No worries, because when you do now plug in your Kindle Fire, it’ll show up with a Finder-like window within the Android File Transfer app:Īt this point it’s super easy to dig around, find the folders you want (like “Movies” or “Pictures”) then either copy files off the Kindle Fire by dragging them onto your Desktop, or copy them onto the Kindle by dragging them from your Mac system to the appropriate folder or sub-folder.This is an Amazon/Kindle problem rather than a Windows problem, but from what I've seen, Amazon tech support may not be very helpful in this situation.Īccording to this thread from last November, the then-current version of Kindle for PC exhibited the same symptoms you are reporting.
