How to Access your Samsung Phone on Mac

Samsung Phone And Macbook

Accessing your phone device on a Mac computer is quite different from the regular windows PC.
This is because; there is no direct way for your device, even your Samsung phone, to communicate with a Mac.

Android devices will generally communicate better with a PC. But this doesn’t mean that it is impossible.

In this article we would cover ways in which you can access your Samsung phone on your Mac.

With the Use of Android File Transfer

Android file transfer is used to transfer files from an android to a Mac, so it is very useful when trying to access your files on the Mac.

Follow these steps to get it done:

(a) Download Android File Transfer.

(b) Unlock your Android device.

(c) Connect your Android device to your Mac via USB. This will automatically launch Android File Transfer or you can launch it manually if it didn’t.

(d) Tap Allow on your Android device when prompted.

(e) The type of connection you are using may ask you to “Choose to transfer media files” or whatever variation of that phrase your Android device says.

(f) Open a Finder window on your Mac.

(g) Drag and drop files from Finder to Android File Transfer. Folders can be created in Android File Transfer that’ll show up on your device.

You can also make use of your external storage by choosing to drop files in the memory card right in Android File Transfer.

Transfer of files between your Android device and your Mac can be done the same way — just drag from Android File Transfer to a Finder window or your desktop.

The thing about Android file transfer is that it’s quite a hit and miss. Sometimes it simply won’t recognize your device.

Always make sure you unlock your device before connecting to your Mac.

This is a sure way of connecting your Android and Apple products. If your phone isn’t recognized, just disconnect it from your Mac and connect it again.

The Use of Samsung Smart Switch Application

Samsung smart switch application is an application built by Samsung to ensure you are able to transfer data from your Samsung to your PC.

It is one of the easiest ways a Samsung device can be recognized on a MAC.

The following contains step by step procedure by which you can access this:

Step 1: Verify if your Mac is compatible with Smart Switch application

Your Mac needs to meet some minimum requirements in order for Smart Switch app to work.
Below are the minimum requirements:

• Operating System: Mac OS X® 10.6 or later.
• CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz or higher.
• RAM: 1GB or higher.
• Screen resolution: 1280 x 800.
• Android file transfer application already installed on your computer.

Step 2: Ensure that you have Android File Transfer application installed in your Mac

If you already installed Android File Transfer application, we want you to uninstall, then reinstall it to make sure everything goes right.

To reinstall Android File Transfer application, follow these steps:

3. Drag Android File Transfer to Applications folder.

Step 3: Use Smart Switch to transfer files from your Samsung Galaxy S7 to Mac

If your Mac meets all the requirements above, you can then install the Smart Switch application.

Once you’ve finished installing Smart Switch, follow the steps below in order to transfer your files to your Mac:

1. Connect your Galaxy S7 device to your Mac via USB cable.

2. Open Smart Switch application in your Mac.

3. If it says that your phone is locked, simply unlock the screen of your Galaxy S7.

4. Wait for Smart Switch to recognize that the phone has been unlocked. This can take a few moments.

5. Click on the name of your phone (Samsung Galaxy S7).

6. Click on the memory where your files are located.

7. A screen should open showing you the folders in the selected storage device. Choose Card to open folders in the SD card.

8. If you want to move a folder or file to your Mac, simply highlight it then drag it to the folder location you want.

Step 4: Wipe your Mac and reinstall clean Mac OS

If Smart Switch won’t work as expected after installation, then you may have to wipe your computer and reinstall a clean version of its operating system

Conclusion

If you apply the above steps, you will be able to access your Samsung device on Mac. Hope you found this article helpful.

For the past 12 years, I was in a committed relationship. It was fun and exciting in the beginning. But it quickly turned into codependency — the kind that leaves you feeling empty when you're apart. I wanted to end things, but I wasn't sure if I could or if it was possible. Everything I owned was somehow connected to this union, and I knew if I did cut all ties, nothing would ever be the same. The anxiety that had built up inside of me about ditching my iPhone for an Android made me realize I had to leave it for good.

So, for a couple of months, I planned my exit. I did research and I discussed it with friends and family — they all thought it was a silly thing to do, but I stood my ground. The one person that I thought would be supportive actually wasn’t supportive at all. My husband warned me, saying things like 'if you do this, we won't be able to communicate the same way ever again!' His annoying response gave me that final push I needed. I was tired of living in fear. I was sick of having this attachment that never seemed to work out. I honestly had had enough of being let down. So I switched from my iPhone 7 to a brand new Samsung Galaxy S10.

I know what you're thinking: 'Why couldn't you just upgrade to an iPhone X?' The answer is simple. I'd been upgrading since 2007, and it had worn me down. The thought of changing phones every two years was driving me mad. Yes, Samsung also launches new versions every couple of years, but Samsung users that I spoke to were very pleased with their older models.

The final straw

The issues I had with my iPhone 7 were really the last straw. Phone calls were cutting out, the charging port wasn't working, and then the audio quit altogether. On those last days of my iPhone — which now resides in a drawer along with my iPhone 5 and iPhone 3 — I couldn't make phone calls unless I was using CarPlay or my Apple Watch.

My husband is pretty patient with troubleshooting, and he didn't want me to switch, but I didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars to get it fixed. Then we found out that I wasn't the only one having issues with the iPhone 7.

In May 2019, iPhone7 users filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple for an audio defect called “loop disease.” Apple Insider reports that it's an 'issue that causes audio problems on impacted handsets and can ultimately render the device inoperable.' The claim alleges that Apple knew about the Audio Integrated Circuit (IC) defect but didn't do anything about it. Furthermore, it was the customer's responsibility to fix it. For years I’ve been a loyal Apple user, and for what? Why did I care so much about remaining loyal to a brand that seemingly didn’t care about keeping me as a consumer? After this clarity, I became fixated on getting an Android.

Several tech lists ranked the Samsung Galaxy S10 the No. 1 phone, while the Huawei P30 Pro came in at No. 2, and Apple iPhone XR at No. 3. MarketWatch also reported earlier this year that more people were making the switch from iPhone to Android. At least now I didn’t feel so alone.

Goodbye, Siri. Hello, Bixby.

As a first-time Android user, I had no idea what to expect. I opened the box. Turned it on and waited. Within seconds the phone lit up, and a thrill came over me. I don't know if it was the Samsung or the fact that I didn't have my iPhone anymore, but I hadn't experienced this kind of excitement in years.

The first thing I wanted to do was to try out the camera. I had heard from strangers (most of the people in my circle use iPhones) that the best part of the Samsung Galaxy S10 was the camera. So I took several pictures and was truly blown away by the quality of the images. My old iPhone camera did not compare.

I then downloaded my usual apps using Google Play (instead of the Apple App Store): Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, WhatsApp, banking apps, travel apps, etc. All the apps worked flawlessly on my new Samsung. So far, so good.

It took a little getting used to Bixby, Samsung's virtual assistant, but the overall premise is the same as Siri. 'Hi, Bixby, where’s the closest Starbucks?' Or 'Hi, Bixby, can I use Samsung Galaxy S10 with CarPlay?' Unfortunately, the answer to that one was “no.” I will most likely have to get Android Auto to work on my new phone.

The central aspect where there were some compatibility issues was with texting. Some messages were delivered. Others were not. This issue is, by far, one of the biggest ways Apple tries to trap you into using iPhones forever. The controversy about green bubble vs. blue bubble is exceptionally strong, albeit completely ridiculous. My switch to Android made my friends livid now that our chats were green instead of blue.

And it isn't just annoying from an aesthetic angle. Alex Chalekian, chief executive officer of Lake Avenue Financial in Pasadena, Calif., told MarketWatch, 'I don't like that [Apple] hijack your number when using the iMessage system, and you don't realize that until you switch out to Android and realize your texts don't come through because everything filters through Apple's servers.'

When I called Samsung support, they informed me that my contacts should not save my phone number under iMessage. I had no idea that my contact information would now forever be tied in some way or another to Apple, therefore, creating a disconnect of sorts with other Apple users. Friends had to delete my contact information altogether and create a new contact for me. Luckily, this handy breakdown on how to make that transition makes it a little easier.

I realized that for those texts not coming through, I could just use WhatsApp for all my texting purposes. WhatsApp solved all my connectivity with previous text messaging issues. Plus, I sort of liked that some people couldn't reach me. It's kind of liberating.

I faced other compatibility issues including, of course, not being able to sync my Apple Watch with my new phone — and that was just the start.

Apple’s mega status as a brand relies, in part, on the idea that their devices can only coexist with other Apple products. If you stray at all, your tech life could be thrown off completely. But, I wasn’t going to allow that to deter me from switching. I mostly use Apple Watch for working out purposes and not answering calls or GPS, so I could still use my Apple Watch. I can't use iTunes, but Spotify works just as well. So, while I did break up with my iPhone, I still use Apple products, including my MacBook Air.

I know, eventually, I will have to upgrade my new Samsung, but if I go at least three years before I move on, I'll know I made the right decision. Besides, just because I’m looking for long-term commitment, that doesn’t mean I want forever.
