Hi sansby,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having issues importing photos from your iPhone to iPhoto on your Mac, but you see a message that says the process is waiting. We know that situations like this can be frustrating, but there are some troubleshooting steps I would like you to work through.
You mention that you are importing to iPhoto; I would begin troubleshooting by forcing iPhoto to close on your Mac using the instructions in the following article.
Force an app to close on your Mac - Apple Support
After iPhoto has been closed, disconnect your iPhone completely and then open iPhoto fresh and try to import again as outlined in the next article.

While trying the import again, if you experience the same behavior, quit iPhoto again and try to import using Photos or Image Capture as described in the article.
Best!
