Cannot get any photos of my iPhone with image capture

It works!

Thank you very much, @codercotton!

Many thanks @Rider1330 this worked for me!

Seems a ridiculous way to have to get it to work, but it did so thanks!

having the same issue with Monterey - any solutions to this????

Same problem here using a new M1 iMac on MacOS 12.1 and iPhone 11 Pro Max on iOS 15.2.1

nothing suggested has helped.

THIS IS THE ANSWER... THANK YOU!

This works for me too. Thanks a lot

Have you tried updating the firmware? if not, update the camera firmware. It works 99% of the time. I had this issue on both my Canon cameras and updating firmware resolved the issue.

I'm not sure how it's relevant — but I turned off iCloud Photos in my iPhone's settings and it seems to have fixed the problem for me. I bought this Macbook Air this week and I'm already regretting it...

I had the same issue too. Restarting iPhone in the past had worked, but not recently (on the same iPhone 12 and M1 MacBook Pro 2020). So I tried a few sequences. This morning, a specific sequence worked:

1) On iPhone, force closed all apps

2) While unplugged from Mac, restarted iPhone. Do not unlock the iPhone after reboot yet.

3) I restarted Mac for good measure. Log in. Open Image Capture.

4) While iPhone is still unlocked from restart, plug in the lightning cable from iPhone to Mac

5) You will see "Unlock iPhone to use accessories" on the iPhone

6) Finally, unlock the iPhone. You have to type in pass code (not Face ID, since you just restarted the iphone)

7) Image Capture finally read the images on the iPhone

Hi!

I was struggling with the same issue. I needed to transfer a bunch of photos from my iPhone to an external drive and the Image Capture seemed the simplest way to do it (and It was).

These worked like a charm for me (OS 12.0.1):

Unplug and Re-plug your iPhone

• 
Plug your iPhone into your computer.
• Open the Image Capture.
• Wait the “Could not open a connection to the device module” appears.
• Unplug your iPhone from your computer and then plug it back in after a few minutes. This will deactivate the port you use on your machine and then reactivate it and it will likely resolve the issue for you.

If this method hadn't worked, I would have tried re-trust the iPhone on Mac. These instructions provided by Apple can guide you through the re-trust [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202778]. But I suggest you try the unplug and re-plug alternative first.

Good luck!
