You will need a USB-A to USB-C adapter then if your MBA sees the drive and the contents then open Photos then File, import and select the photos on the flash drive.

Printing pdf files without Adobe subscription. Every time I attempt to print pdf files from my MacBook Air, macOS Catalina 10.15.5, Adobe prompts me to purchase a subscription. I have to transfer files to an old PC in order to print which is not convenient. Is there a work around?

MacOS Ventura Photos app Files => Photos app on MacOS Big Sur I feel like I am in a software/hardware version dead end. My primary Mac now uses MacOS Ventura. But my Canon Pixma Pro 1 has no Mac drivers past MacOS Big Sur (Windows drivers available for Win 11!). The MacOS photos files on Ventura don't appear to be backward compatible with Photos files on MacOS Big Sur. I have a Mac Pro 2013 with Big Sur which I use for a number of other purposes, but how can I get images from MacOS Ventura Photos App onto the MacOS Big Sur Photos app so I can print these images on this expensive and magnificent printer? I am sure I could individually export and import in jpg format, but what a pain. Any help appreciated....

Just plug the flash drive into the Mac and it should appear on your desktop or in Finder, and then just drag the photos off the drive and onto a folder on your Mac.

If your Mac does not have a port that the flash drive can be plugged into, then you will need an adapter.
