For this .

How to , we're gonna show you how to get the pictures and videos off your phone .

But the steps are similar for other types of files .

First , you'll need to download Android file transfer to your Mac from Google .

You may need to connect to your Mac to your phone .

Wake up and unlock your Android phone , insert the cable into your Android phone .

Ensure you have the USB options set to file transfer .

You can do this by dragging down the window shade menu from the top of your phone and tapping on the connection .

A finder window should now pop up on your Mac , double click DC I M then camera and there are all of your photos and videos that have been stored on the phone's internal memory .

Now , if your Mac doesn't recognize the phone when it's connected , you may need to enable developer options on your phone .
