I have the same issues since about a week. I updated on Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 but it doesn't help. I have the photographs on an external HDD and a Mac Mini M1 with MacOS 15.0.1. Import of photographs takes like forever. I moved the catalog on my MacMini, but it didn't help. I switched off GPU support, but no solution to the problem. It took about 20 to 30 minutes at least to import 10 photos, now it doesn't even import them anymore. I don't know how often I had these problems with different Lightroom Versions on different Macs and Adobe always blames Apple for the problem, while the only problems I always have on my Macs is with Adobe software. I will have to edit about 1000 pictures, but this won't be possible with Lightroom.

Your question would be better off in its own thread, rather in a thread that has nothing to do with importing (in other words, you do NOT 'have the same issues'). Please start a new thread, describe your problem in detail, and people will be glad to help you.

Most of the time when someone says "same problem" its really a different problem. Please start a new thread and describe your problem in detail. People will be happy to help you in a new thread.
