I can't upload pictures from iPhoto to websites, it shows I have no pictures.

I got a new Macbook Air and now when I go to upload photos to Etsy or my Google Drive, it does not let me select them even though I have photos in my gallery. This is what it looks like. What do I need to do to fix this?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Unable to upload to iPhoto Hi, I have been loading photos into my iPhoto account on my MacBook. There are a significant number of photos that are unable to upload (as shown in the 'Unable to Upload' folder). I have tried the approach that others have suggested on these forums (i.e. export the photos that are unable to upload, delete them from my iPhotos account and re-import them), however that has not been successful. The photos are .jpg's and .mov's files so there is should be no format issue. Other photos taken at the same time, with the same camera, have uploaded fine so I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photos greyed out for selection to upload to website I am having trouble uploading some of my photos from my Mac to a website. When I navigate to my photos from the website to select which photos to upload, some of the photos are "greyed out" (very random which ones are and which aren't). If they are greyed out I can't select them. If I access them directly from my iPhotos library or from my desktop they appear normal and accessible. Included a screenshot of how they appear

Make sure your Photos library is designated the System Photo Library.

That's not iPhoto, it's Photos, the app that replaced it. I'll ask this be moved to the correct forum.
