Suddenly after Years, Disk Utility Can't Make Image from Folder Disk Utility > File > New Image > Image from Folder I always choose 256 bit encryption with compression. Operation failed with status 28: No space left on device This began happening just recently after more than a decade of using this feature to create an encrypted backup of my Quicken file. It started happening before I upgraded my computer and continues to happen on my new computer -- neither of which were/are anywhere near their secondary storage capacity, so the only remaining possibility is that the file size crossed a threshold. Just today, I confirmed this and narrowed it down to this bracket experimentally: WORKS when source folder size is 67.1MB or smaller, target file size is 65.7MB. FAILS when source folder size is 71.1MB; cannot create target file. I suspect that no one has been maintaining this utility at Apple for a long time. This also seems true of certain other MacOS utility programs such as the native Contacts app, which responds incredibly slowly past a certain database size and seems like no one has been responsible for updating and regression testing it for more than a decade. I use native apps when possible with the expectation that, unlike third-party apps which can come and go with the seasons, the native apps will always be available and will always be maintained and kept up to date with the changing environment and usage modes. The first of these two assumptions has held true in my experience but the assumption that they will always be maintained, regression tested and improved has not.

the library could not be opened Hello, I moved my photo library to an external drive. When I plug in the drive and try to open Photos, I get an error message: "the library could not be opened... Photos was unable to open the library "Photos Library photoslibrary". (5600)" If I restart the MacBook, it'll work fine and this used to work fine in previous MacOS versions. If it helps, the drive is a 4TB that's encrypted. I can access everything via Finder, macOS Ventura 13.0.1.

unable to open the library & PHPhotosErrorDomain error 5416 Hi, After updated to MacOS Venture v13.0.1, the Photos.app cannot open the photo libraries about 150GB in the mobile hard disk in ExFAT format, with the error: Photos was unable to open the library “Photos Library.photoslibrary”. (5416) I created a new library, it shows the similar error with code 5416. The operation couldn’t be completed. (PHPhotosErrorDomain error 5416.) Ich can see the photos and videos in the "originals" right clicking "show package contents". However, can you help me to solve the problem? Thank you in advance! Kind regards

Hey there garth45,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand your Mac computer stopped uploading photos and videos. We’d like to gather a bit more info so we can get you the support you need.

To verify, where are you uploading your media? Is this to iCloud or another site or service?

Are you uploading from Finder, Photos, or a different app?

Have you checked that other services that use an internet connection work as expected?

If you haven’t already, try restarting your Mac as that can often resolve issues. Check for any updates as well:

Get back to us with that info and we’ll be happy to continue support.

Take care.
