iPhone will not sync with Photos app - iOS17.0.3 Ventura 13.6
This has been repeatedly asked elsewhere but still persists for me. When I connect my iPhone 11 (iOS 17.0.3) to my mac (Ventura 13.6, intel iMac), Photos will not import from my iPhone, instead being stuck at "Preparing to import from iPhone." Suggestions from other threads have not worked. I have:
1) turned on and off airplane mode.
2) reset privacy settings on the iPhone.
3) reset both the iPhone and Mac several times.
This started to happen for me after I upgraded my iOS to version 17, it did not happen before.
Any other ideas on how to get this working again? I do not like using iCloud, rather I like backing up my photos myself.
iPhone 11, iOS 17
