And in Image Capture or Photos for OS X you can only see the GoPro being connected for a few seconds before it disconnects, reconnects, disconnects, repeat repeat repeat. But recently this has stopped working too.

But then even this "hack" stopped working about a month ago.įor these times I would connect my GoPro to my Mac via USB and transfer the files. I have no idea why, but this worked for a while. I figured out how to deal with this issue by first attempting to control the GoPro using the app before attempting to transfer the photos and video off of it. I would connect to the ad-hoc network that the GoPro Hero3+ creates, open the iOS app, and attempt to transfer the files to my phone but it would only work about 10% of the time. It started 6 months ago as an iOS app connectivity issue. (Skip to the bottom of this post if you just want to know how to connect to your GoPro using an internet browser.)Īs I mentioned my GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition has been giving me issues lately. So that’s it! Enjoy using your GoPro and Wistia.Follow me on Twitter. Once they are imported, you can drag them to your desktop, and upload them as usual. Select the videos you want to import, and (in the case of iPhoto), select Import Selected. It should detect the GoPro as an external device, and launch the importing process. Open iPhoto on your Mac (or similar photo import software for PC). Plug the cable into your GoPro and computer USB port, and make sure your GoPro is turned on!

If you don’t have an adapter, or an SD card reader, you can also use the USB cable provided with your GoPro to import video. Once they are on your desktop (or in any folder) you can upload them as usual. Navigate to find the file on the SD card (it might be in a folder labeled DCIM) and drag it to your desktop. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear as a drive on your desktop. Once you have the SD card in the adapter, plug it in to your computer (some Apple laptops come with an SD card slot, you might have to purchase additional connectors.) Then you can pull it out, and place in a microSD adapter for plugging into your computer. You can eject the SD card from your GoPro, and plug it into your computer to import your video.įirst, find the microSD card on the side of the GoPro, and press in on it to eject it. Your GoPro uses an SD card to store the videos you record. In this guide, we’ll show you how you can import video from your GoPro into your Wistia account. GoPro is the undisputed king of cool when it comes to consistent content that looks great and communicates a mission.
