How do I import photos from my i phone to my mac? How do I make a new album or file?

It would help to know the system versions for your Mac and your iPhone. The iOS 16 upgrade has been causing problems for importing photos via USB from an iPhone on older Mac systems.

Jean, please understand that this is a not a chat room. This is more like a bulletin board where you post your problem and check back later (maybe hours or days later) to see if anybody saw it and posted a reply.

There are at least three tools you can use to import the photos from your iPhone to the Photos library on your Mac:

• iCloud Photo Library can be used to keep the iPhone and Mac Photos libraries completely synchronized.
• The Mac app Photos can import selected photos from an iPhone connected by a cable to the Photos Library.
• The Mac app Image Capture can import selected photos from an iPhone connected by a cable to either the Photos Library or to standard files in a Finder folder.

There are several possible meanings for "an album or a file". Did you mean a separate Album inside your Photos library, a separate Photos library, or maybe a separate Finder folder?
