Resolve possible issues while migrating photos and videos from Apple Photos to Lightroom.
Error: Could not access Apple Photos Library.
This issue can occur when one of the following happens:
Solution: Do one of the following:
Error: Apple Photos works on HEIF images and videos in order to make them ready for migration. While the processing is going on, some assets might not be available for migration. This processing may take several minutes based on the number and size of HEIF assets.
Solution: Wait for a few minutes for Apple Photos to complete the processing so that all the assets can be migrated. Click Check Again if the error is still displayed.
This error can be displayed when there is a mismatch between the number of assets in the Photos Library and those which are available for migration. If the Apple Photos is Busy dialog box is displayed and stuck for a long time, do the following:
If the error dialog box is still displayed, there can be few assets that cannot be converted and hence there is a mismatch in count. Click Continue Anyway in this case.
Error: Not enough cloud storage. Please upgrade your storage limit. Once you reach your current limit, new photos will not be synced to the Creative Cloud and will only be stored locally.
Solution: This message is a warning rather than an error. You can use Lightroom without syncing everything to the Cloud, but some of your files will not be backed up nor accessible from other devices. It is recommended to visit your Account Management Plans page on Adobe.com to explore the upgrade options.

Error: The main volume does not have enough free space to continue with migration. Lightroom requires enough space to copy your photos and videos before they are uploaded to the cloud. Even if you want to store the migrated assets on an external disk, main volume space is required for previews, databases, and more.
Solution: Free up space on your main volume and retry migration.
Error: Only key photo of a burst set is available for migration.
Solution: If you want other photos in the burst set to be migrated to Lightroom, visit your Apple Photos Library and expand the burst and select all the frames of the burst that you want to migrate.
This error message lets you know that none of the Apple Photos Library assets are available to Lightroom for migration. Hence, the migration cannot continue.
The following types of assets are not available for migration:
Solution: Ensure that there are non-zero assets available for migration in your Photos Library that has been set as System Photo Library.
Error: Not enough disk space to complete the migration. Lightroom needs enough space to copy your photos and videos before uploading to the cloud.
Solution: Before Lightroom can import your photos and videos, it copies them to a new location on your local system. Over time, as they are backed up to the Cloud, Lightroom may remove these large and original files and replace them with smaller and smart previews to save disk space. The process of the initial copy can require large space.
If you see this error, you can direct Lightroom to store original files on a separate drive. To do this, follow these steps:
From the error message, note down the amount of space that you require.
In Lightroom, select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Lightroom > Preferences (Mac).
Select the Local Storage panel. Now click Change Location to select a drive with the minimum amount of free space recommended in the above error message.
While migrating the Apple Photos Library, Lightroom creates a database and Smart Previews on your local hard drive to enable viewing and editing of your images during migration. This can take up significant extra space, that can be as much as 20% of the size of your catalog and original files. Especially when migrating large catalogs, ensure that you have that amount of free space on your local drive.
Error: Already migrated. You already moved this Photos Library to Lightroom.
Solution: Starting from Lightroom desktop version 2.3, you can re-migrate your Photos library. However, migration of a Photos library multiple times can lead to duplicates in Lightroom.
Before you can re-migrate an already migrated library, delete all assets and album structure from the previous migration in the folder 'Migrated_PhotosLibrary_Name'. In some cases, you can also remove the entire Lightroom library and start over again.
Error: Please update Lightroom and try again.
Solution: If you see this error, check the Creative Cloud desktop app for a newer version of Lightroom.
Error: Migration is a power intensive process, it is recommended that the device is connected to power source before continuing with migration.
Solution: Connect the device to power source.
Error: Failed migration can occur due to several reasons such as:
