- MBP 15" + iPhone 5S
I have a friend with 13" MBP with Lion (10.7.5) and a Samsung Galaxy touchscreen phone.
He plugs his phone into a USB socket and his MBP does absolutely nothing !!!, i have made sure that the sidebar in Finder has ALL the boxes ticked for displaying ALL devices in the sidebar.
I have also plugged my iPhone into his LapTop, using the same USB socket and that opens up "Image Capture" straightaway which is what he would like to happen with his Samsung Phone, he simply has some Photos he wants to Download to his Lap Top !.
Although i did notice that my iPhone isnt shown in the Finder Sidebar either ????, but then perhaps my iPhone doesnt show up in Finder on my MBP either LOL BUT It does show up in iTunes though.
I would very much like an answer to my question above, but in the interim period i am going to lend him my Micro SD card Adapter, i have shown him how to remove his Samsung phone Micro SD memory card so he should then be able to see his pictures when plugging my Adaptor into his MBP's SD Card socket !. I HOPE !
PS:- i have to own up and admit, i have posted this question on THE main Apple Support Forum, but one of there most respected members posted such a stupid answer to this question, that in despair i have posted it here as well, to hopefully get a second opinion.
But please dont answer with :- "Make sure the Samsung is turned on and if necessary, enter the passcode on the device". !!!
