[Summary]: Want to backup data from Samsung to Mac? This guide will show you the simple ways in steps to transfer photos from Samsung Galaxy S9/S8/S7/S6/Note to Mac.
“I tried to download a data transfer software to my Mac. Obviously it recognizes my Samsung phone and the MTP on the devices, but it can’t recognize my “Gallery” photos and so I can’t transfer photos and videos to my Mac for backing up good moments. Any ideas?”
When you first connect your Samsung Android device to your Mac for photo import, you may be disappointed to see that Aperture and iPhoto cannot recognize the device as a camera. The reason is there is no direct way for your Galaxy which is an Android device to communicate with the Mac. Android devices will generally communicate better with a PC. The article next shows a quick and easy way to copy photos & videos from a Samsung phone (Samsung Galaxy S10/S9/S8/S7/S6/S5/S4, Galaxy Note 9/Note 8/Note 5/Note 4/Note 3/Note 2, etc.) to a Mac.
