how can I transfer photos from my Samsung phone to my apple air?

My iMac won't recognize an android phone using only a cable. If you need to get files from the phone, you can use "Android File Transfer" https://www.android.com/filetransfer/ You can't preview the files, but you can copy them to your computer. I hope this helps.

Transfer Through iCloud.com/photos:

On your Samsung phone, open a browser, and go to iCloud.com/photos. Then, upload the photos there. Next, access them in the Photos app on your Mac. You'd do the following on your Mac:

Enable Photos on Mac:

1. Go to: System Preferences
2. Click: Apple ID (on top-right)
3. Select: Photos (by giving it a check mark)

I can't help with Samsung phones, but generally speaking if you connect a USB device that macOS recognizes as a camera, it will automatically offer to import its photos.

Basically, connect it to your Mac with a cable.
