Connect to a Macintosh computer via USB

You can use a USB cable to connect your tablet to a computer run- ning Mac OS X with a USB cable and transfer music, pictures, and other files in both directions.

This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is not supported by Mac OS X natively. Therefore, you first need to install the free Android File Transfer application on your Macintosh. It’s avail- able from www.android.com/filetransfer, along with instructions on how to install it.

After you install Android File Transfer, follow these steps:

1.If you are using Android File Transfer for the first time, double- click it to open it.

After you start Android File Transfer once, it opens automati- cally whenever you connect your device to your computer.

2.Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.

Android File Transfer starts, if it’s not already running, and opens a window that displays the contents of your device, along with storage space details at the bottom of the window.

You work with this window much as if it were a Finder window: opening and closing folders, creating new folders, and dragging files to or from it and other Finder windows. Disconnect the USB cable when you’re finished.
