Internet Connection Required...

When attempting to move photos from the Photos app, to my "Pictures" in Finder, I get the following error message pop up...


Internet Connection Required.


An internet connection is required to download this item for exporting.


I'm connected to the internet, I've turned my router on and off, and turned Wifi on and off on my Macbook, and all seems to be working fine.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.4), null

If you are using iCloud to store Photos, that could account for the internet connection required message when trying to move photos to the Pictures folder.


iCloud: Use the Photos app on iCloud.com

This is not related to iCloud, but well to Photos. I can access my pictures under Photos on iCloud.com, I can retrieve them from the Photos Library, but that's about it.


It is impossible to do anything whether exporting, sharing through email or uploading to a shared album. Each time and whatever I try to do, the "Internet Connection Required" message pops up.


Thanks.
