Q: SHARE BUTTON NOT WORKING
Hi,
I have been using Macbook pro with El Capitan OS for some time now. All of a sudden in the last few days, i found that the Share ( the small square box with an arrow), does not respond at all!!!
earlier I used to use this for sharing the pictures, notes and other things, directly to the mail client.
Now it just hangs and does not respond. I have to force quit the app - say if was using Photos, and tried sharing a photo by mail, this would just hang and nothing would happen. I have to go to the preferences and Force quit the Photo app, only then i can come out of the situation!!
So, can any one help on this and advise what went wrong all of a sudden!> any tips would be welcome
