Photos not importing I am trying to import my photo library into Photos. The library is stored on a Mac journaled external SSD drive that is connected via USB. The photos library file is stored in the photos directory on the computer. When I try to import that entire folder from the external drive it shows all of the items, but when I click the button that says "import all new" it starts and the progress wheel apprears. then it goes away and nothing happens. The same things happens when I try to import photos from my iPhone 12. Any ideas?

Can't import iPhone photos to Mac What is going on here?? For the past hour I have been trying to import old photos on my iPhone to my macbook and the process has been super glitchy. I connect my phone with the wire, select all new photos to be imported, click "import" and then a tiny bar pops up that DOES. NOT. MOVE. There is a button that says 'stop import' so clearly it must be working, but unless it takes 5 hours, I'm not sure what's going on. This used to be so easy and it's ridiculous that such a simple process is taking forever. Even when I select 3 photos it doesn't work. When I select 1 photo it works sometimes, and other times it doesn't. I want all my photos synced to my library, without iCloud, so how am I supposed to do this? I have the most recent operating system on my phone and MacBook. Please help!
