hi Keith,
use your cellphone for your cube, i have the cube+ its definitely not a gopro but does fine. i dont think polaroid has a cube app for pc or mac but they have one for android and iphone. for windows just use a usb cable and look in your files under my computer. im not sure about mac. Good luck today with your new bird
also, once you have files from your cube on your phone, you can use bluetooth to get them on your macbook
