Why can't I import photos from my iPhone to my MacBook Air?

Today, I've tried iCloud, Airdrop and Bluetooth and using a connecting cable but only a few photos have showed up in iCloud. So frustrating. My MacBook Air is "waiting". Waiting for what?

Please check the network connection: see the following Apple articles:

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.
