Photos shuts down while I'm making a book. Also, it's very hard to navigate.

Photos shuts down about every 20 minutes when I'm making a book. Also, it won't stay on a page I'm trying to edit and it's difficult to select fonts.

ARe you using aps in the book? Both iPhoto and Photos are having problems with maps. For Photos, there have been reports that it can crash, if you add more than one map to a book.


if the problem occurred first after you changed fonts in your book, check your system for duplicate fonts. Duplicate fonts can cause the system to be unstable.

I'm not using maps but where would I find duplicate fonts in the system? On every page, it comes up Avenir and I change it to Century Gothic. Thanks!

Use the Font Book application, that should be installed by default. It will list duplicate fonts.

Or download Etrecheck and run it. It is an AppleScript that will screen your Mac for software that can destabilize the system and reports potentially critical third-party additions or incompatible software: https://etrecheck.com/#download

I haven't worked on Photos for a couple of days - that's why I haven't answered your question. But, within 1 minute of starting it up today, here's part of the error message I got when it crashed:

This part in the crash log looks like a data error. A missing file in your Photos Library, or the Photos application, or the installed book themes.


Test, if it is a problem with your current Photos library by creating a new library for testing and trying to make a book in the new library.

If Photos will crash on the new library as well, make the same test in a different user account, see this link: Isolating an issue by using another user account


  • If Photos is crashing in a different user account as well, reinstall the system. Only that will reinstall the Photos.app.
  • If Photos is not crashing in a different user account, but not working well on a different library either, remove Photos's caches in the Containers folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/Data/Library/Caches

that stores data to pass to other services.


I'd delete the complete folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/ and restart the Mac, then try again.


Your user library may still be hidden.To reveal the hidden User Library:

  • Bring the Finder forward by clicking on the Desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
  • Select your user/home folder (with the house icon in the Finder sidebar)
  • With that Finder window as the front window, press the key combination ⌘J to bring up the View options.
  • In the View options panel enable ’Show Library Folder’. That will make your user library folder visible in your Home folder.
  • Open your Home folder, then the Library folder, then Containers.
  • Move the complete folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos to your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the contents.

Now restart the Mac and try again. If all is well, delete the folder from the Desktop.

If Photos is only crashing on your current Photos Library, post back.
