see --debug). -c, --config file Specifies the file file as an alternate location for /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf. -f, --foreground Runs pcscd in the foreground and sends log messages to stderr instead of syslog(3). -d, --debug use the lowest log level. Any log message of this level or above will be sent to stderr or syslog(3) depending on the use of --fore- ground. --info use info log level. This is the default log level. --error use error log level. --critical use critical log level. The log levels are ordered as: debug < info < error < critical. Use a log level l will log this level and all the levels above it. -h, --help Displays information about the pcscd command line -v, --version Displays the program version number -H, --hotplug Ask pcscd to rescan the USB buses for added or removed readers and re-read the /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file to detect added or removed non-USB readers (serial or PCMCIA). DESCRIPTION
pcscd is the daemon program for pcsc-lite. It is a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers and smart cards and cryptographic tokens that are connected to the system. It allows applications to access smart cards and readers using the winscard API but without knowing details of the card or reader. pcscd coordinates the loading of drivers for card readers. SERIAL SMART CARD READER DRIVERS
Smart card reader drivers are placed in the /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers directory. Each driver is simply an .so file. pcscd locates the driver using the /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file. See the reader.conf(5) manual page for more information. Drivers are available at http://www.musclecard.com/drivers.html. USB SMART CARD READER DRIVERS
USB smart card reader drivers are located in /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers directory as a bundle. You shall not add a USB driver in /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file. FILES
/etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf : Reader configuration file /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.pid : process id of the running pcscd /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers : directory containing bundles for USB drivers SEE ALSO
