Everyone has no problems connecting their Samsung Galaxy S6 edge to 
connect to their Macs' Mac OS X v10.12/Sierra with the USB cables? Or is 
it just me?

Apple support told me to check Samsung and look for drivers, but I don't 
see any. I read that Mac OS don't need drivers to connect to Samsung 
Galaxy S6 edges? I don't remember installing any drivers on the old Mac.

Also, this smartphone's model number is SM-G925F. According to Samsung's 
web site support. it is not from USA. Maybe region blocked? Is that the 
problem? If so, then why did it work on my old English MBP and its Mac 
OS X v10.10.5/Yosemite?
