transferring photos from a samsung galaxy S5 to an IMac

[Adele Paxton]

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 and now want to transfer pictures I took on it to my IMac. The version on my IMac is 10.8.5. I did download Kies to my Mac, but I am still unable to transfer my pictures. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,

If you have just downloaded Kies I believe Samsung no longer support Mac, very disappointing.

Delete the Kies version you downloaded and try this older version at this link

I found that Dropbox is the best method for my syncing photos between my Android phone & my iMac …

Just download/install Dropbox (free) on both then turn on download to computer on the phone, it's pretty straight forward …

I have my phone set to automatically download from my phone to my iMac using my home WiFi set-up.

Any photo I take either at home or when I'm out and about then appears in the Dropbox Camera Upload photo folder on my Mac if I'm within the home network range … it's very convenient.

You can also set it to upload/download using a data plan but I'm skint so I never choose that option

The long way is to connect via USB, mounting the phone on the desktop in Drive Mode then navigating to the DCIM folder where your photos lie & dragging them onto the Mac's desktop.

Hi,

I think that Spawn_Dooley's Dropbox suggestion is a great idea and defiantly think it is your easiest option.
