My MacBook Pro Photo app is stuck!

Hello... I have a MacBook Pro (which I love).  The other day I went to open my "Photos" application and the home page came.  I know that sometimes there are major updates if this happens.  I clicked on the button "get started" and since then he's stuck with the circling icon on the home page (don't know what it's technical term is).  I am to tinkle on the 'take a quick tour' and see the tower but other while he's stuck and it's been almost 3 days.  I have lots of pictures on my macbook and was not able to make a good backup for several months.  I'm worried that I lost all my photos.

Why it takes so long?  Any suggestions on what to do?  I tried force quitting the program and starting over.

Help, please!

Thank you

This is the Office Mac Pro forum. The exact location is:

I asked that your post be moved there.

When you first open pictures can take a while for photos to iPhoto to import.

  • How to save the MacBook Pro Photo library

    I am eager to help a friend to back up its Photo library of his MacBook Pro on a USB key. The Mac will be erased once the process is complete. Can someone give me a step by step guide how to keep safe all the photos of his library is supported if she can transfer it to a new Mac?

    One option would be to use the Google Photos. You can download the Google Photos to your MacBook Pro and iPhone app, and it backs up all the photos. Don't have free unlimited storage so no need to worry about losing all of them.

    See photos.google.com for more information.

  • Copy and save photos from Iphoto on Macbook Pro photos

    I spent hours trying to work on this simple operation, but nothing helped.

    Only start just using Photos, Iphoto, etc. of cloud so jargon is a little confused and I'm a newbie to how it all works, despite searches it seems to be no simple explanation.

    I think I'm the handle, but I am aware that if I uploaded my pictures from the camera to my Ipad and it goes into the Photo Album, backed up in the cloud - that if I delete it the iPad I have not these photos anywhere else and the card of the camera has been cleared.

    I just want to save all the pictures that are now on my Ipad to travel (not on my camera more), backed up in the cloud — but nowhere else.  I want to be able to save copies of the size of all these photos and keep them on my Macbook Pro or backup on an external hard drive.

    How can I do this?  I don't want them to end up in the Photos on my Macbook - I want just store them as a backup in images or use an external usb key to save.  Why is it so difficult?  Surely if there was the option of backup on an external hard drive, it would be much easier to use.  I am afraid that I do not trust just by using the Cloud, where I accidentally erase my iPad - I need another backup physical to be able to work with.

    If your photos are now in iCloud photo library, you can download them to your computer from the web interface for iCloud.

    Open a browser window on your computer and open the page web www.icloud.com.

    Connect with your AppleID to iCloud.

    Launch the Photos.app at this web page.

    Click on "Select", and then select all the photos. Then click on the download button.

    To select a range of photos at a time click on the first picture, hold down the SHIFT key, click the last photo of the range.

  • Sharing Albums not showing is not on MacBook Pro Photos

    When I opened the Photos on my laptop (macbook pro), I don't see my albums shared in the left column. I have in the past, but they went. How to make a comeback? iCloud photo sharing is turned on. (Why find Photos Apple so hard when everything else is so easy?)

    Check, if you shared albums hidden.  There is a "Show/hide" hidden to the right of the "Shared" title control The pointer there to reveal.

    Click on 'Show', if this option is available.

    If the title "Shared" does not show at all, check, if the shared Albums are enabled in your Photos > Preferences > iCloud.  If Yes, but records do not show, disable iCloud, sharing in system preferences > iCloud, then restart the Mac and reactivate the iCloud, photo sharing.

  • MacBook Pro (2014) Apps gel

    Laptop bought in 2014, but barely used until recently. Trouble with apps from freezing. Duty to force quit mail, preview, browser, etc and restart several times a day. Ran disk utility and no problems have been reported there. Don't know what other diagnosis I can run.

    Work on a 15 "MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2).

    Because it's a used machine you need to completely repartition the drive and reinstall your software and the OS X system from scratch.

    Install OS X using the recovery network

    Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

    Start on the recovery of the network server:

    Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the COMMAND + OPTION + R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15 - 20 minutes - until the main recovery menu appears.

    Partition and format the hard disk:

    1. Select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.
    2. After load of THE select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entrance Out-dented with the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click the Partition tab in the main window of THE.
    3. Under the scheme of titled Volume set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete. To leave and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.

    This should restore the version of OS X, originally installed on the computer. You can restore your software by installing only the software you have purchased. You may not use the software for the previous owner.

  • New MacBook Pro - photos cannot 'fix' library of Time Machine

    Hello.  I recently got a new Macbook Pro.  I have "" everything from my old macbook pro using my TimeMachine upward.  Everything seems to go well except...  When I opened the Photos I get a message that the library should be "repaired".   When the repair process is 95%, I get another message indicating that the library is not repairable.     I always have backups Time Machine and tried to restore the photo library, but it does the same thing.  I don't have access to the old computer.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.  I have pictures in iCloud, but download here sounds a lot of time.

    Thank you!

    I have pictures in iCloud, but download here sounds a lot of time.

    So, you might start with an empty photo library and let the pictures to download from iCloud. If you restore the library of Photos of Time Machine, Photos will be anyway download the complete library restored to iCloud and sync and compare. It will take the same time to synchronize again restored library.  The difference is, that the restored library will have all your projects - books, calendars, cards and all thumbnails of faces. If you download the library from iCloud, projects will be missing and thumbnails of faces. You will only have keywords searchable faces.

    I always have backups Time Machine and tried to restore the photo library, but it does the same thing.

    Where did you have restored the library? For an external drive or the pictures folder?

  • Installation on Surface Pro photo App question

    Hey guys & Gals,

    I have a Surface Pro running Windows 8. I can't find (on the Surface) or download the pre-installed camera App (from the store). When I search the Surface the App is not downloaded and when I go to the Store, the App are in the section "applications installed on this PC. Once I click in the App in the store, it always gives me the option to install the application. I select install and it never installs. Because I can't find it on the Surface I'm unable to uninstall and reinstall. I don't get an error message. The App says to install in the upper right corner of the Bank for 2-3 seconds before disappearing. I tried the following steps to try to resolve the problem:

    -tried to install it from the search option in the store, from Apps option installed in the store and Apps not installed on this PC. All installation options are available, but the application won't install,

    -J' ran WSRESET.

    -J' checked and confirm my region, the location settings and clock.

    -Have a MS on the Surface and the same account is registered in the store,

    -can download other applications,

    -The surface is completely up to date with all the latest updates,

    -Ran the App troubleshooting tool,

    -Licenses are synchronized,

    -Removed my account MS the http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=262691 cloud synchronization settings,

    -I am able to set up a second account 'Test' on the Surface and properly install the software on the VAC.

    -When I use my 'Test' account in the store on my main account, I am unable to download the app and I have the option to install all the time.

    I won't have to refresh/reset my Pro that I have installed programs that I don't want to lose or reinstall (product keys). The WSRESET tool resets the cache in the store. Is there a way to reset the cache local App that can solve this problem? It seems to me that the store and the Surface do not properly communicate with respect to this application, as we think it is downloaded and the other do not think it is downloaded. I have exhausted all my known troubleshooting steps and any help would be appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Sean

    Hi Sean,.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing.

    As you said that you are able to install the application on the Test account, it seems that the main account is corrupted.

    I recommend you follow the steps below to solve the problem:

    Step 1:

    Activate the built Admin account. Follow these steps:

    a. press Windows key + X together on your desktop screen.

    b. click command prompt (admin).

    c. type: net user administrator /active: Yes

    Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable the administrator account after the diagnosis is made

    After activating the administrator built-in, please try the steps below:

    Step 2:

    The built in Administrator account to create a new user account and transfer the profile data.

    Please follow the steps below to do so:

    a. press Windows key + X set and select Windows Explorer.

    b. click on the view tab and click Options in the upper right.

    c. click on the view tab and then click on display the drives, folders and hidden files.

    d. uncheck the box which States thatHide protected operating system files.

    e. click Yes to confirm, and then click OK.

    f. look for the file C:\Users\Old_Username, where C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and the old username is the name of the profile you want to copy the files.

    g. Select all files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

    Ntuser.dat

    Ntuser.dat.log

    Ntuser.ini

    h. right click and select copy.

    i. find the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and the new username is the name of the new user profile you created.

    j. right click in the folder and select Paste.

    k. restart your PC and check if you are able to connect to the default profile.

    Hope this solves the problem. If the problem persists, you can write to us and we will be happy to help you further.

  • My iPhone 5 s stopped automatically transfer photos to MacBook Pro

    Just after that I got some 'experts' try to help me to use a new system AV, my iPhone is no longer automatically transfer my photos from iPhoto on my MacBook Pro photo stream. I got some tips on the forum that seems to work, but it has stopped working. I think that I only have a bad setting on the Mac or the iPhone. When I try to connect the two, I get a message that says "the network is not available." Can I fix it, or I have to go to the Apple Store?

  • MacBook Pro locks up in Safari

    The short problem is my MacBook Pro (end of 2013), and my co-workers 2011 MacBook Air have experienced two camera while Safari is running. Without warning of the shutdown of computers... the mouse still works, but text and clicking on do not work. It usually lasts a minute or two and the keyboard buffer works when he wakes up. Reboot also clears.

    But this week my MacBook Pro locked and is stuck. Reset don't affect it. I would be left to the user with a mobile slider page and no clicks or keyboard function. The only change is the addition of a new Trackpad Apple replace my magic mouse.

    I ' d up call apple support and after resetting the PR and a few other things, the collective decision was the computer had a software problem preventing us to solve using equipment. They suggested an Apple repair center. At that point I had to accept.

    My wife asked the new trackpad... which at that time was off and I was using the cushion on the MacBook. She suggested trying the magic mouse, and when I turned it on I return control of the mouse. I have re-installed immediately OS - X and for about a day, I have not had any problems.

    Then yesterday I had another episode of 30 second freeze.

    Any ideas or suggestions?  I don't think it's material, or I wouldn't be typing this. I went a day now, after the last frost without any problem. But I would have preferred that they don't come back too.

    Thank you.

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - activate the menu to develop it, then go ahead and empty Caches. Quit/relaunch Safari and test. Then try Safari/history/Show History and remove all items from the history.  Quit/relaunch Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History... The downside is that it deletes all cookies. It could upset some sites no longer recognizes your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Caches.db, and then move it to the trash.

    Go to Safari preferences/Extensions and disable all extensions. Test. If correct, enable the extensions one by one until find you which extension is causing the problem.
