Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
After installing iOS 16 onto my iPhone 8+, I cannot upload any photos onto my Mac iOS 10.14.6 because I keep getting the message, “Cannot import items because they may be an unrecognizable file format or the file may not contain valid data.”
I was always able to import every photo BEFORE installing ios 16.
How can I begin uploading all those photos into my Mac “Photos” app?

On your iPhone go to Settings>Camera>Formats and make sure "Most Compatible" is checked. It may be that the new iOS on your phone is using a format that your older Mac OS doesn't understand. This will fix new pictures you take to make them compatible.
Then go to Setings>Photos>Transfer and make sure that "Automatic" is checked, since the originals may be in an incompatible format.
Let us know if this works.
