Hello,
I recently got a new mac and now my photo's won't import into Lightroom classic. It keeps being stuck on "Import photo's". I have reopend Lightroom, and tried importing them multiple times, but it doesn't do anything. With my old mac I never had this problem. Does anybody know what this could be??

Greetings!

Show us a screen capture of when it gets stuck. Use the "Insert Photos" icon to include the screen capture in your reply. DO NOT attach files.

This is what I am seeing when I try to upload images.

This is what I see when I quit uploading. I tried uploading other images from a different shoot, those imported just fine.

Make sure Lightroom has 'full disk access' permissions.

It didn't work. I followed the instructions but they still won't load. I even tried importing them on my old mac and this also didn't work. My old Mac has an older version of LR though.

Are there videos among those images? There seems to be a problem if there are photos and videos.
