photo file export errors

When I try an export a photo to a desktop folder, or the desktop itself, I get this error message: "Export Complete with Errors

0/1 files have been exported to: desktop

The export operation failed to create a file for the photo identified below:


FILENAMES ERRORS: "Could not load image"

This is a new problem. I've never had exporting problems before. I have Photos version 1.5


Advice please. Thank you.......lisa

So the problem is not exporting at all but you seem to be using iCloud Photo Library and Photos cannot download the original from iCloud.


  • Are you running low on storage on your Mac? The reason could be that Photos has no free storage to store the photo.
  • If you are running out of iCloud Storage, iCloud will no longer work reliably, until you free storage in iCloud.
  • A very common problem with the access to iCloud is, that you need to be connected to Wi-Fi (not a cellular connection) and some VPN connections, firewalls, and Antivirus software like Kaperski or Little Snitch may be blocking the connection to the iCloud Servers, i.e, if you are running macOS 10.13 High Sierra.


Which version of MacOS X is running on your Mac?
