Hey guys,

I got a bit of an unusual problem here...

Switched from a iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S7 for better VR support with gear etc. (by the way: Sweeeeet!)

Now I have the strange problem that when I plug in the mobile my hackintosh is able to power it, but the Android File Transfer always tells me "Could not connect to device". Tried all of my USB ports, 2 & 3, HUB whatever, different cables, USB card whatever, none of it worked. When I connect the mobile to my MacBook Pro all just works fine.

Any ideas? Do I need some additional drivers?

I have had the same problem for a long time. I have 5 Android phones and all of the Samsung ones have problems connecting to my hackintosh. The Nexus works fine.

I can plug the Samsungs into my laptop and the come up fine. (just like you)
