No Mass Storage/Media Transfer for OS X users...

Yesterday i purchased Nokia 808 PureView
I'm really happy to have this piece of pure technology everyday ( from now on) with me
But i am OS X user. And guess what? My 808 with Belle FP1 won't connect to my mac mini in mass storage or media transfer modes.
When i try to connect in mass storage phone becomes unresponsive ( removing battery is the only fix i know at the moment to reboot it ) Is there any other way i can reboot Nokia 808?
in media transfer nothing happens..
In windows 7 i did not experience this issues even though i launch it on the same mac
Screenshot with info about my system is attached.
P.S. I hope Media Transfer will work again on OS X soon
With Nokia N8, X7, 700 or 603 on Belle i did not have any troubles with mass storage mode on my mac mini.
Solved!

UPDATE:
After installing double twist... i did exactly as described in those steps to get playlists synced.
Opened Itunes + Doubletwist and then connected in mass storage. And disks immediately appeared.
Then i tried to connect the phone without Doubletwist + itunes launched.
Each time It tooks 10 to 15 seconds for disks to appear in the system. Phone laggs while connecting to mac. But disks do appear after some time.
Now from 5 attempts i have mass storage 5 times.
Thank you for your time For me issue is solved.
I hope that this topic will be useful for someone.

N97mini USB - difference between mass storage, ima...

I'm confused between the differnt USB modes. PC Suite (although being named wrong, it should be Ovi Suite) I understand. But what is mass storage, image transfer, Media transfer?

mass storage is the internal memo on your phone
image transfer is simply transferring images same as media as for videos/music
here is an x6 guide as to how to use similar to nokia n97

N95 Mass storage connection issue.

I have a strange problem with my N95. When I connect to my PC Vista cannot install the drivers for the mass storage/data transfer application. The drivers for PC suite, media player and image print work fine, but it appears that the drivers for Mass Storage are not on the CD.
I decided to upgrade my firmware to attempt to solve the problem, but when using Nokia Software Updater, the program stalls at the detecting device stage (step 2/3).
Can anyone help? As without the ability to connect the phone as a mass storage device, I cannot use Nokia Map Loader (again it will not detect my phone - despite PC suite detecting it fine)

i also have the same problem, but wonder why no one has replied a solution to this issue. as you describe exact same problem. if anything ive found with this phone so far, its a NIGHTMARE.
there was definatly a problem with the firmware when it was first shipped, after this was updated fixed some things, but the WLAN wouldnt work and needed alot of research online to fix it, nokia support to note didnt have a clue. The problem i had was due to setting the aerial to always on, and not power saving. Anyway if someone has an answer as to why the mass storage driver wont install and so i can put the nokia maps on the phome, it would be much appreciated.

Mass Storage/ Com port

I have an iphone 4s and i have troubles in syncing it with itunes. When i plug- in the usb cable all i see in my iphone is USB config and it asked me to choose mass storage or com port. I tried using mass storage to transfer apps from itunes in my iphone but when i open it, it doesn't work. When i tried com port it has some intallation problems so i can't use it. I don't know what seems to be the problem i tried using some of the troubleshooting techniques but none seems to work i still cannot sync my iphone to itunes. I dunno what to do i really wanted to transfer my apps in my iphone.

one and a half year has passed since TS' message but the problem still appears to be relevant. the thing is as simple as it only can be - this iPhone is fake. look at its screen, touch its buttons, check its edging. they are far from Apple perfect design. Devil is hiding in the detail. be careful!

8310 desktop manager won't see photos in mass storage mode to transfer to computer

Redownloaded desktop manager today. Wasn't working. Download complete - no roxio on my computer software - should it show up separately? Will sync. Tells me no photos to download. Mass storage mode is on. What am I doing wrong? Thanks - Launa

Dear Launa
Do these things for your problem solution
AS you said re downloading completed an no roxio i dam shore that you donwload desktop manager 5.0 or 5.1 that will never work. Just follow the tips below
1.     download latest software from the BB web site its free. the latest version is 6.1
2.     Install and connect your device with PC using USB or Bluetooth. I preffer Cable (USB)
3.     Run it go to My Videos, My Pictures which are appeared on the left hand side pan of the software screen.
4.     Sync what ever you want.
If that does not work then do these
1.     If your data is on the memory card (Mostly the pictures and videos by default on the memory card but some time it is by default the phone memeory. If on the memory card then
2.     unplug you BB ad plug your BB again this time when you connect with the pc a message will be displayed on your BB screen which ask you to start Mass storage or not.
3.    Start Mass storage and copy paste the pictures you want from BB to PC or PC to BB
4.    For memory card instead of pluging the cable you can use a Memory Card Reader. But Mass Storage will be prefferd coz in that way you are able to browse both memories PHONE and CARD but in memory card case you just able to view card details not phone.
5.   Some time the folders are hidden in your PC and on the card for that Unhide all by going
if wndows 7 or vista then
My COmputer - > Organize -> Organize Folder and Stettings -> Scroll down and locate folder view and click the radio Show HIdden files and Folders. After that just beneth the Show Hidden Files and Folder Radio three options are checked "Hide Extentions for known file type and Hide protected operaing system files (recomended), just uncheck all of these and click ok it will prompt and message when unchecking just do it. and you see all the hidden files on the card. YOu can do it b going on Control Panel
For XP Users
Go to My Computer -> Tools -> Folder Option and the options are same as above stated and same here also you can do it by control pannel
Just let me know if this will solve your problem
Thanks and Regards

Nokia C5-03 and Mac OSX Lion - Problems copying files to phone in Mass Storage mode

Whenever I try to load more than one file from my iMac (early 2008, OSX Lion 10.7.2) to my new Nokia C5-03 in Mass Storage mode —since the files are MP3s and Multimedia Transfer doesn’t seem to work at all, I keep on getting asked which transfer mode I want to activate for several times, I always choose Mass Storage, and then the first file starts copying, but when it ends with the first one I have to wait for ±30s only to get asked the same again and again until the second file starts copying, and so on.
It’s driving me crazy, I’ve tried setting in the USB connectivity options not to ask me for the mode when I connect the phone, but it doesn’t work either. It still goes very slow and a lot of “USB Mass Storage transfer mode activated” messages appear.
I’ve tested it with a friend’s C5-03 and it’s still the same, but when connecting them to a Windows computer everything goes great and fast. Has somebody had this problem before? Is there a solution to this? I don’t know if this is the correct board to post this, sorry if it’s not.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry if there are any mistakes or my English sounds weird, i’m Spanish.

your phone at the top of the window and click Remove this
device.
Then, select Tools > Add new device, and follow the

Control Panel (called Programs and Features in Microsoft
Windows 7):

Then, download and install the latest version of Nokia Ovi
I hope this helps.

How do I switch to mass storage mode with iPhone 3G

Trying to setup Garmin StreetPilot on my iPhone 3gs. The garmin website keeps asking me to put the unit in the mass storage mode or file transfer in order to register it. Any help would be appreicated..

You don't.
This is not and has never been a feature of any iphone.

USB Mass Storage Mode Missing :-(

I just upgraded? to the Samsung Galaxy S III today and have been very happy for the most part. However...
I am EXTREMELY disappointed that the only options to transfer files to the phone/SD Card are to use the MTP and Photo protocols. I always loved my Android phone...built off of open source software...and using open standards (things like USB Mass Storage). It is incredibly useful to be able to plug my phone into almost any PC, running any OS, and be able to transfer files to and fro.
Where is the rest of the uproar? When are we going to demand that one of the most useful features on our phone be put back. It was already there...it was already working...and has been dropped for lame, limited use protocols... Why? Who is getting paid off? Why?
Bring back USB Mass Storage Mode!!!!

It is always a good idea to do some research... I have followed your suggestion and found that Google has two reasons for using MTP instead of USB Mass Storage. They are:
1) “A main reason for using MTP rather than for example the USB mass-storage device class (MSC) is that the latter operates at the granularity of a mass storage device block (usually in practice, a FAT block), rather than at the logical file level. In other words, the USB mass storage class is designed to give a host computer undifferentiated access to bulk mass storage, such as compact flash, rather than to a file system, which might be safely shared with the target device (except for specific files which the host might be modifying/accessing). In practice, therefore, when a USB host computer has mounted an MSC partition, it assumes absolute control of the storage, which then may not be safely modified by the device without risk of data corruption until the host computer has severed the connection.“ -sombody from Google
--My Response - "I am totally OK with the SD card not being safe to be mounted. During the time I choose to be connected (only when transferring files)...I DO want the PC and not the phone to be in complete control of the SD card."
2) “MTP is a big improvement over USB mass storage — for devices with lots of internal memory, a manufacturer no longer needs to come up with some hard partition between the USB mass storage and internal storage. Instead, they are all in one partition, with MTP providing access to the directory of media files that would normally be available through USB mass storage. This means there is no longer a need for apps on SD card for such devices, because what used to be the ‘internal SD card’ is in the same partition as where applications are stored. The storage on your device can be used for either applications or media, depending on what you want to put on it. You aren’t stuck with how much space the manufacturer decided to leave for the two areas." -somebody else from Google
--My Response - "I am completely OK with the removable SD card being treated separately. That is EXACTLY what I want. I want to keep MY DATA separate and only on the removable SD card. And all of the stuff that I don't care about...that can be easily reinstalled (apps and such) on the internal memory. It is a good design. The phone has enough internal memory that I don't have any trouble with space for Apps (so not a conern at all)."
--My Overall Response - "The loss of flexibility, portability, and usefullness does NOT come close to justifying removal of the USB Mass Storage protocol. I am still VERY disappointed."
Where is the THUMBS DOWN... and INCORRECT ANSWER?

N95 Mass storage mode

how can i transfer my device to the "mass storage mode" to be able to download maps?
thank you

Hmm maybe you have used the Maps app. while you were connected via USB to your computer. Disconnect your phone from the pc (you may format your card if you don't have any important data on it, just for safe ), run the Map application once to create the folders as mentioned above. Connect your phone to your computer via USB Mass storage mode (described above), then use the Nokia Map Loader application. I couldn't download maps to my phone either, because it was connected to my computer all the while! You have to connect your phone to the computer just for the time you are downloading the maps. So I think that will be your problem too. I hope I could help.

How do I get Mass Storage Mode Support turned on my BB?

Okay I am sure there is a way to do this but I have not yet found it. under media card in the setup options I have the following:
Media Card support set to yes
Encryption Mode: Security Password and Device
Encrypt Media Files Yes
Mass Storage Mode Support: is off with a little red lock by it.
I really need to be able to change it to on, any ideas? My IT support team does not have a clue of how to turn it on.
thanks in advance Glenn Thomas..

If there is a lock icon next to it you can't enable mass storage mode. It means that the setting is forced via IT Policy. The IT Policy is pushed to every device that is connected to a BES server.

Mass Storage Mode

My Droid X2 O'Reilly manual says that by plugging my Droid into a Mac computer USB port I will get a trident icon on my menu bar. And, that upon clicking on the trident I will get a menu that includes a choice of Mass Storage Mode. Upon selecting MSM I will get a box on my screen allowing file transfers.
I get no trident. Does Mass Storage Mode exist?
There is a file called /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext/Contents/MacOS, but I cannot access it.

Look in the Settings for your phone for something like USB mode or Connect to PC mode and set it to Mas Storage. Or it may already be set to that. The Trident is the USB symbol.
You'd be better served posting to an Android forum.

HELP - Mass storage mode ??? 3G running 6.0?

Hi Folks. I am not new to Blackberry and have been a user for years. However, I have a problem and I hope someone can help me. I am trying to disable Mass Storage Mode on my recently upgraded to 6.0 Curve 3G. I click on "Options" then "device" then "storage" All it shows here is compression (checked), Media card support (checked) application storage free space, Media card storage total space, free space. that is ALL!!! THERE IS NO "enable mass storage" to check or uncheck on this page or on the dropdown menu from this page. I have spent about an hour reading online and trying to figure this out and can not find a solution. HOW DO I DISABLE mass storage mode on my Sprint Curve 3G in this new 6.0 bundle 1659?

It's stil there in BlackBerry device OS 6.0. The name is changed from 'Mass Storage Mode' to 'Media Card Support'.
From the Home screen of the smartphone, click
Options> Device> Storage> Media Card Support
