Connect to a Macintosh computer via USB

Page 75 highlights

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 files 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/filetransfer, 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 first 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 files to or from it and other Finder windows. Disconnect the USB cable when you're finished. Related settings Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Tethering & portable hotspot Settings > Device > Storage > Menu > USB computer connection 72

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 files 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/filetransfer
, 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 first 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 files to or from it and other Finder windows. Disconnect the USB cable when you're
finished.
