Back up your library

Before following any of these steps, it's a good idea to create a backup of your photo library, even if you use iCloud Photos. You can use Time Machine, use a third-party backup solution, or copy the library to an external drive. By default, your photo library is stored in the Pictures folder within your home folder.

To call the Force Quit Applications window press Command+Option+Esc on your Mac keyboard. This shortcut will open this window, where you can select running apps and close them. Also, you can call the Force Quit window using the Menu Bar: Click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your desktop. Use the Media Browser to make images from your photo library available in other apps, like Pages and iMovie. The Media Browser shows only the contents of the Photos library designated as the System Photo Library. If you have more than one Photos library—and the one you're using isn't set as the System Photo Library—the Media Browser won't. Design Space says 'Please remove the exclusive content' Design Space says 'Please exit the running Cricut application' Design Space shows 'machine is already in use' when using my Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker machine; My Mac says that the software is from an unidentified developer, or that the app is damaged. The App store shows notification for pending app updates but when you click and try to process the updates, it prompts you to Sign in and after you enter your credentials, nothing happens. The best thing to try and fix this issue is to sign out and then sign back in. Click on  System preferences Apple ID Choose Overview on the left.

Make sure that your software is up to date

Photos is part of the Mac operating system. You can avoid or fix many issues by running the most up-to-date version of macOS. Learn more about updating the software on your Mac.

If you use RAW images in Photos, learn more about the digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

If you have trouble migrating an existing iPhoto or Aperture library to Photos

You might see an alert message when you first open Photos or migrate an existing iPhoto or Aperture library. Learn what to do if Photos can’t copy or create a library.

If the Media Browser isn't showing your photos and videos

Use the Media Browser to make images from your photo library available in other apps, like Pages and iMovie. The Media Browser shows only the contents of the Photos library designated as the System Photo Library. If you have more than one Photos library—and the one you're using isn't set as the System Photo Library—the Media Browser won't show its contents.

Follow these steps to designate the current library as the System Photo Library:

1. Choose Photos > Preferences.
2. Click the General button at the top of the Preferences window.
3. Click Use as System Photo Library.

If you're having other issues with Photos

If you're experiencing other issues—like missing or blank photo thumbnails, unexpected behavior, or if Photos won’t open—try to see if it's an issue with your library by following these steps.

Create a new Photos library and see if your issues persist:

1. Quit Photos.
2. Press and hold the Option key while you open Photos.
3. In the dialog that appears, click Create New.
4. Give your new library a name, then click OK. Note whether Photos opens successfully with this new library.

To return to your main Photos library, quit Photos. Then open it again while holding the Option key, select your main library, and click Choose Library.

Alternatively, you can open Photos in another user account on your Mac and note whether Photos opens successfully.
