Since the new iOS and latest update to Lightroom Classic, i am unable to import any photos from my iphone or my wife's.    I tried to reset the privacy settings per an article I found online but it did not make any difference.   My iphone is connected to Mac Studio and it is a trusted computer but when I go to the import dialogue, the iphone does not appear as a source for photos.    I can see the phone and access content via Mac Finder so it is connected and accessible outside of the Lightroom Classic App.   Any ideas?

Actually I just connected my Nikon D500 and i can't import any photos from that either.    Neither my phone nor Nikon appear as a source in the import dialogue.     I really wish i had checked this before i made all of the privacy changes to my iphone!!

 

Any suggestions as to how to get externals to show up for import as part of LrC 14.01?    Right now only see my computer hard drive and two external hard drives.    I do not see either camera or iphone.

"Since the new iOS and latest update to Lightroom Classic ... LrC 14.0.1"

 

I just tested my Iphone and Sony RX100 connected to my Mac (Mac OS 14.6.1) via USB cable, and LR 14.0.1 was able to import from both.

 

Are you on Mac OS 15 (Sequoia)?  It seems every fall Adobe and Apple get into a spat over importing and tethering via USB cables.
