Importing videos from a GoPro to a Mac is a relatively simple process. You’ll need an SD card reader or a Micro SD card reader with an adapter, depending on the type of card your GoPro uses.
Begin by removing the SD or Micro SD card from your GoPro and insert it into the card reader. Then, connect the card reader to your Mac computer (if it’s not already connected).
Next, go to the “Finder” app on your Mac and select the “Devices” section. You should see the card reader and the card connected. Select the card icon and it will open a separate window with the content from the card.
Go to the “Pictures” folder or the “DCIM” folder, where all the photos and videos from the GoPro are stored. The files should have random filenames, so you may want to sort them by date to quickly locate the files that you are looking for.
Then you can select the videos you want to import and drag and drop them to your designated folder in your Mac. The transfer process will begin, and once completed, your videos will be in the folder you selected.
You can now disconnect the card reader safely by pressing the eject button in the Finder window.
It’s that easy!
Why won’t my Mac find my GoPro?
There can be a variety of reasons why your Mac might not be able to find your GoPro. Here are some possible causes and solutions you can try:

Why isn’t my GoPro showing up on my Mac?
One reason your GoPro may not be showing up on your Mac is if the correct drivers are not installed. It’s important to make sure the correct drivers are installed for the GoPro to be recognized by the computer.
Other possible causes could be that the GoPro is not connected to the Mac correctly—such as needing a larger capacity memory card—or the GoPro is not powered on. Additionally, it’s possible that the USB cables being used are not compatible with the GoPro or the Mac.
To resolve this issue, try different USB cables. If the GoPro is still not being recognized, make sure the correct drivers are installed on the Mac, and if they already are, try reinstalling them. It’s also worth unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in to make sure it’s securely connected.
