However, Apple iMac and other Apple devices cannot support the latest and fastest SD cards being used

by high-end digital photographers. Apple PHOTO application is unable to process

these files and your Apple hardware will produce a number of fault and error

conditions (as well as nothing at all – no action) because the Apple computers

are not keeping up with the demands of the DSLR cameras and big files.

The only solution is to ‘dummy down’ and use slower SD cards and not Import large numbers of pics

until Apple improves their device and software application capabilities. I suspect

their desire to force everyone onto iCloud is impairing their attention to

photogs who prefer desktop editing and storage.

I can no longer import photos that I take on my phone to my MacPro. The only ones available are those which I sent or received on my phone. The problem started Aug 2018. Someone said she figured out with quick key shortcut (Control 1) but I don't understand what that fix means. I need to post pictures for my AirBnB so this is very urgent now. Thanks. BTW, my phone is 5S and I my MacPro is 2014. Both are up-to-date but I am still using the macOS Mojave 10.14.6.
