Cannot import non-camera images onto mac

[JBK]

I'm using the Xperia Z3 Compact with the 'Sony Bridge for Mac' software - I'm only using this software because no other software will even recognise the connected phone. It seems that software is the only way to import my images from the phone.

HOWEVER my options seem to be "show camera photos only" or "show all photos". The "camera photos" exclude any images downloaded from apps, any edited images, any screenshots. The "all photos" lists a huge amount of images, so I can only assume it's including all kinds of temporary files - but it doesn't show thumbnails of any non-camera images. The program gives an error when I try to import any image without a thumbnail.

Is there an alternative, better, EASIER way of getting all of my images onto my computer?!

if the pictures are stored on the Internal storage instead of the SD card, you won't be able to access them.

Aha, thanks. Looks like getting an SD card might be the simplest option. That way iPhoto would just recognise it as a storage device?

Yes it will
