Well it seems that OSX won’t recognise any Samsung phones. A bit disappointing given their TV adds on how Macintosh is friendly with everything! I rang Samsung and they said ‘we don’t support macintosh’
So to get my samsung D900i working on OSX I had to do this: (I’m not suggesting you do it for whatever reasons like you might sue me if it doesn’t work, but it worked for me).
1. Download this file: D900iUSB.pkg.zip
2. Run it
3. Put some memory in the mobile phone miniSD slot because it is only the external memory that the phone uses as a USB drive. (I got 2G for $25 so it’s pretty cheap)
4. Go into the USB settings on the phone and set it to USB mass media, not USB modem.
3. Plug in your Samsung D900i and wow, it mounts AND itunes now recognises it and imports the photos automatically!
Note: if you want to SYNC your samsung D900i that is a separate issue, look here.

el drive D900iUSB.pkg.zip funciona en el mac X para el tfno J700….jajaj
Result – I used this with a G600 to get music off iTunes. This works. Need to restart Mac for connection to work and it will not copy downloaded tunes, but all those off CD work fine. Any ideas on the restart issue?
Thanks again my son is really pleased !

Hi Wayne,
Just to say a sincere big thank you for the Mac/Samsung utilities.
My D900i now not only syncs to my Mac(s)… it has enabled me to connect using USB and transfer the ‘Our Man Flint’ telephone sound as a ringtone (something I have never been able to do with my venerable Nokia 6310i)… awesome!!
Many thanks again,
Graeme
Legend! This works with my G600, thanks but what’s up with Samsung not liking Macs??? this will be my one and only Samsung phone, back to Nokia after this!
Many Thanks for your tip.
I really liked the way they came off

thx u very much!
works well with my son’s G600
thanksalot!!
Big thanks Wayne,
I just bought my son a J700i plugged it in to his mac and nothing
I downloaded and ran D900iUSB.pkg.zip on his old G4 quicksilver running 10.57, worked like a charm and the poor phone is now full of his dodgy R&B and grime music.
I have a Samsung i617 and I’d really appreciate it if you could help me with the driver!

hi wayne, after one iphone year i went back to my old samsung, discovering about cell phone sar values and how important it is to keep them low if we must use a phone. thing is my brilliant samsung can’t transfer large files through bluetooth, and that is now important for me. can u please do your trick one more time, or tell me how to if possible? my phone is the sgh-x830, one of the top 3 cell phones ever built bellow 0.2 sar values (at 0.119, it is nearly 14 times less damaging than my iphone 3g). here is what shows on the sys profiler when connected through usb (thanks in advance!):
