Getting an error when importing photos from iPhone to Photo Library.

Can someone help me with this? Getting an error when importing photos from iPhone to Photo Library on iMac. Error states: 'Some photos could not be added to your Photo Library because they may be an unrecognizable file format or the file may not contain valid data.'


iMac 21.5", macOS 10.13

See if you can use Image Capture to download all of the photos to a folder on the Desktop. Then try importing from there.


Have you set your iPhone's camera to use high efficiency formats?
