Hello everyone,

I have a problem here, I just got my Mavic Pro, and of course I went out near a river, to try it and make some video and photo.
When I back home, I connected the Mavic to my iMac, to download the video and photo, like I use to do with my Phantom 4.

On the desktop the file appear, from here everything is pretty normaql, but when I open the file, there is no video or photo...
I notice that I have the video and photo on my ipad, but not showing it on my iMac, so my question is, is there a DJI trouble, or Apple?
Since it work perfectly with the Phantom 4, I guess is there something wrong with my Mavic Pro.

If anyone have a solution, I am ready to listen very attentively.
PS: on the DJI go 4 app, I do not have the map anymore, with Phantom 4 and Mavic Pro. So if anyone know the reason, thank you for sharing.

Kindly regards.

Just take the SD card out of the MP and download them to your IMac and then oepn the file. If you use your IPAd to fly the files are cashed file. You might have aproblem with the SD card then try a different SD card to verify.

Definitely a Mavic pro problem. I took out the SD card from the Magic Pro, and I put in the phantom 4, then I connected the Mavic Pro to my iMac, and I got all the video and photo, on my iMac, so yes, Mavic Pro, don't like Apple it seems.

Well I will not use this Mavic a lot, and for sure I'm gone put it on eBay for sale. ;)
To me the compatibility with Apple its first.

Do you use the original SD card of Mavic? If yes, I would recommend you to backup all your data and format to check.

hello,
yes I use the original SD card. Today I shot some photo with the magic, them I insert the Mavic card into my phantom 4, and I connected the phantom pro to my iMac, and guess what? No problem, with the phantom 4 I can download the files.

So it look really a incompatibility between Apple and Mavic. You mean format my Mac Susan?
and to make the day better, I broke the left landing foot gear on the mavic today
Brand New with 2 flights and I broke the landing gear, definetely I am not lucky at all with this Mavic.

... are you sure it is no USER error? When files are there when you put the SD-card in the P4, they are there when SD-Card is in Mavic no doubt about that...
