Photos appear when I click to import then after about 20 minutes of waiting I get this message.

Importing my pictures from my camera (Can't use the memory card the reader in my computer is broken)

I'm working on a Mac OS X
Photos are in RAW format on a Canon EOS Rebel T6. I've been using the same camera/ memory card/ settings for months.

Checked all my folders they are not locked, I have permission, they are all writable and read.
I've tried moving the import to a new folder, I've tried importing one picture at a time.
Tried using a new memory card still get the same message.
