Image Capture not working

macOS Mojave 10.14.3 - Image Capture version 8.0  >> Image Capture works great here.

My iPhone is just so full and I have been trying to find a way to transfer my 35k photos since months APPLE!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone tried using FonePaw IOS transfer before?

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.

Have you tried just plugging in the SD card or use a usb reader for the SD card.

I never had any luck with the crappy software built into the camera to do the transfers and have always used a card reader.

Going through the camera requires the camera to talk to the Mac. Try eliminating that part.

This is ridiculous! I've been travelling for the past month, taking 1000's of Photo's with my Nikon camera and haven't been able to transfer the photos to my mac 🤬

... As I'm writing this, my photo's have magically appeared in Image Capture. My guess is that maybe I have so many photo's on the SD card that it was just taking a long time to load?

Anyhow, some sort of loading indicator would be appreciated Apple devs!

Device: iPhone X

OS: High Sierra v10.13.6 (latest version as of Monday 18th Feb 2019)

If this helps anyone at all. I had major issues at first with Image Capture (and the app Photos) with my iPhone X recently; everything from device recognition, to device recognition without any visible photos in the list, to slow loading and error messages (keep in mind I don't use iCloud at all and do not have it operational on any devices at present).

After trawling through many forums looking for answers and doing all the usual tricks, I eventually found a solution that worked for me after about 2 hours. These are the steps I had taken:

1. Backed up my device on iTunes first (and also saved my data using Time Machine)
2. Made sure both my iOS and OS were up to date
3. After I restarted all my devices and saw everything come up in my Image Capture, I realised what was causing me issues was Image Capture struggling to deal with the fact I was trying to import a short time lapse video (despite the fact it was recorded natively using my phone without any editing or filters applied – less than 22mb file), which caused all the problems again and everything stopped working.
4. Rebooted my iPhone X using the back up saved from iTunes
5. Image Capture returned to normal after the reboot straight away. I made sure that the time lapse video was not selected this time, and easily imported the other 2gb worth of JPG and PNG photos swiftly without any further problems.
6. Also worth checking System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy (tab) to make sure that these apps have read and write accessibility with the account you're using when trying to import items. Also that iTunes recognises and "trusts" your device when prompted.

I'd love to know if this helps out anyone else :)

Simple solution. I restarted my phone. Image capture and preview work on first connection afterward. Simply restarted the phone.
