I'm not familiar with a MacBook, but I'm assuming it's quite similar to a laptop.
If so, you can transfer photos, videos, etc, from your phone to your MacBook wirelessly - no need for wires etc :)
All you need, is for both your phone and MacBook to be able to access the internet.
On your phone, go to the app store and install an app called, "AirDroid".
On your MacBook, go to
http://web.airdroid.com/
Open the app on your phone and scan the QR code with your phone and your phone will connect to your MacBook using the internet.
You can now download whatever you want from your phone onto your MacBook
