Problem 1: How to transfer files from a Galaxy S7 to Mac
Hi. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge with a 32GB micro SD card. The card is almost full and thus I would like to backup the contents of the card to my Mac and then transfer those back onto a new, larger micro SD card. However, when attempting to connect over USB (the cable supplied originally with the S7 Edge), the Mac is unable to connect. “Android File Transfer” tells me “Could not connect to device” and “Try reconnecting or restarting your device.”This persists after reconnection of the USB cable, and after power cycling the S7 device. I’ve also confirmed that when I pull down the ‘window shade’ on the S7, there is an update stating “Android System” and it’s set to “File Transfer.”
Note I’ve tried other settings and those aren’t working either. I’ve also tried ‘Coolmuster Android Assistant for Mac’ and that doesn’t seem to work either. Several google searches leave me still without any solution to this problem. I’m hoping you may have some insight? I would really appreciate any suggestions you might have. — Chris.Ambrozic
Solution: Hi Chris. Computers like PCs or Macs generally are equipped with a suite of USB software called drivers to allow them to recognize connections from another device like an Android smartphone. In most cases, these USB drivers are developed by the operating system manufacturers such as Microsoft for Windows-based PCs and Apple for Macs. These drivers, just like any software or operating system sometimes need updates. So, if your Mac has not been updated lately and there’s a pending update for its Mac OS, make sure to install it first before attempting to connect your S7 to it again. If your Mac already runs that latest available update at this time, you can do further troubleshooting by following the steps below. How to use Smart Switch for to transfer files from Samsung to Mac OS
The easiest way to ensure that your Mac recognizes your Galaxy S7 is by using the Samsung Smart Switch application. It’s an official app from Samsung designed to allow you to seamlessly transfer data between your Samsung device and your computer.
Step 1: Verify if your Mac is compatible with Smart Switch application
Your Mac needs to meet some minimum requirements in order for Smart Switch app to work. Below are the minimum requirements:

Step 4: Wipe your Mac and reinstall clean Mac OS

If your Mac remains problematic and won’t allow you to install Smart Switch for some reason, or if Smart Switch won’t work as expected after installing it, consider wiping your computer and reinstalling a clean version of its operating system.
Problem 2: Galaxy S7 edge keeps freezing, stops responding when in normal mode
Hey! My Samsung S7 edge suddenly started to freeze. Once it froze, it didn’t respond to anything. Not even the “power button + volume down button” or “power button + volume up + home button.”I went to the closest technician, and they backed up my data, restored firmware and gave my phone back. Once i got home, deleted almost every app on the phone, since i thought it was somehow related to the crashing. The phone somehow still acted strange by crashing and freezing, but the “volume down + power button” did the trick. Today it froze, so i booted it in safe mode. Everything was okay for 10 minutes, but then when i decided to power it up back to normal, it restarted and froze again, unresponsibly to anything. Is there anything i can do with it? Because the local technician said that they can do another firmware restore, but since i still have the problem after it it feels unnecessary. Best regards! — Mantas Gusmantas
Solution: Hi Mantas. If the phone was working normally when it was running in safe mode, then a bad third party app is most probably to blame. Observing the phone for 10 minutes though is not long enough to allow you to confirm that. Try restarting the device again to safe mode for at least 24 hours. In this mode, only pre-installed apps should be running so if the phone runs perfectly fine throughout the observation period, you can bet a third party app is to blame.
To know which app is causing the trouble, you’ll need to use the method of elimination. Here’s how:
Problem 3: Galaxy S7 missing Software update option under Settings
So when I try to update my S7 edge it fails to update everytime. And when I go to applications in my setting and look for the software update app it isn’t there so the only way I can access it is when the notification pops up at the top and if I hold down on the notification it brings me to the disable, force stop options and the apps data but I’m not able to press force stop or disable like it said in your article so what do I do? The version it says it is is 2.0.22-0. — Kammy
Solution: Hi Kammy. It’s a bit suspicious that you can’t find the Software update option under Settings app. If this Galaxy S7 edge was provided by your carrier, make sure to contact them to ask if they intentionally removed the Software update option. In a lot carrier-provided S7s we examined, software update should still be available. It definitely is present in international versions and those models that are not locked to carriers.
If your carrier will say that software update option should be present under Settings, then something must have removed it. We’re not aware of any malware that may do such but there’s always a chance that it can happen. We don’t know enough about your phone history to be of help in giving you an accurate answer.
To be on the safe side, you can try to perform a factory reset to see if the Software update option will resurface afterwards. Here’s how to do that:
Moving photos from an Android device to computer sounds like the simplest thing in the world. Unlike iOS, Android is a much more open environment, and it allows users to let the OS interact freely with external hardware and software. But while moving a bunch of images from a Samsung Android phone to a PC might sound like a simple process, a lot can go wrong if you don't use the right methods.
Some of the things that can go awry are that your computer won't be able to view device folders or make file transfers, the photo transfers might cause the system to hang, all the selected photos might not be moved, and so on. To avoid all of this, only use methods that have been tried and tested by millions of Samsung users on their PCs. At the very least, educate yourself on the best methods before you attempt anything.

We'll show you three very clean ways to transfer your photos from phone to computer. By clean, we mean that the process is simple, there's not much that can go wrong and your valuable photos will be safe throughout the process.

Method 1 : Transfer Photos to PC or Mac as a Media Device via USBHow To Download Photos From Galaxy S7 To Mac![]()
The easiest way to transfer photos from a Samsung smartphone to a computer is to plug it in using a USB cable. Once connected, swipe down from the top to access the notifications panel. There, you should see the option to connect the phone as a media device. On various Samsung models the prompt might be different, but you essentially want the device to be connected for media so the transfer can happen.
On your computer, open the file explorer and located your device. Drill down within that folder to locate the appropriate directory on the device itself or the microSD card if there is one. Now you can simply drag and drop images to a location on your PC. The method looks simple, but as we said before, things can go wrong even with such a simple process. In addition, the photos or images saved on other apps like Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram can't be exported to computer with this method.
Method 2: Transfer Samsung Photos to Computer with Google Photos App
The second method is to use Google's cloud service for photos. Once archived, you'll be able to see and download the same images to your PC. This can all be done wirelessly, but it does involve using a lot of data. If you don't have unlimited mobile and broadband data, then this might not be the best method for you. But if you decide to go ahead, then you can follow these steps below:
The Google Photos app should be installed first on Samsung smartphone. Open it and sign in your Google account. There, you can turn on your backup and sync so everything on your phone gets backed up to the cloud. This is assuming that you've already set up a Google account on that phone.
