I’m literally obsessed, everything about the song fucking rocks and if this is a sign of what’s to come for their next album next year, the word ‘excited’ doesn’t come close to describing how I’m feeling about it. Anyone else as obsessed with these damn elusive nuggies?

Also, was about to buy the speckled 7” on Club Bastardo of the Handful of Nuggies but then I remembered that every time I buy something that comes out right before tour, they always sell that same thing I bought but there’s a signed version for sale at the merch booth so if you’ve been holding out, maybe wait for the show in your area to pick up a signed copy. Who’s going to the first show on Wednesday!?

I've been crashing out for the past couple days dealing with transferring my videos off of my iPhone 16 Pro to my 2022 Macbook, and I am desperately asking for assistance.

I am a content creator, and have been using my phone as my main camera for almost a year. The videos I shoot range from 30minutes to a little over an hour and are shot in 4k Cinematic mode in 30fps. What I have been doing is this:

Record on Friday, videos are usually good to airdrop by Sunday (I've noticed it takes a little bit for the phone to "process? upload to the cloud?" Not really sure why it's not immediately available right after shooting but have chalked it up to those things being the reasons) so it's been working fine just waiting a couple days to do the typically 40minute to 1hour airdrop. But this week, I have not been so lucky and I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out, leading me to reddit in hopes someone can help with my insanely specific issue.

My issue is that when I go to airdrop, about halfway through the transfer, it will stop and I'll get the message "Unable to Share - There was an error while preparing to share. Please try again later." All reasons I can find online as to why this is happening do not apply to me, and I've run out of troubleshooting options. This is everything I've done:

• Made sure both phone and computer were up to date
• On a fast, stable internet connection
• Restart phone before/after initiating transfer
• Turned off iCloud Storage Optimization which makes the phone physically keep all originals
• Made sure Terms and Conditions were agreed to
• Low power mode is off and has never been turned on
• Made sure there's at least 10 gigs of free space on the phone
• Hard wiring the phone to the computer and trying via Image Capture and Photos app (they just don't appear on the computer)
• Editing the video slightly on my phone, saving, then trying the transfer. Also "Reverting Back to Original" then try transfer.
• More than enough free space on iCloud and the computer
• Downloading LocalSend
• Emailing/iCloud link

I'm sure I've missed some steps that I've done, I literally have been trying to figure this out since Monday and it is currently Thursday. I don't know what to do, I can't find anything that helps. I've been doing this almost a year and this is the first time it's been this difficult. If anyone has ANY ideas, please share what ya got. I'm at the point where I'm about to put my phone on my head, twirl around 3 times and sacrifice a goat all in the name of conjuring some sort of spirit that can escort me to the promised land of connectivity and seamlessness.

Edit: I have found the solution! What I ended up doing was taking the Micro SD out of my dash cam, putting that into the little USB-C dongle it came with put that into my phone and formatted it for Apple specific files. Then on the photos app, I “Saved unmodified original” to my files app and then from the files app copied it over to the microSD. This method is insanely fast compared to what I was doing before, I feel like an idiot not knowing about this sooner.

Edit: I should mention that these video files range in size but are about 11-12gigs on average, depending on the length.
