Can I use Android / MTP to transfer files via USB to my MacBook Pro? If so, how? Thank you!

On your Android device there shoud be a method for turning on USB mass storage mode. Check your manual. Once done you can connect to the Mac via usb and the device should appear on the desktop as a drive icon that you can open and browse.

Mac OS X does not support MTP natively. Your options:

(1) Try to set your Android device to MSC, as indicated by Dansyacht; but not all Android devices support MSC.

(2) Try Android File Transfer, which supports MTP

(3) Use a wireless, rather USB, connection with AirSync
