Importing photos on a Mac

[Lydia B]

I had someone asking me recently for help on importing photos to her computer. She said she has a MacBook, and currently has to “upload my photos to my phone then airdrop them from my phone to my computer”. She shoots with a Canon Rebel T3i. My brother who has a Mac said she should be able to get some sort of USB-C adapter to connect to her computer, but she didn’t think she had a way to connect her camera up.

Since I have no experience either with Canons or Macs, I thought I’d put it out here and see if anyone has additional advice on how she could directly import photos from her camera to her computer! 🙂

“upload my photos to my phone then airdrop them from my phone to my computer”.

🙁 That is indeed a very clunky solution. I’d suggest using an SD card reader.

I think your brother is also correct that an adapter cable should work: something like this, I imagine.

Also have her check whether her Macbook has a built-in SD card reader.

Thanks Ezra! I did ask if she has a built-in SD card reader in her computer and it sounded like she didn’t.

I’ll mention the SD Card reader to her as well, and see if that helps.
