There are stills and videos along the bottom of the Photo Booth screen. If they are the problem, is there a way to purge them? (Or save and remove?)


Or is there some other system problem?

I have added "all administrators" to my identity and previous one. ("staff" and "everyone" are "read only.")


On the dropdown menu, "Revert Changes" is no longer grayed out but "Apply to Enclosed Items" still is, with the lock unlocked.

Photo Booth still sending that error message.


(I'm a little shy to post a screenshot showing my username, etc. Is there a secure way to do that?)
