Unicode on Mac is insane. Mac OS X uses NFD while everything else uses NFC. This fixes that.

convmv manpage

Install convmv if you don't have it

sudo apt-get install convmv

Convert all files in a directory from NFD to NFC:

convmv -r -f utf8 -t utf8 --nfc --notest .

  • Open Activity Monitor and kill “Android File Transfer Agent”
  • Go to where you installed “Android File Transfer.app” (I have it under /Applications)
  • Ctrl+click –> “Show package contents”
  • Go to Contents/Resources
  • Rename “Android File Transfer Agent” to e.g. “Android File Transfer Agent_DISABLED”
  • Then go to “/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Android File Transfer” and again rename the Agent app.
