When I try to import photos to the Photo Library on my mac from a sims card taken RAW on my new OM-1 camera they will not display. JPEGs work, but not RAW. This was not a problem with previous Canon camera, I always shoot RAW, and I am using the same sim cards. Any help is appreciated.
MacBook Pro 13″
Which system version is running on your Mac? Are you using the Olympus OM-1?
The RAW format of this camera is supported on macOS 13 Ventura: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura - Apple Support
but not on macOS 12 Monterey or older system versions: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey - Apple Support
If your Mac is not yet running Ventura, you should upgrade to macOS 13, if possible.

I'm not sure what OS you have on your Mac but the OM-1 is listed on the raw compatibility list for Sonoma here:
Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma - Apple Support
It is worth noting that Apple do not update older OSes with raw updates.
Apple hasn't yet added the newest Olympus cameras to their compatibility chart despite being available for at least a year. Here are the workarounds I have found:
On desktop - import your photos using the (free!) Adobe DNG converter - this will convert your ORF files to DNG raw files which can then be imported into Apple Photos.
On ipad/iphone - the only solution I've found to date is to use lightroom to import the photos. This ultimately performs the same function as the converter (above) but requires you to have an Adobe CC subscription - I got the cheapest option I could find (lightroom for mobile only at 5.99/month). once you've converted the pics you can move them into your apple photos library on your phone/ipad.
Hopefully apple will get the compatibility issue sorted at some point!
Oh - I know. I have the OM-5 which is still not supported. I just got a brand new MacBook a few months ago so it's got all the latest software. Unfortunately, I had to also replace my Olympus camera last summer because my old OMD-EM-Mark ii decided to stop working correctly in the middle of a trip to a whole bunch of national parks, which is how I discovered this lovely issue.
(it made it through the trip, but only because the "issue" was that it wouldn't turn OFF anymore so I had to constantly remove the battery to not run it down)
oops - this was meant as a reply to you!

The thing with Raws is that each model of camera has to have support added individually. So, if you post in a thread that mentions the OM - 1 you need to specify that you're using a different camera model...
Photos won't import RAW
