How to transfer photo captions from iPhone 13 Pro to MacBook Air?

Hello RayfromFremont,

Let's use the steps below to import your photos using Image Capture to see if that still persists:

1. Connect your device to your computer using a cable, then turn the device on.

You may be asked to unlock your device with a passcode or to trust the device.

2. In the Image Capture app  on your Mac, select the device in the Devices or Shared list.

3. Use the tools in the Image Capture toolbar to change how the thumbnails are shown:

• Increase or decrease the size of the thumbnails: Drag the slider. 

• View images as a grid of larger thumbnails: Click . 

• View images as a list: Click .

• Rotate images: Click  as many times as needed. To rotate the item to the right, press and hold the Option key, then click the button as many times as needed.

4. Select images, if you don’t want to import all of them.

5. Click the Import To pop-up menu at the bottom of the window, then choose where to save the images or to create a PDF or a webpage that contains them.

To download images to another location, choose Other, then choose a location.

6. Click Download (if you selected images) or Download All.

By default, items you download remain on your device. If you prefer to remove them from your device, click the Action button  in the Image Capture toolbar, then either deselect “Keep originals” or select “Delete after import” (the option available depends on the type of device you connected).

You can also find those steps in this resource: Transfer images in Image Capture on Mac - Apple Support That should help to isolate that behavior further.

Let us know how that goes, and we'll keep moving forward based on your results.
