Why don't screenshots or images I copy on my PC reach my Mac?

Short answer: Turn on Include images in the Bridge app's Settings — it lets Bridge capture copied screenshots and pictures. Also check Capture what I copy and Share my clipboard are on; images land in your Mac's Junk Yard.

Check Include images in the Bridge app's Settings — it's what lets Bridge capture copied images such as screenshots and pictures. With it off, only text and files are captured.

Also make sure Capture what I copy and Share my clipboard are on, and that the Mac is connected and not paused. Images arrive in your Mac's Junk Yard, not straight on its clipboard.
