No! This will not work with a Samsung S3 with Jelly Bean OS or even the older OS. Just download Samsung Kies and forget about it. I wish it did work because I always like generic solutions over proprietary. It’s Samsung’s fault not Apple’s. Still love my Samnsung S3!

Hah…I was literally browsing out of boredom only to find EXACTLY the answer to a question that I needed an answer to for my GF’s Galaxy S III. Well, almost. I’m actually not only trying to get her photos off her Android device, but move them to the 16GB microSD card that I just installed for her the other day. Being unfamiliar with Android as an OS, I did make her SD card the destination for all future pics/videos that she likes to shoot, but she’s still running out of main memory.

We try to always point out the full path when possible, because sometimes we talk about apps that are in less obvious places, whether it’s the /Applications/Utilities/ folder or ones that are buried within the System folders. Spotlight and Launchpad are definitely two fast and easy ways to launch apps though!

Don’t be so shortsighted. There is no telling what OS people are using, only that it’s OSX.
I know plenty of systems still on 10.4 and even more on 10.5, and these are not going to have Launchpad.

OSXDaily have posted a solution for everybody.

What @CRB describes ends up being a lot like Photo Stream for Mac and iOS, all of your pictures will sync themselves between Dropbox on Android and Dropbox on the Mac or PC. Windows users have it the easiest though, they can access the Android camera like it’s a folder in My Computer with Plug and Play.

By the way for anyone in the market, the Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3 are two really good phones that work very well with the Mac without a fuss.

Or the easiest way: get a Dropbox account and use the photo upload feature of Dropbox for Android (or iOS, for that matter) to sync all your photos with your Dropbox account.

Forget all that, use Spotlight to launch applications instead. Covers all versions of OS X and it’s the fastest.

When will OSXDaily finally stop telling its readers to search for an application in the Applications folder? We don’t live in the ’90s anymore, it’s 2013. We don’t start an application from the Finder anymore, we’ve been using Launchpad for a long time now and even before Launchpad we had the Applications stack in our Dock.
