Android File Transfer not recognizing phone

[Neoart]

Hey Foxcat,
It actually takes only 6 sec to Transfer the PDF document with Bluetooth to the phone.
From there, pull down screen shows it sitting there.
Making the document active and easy to resource using Polaris Office 5 App.
It works very well for most complex PDF's. Surprised how well with detail mapping.

Only glitch so far is saved web page as PDF, and looks just fine on the computer,
but in this case -
Something in the process takes the background elements apart, which can happen, exposing all it background properties, like a rating 1-5 stat, and this was a Thai restaurant review showing stack of members reviews.

The process w/i the app spread the star rating across the page blocking view of document.
Not the end of the world, and if I knew more about how to control all there is about PDF's, maybe it's controllable prior.

If document was critical, probably better to convert original to image file, then import.

I still pursued the nite for hrs to still try to find the magic USB Transfer Default,
and it just didn't happen.

Google Play site had some apps at $40 claiming everything, but no USB.
I was so sure I was going to find it - but Apple is known to have built in New World Order domain on gadgets.
Cheers.

Well, I have finally figured out who's responsible to not letting this happen by USB.
The Dreaded Kies App itself, Just being there.

Simply deleting the app to the trash as I've done before,
won't release it's grip to let the Android File Transfer application work.

Go back to Kies
download the app, and use the remove app.
All backup files stay in place - tested.

Launch Android File Transfer, and it Loads instantly. Zero Glitch.

Cheers

Here's what the Kies app launcher looks like when removing the app.

Unbelievable - There's the Android File Transfer App.

Biggest troubleshooting step you can do at this point: Restart both devices. Unplug your Moto and restart your Mac and the phone itself.

No amount of restarting, batt pulled, reboot/restart made any difference.
Kies cannot have any hooks at USB, and have Android Transfer get access to USB.

What I haven't tried yet, now that Android transfer works perfect-
Now reload Kies to see who takes over.
