iPhone not importing photos to MacBook Air - FIXED

Okay so, I had about 1200 photos I had to import from my iphone to my laptop and it imported 15 photos/videos then stopped and it was not working no matter what I did. I got in contact with apple support and the verdict was that my phone was the issue and that I had to airdrop all my photos to my computer and reset my phone. I deleted the 15 or so photos/videos that had already imported. I had airdropped about 1175 of the photos in chunks of about 150 until I got to the final chunk of 25ish photos. I selected them and tried to air drop them but got an error message. I chose to select 9 photos at a time until I found the issue and I got all the way to the second item in my camera role, a video. It was the video that was causing all the issues. I deleted the video then tried to import everything again and voila! It worked perfectly! A cautionary tale for those that may have been in the same boat as myself!

TLDR: Check the item in your camera role where the import stopped, that is likely the issue! Delete it if possible, I'm not sure what you would do if it was a video or photo you really wanted to keep.
