Kies

Samsung Kies is a freeware software application used to communicate
between Windows or Macintosh computers, and more recently manufactured Samsung
mobile phone and tablet computer devices, usually using a USB cable connection
(though wireless LAN Kies connectivity is now possible using some devices).
Kies comes in two versions: The full
version, to which most of this article refers; and the "Kies Mini"
version, which is solely used to update certain Samsung mobile devices'
operating systems (OS versions). While the full Kies product is capable of
updating the OS versions of some Samsung devices, most may have their OS
versions updated using only Kies Mini. Though there is both a Windows and
Mac(intosh) version of the full Kies product, there is only a Windows version of
Kies Mini for most Samsung devices; therefore, many Mac desktop and notebook
computer owners who wish to update said Samsung devices' OS versions find
themselves having to lease or borrow a Windows computer onto which they may
temporarily install Kies Mini, and to which they then connect their Samsung
device via USB cable to accomplish said OS version update.
Though most Kies connectivity has
traditionally been via USB cable, wireless LAN connectivity between a Samsung
device on which the Kies Wireless Android app is running, and any Windows or
Macintosh computer running the Kies full version, is now also possible. The
Kies Wireless app also supports wireless connectivity with other devices via
said other devices' web browsers. All such connectivity, though, must be via a
local Wi-Fi connection (and not via cellular 2G, 3G or 4G data networks)
wherein all involved devices are on the same Wi-Fi LAN.
