File transfer iPhone to USB

So I’ve been trying to transfer photos directly from iPhone (15 pro max) to a USB. And it initially was fine no issues and now most of the time I’m greeted with a “attribute not found” message upon trying any photos. Already been in contact with apple. Wondering if there were any suggestions as I’ve tried most things already

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

I’ll attach some pictures now: as you can see out of 60 items only a few allowed me to transfer to the usb. Note these were all taken that day/shouldn’t be uploaded to iCloud yet

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting Upload Errors:

Seeing: “Attribute not found” indicates error -693, meaning there is an unsuccessful upload/download to/from a server or another device. So, start with updating your iPhone to the most-recent version of iOS. When things are dulled out, that indicates it’s pending and is still in the process. So, along with updating the iOS, disable VPN connections, and see about clearing space. Finally, close all apps, as things may not be responding and uploads and downloads

may be pending


Closing All Apps:

Apps may be open that are not responding or ante pending downloads.. So, save what need be, and then close all apps. Hold you finger down as you swipe up form the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then, close all of these open apps, by swiping up quickly for all apps.

Please Provide a Screenshot:

A screenshot would most certainly help. IMPORTANT: Bock out any personal info (i.e. names and time),, by covering it with red-colored rectangles and such through use of the Photos app. The Link: Take a Screenshot on your iPhone – Apple Support
