Connect to a Macintosh computer via USB
You can use a USB cable to connect your phone to a computer running
Mac OS X with a USB cable and transfer music, pictures, and other les in
both directions.
This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is not supported by Mac
OS X natively. Therefore, you first need to install the free Android File
Transfer application on your Macintosh. It's available from www.android.
com/letransfer, along with instructions on how to install it.
After you install Android File Transfer, follow these steps:
1 If you are using Android File Transfer for the rst time, double-click it to
open it.
After you start Android File Transfer once, it opens automatically
whenever you connect your device to your computer.
2 Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.
Android File Transfer starts, if it's not already running, and opens a
window that displays the contents of your device, along with storage
space details at the bottom of the window.
You work with this window much as if it were a Finder window: opening
and closing folders, creating new folders, and dragging les to or from
it and other Finder windows. Disconnect the USB cable when you're
nished.
