MacBook M2 - When using Messages - If I try to add a photo using the Photo icon i get message Unable to Load Items

[FishermanMac]

I can select photos in my libraries and share them with message.

I 'ran 'repair' on the library.

I can load items on my iPhone.

I updated iCloud.

macOS is Ventura 13.4.1

My daughter has the same MacBook and hers works fine.

THX for any advice!

I have actually had this problem once before.

Try this..

1. Quit Messages.
2. Open up Photos.
3. Under the Photos menu, go to the Settings.
4. Under General click on the button that says Use as System Photos Library.
5. Close the Photos Settings.
6. Open Messages and try to add a Photo using the Photos icon.
