ios 16 photo import to Mojave

16.0.3 does not solve this issue.

Please report this at bugreport.apple.com because this is a critical bug. I cannot afford to replace my dependable Mac Pro simply because Apple nonchalantly introduced a game-breaking bug and probably won't do anything about it.

Hi Judy

CS6, and functionality for my Epson printers are the primary reasons why I stay on Mojave. On two iMacs, and my MBP. Plus cloud-based software just doesn't appeal to me, and everything works as it should right now. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Hopefully, I will have iOS 16.1 Beta 4 on my phone by morning (~5GB D/L, slow home internet). I will report back on how it works out with Photos imports. Probably be tomorrow PM, so stand by.

No trouble at all to sign up as a Beta Tester with Apple, just FWIW.

Hi All

Real briefly, "Yeah; 16.1 Beta4 on my 12Max fixed the import issue." At least on a sample of two fotos. I haven't had a chance to look thru to see how the rest of the install is working, but LTE and Wireless are there, and the rest looks OK, anyway.

Gotta go; will report back if I find other issues with the installation, but for now, if ya can't wait for the official 16.1, give the Beta a try.

As stated before, don't assume something until it's tested.

Who knows, maybe the person who keeps promising 16.1 is just some wanna be programmer at apple who knows their team do not know how to fix this or were told to do this.

16.03's release clearly just focused on bugs with the newest iphone and mentioned nothing else.

For the person on CS6, just install VirtualBox on your Mac. Then install Windows 10. From there, you can access your iohone's DCIM folder.

That's how I download all my videos and photos.

It's obvious that all the real programmers left apple and I wouldn't be surprised if they started their own app development company.

Until then, Windows 10 is the solution and 16.1 is just a carrot on a stick that some donkey is holding out to you to drag you along.

When 16.1 comes out, I'm sure someone will write "16.2 SHOULD fix the problem."

Ok, Mr. Windows enthusiast, enough is enough. 16.0.3 as I mentioned, didn't solve the problem. I downloaded it and checked it right away and posted my report to be helpful. Your confrontational style is no good to anyone here. You are barking at the wrong tree as mentioned earlier. None of us work for Apple. This a community of people trying to engage in solving issues that arise with Apple products. But again, none of us work for Apple. It has been stated several times on this forum and other sites that 16.1B (or test version) has addressed the issue. We are just expecting the official release of 16.1. I don't work for Apple but as opposed to getting frustrated with something I can't fix, I just exercise patience and hope it works. Have a nice day now, and chillax for Chrissake.

The answer to the IOS16/Mac Mojave transfer problem is NOT found by installing Windows! Sheesh!

Frankly, I replaced my late 2009 macpro running Mojave with a used MacMini that can run Monterey,

and since my iphone talks to it just fine, no need to corrupt my mac gear with Windows anything.

9 to 5 Mac reports that iPadOS 16.1 will be out Oct 24, so I assume iOS 16.1 should be there too.

Not being a professional photographer, I can wait to update the phone to be able to get my now-bulging iPhone library offloaded.

Being a professional music producer*, I'm running a 12-year-old Mac Pro, and even with an upgraded video card, Mojave is as far as this computer will go, so the iOS update is my only choice here.

*I know it doesn't logically follow that I would still be on an old pro desktop, but income hasn't seen the type of funds needed to upgrade to a newer model! One day, one day...

Would it help to update on OS Catalina? This issue popped up from time to time during the years. The pictures app seems to be too old for managing HEIC and HEIV images, maybe when the archive exists over years.

I actually don't use the photos or image capture.

I just prefer to access the phone's drive to download data off of it, which Mojave cannot even recognize the iphone as a drive.

The system profiler and itunes recognizes it though and that's about it.

Well I just installed iOS 16.0.3, and it's worse! Now the iPhone (12Pro) connects and disconnects repeatedly, opening Photos, and then disappearing about ever 3/4 of a second, in a loop. Wow. Image Capture (when I open it) says it's converting the iPhone photo reel, and then then the looping begins all over again. (Mojave 10.14.4 on a mid-2015 MBP 16GB 2TB.)

Why is this issue marked as "solved" ?? I updated IOS 16..0.3 and the problem is still there with Mojave. I tried Airdrop and same issue again… I don't know what to do and I can't believe I meet sooooooo many issues by paying such an expensive Iphone 12….

I'm actually not a Windows enthusiast. Why would I buy a Mac Pro and Macbook Pro to install a VM to run Windows.

When one seese doing this, they can probably guess that I am at the bottom of the barrel.

Would love to install the 16.1 beta; however, it does state that installing it voids Apple warranty, so I'm forced to wait for the official 16.1 release.

I only mentioned Windows for those who need to offload videos on their iphones before they fill their storage up.

In my case, I tested a GoPro Hero 10 and unfortunately, it really did run burning hot to the touch, so I bought an iphone and was impressed by its 4k videos with minimal camera shaking. Hence, this iphone replaced the gopro for me.

Once I can start importing all videos from my iphone directly to any of my Macs, then that's all I'm asking for. Like others, in ios 15, it did work.

I upgraded to ios 16 because of the added features it has.

So am waiting for the official 16.1 to come out. Until then, to preveny iphone from filling up storage space, I have to use Windows to download videos one at a time off of my iphone because downloading too many at a time causes the transfers to crash halfway through.

Yes. I'm venting considering how much an iphone costs and just saying that cheaper phones do not have this issue.

Android phones are like Windows computers, they should be the ones having issues because there are many hardwares on a phone or PC that wouldbe used to run Windows or Android.

Macs are develop just one hardware to run their OS, so it would minimize errors.

I have a software development QA background, that's why I wrote to inform others to not assume a new version will fix bugs unless it's stated in the "Release Notes."

I'm not a part of this weak cancel culture so I'll post things as direct as they get. I'm not a part of that fake crowd as you can see.

Cheers.

Don't know if others are also seeing this: after updating to iOS 16.0.2, AirDrop no longer works from the iPhone to older macs with High Sierra. So Apple managed to kill the only fallback still possible. A friend's phone with iOS 15 can AirDrop just fine to the mac.

it works but …

photos and videos transfer works. But the thumbnail of the video are weird after imported. Anyone experiencing the same thing ? The thumbnail are super faded.
