The steps below will walk you through the process of transferring files to and from your Go Pro’s SD card.<\/p>\n
When you record pictures and videos, they are saved to your camera’s SD card. First we need to get your computer to recognize the SD card so you can transfer them from the card to your computer.<\/p>\n
You can use an SD card reader or connect your camera via USB to get your computer to recognize the SD card. If you use your camera, make sure the SD card is in the camera and your camera is powered off, and then connect your camera to a USB port on your computer.<\/p>\n
We recommend using USB ports on the back of your computer if possible, as those are typically more reliable than ports on the front or side. Don’t use a USB hub or USB ports on your monitor or keyboard. You should see a red LED light up on the front of the camera once it’s connected to your computer. Next, press the Power button so the camera goes into USB mode. At this point, your computer should recognize the SD card.<\/p>\n
Click on the Start Menu in the bottom-left corner of your screen, then click on \u201cComputer\u201d. Note \u2013 if you have Windows XP, click on \u201cMy Computer\u201d. Find the section named “Devices with Removable Storage” in the window that opens. Your SD card will be in that section, and it’ll be named something like “Removable Disk (E:)” or “Removable Disk (F:)”.<\/p>\n
If you’re on a Mac computer, click on the Finder icon in the left side your Dock. A Finder window will open. On the left, you’ll see your SD card listed under Devices. It’ll be listed as something like “NO NAME” or “UNTITLED”.<\/p>\n
Double-click on your SD card. You should see two folders: DCIM<\/strong> and MISC<\/strong>. Now double-click on the DCIM<\/strong> folder. In that, you’ll see a folder named 100GOPRO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: If you took more than 9999 pictures or videos, you’ll see 101GOPRO, 102GOPRO, 103GOPRO, etc. folders).<\/em><\/p>\n Drag your 100GOPRO<\/strong> folder from your SD card to your Desktop. A message will pop up indicating that your 100GOPRO folder is transferring to your Desktop.<\/p>\n Once this is complete, the message will either disappear or give you confirmation that the transfer is complete. If you have 101GOPRO, 102GOPRO, etc. folders on your SD card, you can repeat the same steps to drag them over to your Desktop.<\/p>\n You can then open up the 100GOPRO folder (and others if you transferred them) by double-clicking on them from your Desktop. The pictures and videos you transferred are in there. You can double-click on a picture, which ends in .JPG, to view it. You can also double-click on a video, which ends in .MP4, to view it. We do recommend using VLC Media Player<\/a> to play your video files.<\/p>\n How do I pair my GoPro Hero3+ with the WiFi Remote?<\/a><\/p>\n The videos from my GoPro Hero3+ are choppy during playback on my computer.<\/a><\/p>\n My GoPro Hero3+ won\u2019t power on.<\/a><\/p>\n My GoPro Hero3+ is freezing up.<\/a><\/p>\n My GoPro Hero3+ shuts down when it gets hot but there was no Temperature warning icon.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\nStep 4: Transfer your pictures and videos to your computer.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
