Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I connect my iphone 7 plus to iMac thru lightning cable, Photos app pop up and show up photos for import no problem. But I cannot see any video taken which in iphone. I used iExplorer third party app I can see both photo and video file there. I also checked over Photos preference, options that nothing work for video import. iMac is Sierra 10.12.6 and iphone is latest ios as well. Any one can give me a tips? Many thanks.

You're welcome, Kein.
1 more thing. When shooting videos on your iPhone 7 Plus, I would recommend that you keep them under 15 minutes. If you need to videotape a longer event, just end your video then immediately start recording again to create multiple files.
Here's why. Several years ago, I was videotaping a worship service at church using my old iPhone 4 (I think). If I remember correctly, I think that Image Capture was unable to copy the file to my MacBook because it was too large. I had to find a trial version of a free app to transfer the file to my computer. I think that I got an error message when I tried to copy it to my work Windows laptop. That was probably 3 or 4 years ago so I am not crystal clear on the details.
Once I stayed under 20 minutes, the video file size was under the maximum threshhold that Image Capture can handle. The iPhone 7 Plus creates much larger files due to its higher resolution camera. That is why I suggested a maximum recording time of 15-minutes.

Hi Kein.
Please launch the Image Capture app on your iMac. Can you see the videos on your iPhone now?

Also, you should definitely update your Mac as that could help sort out software anomalies.
I can see and import from Image Capture now. Thank so much:)
