Why won't my iMac or airbook (using 10.6.8) recongnise my Samsung galaxy S3 mini when I connect it via USB?

I'm trying to connect a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini to my iMac (using 10.6.8).
I used to be able to do this easily (fairly) with a Galaxy S2, but now neither my iMac nor my Airbook recongnise with S3 mini when I plug it in.
IS there something in either the phone or computer settings I need to change to make this happen?
Help appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

  I have to have 2 service providers to make sure I have coverage everywhere possible.  I have a S3 on Verizon and went to go get my 2nd phone at ATT, it was the day before the iPhone 5 came out.  I was tempted, don't get me wrong.  I have had an iPhone in the past.  But for me, I'm tech savvy, rely on my devices so much given the amount of travel that I do and the amount of info that I need to have with me on a  regular basis, both nationally and internationally, and went for the Red GS3 on ATT.  It was close, but the removable memory, able to have 80gb of memory with 16 built in and a 64gb card on ATT/96gb on the Verizon model with 32g built in and a 64gb card vs 64gb max on the I5, great camera on both, and running andoid system (which i really prefer over iOS on my phone, and I have an iMac, iPad2 x3, and a MBP13", so usually and apple girl).  Otherwise, spec wise, it's fairly a draw.  Yes, people copy, and lawsuits are everywhere, including against the I5 by HTC for the 4g guts, its a personal preference.
Since my initial issues with syncing I have had no problems since on either phone once I had the settings right to sync.  Good Luck!
