Error message when importing from iPhone into Mac Laptop Lightroom App - Can't be read/not writable

I get this error message

 

"The following files were not imported because they could not be read or the destination folder is not writable"

I read that I needed to change privacy and Full Disk Access permissions, have done so, and restarted the computer.

 

It seems to import several photos, then stops.

I thought it could be a catalog problem, so started a new catalog - the same error.

It's possible, but less likely, that the photos on my iPhone can't be read.


I searched for other suggestions before creating this post

iPhone 13, Lightroom Classic 10.4 (most recent version my OS will accept)

Thank you

Ira

Correct answer Rob_Cullen

Support for the iPhone 13  was only added with Version 11 of Lightroom-Classic.

Support for new cameras, and phones, usually happens when the next upgrade or update happens (maybe about the time of Adobe MAX?)

Apple ProRaw could be the problem- Does the iPhone shoot in a DNG format? DNGs would normally be supported in all versions of LrC.

THANK YOU!


I think that will solve the problem!

I am running macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and Lightroom 10.4 on the laptop

 

I have macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and Lightroom 11.5 on the desktop and it does import.

 

I always import from memory cards so never thought that the iPhone would be causing the problem.

 

Will update macOS and Lightroom post haste!
