Lightroom Classic iPhone import problem after updating to mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2

Recently updated to mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2 and started having problems importing photos from my iPhone to Liughtroom Classic. It will import some photos, but not all of them. Looked through the some of the old community posts for suggestions, but none of the previous advice seems to help...

Correct answer johnrellis

Importing by USB cable from Mac is often fussy. It seems that Apple changes things and LR doesn't keep up. Two workarounds:

 

1. Use the Image Capture app to copy the photos to a folder on your Mac, and then import into LR from that folder.

 

2. Use the LR Mobile app to sync the Iphone photos with LR Cloud, and then sync LR Cloud with LR Classic. (I use this method.)

Are you importing via a USB cable?
