ios 16 photo import to Mojave

Hmm.. I'm pretty sure OSX Mojave came out in 2018 and the life cycle for OS's are 5 years, as I still get OS updates on Mojave.

When my iphone was on iOS 15, it could transfer photos. Just find it amusing how at least for me, the iphone worked better in Windows 10, even though this is a Mac product.

Maybe you are getting requests to upgrade to Catalina or above. But Mojave hasn’t had updates in a very long time. The only last minor update for 10.14.6 happened in July 2021 (14 months ago) and it was a minor security fix. The first version of 10.14.6 was launched in July ‘19.

I noticed it today. My only solution at this time is to text the photos to myself. iPhone X ios 16.0.2 . On one hand I am happy to hear I am not alone, on the other I am ****** they released the IOS without making sure it worked.

I like to turn lemon into lemonade, so I use Windows or in my case, in my Mac, I use VirtualBox to install Windows 10.

Then, in this VM Windows 10, I access my iphone and drag the entire DCIM folder to my Windows 10.

In my Mac, I created a shared folder that VirtualBox can access, so I copy the DCIM folder to this shared folder.

Then, in my Mac, I can access all photos and videos in their raw format. This also lets me save my photos/videos where I want to to.

In the past, when Photos used to work in importing photos/videos, I would have to import and then export because I prefer to save my photos/videos in a secondary drive.

So using Windows 10 just requires copying files over and not having to wait for the Photos app to convert each one; however, since Photos doesn't work, it's out of the equation here.

Hope texting each photo/video works out for you. My situation is that I like to keep copies on my storage drives to see them on a big monitor.

Cheers. Hakuna-matata.

I'm having the same problem. Error -9956. And it only started happening after my iPhone XR updated to iOS 16.

The same error happens in both ImageCapture (which I've been using for years) and the Photos app (which I haven't used in about a decade).

Interestingly, the app has no trouble importing images that aren't photos (e.g. screenshots or images downloaded from other apps.) It's only photos shot using the iPhone's own camera that fail to download.

For me, I had to connect my Iphone XR to Windows 10 either installed into my Macbook Pro or via VirtualBox.

From there, my Iphone will prompt to "Trust" my Windows 10, which I tapped on "Trust."

After that, I can access my iphone's DCIM folder to drag all of it over to my Windows 10.

I had an issue with a MOV H.265 file that was 18 minutes long in my iphone that would not transfer via Windows 10.

So in my iphone's Photos app, I selected this 18 minute clip and made it "Save To Phone." The saving process makes the app convert the clip. From there, I could transfer this 18 minute clip.

However, when I set my iphone to H.264 MOV, the codec that takes up more space, but is more compatible to most if not all devices these days, has no issue transferring over when it's a long and large file sized clip.

I guess you and I are doing QA testing for apple for free.

When my business booms one day, I'll reach out to hire you. As I don't like to freeload or freeloaders. Cheers.

Photos in Mojave won't import since I upgraded to iOS16 on my iphone. I spoke to Apple this morning -the advice was to 'upgrade' to Monterey due to 'incompatability issues'. As the Photos app is commonly reviewed as 'buggy' in Monterey, I've avoided this so far. Seems we're stuck with it if we want to stay with an older system. What a pain...Apple should do better.

If you need to download the photos/videos ASAP, doing this in Windows 10 worked for me.

Using the apps: Photo or Image Capture, did not work for me in OS X Mojave.

In Windows 10, after having your iphone trust the PC, your iphone's SSD will pop up and you can begin transferring photos/videos over.

The other route is to send photos/videos via airdrop to your Mac if it has airdrop. If not, uploading them to Google Drive or Dropbox with GDrive giving you more free space, 15GB vs 2GB from Dropbox or as some have done, texting it to yourself.

Same issue as described, '15 MBP with Mojave, and iPhone 12 Max, iOS 16.

Phone is my camera; gotta get my fotos on my laptop. I devised a quick work-around:

I have a "Live" Ubuntu on an external drive. Booted that, used the Linux "Files" to move the fotos from the phone file system to an ExFAT partition on the external drive, rebooted into MacOS, mounted the external ExFAT partition and imported the files as usual.

Worked like a charm, and all of the files open just fine; JPG, HEIC, RAR (Halide), and PRORAR.

Takes longer to tell the tale than to actually do it.

But I'll keep my fingers crossed for a fix via iOS upgrade.

Not sure how rumors could be used as a confirmation that is to be noted as the answer to a question.

It's like telsa announcing that through insider news that if you ordered their cars, the delivery time now is 1 month, yet for those who tried ordering, the eta is still several months.

I understand it's useless to live in the past; however, there's a big difference with Apple being run when Steve Jobs is around and when he's not.

I tried what apple suggested about how to make my iphone appear as a drive in my OS x Mojave and yet, all I can do is add music via itunes on my Mac.

Tested this on both my Macbook Pro and Mac Pro.

In the end, Windows 10 is the solution. A competitor is the solution. Hahaha.

I'm sure because of this message, don't be surprised if suddenly, Windows 10 cannot access any iphones anymore. :)

Well, you used to be able to count on Apple for a fix, not so much any more.

Things in my Mojave installation have been breaking down right and left, and the only "support" offered is "Well, upgrade to Big Sur . . ."

Ain't gonna happen. Already tried that, and it breaks too many long-time favorite apps. Was **** (Hades then, Nanny) getting Mojave/Time Machine Restore back on the MBP, too.

Actually, this is why I happened to have the live Ubuntu mentioned above; very seriously considering ditching MacOS in favor of Linux. Ubuntu is a fairly well polished Distro right off of the download, and very configurable.

But I do like my iPhone, and I just ordered an iPhone 14 ProMax to take advantage of the 48MP camera. iOS 16.x will undoubtedly come on that, but not of much use if I can't get my fotos off of it. Nothing like "Cloud" where I live; our internet is not a whole lot faster than dial-up :-P

16.0.3 has just been released today. I'm currently downloading it. I'm not sure the issue will be fixed, (most probably on 16.1 which is due in a couple of weeks). I'll keep you guys posted if I notice a fix with 16.0.3.
