To download photos or videos from your GoPro to your MacBook Air, you can follow these steps:
1. Connect the GoPro to your MacBook Air: Start by plugging the USB-C cable into your GoPro and then connect the other end to your MacBook Air. Make sure your GoPro is turned on.
2. Open Image Capture: On your MacBook Air, go to the Launchpad by clicking on the rocket icon in your Dock. Once in Launchpad, you can either search for “image” in the search bar at the top or scroll through the apps until you find Image Capture. Click on it to open.
3. Locate your GoPro: Image Capture will detect your connected GoPro and display it in the left sidebar under “Devices.” Click on your GoPro’s name to select it.
4. Choose the files to import: In the main window of Image Capture, you will see all the photos and videos stored on your GoPro. You can select individual files by clicking on them, or you can use the Command key to select multiple files. If you want to import all the files, you can click on the “Import All” button at the bottom.
5. Select the import destination: Before importing the files, you need to choose the destination folder on your MacBook Air where you want them to be saved. To do this, click on the “Import To” drop-down menu at the bottom and select the desired folder or create a new one.
6. Start the import: Once you have selected the files and the destination, you can click on the “Import” button at the bottom right corner of Image Capture. The selected files will now be transferred from your GoPro to your MacBook Air.
7. Monitor the import progress: Image Capture will display a progress bar for each file being imported. You can also see the overall progress at the top of the window. Once the import is complete, you will find your GoPro photos and videos in the chosen destination folder on your MacBook Air.
It’s worth noting that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the version of macOS and GoPro you are using. However, the general process should remain the same.
I hope this detailed guide helps you download your GoPro files to your MacBook Air successfully.
