Mounting internal and or external sdcards in Mac or Linux

[Guest todbld]

I am not sure if its just me but i have not been able to mount my Transformer storage on anything other than a windows machine. This is not acceptable for me as i HATE WINDOWS :-P I am just trying to get feed back as to if this is isolated with me or if others are having this problem ? *dont be confused i have adb working fine on either machine and i can push or pull from either, also i can see that linux knows that the transformer with device id has been connected but it does not see the device as having media*

Honeycomb uses the Media Transfer Protocol to connect to PCs rather than the usual USB Masst Storage protcol which is a pain as while Windows XP+ support it natively (assuming you have the right version of Windows Media Player on XP) it's not supported by default on OSX and Linux.

I don't know about support in linux but for OSX I use http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

(which after you've run it the first time automatically starts when you connect the tablet.)

Have been wondering about this as well. Now just have to work out how to get it working on Linux...

Many thanks Matchstick, months later you have answered my question. +1 For your reputation.
