    As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

     

    If you can import successfully into the new library then your current library is the culprit and need to be repaired according to this Apple document: Repair Your Library.  

     

    Also where is you're library located and how much free space do you have on your drive.

    Draspr, I experienced a similar thing with nearly the same set-up. I just updated to El Capitan, Photos came up by default and I'd prefer to continue using iPhoto 9.6.1. When I launched iPhoto, it just appeared to hang and I thought, crap, they're forcing us into "Photos". I didn't have any photos on the phone, so took one. iPhoto imported it without an error after that. Check to make sure you have at least one image on your phone, then give it another try. EP

    When I connect my Canon sx100 iPhoto immediately recognized it.

    For more than 3 years my iPhoto library has been in (for me unknown reason) in Users>Myself>Pictures>iChat Icons and iPhoto been working just fine.

    Unfortunatly I cannot use new Photos bcs of  infamous "Photos does not have necessery permission..." (Why Photos always need to complete 8% of import before realized that?).

    I have 62 GB free out of 500GB

    I'm not sure where the iChat icons folder is coming from... This may be of help in the troubleshooting process. Make sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library! If Photos can’t copy or create a library - Apple Support

    Move the iPhoto Library to the Pictures Folder and try again.
