I can't upload my pictures into Lightroom Classic

Question

I recently got the new M4 Mac Mini and wanted to edit some of my DSLR film scans in Lightroom Classic. Ive done this before on my MacBook and had no issues but now when I try to import the photos into Lightroom on the Mac Mini, nothing happens. The photos are CR3 files and I've searched around and it doesn't seem like Lightroom has an issue with these files. When I try importing from the folder on my computer, Lightroom is stuck saying "Importing Files..." and in the top left, "Copy and import photos". Does anybody know what the issue could be? I've tried waiting for a while to let them upload, tried restarting both Lightroom and the Mac, and still nothing. Also, yes Lightroom has full access to my computers disk. This is really frustrating.

Try manually copying your images from the card to a hard drive first. Then open LrC add import them with the Add method.

LrC doesn't upload pictures to the catalog. When you import from a card they are first copied to your computer's hard drive, and then they are added to the catalog. The copy may be stalled for several different reasons. Manually copying the images removes LrC from the equation and makes it easier to trouble shoot the problem.
