Importing photos from iPhone 5c to iPhoto
Hello-
I am attempting to import all of my photos from my iPhone 5c to iPhoto. I have a little over 9,000 photos. About 3,500 show as already imported, with the remaining 5,500 showing as new photos. I select "Import all new photos" and it says that it is importing, but nothing is happening! It just sits there and I end up force quitting iPhoto. I have plenty of storage on my iMac. Is there a limit to photo storage in iPhoto? I do not want to sync as I want to clear up storage on my iPhone. I've been trying to import for the last couple of days. Anyone else having this issue or have any suggestions?
Thank you!
iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
