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

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.
