To transfer photos and videos from your Mac to a pendrive, you can follow these steps:
1. Connect your pendrive to your Mac using a USB port. Make sure the pendrive is formatted and ready for use.
2. Open Finder on your Mac. You can do this by clicking on the Finder icon in your dock or by pressing Command + Space to open Spotlight and typing “Finder.”
3. In Finder, navigate to the location where your photos and videos are stored. This could be in your Pictures folder or any other folder where you have saved them.
4. Select the photos and videos you want to transfer. You can do this by clicking and dragging your mouse to select multiple files, or you can hold down the Command key and click on individual files to select them.
5. Once you have selected the files, right-click (or control-click) on them and choose the “Copy” option from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + C to copy the files.
6. Now, go back to Finder and locate your pendrive under the “Devices” section in the sidebar. Click on it to open the pendrive.
7. Once the pendrive is open, right-click (or control-click) inside the pendrive window and choose the “Paste” option from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + V to paste the files onto the pendrive.
8. Wait for the files to finish copying to the pendrive. The time it takes will depend on the size of the files and the speed of your pendrive.
9. Once the transfer is complete, you can safely eject your pendrive. To do this, right-click (or control-click) on the pendrive icon on your desktop or in Finder, and choose the “Eject” option.
10. You can now disconnect the pendrive from your Mac. Your photos and videos are now successfully transferred and stored on the pendrive.
It’s worth noting that if you have a large number of photos and videos to transfer, it may be quicker to compress them into a single folder or create a ZIP file before copying them to the pendrive. This can help reduce the overall file size and make the transfer process faster.
Additionally, it’s always a good idea to double-check that the files have been successfully transferred by opening them from the pendrive on another device or by accessing them on your Mac after reconnecting the pendrive.
