My Note3 will not connect to my Macbook pro with USB cord?

It will not connect when I plug it into the USB ports. I have Android file transfer on my computer and it just keeps saying try disconnecting and reconnecting. I have the phone set as mtp under USB computer connection

If I have read your question correctly, you are doing everything properly that you should be doing. The only suggestion I have for you, is that your USB cable may be bad. Either try your cable on someone else's computer, or just try someone else's cable. This way you can narrow down if it's a USB port problem on your computer, or a cable problem.
