Hi - I'm hoping for some guidance. I'm currently on MacBook Air 2019 on Sonoma 14.4 OS and trying to export my photos to an external HD. All of my options to export are greyed out. Has anyone encountered this issue before? I do have the photos synced on iCloud but I'm wiping all my machines to start over and want to pull the photos from the cloud. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.4
How many pictures did you select before doing the export? This is what I see if I haven't yet chosen the pictures to export.
If you want to export all your pictures, you can make a Smart Album with something like this:
(I don't think that I have any pictures taken before 4/7/1776 ! )
If you select that album, then Export will look like this
Does this help?

The only way I was able to replicate this is by NOT highlighting any photos but obviously you would have selected the photos you want export.
Have you tried just dragging the photos from the app into Finder? You'll have less export options but it'll help us narrower down the potential problem.
Thanks for the help. I started dragging over to the external HD. Hoping once the photos are copied I can restore the machine and the issues will be fixed. Thanks again
