Part 1 of 2: Connecting the Gopro to the computer

1. Turn off the GoPro. Do this by pressing the Shutter button on the front or top of the camera until it turns off.
2. Find out where the USB port is. There is a mini USB port on the side of the GoPro.
3. Connect the GoPro to your computer. Use the USB cable that came with your GoPro. Plug the end with the USB mini jack into your camera, and plug the USB jack into an empty USB port on your computer.
   • Connect the camera to one of the USB ports on your computer, rather than to a USB hub or a port in your keyboard or monitor.
   • You can also take the microSD card out of the GoPro and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer.

1. Turn on your GoPro. Do this by pressing the Shutter button until a red LED light turns on. When the GoPro recognizes the connection, it should go into USB mode, which will cause a USB symbol to appear on the camera's screen, if it has a screen equipped.
   • If the camera does not automatically enter USB mode, press the Shutter button again.
   • If you are using a HERO3 + or older, please turn off the Wi-Fi on the camera before connecting it to your computer.
2. Locate your photos and videos. On a Mac, a camera icon will appear on the desktop. Double-click to access the photos and videos on your camera's microSD card.
   • For Windows, go to My computer, and find your GoPro in the list of all available drives, then double-click on it.
