Help Kies no longer finding phone

nooaah

Well, first gripe was that Kies kept using an iPhone backup from November 2011 to sync messages and contacts. I've been messing with that for over an hour trying to get it to use my most recent backup (and I did remember to disable iCloud in iTunes and my iPhone).

Well, Kies crashed and upon re-opening won't even find my S3 via usb connection. I restarted my Mac and it's still not finding it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also, I'm a complete Android noob. Are there any threads that list the best apps, best app stores, etc?

I tried out Nova Launcher but it seems to have glitched out. All of my apps vanished and the screen is pretty much blank besides the dock. I'm sticking with TouchWiz for now since I have to go out.

Finally, how do I get Spotify to store downloaded music on my SD card? I'm completely lost right now but eager to get up to speed quickly. Thanks!
 
I should add that Kies shows my phone as "connecting" but the wheel just spins and spins and spins.

Edit. I restarted my phone a SECOND time and it showed up. Still need help getting the correct iPhone backup, though!
