On occasion, I\u2019ve needed to use The Terminal over macOS\u2019s GUI to copy images and movies from Google Glass onto my machine. Since upgrading to macOS Mojave, I\u2019ve needed to use The Terminal exclusively<\/em> to copy files from Google Glass, since macOS Photos throws an error, per Figure 1 below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Error
Figure 1<\/strong>: Error message generated by macOS Photos when trying to import images\/movies from Google Glass<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Others have had this issue, also: https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/thread\/8556828<\/a>. Thus, I discuss below how to setup and use The Terminal in macOS to copy files from Glass onto your local machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install Android\u2019s Platform Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Launch Terminal.app<\/code>, which is in Application\/Utilites<\/code>.<\/li>
  2. Install the open-source package management tool Homebrew by typing the following into The Terminal: ruby -e \"$(curl -fsSL https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Homebrew\/install\/master\/install)\"<\/code><\/li>
  3. Enter your password when prompted.<\/li>
  4. Install Android\u2019s Platform Tools: brew cask install android-platform-tools<\/code><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Prepare Google Glass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    1. Turn on Glass and wait for the login screen.<\/li>
    2. Connect Glass to your computer.<\/li>
    3. Type adb shell<\/code> in The Terminal. If you are not<\/em> presented with error: device unauthorized<\/code>, continue to step 6.\"\"<\/li>
    4. Return to Glass, which should be prompting you to Trust this computer?<\/code> Tap to confirm. \"\"<\/li>
    5. Tap again to Always allow<\/code>. \"\"<\/li>
    6. From Glass\u2019 home screen, swipe back to the Settings<\/code> page, then tap. \"\"<\/li>
    7. Swipe forward to the Device info<\/code> page, then tap. \"\"<\/li>
    8. Swipe forward to the Turn on debug<\/code> page, then tap. \"\"<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Copy Files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      1. In The Terminal, type adb shell<\/code>. You should see something akin to shell@glass-1:\/ $<\/code><\/li>
      2. Now, navigate to the images\/movies folder by typing cd \/mnt\/sdcard\/DCIM\/Camera\/<\/code><\/li>
      3. Any images or movies will reside in the Camera<\/code> folder. List them by typing ls<\/code><\/li>
      4. Open a new Terminal window: \u2318 + N<\/code><\/li>
      5. Navigate to the Desktop: cd Desktop<\/code><\/li>
      6. This next command copies files from<\/em> Glass\u2019 Camera<\/code> folder to<\/em> your Mac\u2019s Desktop<\/code> folder, and, in this example, we\u2019ll imagine that a file called FILE.jpg<\/code> exists in the Camera<\/code> folder. To copy this imagined file, we\u2019d type adb pull \/mnt\/sdcard\/DCIM\/Camera\/FILE.jpg .<\/code> \u2190 Note the dot (.<\/code>) at the end of the command preceded by a space. Of course, you\u2019d replace FILE.jpg<\/code> with a file (or files) residing in your Glass\u2019 Camera<\/code> folder.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
