How to transfer pictures from my cellphone onto mac book pro

How do I transfer pictures from my cell phone unto my macbook pro?

What Cell phone do you have? I have the LG Lucid phone which is an android phone and just use the usb cable to transfer the files. I also have dropbox that I will use from time to time as well. I have to set the connectivity setting to Mass Storage to be able to transfer files and photos. The media sync option only works if you have Windows. When I first plug the phone in, Mac will tell me that the device is not compatible and will ask if I want to eject or ignore it. When the phone is first plugged in, it tries to run as an installer so Mac doesn't like it. Once I ignore it, the phone then becomes a storage device and will show both the internal and the external SD card on my desktop. I can then use the standard copy and paste methods to move files from the phone to the drive or you can use iPhoto or other photo progams to copy them. I have picassa on the system that I use to get photos.

  • Does anyone know how to transfer music from Music player onto Macs i-tunes?

    Am new to Macs. Trying to transfer music from media player to my mac using a pen-drive. however it will not play in itunes only in VLC. How am i able to get it playing in itunes? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    CharlieNicole,
    iTunes only plays the video file formats supported by Quicktime. If you are working with files from Windows Media Player or Realplayer, you will need to use one of the players recomended for those media formats for the Mac. I would recomend checking the websites for the maker of those software for their recomendations.
    For a list of formats that iTunes will play this article has information:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758
    EDIT: iTunes for Windows can convert WMA files that are not encrypted with DRM (Digital Rights Management) software. You might want to consider adding them to iTunes on a Windows-based PC, and the copying the resulting files over.

  • How to transfer songs from an iPad onto a MacBook Pro?

    Hi,
    So I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. Before that though, I had a windows laptop and an iPad mini. The iPad mini was synced to the windows laptop, which broke. I then set up an iTunes account for my Mac with the same apple ID as I'd previously used, and made purchases on the iTunes Store on my Mac.
    Basically, I am now stuck with my songs which I had on my iPad before purchasing the Mac which I cannot get onto my Mac and I am stuck with purchases on my MacBook which I cannot transfer to my iPad. I have not synced my iPad to the library yet, although I have authorised the MacBook. Some of the songs on my iPad were not purchased on the iTunes Store either, but I do not want to lose them.
    Any ideas on how to sync my iPad with my MacBook without losing anything?
    Thanks!

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.

    How to transfer pictures from computer ( Windows 7) to iPad with Retina display ?

    Note that, if you use iTunes to sync photos onto the iPad, you'll need to use iTunes to take them off.
    if you don't have a lot and want to keep deletability, you may want to consider mailing them to yourself, or uploading them to something like dropbox, then downloading them (via the dropbox app) to your iPad.
    there are also several photo syncing apps out there that may suit your needs. Afraid I don't have any to recommend. But syncing via iTunes isn't the only way to get photos onto your iPad..it's just the  built in way

    Connect the iPad to your MBP and open iTunes.  In the photos section of your iPad in iTunes you can choose selected albums, Events or the entire iPhoto library to sync to your iPad.

    How to transfer pictures from ipod to computer?

    Hey, I've just read your answer regarding Photos folder in an G5 iPod, I hope you can help, 'cos you know it well! I imported photos from my PC to this folder, and then deleted them out. The problem occured when I realized that I might have also deleted some default running files in the Photos folder. Since then, I have met the error message "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" whenever I opened the Folder. I'm unable to import photos now. Would you possibly show me how to fix it? Thanks a lot,

    Any tips on how to upload pictures from a camera onto my iPad mini with retina display (besides emailing them)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    If your camera pictures are stored on an SD Card you could purchase a lightning to SD Card adapter..
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD822ZM/A/lightning-to-sd-card-camera-reader?f ind=Sd+lightning
    You could also get the pix to your computer then copy them to an SD Card, if your computer sports an SD Card reader.
    Then use the lightning to SD Card reader..
    Lots of cameras use SD Card for storage, mine does..

  • How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro?

    How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro? I inadvertently trashed and then deleted a file from my computer. Is there any way to retrieve it?

    Only be using data rescue software - and there's always the chance that the file has already been overwritten.
    I've used Data Rescue 3 to succesfully retrieve files that I've trashed. It's an $100 gamble, tough, and there's no assurance that you'll be able to retriebve the file.
