[Q] How to transfer more than 4GB on mac?

---

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with transferring data more than 4GB on my galaxy. In order to mount my phone on mac i'm using the Android File Transfer, but this application is not allow you to transfer a file which is more than 4GB is like the same with the formats Fat32 and NTFS on hard drives. How i can solve this problem?

at least you can get the android file transfer file to work. mine just sits there doing nothing.


+1 on your question though.

I assume it can't transfer over 4GB is because thats the filesize limit for partitions formatted as FAT32. Although I don't know what file system the Galaxy Nexus uses, I assume its FAT32 for compatibility though.

Same here the program just crashes.

What version of OSX are you running? I'm running 10.5.8.

I would do it via Wifi. Apps like Wifi File Transfer Pro or Smart FTP worked always pretty well for me. Just couldn't test their compatibility with ICS so far.
With a Wifi N connection it's pretty fast and you don't have to deal with stupid cables
