Some said that Image Capture does not work on Mac. While this app works just fine for most users, unfortunately some are having problems with it.
Its primary use is to help you import photos from an external photo device like your iPhone to your Mac. Image Capture is a handy photo utility app that is pre-installed on your Mac device. Is that ridiculous, or what? Why doesn’t Apple let us know the file names?! And why doesn’t Apple/DropBox permit multi-file uploads? Anyway, good luck! Import the Dropbox files from your Mac into Photos. If you do them one at a time, guess what? You can see the file names!ħ. Select the appropriate files, then tap the share icon, choose Dropbox, and export.

Mac OS to determine which files are the ones that failed to export to Mac OS, and select all the offending photos (or do the next step one at a time I can’t get DropBox to appear in the list of export options with more than one photo selected) AFAIK, you still cannot see the file names.Ħ. Back on Photos on the iPhone, tap Photos (or Albums, then Recents) and scroll to the right date range. Scroll through photos until you come to the right file name (they’re usually alphabetical, barring imports from other sources).ĥ. Click on any photo, and press cmd-I to open the info inspector.

I presume that I lost the “live” part in the process, but I’ll have to wait until I upgrade to find out.īut the real problem is finding the offending files! Mac OS reports them by file name, but as far as I know, that name is never used in iOS, and it’s not obvious in Mac OS. I worked around the problem by exporting the offending files via Dropbox, then importing them into Photos. Furthermore, my Mac OS is 12.6 Sierra, which may not be very compatible with that format. In my case, four of five problematic files were photos in the new “live” format and one was a real movie, despite the fact that the error messages referred to them all as. The transition is the third time Apple has migrated Macintosh to a new instruction set architecture (ISA). CEO Tim Cook announced the plan in his WWDC keynote address on June 22, 2020. The Mac transition to Apple Silicon is the planned two-year process of introducing ARM64-based Apple silicon to, and deprecating Intel's x86-64 from, Apple's Macintosh line of computers.
