Anyone having issues transferring their RAW photos from the Nikon D850 to their MacBook pro using Photos?
The Jpegs(Fine) seem to transfer but the RAW do not?
Any help would be appreciated.

Did not know that Photos can handle raw files. Off it should you might need to update the Photos app.

My RAW images have no problem on my MacBook Pro. I use LightRoom to important them.

Problem is not the computer. May be the Photos software.

iOS Photos don't do RAW files, which became extremely annoying on a recent trip where I only brought an iPad. Get Adobe Lighroom CC Mobile from the App store.

May be this works. Open the preview and go to file, it shows import from Nikon D850.

I m unclear as to what you are really trying to ask.

"Transferring" the files (for after all, that's all NEF and JPEG are - computer files) should not be affected - do you take the memory card out of the camera and use a reader or just connect the 850 with a cable?

However, that Photos does not recognize the files is something else - that may have to do with the version of the OSX you are running. Unlike Windows, in Mac OSX the OS actually contains the various codecs that can interpret raw files. As Apple puts out updates and newer versions of OSX, it includes updated and new raw file interpreters. The point is, if you are runing and older version of OSX this might be why the computer doesn't "see" those files.

Same thing is true at the Finder level - when I upgraded to the Fuji X-T2 it took a few weeks before the OSX update included an interpreter for that raw format - so while the X-T1 raw files appeared as expected in the icon view (i.e. - as thumbnails) the X-T2 files did not. After the upgrade, the X-T2 raw images appear as thumbnails.

iOS Photos handles RAW just fine on my Mac and IPad both from my Nikon and Olympus. It is not my primary software for handling them. But if I am in a hurry to get photos to ICloud then I use Photos on the Mac. Then have them on my IPad or iPhone for further processing.

Perhaps, but this has absolutely nothing to do with iOS. The Op mentions a MacBook - that uses OSX.

OP mentioned a MacBook Pro, which if up to date would be running the same OS as my Mac and my wife’s MacBook Pro. All of which handle RAW files using Apple Photos.
