Cannot install Sierra because updating Photos at a standstill

Apparently, the new Sierra OS included an update of Photos.  Started Photos updated first, it worked for ~ 30hours 'building a library '.  Tried to complete installation of Sierra, which requires a reboot - of course all Apps must close to restart, pictures will not close because the library construction!  But now the small progress whirly ball is not swirling and there is no options in the Photos menu-all gray, Photos Version 1.0.1 (215.65.0).  I'm afraid force quit closing snack takes pictures of my 16000 images with it.  Have they the time machine upwards.

Should I force Quits Photos and install the Sierra, then restart photos or is there something else to do?

I'm confused by the title of your topic, then the body of your message.  Did you install Sierra?  Or are you trying to rebuild your current photo library with your current Photos app before moving on to the Sierra? Photo is part of the upgrade of the Sierra and cannot prevent the installation of Sierra.

What is your library?  If it is very large that this moment may be offline.  It is small and because you have a TM backup go and force quit Photos.

Where is your library?  If it's on an external hard drive that is how HD formatted and connected to your Mac?

  • I get a "cannot install printer because a policy has been enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 driver ' how can I install my printer?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 running Vista 32 bit. I just bought a new printer, a HP Photosmart C4640, when I tried to install and connect I get a message indicating that it cannot install printer as a policy has been activated this block driver NT 4.0. I have run all updates of software and drivers, but still get this message. I've been at this for almost a week now. I've been doing the HP race with regard to aid. I am VERY fusturated at this point and desperately need help. What should I do to make this work?

    Hi jessheffernan2003,

    This problem occurs because Windows Vista does not support the installation of kernel-mode printer drivers. Windows Vista only supports installing user mode printer drivers.

    To work around this problem, try to get and install a printer driver as a user on the Windows NT 4.0 computer. If you can not get the particular user mode printer driver, try to get a driver printer in user mode compatible with the kernel mode printer driver which is hosted on the Windows NT 4.0 computer. To get a printer driver updated for the print device, contact the manufacturer of the printer.

  • CANNOT INSTALL ANY WINDOWS UPDATES UNIQUE LANGUAGE 8

    I have a new laptop Windows 8 unique language. I tried to install updates without success.

    No error message

    Windows Installer: Installation Preparation - it runs for 'hours' no download or installation of updates.

    To see if she could take a long time because the total amount of updates are + - 700 MB, I tried to install/upgrade to update only a 43 k Update (security update Cumulative for ActiveX Killbits for Windows 8 for x 64 systems (KB2900986) - the download size: 43 KB.)  After 30 minutes, I stopped the installation as it shows only: prepare for installation

    I can't upgrade to Windows 8.1 without updates.

    My anti-virus updated fine, however no Microsoft updates don't want to download and install.

    No other Internet connection issues, etc.

    Data sheet:

    I5, third generation of processor.

    8 GB RAM

    Windows 8 unilingual, recorded.

    Help, please.

    Hi, thanks for the comments.

    I tried the method, but it has not fixed the problem.

    With respect to method 2, I bought the laptop with Windows 8 by-installed, so no DVD with the software.  I made contact with the distributor of the computer (Samsung), but the first reaction was to get a new version of Windows 8.1 and as they say, the unique language of Windows 8, which has been installed, although the real is a 'gift' and therefore they cannot provide the DVD.  I contacted both Microsoft and there response also had to buy a new license.  I can not fully used this problem as the update seems to be 'corrupted '.

    I noticed that the Proxy has been set to auto detect the Proxy settings.  I turned it off and some of the patches installed.  However, most hotfixes do not install and the same issue occur when trying to install.

    I always do if something goes wrong.

    Kind regards.

    Hi mlzla,

    I hope you do well.

    No, if you do an upgrade on the spot, you will lose any program. The on-site upgrade process will take around an hour or two. It is very useful.
