Transfer pictures and videos from first generation iPad to iMac (late 2009, High Sierra 10.13.6

I cannot get the pictures and videos from first generation iPad moved to the iMac. I've tried Image Capture, and also via cable - nothing works. The iPad did have cell capability but I turned that off years ago...now using a newer iPad that does not include WiFi built in

Hello JLyn53,


This article provides details on transferring your photos to your Mac:

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC


Import to your Mac
1. Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac with a USB cable.
2. Open the Photos app on your computer.
3. The Photos app shows an Import screen with all the photos and videos that are on your connected device. If the Import screen doesn't automatically appear, click the device's name in the Photos sidebar.
4. If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust to continue.
5. Choose where you want to import your photos. Next to "Import to," you can choose an existing album or create a new one.
6. Select the photos you want to import and click Import Selected, or click Import All New Photos.
7. Wait for the process to finish, then disconnect your device from your Mac.



Best Regards.
