I can not get photos to import from iphone to lightroom classic. They appear on the import window completely jumbled (not by date) and then when I finally go through and pick the images I want to import they do not import, nothing happens.

 

Correct answer ExUSA

Try Image Capture or Airdrop to move the photos to your computer, then import them.

Hi @LynnPassionart

 

Welcome to the community. Thanks for the details so far. To help narrow this down, could you please share a bit more information?

  • How are you importing the photos?
    Directly connecting the iPhone to your Mac with a cable and importing from within Lightroom Classic
    Using Image Capture, AirDrop, iCloud Photos, or another method.

  • Which version of Lightroom Classic are you using? You can check this under Lightroom Classic > About Lightroom Classic.

 

Once we have these details, we would be able to assist better.

 

Regards,

Srishti
