MobiKin Assistant for Android (Mac Version) is the 1st Mac Android assistant program on the market. It allows you to manage all kinds of files on your Android devices like Android phones or Android tablets through a Mac computer so that you can free up the storage space or avoid data losing on your Android phone. Now, let's us to see the detailed steps of using the powerful program.
How to Connect Your Android Device to Mac with A USB Cable or Wi-Fi?
To begin with, you have to download and install the program on your Mac computer. Please select the Mac version.
After installing, launch the program on your Mac. You can see the interface as below to let you connect your Android device to your Mac computer. You have two choices to do that. The first one is to connect your Android phone with a USB cable, the second one is to make a connection wirelessly.
#1. Connect Android to Mac via USB Cable.
This method is recommended firstly. When you need to transfer large videos from Android to Mac, streaming files by a USB cable will be faster and more smoothly.
Step 1. Enable USB debugging on your Android device.
To do that, you need to turn on USB debugging on your Android phone. You can open this link or read a brief tutorial given by the program to enable USB debugging.
Step 2. Authorize your Mac to make a connection.
Next, if your device is running on Android 4.2 or above, then you need to authorize the Mac so that you can proceed to create a connection. To do that, on your Android phone/tablet screen, click the 'OK'/'ALLOW' button on the window. If you can't see the pop-up window on your device, tap on 'Show Again' on the program's interface.
Step 3. Give permissions to the MobiKin Assistant for Android App.
After that, the program will install an associated mobile app (the MobiKin Assistant for Android App) on your Android device. Please tap on 'Confirm' on your Android phone to give the permissions to the app. Then, the app will be launched on your Android phone automatically.
Step 4. The Android device is recognized successfully.
When these preparations have been done, you can see the primary interface like below. Now, you can manage your Android data with this program easily. What's more, with the new updated MobiKin Assistant for Android, you can take a screenshot on Mac by clicking the camera icon on the primary interface.
#2. Connect Android to Mac via Wi-Fi.
You can also connect your Android device to a Mac computer via Wi-Fi. Unlike the USB method, you need to download the MobiKin Assistant for Android App on your Android device at first. Then, launch the free app and scan the QR code given by the program with the app's QR code scanner. After that, follow the on-screen prompts to make a connection.
Here's how:
Step 1. Launch the program and select 'Connect via WIFI'.
Step 2. You will see a QR code given by the program. From your Mac desktop, you can get a link to download MobiKin Assistant for Android App. Enter it to a browser on your Android phone or go to the app's product page for downloading.
Step 3. Run the mobile app on your Android phone, open the QR code scanner and scan the QR code displayed on your Mac. Please make sure that your Android device and the Mac are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
