How to Transfer Videos from an iPhone to a Macbook

Using Photos

1. Connect your iPhone and Mac with a USB cable. You'll most likely need the cable that came with your phone, as the side that connects with the phone is a lightning port and the other end is a USB.

   1. Tap Trust this computer on your phone if prompted. You'll need to tap this to allow the data to be transferred between your iPhone and Mac.

2. Open Photos

   on your Mac (if it doesn't open automatically). You'll see this app icon on your Dock or in the Applications folder of Finder.

   1. If Photos opens automatically, you can skip this step.

3. Click to select the media you want to be transferred. When Photos launches, it should open an "Import" page.

   1. If you aren't on the "Import" page, click the Import tab at the top of the app or click your iPhone's name in the left sidebar menu. ^[2]

4. Click Import Selected. This will highlight in blue when you have items selected. It's grey when you don't have anything selected.

   1. You can also click Import All New Items if you want to import everything from your iPhone to your Mac.
