Image Capture now hangs on importing photos between iPhone and iMac
I don't use iCloud for my photos, except to get Photo Stream to automagically move them from my iPhone to my iMac, where I store them locally. This works fine, in general, except for movie files, which PS does not move. Every few months I cable up the phone, and move those manually. However, since Photos refuses to recognize that it already has all the photos, it wants to re-import everything, not just the movies. Therefore, I used Image Capture for this operation.
I tried this yesterday, and moved the movies to a directory without issue. I then generally pull everything off the phone (again using IC) and put it in another directory, as a tertiary backup to the pictures. Of the 9,000 photos on phone, I pulled off about 7,000 and then the app stopped working.
It now hangs no matter what I try to import (any HEIC, JPG, PNG whatever). I can select all, I can select one, it doesn't seem to care. I've rebooted both devices, and even upgraded the phone to 16.3.
I highlight any file (or set of files, or all files) and it says it is importing, but the ball spins over top of my iPhone name (Spike), and nothing progresses. I'm not sure what to try at this point. Thanks for any direction.
iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)
