A simple, but not as convenient, alternative is AirDroid. It's less convenient because you have to establish a connection every time, but the user interface is much nicer than an FTP client.

Read your message in that thread. How is Kies working for you on ML (10.8)? It won't even install on mine. I have allowed third-party installs by the way.I thought most of this is covered in here mods. (merger ???)

Hi,
I had the same issue, I upgraded from 4S to S3, on the same day I upgraded my Macbook Air to Mountain Lion.
OSx will not mount the S3 because of the file system on the phone is different, so you cant sync this way.
But samsung have made an app to solve this. Its called Easy Phone Sync. Its in the Google play store. You also need to download the app for mac from the easyphonesync website (google it)
Run it on your phone, then on the Mac, and it mounts the phone, and syncs Itunes. It will even copy pics & contacts from your Iphone back up storted on the mac.
Only limitation, it will not copy DRM protected tracks & video to your phone. But itunes songs are now DRM free.
I did all this last night, worked a treat. Hope it helps.

I tried the Play Store and scroll all the way but the Application with the above name is just not there unless may be it has another name.

Nope. Galaxy S3 does not support USB Mass Storage (Seriously Samsung?).

I loaded kies on my macbook pro that did not have it loaded when I had 10.7
I used pacifist.app to get it to load. (trial version)
CharlesSoft — software you always wished someone would write
right click on the install kies file and choose pacifist.app
when in pacifist select the kies top file then click install.
BUT kies just sits there saying connecting with a spinning sync arrow
I tried to reload the driver by opening kies and going to the tools drop down and then selecting driver.
Still nothing
I will edit my other post to reflect that one should have kies loaded prior to upgrading to 10.8, that does work for me.
You may want to try these to see if it works for you, but I doubt it, but still worth a try, a note that I do not have itunes properly configured on my macbook as I dont want it on there, so maybe it would work for you?
let us know
best of luck
