Unable to Import from iPhone

I have spoken to at least ten agents at Adobe LC Support and no one has been able to resolve the issue of not being able to import photographs from my iPhone 16 Pro. I am, however, able to import from an SD card. 

 

When connecting to the phone I am only able to see previews for some of the photographs. If I try to import them nothing happens and I usually have to Force Quit.

 

Support has elevated my case but no resolves have come. Promises to call me back have been ignored. My feeling is that the call center is pretty much useless for me in this instance and I wish that I could speak directly to someone in engineering.

 

ADOBE PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!

I upload my photos via AirDrop from iPhone to the default Downloads folder
on my Mac, move them to the desired final location on my Mac, then import
them from there into Lightroom.

Hi @Swamphoser!

I'm really sorry for the frustration this has caused and that we haven't been able to solve it for you yet. What version of Lightroom Classic are you currently using? If you haven't updated yet, version 14.2 was recently released—maybe give it a try to see if it improves things?

As a workaround for easily importing your photos from your iPhone, you can install the Lightroom app on your iPhone and set it to automatically import new photos. You can also use the app to take photos directly. When your catalog syncs, those files will automatically appear. In Preferences, you can specify where you'd like LR to store them.

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot! 😊

Best, Alek

My main problem is that although sometimes helpful, and usually friendly, it has taken over a month and innumerable phone calls for Adobe Support to escalate my problem to Level Three and to get actual engineers to attend to this problem. In the mean time I have been told multiple times that I will get calls returned an that someone is working on my issue. Getting a supervisor on the phone is pretty much impossible. Getting to speak to someone outside of India, also impossible. And all the time I am wasting time and money.

 

So I finally this morning I got a call from a Level Three supervisor - I pretty much had to beg for that call - who told me that my catalogs had been sent to engineering because they discovered a "known fault" from sometime ago that was in my files. I've been on the phone for weeks with multiple agents and they could not recognize a "known fault"! And I still have to wait for them to fix it! And she refused to let me speak to the engineers or to her boss. 

 

Adobe Support for this product is in my estimation mostly a joke. It's hard to hear the agents, their scripts are from another century, they don't return calls and it constantly sounds like there's a party going on over there. And I am more than sick of getting told about ridiculous workarounds when this product is meant to perform this simple task.

 

I will be amazed if I actually hear from engineering and get this problem resolved. On the mean time I would be grateful if you would shoot my remarks up the chain. I like the product, now I need time to warm up to the brand again.

 

With gratitude,

Hi @Swamphoser

 

I hear your frustration, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience in such detail. It’s completely understandable to feel let down after so many calls and delays.

 

I’m really sorry for the time and effort you’ve had to invest just to get the right level of support. I can see why the lack of communication and clarity has been so frustrating. You deserve a more seamless experience, and I’ll make sure your feedback is shared with the right teams.

I know this has been an exhausting process. I have credited you some time back to your account. Please add your vote and follow this post. If there’s anything else I can do to help in the meantime, please let me know.

CMass, offering me 30 days credit, although thoughtful, comes nowhere near acknowledging the time, effort and ultimately money I have wasted trying to get this "known issue" resolved. I want my product working and I would appreciate everyone and anyone involved in my case to work towards getting me a working product. That is all I have wanted and the reason I have spent endless hours on the phone with multiple members of the Adobe support team. In your response to this, I would like to hear that you have done your part to resolve the issue.

 

With gratitude,
