What model MacBook Air Do you have?

In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  • Your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
  • Your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
  • Your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed*
  • Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
