Importing photos from iPhone to iMac

I am running a 2011 iMac with High Sierra OS. I have a iPhone SE 2020 with iOS 16.0. Today I attempted to import 83 photos from the phone to Photos on my iMac. All of the photos were recently taken using the iPhone. I get this error message: "Some items cannot be added to your Photos library because they may be an unrecognizable file format or the file may not contain valid date. Until this incident, I have never had any problem importing photos into Photos. Can someone please help me, in a straightforward how I can resolve this issue? Thank you!

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Hi

Plenty of threads here with the same problem with IOS 16 and older versions of MacOS. So far I’ve not seen a solution other than to upgrade. If you can’t upgrade then I’d suggest contacting support directly (top right of this page)

Hopefully Apple will issue a fix in the next IOS
