Since the OS was recently updated to 18.1.1 on my iPhone 15, I am no longer able to import my pictures into the Photos app on my iMac. I have to mention that my iMac is pretty old and is running OS High Sierra 10.13.6 and is not allowing me to update the OS to a newer version. Anyway, the main error message I get is: "Some items cannot be added to your Photo library because they may be an unrecognizable file format or the file may not contain valid data". Then, for each individual photo that failed to upload, the error message I get reads, "unable to read metadata. The file may be corrupt". However, videos import just fine from my iPhone to iMac. This was not a problem before the recent iPhone update. I tried closing the Photo app and reopening it. I tried restarting my iPhone and iMac but nothing seems to work. Any help would be much appreciated.
Pictures won't import from iPhone to the Photo app on iMac
I have exactly the same issue with my iPhone 15 Pro updated to 18.1.1. Unable to import pics on my iMac OS Sierra 10.134.6. That never happened with my old iphone 13. Very unpleased with this issue on my new iphone . Please provide any help
Same issue since upgrading iPhone 15 Pro to iOs 18.1.1. Unable to import photos to iMac (OS 10.13.6). Have established a temporary workaround by changing the setting in Camera on the iPhone to JPEG, from HEIF. It appears the HEIF metadata produced by Camera since updating to 18.1.1 is corrupt / incompatible.
