Unable to import photos after upgrading to OS Ventura I have not been able to import photos since upgrading to Ventura. I connect my iPhone by hardwire to the my Mac, but photos will not transfer to my Mac. I have tried privacy settings, turning off hotspot, placing on airplane mode (toggling) and nothing works. I reverted back to Monterey which worked for downloads, but my photos file will not open with Monterey any more. Any ideas?
