Hi, can anyone please help me resolve this 'Cocoa error 66800' when I try to 'share' photos to my Photos library on my MacBook Pro?
Mac Pro
Cocoa error 66800. In Preview I found that this error notice came up when I went to File-share-photos but if I used the share icon at the top of the photo, then it worked without a problem. So press icon-share-photos and hopefully it should be fine.
Hi, thanks for responding. I'm running macOS Mojave. Actually, Photos crashed and when I restarted it, it had loaded the two photos. I had Airdropped them from my iPhone as Photo stream hadn't transferred them (must have had too many photos, or too little capacity perhaps) and was then using the 'Share to' feature to get them to the Photo library. They are jpegs I think but am not totally sure what format the iPhone uses.
Anyway, all is good now thanks for whatever reason :)
Hi J-Dub8,
It fixed itself after Photos crashed. I had also deleted photos off my iPhone and the laptop. So I'm not sure what actually made the difference, but when I re-started Photos, the photos were there that I had tried to share. Perhaps try shutting down Photos, and re-starting your computer. Good luck.
In my experience you can. The reason why you’re having trouble is due to something else I’d say. Try closing photos and restarting your computer, which is what I did.
Photos for Mac can handle PNG files. But files can become incompatible, if a third-party application embedded an unsupported color profile.
Which version of MacOS X and Photos are you using?
Which application are you sharing from?
And what is the file format of the photos you are trying to share? JPEGs, RAW files, other formats?
I have restarted my computer but still have this error message. Any help is appreciated - this is very frustrating.
Not sure what more you can do. I also deleted some photos off both my phone and laptop. Good luck!
same error message when sending from DXO to Photos. Worked well before.
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
I'm was trying to save a png file to Photos, and I assume the Cocoa error 66800 error message means that I can't save a png file in Photos.
Arh, thanks Leonie
Thanks, found a work around. If you send a photo to your computer and want to share to Photos - right click the photo and export to Photos.
