Lightroom 15.3, Cannot Import

Greetings, 

I’ve been watching this thread and trying to reproduce the issue with no success. My three Macs have no issues importing. 

It would be helpful in vetting this issue if those ‘me-too’s’ on the thread could provide some additional information. 
 

1. Have you reset Lightroom Preferences since the problem started?
2. Have you attempted a clean reinstall of the application?
3. How are you importing, built-it card reader, direct camera connect, external card reader, or other?
4. Does this happen every import or just some?
5. Is your macOS up-to-date?

Finally, does anyone have a video of the behavior they could post for the experts to review?

Same exact issue here. Its showing a contact loading status on some photos within galleries. I am also unable to import right now at all.

Same issue here
also I can’t use Noise reduction

I’ve been having the same problem! It just started randomly one day, I was using an older Macbook to be fair but it still had 24 gigs of ram and had been previously running just fine. I even went and bought a new iMac just because I thought it was a problem with my old computer. But nope, brand new 32gig computer later and it still won’t import anything. Just gets stuck on the import screen with nothing loaded. 

I do in person same day reveals with my clients and this has severely impacted my workflow! 0/10 Adobe please fix this!

I’ve been having the same problems recently. We’re paying for a product that’s unusable. 

I am not a Mac user … so I request clarification on this part:

Additionally, when I try to quit Lightroom Classic, the quitting process hangs and I get the pinwheel of death and have to force-quit.

Does this mean that you have to shutdown the entire computer and restart it? Or does it mean something else? Please provide details.

Exactly same issue here subsequent to Lr update 😬
