Can u transfer pictures and music wireless between the galaxy s3 and the galaxy tab 3
 
Hi and welcome

YES you can do that (between any android devices with a local wifi network)

Install ES file explorer on both devices (there are other apps that will work but this is the one I use)

On the first device open the menu by pressing the top left "globe" button
tools
remote manager
turn on

Device 1 is now an ftp server with the address shown

On device 2 open ES file Explorer
menu
network
ftp
new button
select ftp
enter the address from device 1 in the server box eg 192.168.0.13
enter the port no in the portbox (thats the number after the colon in the server address)
tick the anonymous box
press ok

If it does not work, check both devices are connected to wifi. You now have both devices appearing in the file explorer on device 2. You can copy paste and delete as you wish!

The slightly simpler but less private method is to use the ame dropbox account on both devices and move files via dropbox.
