PHPhotosErrorDomain error -1

This error message pops up when I try to use the sharing function in Photos. It pops up as soon as I select Airdrop or email a photo from Photos (Version 5.0 (121.17.170)) with Catalina (10.15.2). Not sure what's happening or how to fix it. This doesn't happen with I use GraphicConverter 11.1.2 and share photos.

Also, my computer is experiencing frequent crashes of photoanalysisd. I tried rebuilding my photo library (~38K photos); that didn't do anything.

Anyone else seeing this?

Hey there PaulWith,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re getting an error when sharing from Photos along with crashes of photoanalysisd. I’ll be happy to help.

For this issues, boot your Mac into recovery mode and run first on your Macintosh HD using these steps:

Disk Utility for Mac: Repair a disk using Disk Utility

Boot your Mac into safe mode and see if the issue continues there:

Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac

If you don’t see this issue occur in safe mode, restart as normal and test again.

Let me know if this helps.

I'm unable to boot into safe mode. I've tried holding down the shift key. Then I tried using the terminal command "sudo nvram boot-args="-x -v". I got this response, "nvram: Error setting variable - 'boot-args': (iokit/common) not permitted".

Any further thoughts Brendan?

Cheers,

Paul

OK, figured it out. Booted to recovery mode (Cmd-R at start-up), then used Terminal to enter: nvram boot-args="-x -v"

Booted into Safe Mode. Photos worked properly (and I noticed a new option "Memories" that I'd never seen before).

Boot back to Recovery mode and reset to normal boot mode - using Terminal to enter: nvram boot-args=""

Rebooted into normal mode and all is good now.
