Why can i not download my GoPro footage?

I own a HD Hero Gopro. My Mac is fully up to date. I have successfully downloaded the gopro editing programme. However, whenever i try to download the footage from my camera it will do so for some time and then come up with an error. When i check if the footage has downloaded it is not there. Any advice or tips would be helpful, thank you.
