Transferring Files Using Your Mac
CONNECT YOUR MAC TO your Galaxy S II USB Mass Storage Mode, and an icon for the Galaxy S II appears on your desktop. However, it won’t appear if you connect via MTP mode; you’ll have to connect via USB mass storage mode, as detailed earlier in this chapter on Connecting Your Galaxy S II to Your Computer.
Browse it using the Finder as you would any other USB storage device. You can copy, move files, and so on between your Galaxy S II and your Mac.

When you connect your Galaxy S II to your Mac in USB Mass Storage mode, iPhoto immediately launches, and opens to the folder on your Galaxy S II that contains your photos (DCIM/camera). To import photos and use them in iPhoto, select individual photos or all of them, and then select either Import Selected or Import All, and you’ll be able to use the photos from your Galaxy S II on your Mac. After you’ve imported the photos, the Mac asks if you want to delete the pictures you’ve imported. If you want to keep them on your Galaxy S II, make sure to click Keep Photos.

You can also use Finder to copy photos and any other files back and forth between your Mac and your Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II appears like any other removable USB drive to Finder.
