Image Capture not working

So what I am trying to do is transfer my photos from iPhone to external hard drive. I used Image Capture and it sometimes does not show me the photos or it starts to import and then fail in minutes showing me error message.

I tried using Photos but it seems like I can not import my photos to external hard drive.

I did not think of using iMovie or FCP, can they import to a hard drive? how can I do that? what I know is that they import to the program itself only

This fix didn't work for me because 'select' remains greyed-out as a non-option, it won't let me choose it. My phone isn't locked.

I'm super irritated. For me Image Capture acts like it imports and then deletes my selected images-at first I thought 'Wow Mojave is fast!'-but in reality nothing happened.

Thank you so much, it is my first time to know about creating a new library.

I started using Photos and import 100 photos only per time, it is sooooo slow but at least I have imported 1000 photo of them.

Hi - I'm having the same problem. It might be after updating on my iMac [High Sierra OS 10.13.6 - I don't want Mojave, yet...]

, Image Capture is no longer working on my iMac to import my photos from my iPhone SE. When I launch IC, it only shows two images on the phone. I do NOT want to use Photos [since I did not have a good experience with iPhoto]. It also won't import from Preview. thanks

obvious route if you have a removable camera card..

however, I'm trying to get thousands of photos off my iphone to free up space.. there is no card to remove.

Mine automatically move to my Macs from my iPhone.

If you are trying to move them with Image Capture, you have to wait until IC completely indexes every photo on your iPhone. If you have a lot, I can imagine it may never finish.

Oops, got camera connected with a new cable. But still getting printer error messages from Image Capture!

I agree. I organize my photos better than that 'lesser product' ever could. It's an annoyance. I want image capture, a simple and efficient tool.

Has anyone found a way to import photos (a ton) from iPhone to MacBook without using iPhoto??

Yes, use Image Capture. It lets you copy photo (& movie) files from your phone to your MacBook.

Jesus H! How can you be so lost? The reason I and several others are posting is that Image Capture isn’t working anymore. Where are the alleged Apple pros with a fix?

well, boovek (how can you be so rude), Image Capture works for me with osx 10.14.2. I thought it wasn't working, then found that it did after all. Perhaps I am not the one who is lost.

I have the exact same problem. Please Apple/ Apple Pros, pick this up and provide a solution! This is a major issue.

Thanks for this info. I will give it a go.

awesome. we’re not talking about the phone.
