Image Capture has long been a preferred method of getting photos from an iPhone to a computer or external drive, but something I have run into fairly often over the last several years is that Image Capture occasionally randomly disconnects the iPhone during an image transfer. Having your iPhone disconnect while trying to transfer photos with Image Capture is obviously incredibly annoying, so you’ll be happy to hear there might be a very easy fix for this, though the solution is probably not what you might expect. Solution: Put iPhone into AirPlane Mode before the image transfer beginsSwipe down into Control Center and toggle AirPlane Mode on, then connect the iPhone to the Mac. Now use Image Capture to begin the image transfer as usual. Anyway, if you have experienced this problem before with Image Capture disconnecting during a file transfer from iPhone, try out this trick, toggle on AirPlane mode first, and see if it resolves the disconnection problem for you.
