Why Does My Device Not Show When I Click On iSyncr Desktop?

Before you plug in your Android device, is the screen on and unlocked?

After you connect your device over USB, select Transfer Files (MTP)



Pull down and select the notification. Have you selected Transfer Files (MTP) as selected the "connection type"? It should look like one of the above examples.

Yes
There's no notification

Are you using Windows or Mac?

Please run the Samsung Kies Uninstaller

Please run the Samsung Kies Uninstaller. Samsung Kies blocks communication with Android devices on Macs and only the official uninstaller will stop this.

Do you have Android File Transfer installed on your Mac?

Please install Android File Transfer and see if it works with your device.

Does Android File Transfer work with your device?

Android File Transfer is probably blocking iSyncr.

  1. Disconnect your device
  2. Open Finder
  3. Drag Android File Transfer to the trash
  4. Reboot your Mac
  5. Try syncing again with iSyncr

Hmmm. Kies is uninstalled and neither iSyncr nor Android File Transfer can detect your device.

Make sure other Android programs are uninstalled, such as Plex, HTC Sync Manager or LG PC Suite. If they are, please uninstall them and try again. Otherwise, please try and use a USB Debugging connection.

If you open "My Computer", does your device show up?

It looks like we may not have the appropriate drivers installed for this device.

Please contact your device manufacturer, they should help you find and install the appropriate drivers for your device. If you're using Windows XP with an Android 4.0 or later device, update Windows Media Player, then try again.

If you open your device, can you see the files and modify them in Windows Explorer?

Try to add a folder to your device by right clicking and selecting "New Folder"

Try connecting over USB Debugging

On most devices, you can go to "Settings - Developer Options - USB Debugging". If these options do not exist, they may need to be "unlocked" - To unlock the dev options menu, go to "Settings - About Device" and scroll down to the "Build Number". Tap on your "Build Number" five times, and you should see a toast notification pop up saying "Developer mode has been enabled." USB Debugging can allow be a security threat, only use when connecting over iSyncr Desktop.
