how do I transfer photos from my HTC One S to my iMac?

Launch Image Capture located in HD > Applications

See if it recognizes the HTC.

If the HTC has Bluetooth, turn it on. Then enable Bluetooth on the iMac from menu bar towards the top right by clicking on the Bluetooth logo and choosing Browse Device… . Connect to the HTC when it's found. You should then be able to navigate to the folder photos are stored in on the HTC and copy them to your iMac by dragging and dropping.

Brilliant idea..:) thanks

Forget the HTC Sync Manager - it does nothing but lock up and crash everytime I use it.

Instead, get the official "Android File Transfer" application for Macintosh computers from Android. It opens up your Android device with something that looks just like a Finder, allowing you to copy/move/delete anything.

I was able to backup over 4 GB of photos and videos from HTC One S to my iMac and then delete them from my phone in a matter of minutes...

We can't move them to computer just via a USB cable, try Coolmuster Android Assistant (for Mac). It's easy to use.

You saved my sanity! Thank you!

You're welcome! 🙂 When clients bring their phones to our business to get prints made of photos they've taken, we've found that most often a Bluetooth link is about the only way to get them off the phone.

There is no doubt that you can plug your HTC One into the iMac and the iMac or your computer will read your phone as a disk so you can handle the process of transferring just with the USB cable and drag the ideal files freely. However, you need to pay attention to that this way always allow media files to be switched. Thus, want some safe method, Mobile Transfer may offer hands to do this issue to transfer photos from HTC One S to iMac successfully.

Kurt...you are genius!!!!

I have been struggling for over a year uploading to drop box, downloading to Mac desktop, importing to photo and get more and more irritable with this long winded process. I stumbled upon your suggestion of using blue tooth and am now able to drag directly into the photo program on my Mac....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

what happened to plugging a camera or phone in to your computer and importing directly from the preview pane in iPhoto.?

Mac's upgrade to yosemite has made photo using so cumbersome that it is no longer a pleasure to use.

Anyway, you have restored some peace of mind. Thank you again!🙂

I had dramas with my S5 just doing a simple task as this. Figured it was the argument between Samsung and Apple that caused it. Just got a HTC Desire and the first time I paired it up bluetooth, sent a file and it went through. Boom! thought I. the second time back to square 1. But in fiddling around I've found a very basic way to bring stuff onto your desktop.

Go to the dropdown list. Find the device and hit the browse option.

Brings up your phones folders. Find the file and just drag and drop.

Works for me.

Thanks, A lot it worked
