Can't import videos from iPhone to Photos on laptop

I shot some videos on my iphone 6 and imported the 1st one into Photos on my laptop (OS 10.14.3) without a problem. Now am unable to import the others, get - Imagecapturecore error 28. I have tried repairing the photo library and it made no difference. I do have enough storage available. Photos import without a problem.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

some photos and videos captured by iphone X cannot be imported to Mac I am using Photos to import all my photos and videos on my iphone X. However, some photos and videos (captured by iphone) cannot be imported to Mac. The error is "The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9937)". Actually, this happens for a long time, years ago, though I kept updating iOS and OSX.

Can't download photos from my new iPhone SE (2nd generation) to my Mac Mini (running High Sierra 10.13.6) into iPhotos. Error message "Error Downloading image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem. I am trying to download photos from my new iPhone SE (2nd generation) to my Mac Mini (running High Sierra 10.13.6, current on updates) into iPhotos. I keep getting an error message "Error Downloading image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image". The problem appears to be with videos. I've tried just downloading 1 video at a time as well and its only allowed 1 to be downloaded. I do not use the iCloud because I don't want to download each photo, 1 at a time onto my computer. It's a waste of time.

Can't import images on Photo app Hello, I'm recently rediscovering the Photo app on Mac. So far so good but today I'm no more able to import several photos (which are in .HEIC format shot from my iPhone 11 Pro updated to the latest iOS version). I am using macOS Ventura 13.1 on MacBook Air M1 2020. I'm attaching a screenshot: Translation of the warning is: "Unable to import 2 items Some items can't be added to your photo library because they may be in an unrecognizable file format or the file may contain invalid data." What can it depend on? There is a solution? Thank you, Andrea

Are the videos very large? It may be a problem of the file size. The error message is typical for lack of storage. How much free storage do you have on your Mac? Some videos taken with the iPhone may have a size of 20GB or more., if they are several minutes long and are using a high resolution format.

Then try to free storage, before you are trying to import again.
