Adding photos to a Mac album from a Shared Photo Album - Can't be done !
Hi, my friend created a shared photo album so I could view all the photos of a recent trip. Now I want to get these into a new album on my Mac for permanent storage, after which we can delete the Shared Album.
But I can't achieve this: if I select all the photos/videos [here there are 486 photos & 13 videos], right-click and choose add to album (having previously created the new empty album) I get the error message "The operation couldn't be completed.(PHAssetExportRequestErrorDomain error 2)."
If I try dragging/dropping all the photos into my new Mac album nothing happens.
Alternatively I thought maybe I import all first then make a new album from this import, so again I select all photos, right-click and choose Import. Again nothing gets imported.
Perhaps there is a limit on number of simultaneous photos you can operate on? At any rate it would be good to know the best method of achieving a new album on my Mac from a Shared Photo album.
Thanks anyone,
