If you don't have the two Macs networked you will need to use a thumb drive. If they are networked, you enable file sharing using System Preferences (the box with gears on it in your dock) and add a file to be shared. Put your pix in the file that you have shared and then, on the other Mac, Go-->Connect to Server. Type in the name of the other networked machine and navigate to the shared folder. Select and drag to copy the pix to your desktop or other folder.

Answer 6

Each phone has a different procedure. Here are some ideas:

• Many phones allow you to plug a USB cable to a computer and transfer files that way.
• If the phone has WiFi, and it has a file explorer type app, then you could share a folder on your Mac, then use the phone to point to that folder and copy the files over there.
• If your phone has a Micro USB chip, then you could simply pull the chip and put in a microUSB adapter and copy the files onto your hard drive, that way.
• Bluetooth file transfers are another way.
• There is plain old just emailing the files from the phone to your email account, but this might be cumbersome.
• Some cloud based services can be set up to back up files from your phone, such as Google+, SugarSync, Box, Dropbox, and many others.
