Photos for Mac behaves VERY strangely since the upgrade to Sierra

Hi all.

I have improved my mid 2010 MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra September 21.

The first time I launched the Photos app after the upgrade, I got the usual message on photo library updated, but when that reaches 100%, I noticed that he was missing a large number of thumbnails in my library. The photos in question were display in miniature (or 'moments') view as pale gray rectangles with a cloud icon in their breast.

I don't immediately panic, because I assumed that they would gradually repopulate for a little while. I got "Storage optimize Mac", the value of preferences so all of my original pictures must be in iCloud. I have a Time Capsule, make automatic backups, and I made a backup Time Machine on which, immediately before the upgrade, so I am reasonably confident that I did not really lose my photos, (and all of my pictures and their thumbnails are present & correct on my iPhone).

But, almost a fortnight after the upgrade, most of my thumb nails is always reported missing since the Photos of Mac application, which makes it very difficult to find pictures of course.

Last night I noticed that the Photos app showed 'Uploading photos 10 985 nnnnnn' at the foot of the view of the times, with the first digit decreases slowly, so I disabled the options to ensure that my Mac doesn't go to sleep and I let it run until the download was complete energy saving. Then, he showed "updated... "at the foot of the view of the times for a while.

I was hoping that my thumb nail would be back after that, but they are not!

It seems that the Photos app is not sync with my iCloud storage, for any reason, or at least if it does not in fact what it has synchronized.

A double click on these thumbnails blank to open the photo is not consistent either. On some that I try to open, they do not open, and when I return to the thumbnail display the thumbnail is now also. But on others I try to open I just see a completely white area where the photo should be. However (and this is really weird!) when I return to the thumbnail display after those I see very very briefly the photos as they will shrink to the size of the thumbnail, and then they are virgins thumbnails with clouds still...

I wonder if I should change the preference of Photos of 'optimization of storage' to 'download the originals' in an effort to recover my thumb nails. It seems that I have almost 62 GB of free space on my Mac, and my Gallery of photos shows that there are currently 31GB. Or do I have to re - install the Photos app? (Is it possible?)

Or is there a better solution to the problem please?

Thank you for all the helpful tips.

try to turn a thumbi = nail and reotating back - if it suits it you can do so for groups of up to about 1000 photos at once to correct quickly - how rebuild thumbnails in a photo library

  • Since the upgrade to Sierra - my CPU runs hot

    Recently, I used the app store to upgrade my MacBook Pro for OSX Sierra.

    From this point forward - my laptop is very hot and fans constantly run like a Jet engine.

    I see this in the activity monitor:

    I put all my contacts to synchronize hourly, and nothing has changed before the upgrade and after.

    How can I fix it? My life of the battery is to be purged, permanently.

    Any help appreciated.

  • Since the upgrade to Sierra, Mail will not recognize or filter spam

    I'm having the problem where almost nothing goes in my junk e-mail folder. I rechecked my mail spam filtering preferences and I have it configured to enable filtering and move the Junk to junk e-mail folder. Those are the only two boxes checked. That the mail comes, I have systematically report as junk, but no matter how many times I do that junk mail is still not reported as spam in the future, nor is it place in my spam box.

  • Since the upgrade to Sierra MediaLibraryService is causing a memory leak

    Hello.

    I upgraded to Sierra, since as soon as Itunes is launched, the com.apple.medialibraryservice is originally a large memory leak, it keeps in ram more until she takes all (16 GB) and significantly slows down the computer.

    I tried to reset the nvram and smc memory, doesn't change anything.

    Does anyone have an idea on what is causing this leak and is there a solution?

    Yes, I noticed this also. After that I opened iTunes, it's just a matter of time before all the memory gets used up and all departure is wobbly. In particular, bluetooth really gets bug after a certain time, and as soon as I quit iTunes, that's fine.

  • First Pro CC moving very slowly since the upgrade to 2015.3

    I've updated the other day to 2015.3 and nothing in trouble have since then. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and even tried to go back to the 2015.2 version, but when I did I couldn't open one of my old projects. When I say that it moves very slowly, it is probably an understatement. It takes about nine minutes to open a project, and 8-9 minutes extra for video clips appear in the library. I'm on Windows 10 with a processor I7 with 16 G of RAM. I have never had any problems with first Pro CC in the past and like it, but this is crazy. So now, I have nine value terabyte of videos that I can't do something with and have eight days before the project is due. It would normally take me a few days to do what I'm trying to do, but at the rate he now travels would take me probably months. I hope I can find a fix quickly before I have to go to another editing software so that I can meet my deadlines.

    I found out with the help if you go into preferences, then to the media and uncheck the box "Enable accelerated h.264 decoding (reboot required) Intel" then he corrects this problem. So if you are shooting with a Sony or anything that uses AVCHD format, then you need to do.

  • Since the upgrade to Sierra, responds the dock

    After upgrading my iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2015) to Sierra, answers the dock (which is not responding to any pointer/mouse clicks) after a few minutes of use.

    I deleted all the login items and provided there is no unnecessary processes running. If I force left the dock, he becomes sensitive after the reboot process. Then after a few minutes she becomes unresponsive. This seems to coincide with the noise of the fan. I tried a reset the PRAM and SMC, but this did not help.

    Everything else is reactive (office/menus/spotlight, siri, etc.).

    Docking station located approximately 147 percent CPU utilization.

    I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas as to what I can do to continue troubleshooting. Thanks in advance.

    You happen to have any antivirus, cleaning or other third party maintenance installed applications?

  • When you create a calendar in Photos for Mac, I can't work on the use of more than one Photo per month

    I created a calendar using Photos for Mac (picture 1,5).

    However, I can't create each month using several photos. It is the first calendar, I've done since the change of iPhoto pictures. I know I used to be able to choose various options for layout, including several photos in iPhoto. I just hope that it is something simple that I forgot.

    Thanks in advance.

    Right-click on a photo placed and select layout options - you have options from one to seven photos here

  • What is a good replacement for Photos for Mac

    I got my photos sorted by year and month in iPhoto, app Photos The destroyed that.  What is a good replacement for Photos for Mac I had digital pictures in 1999.  It will take me months to recover.  So what is a good replacement, needless organized storage edition, just logical.   Is there a product that I can export Photos to the?   The Photos application is too slow and freezes; It's just all around a mediocre product.

    Migrating from iPHoto to Photos doesn't "destroy" anything - it keeps your albums events and converted into albums - pictures 2.0 vs iPhoto 9.6.1: features and capabilities - how many Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

    and of course iPhotos 9.6.1 still works very well - if you do not keep your system up to date see can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

    You can export Photos in keeping the Organization of moments - you can export iPhotos keeping the exporting from iPhoto event organization

    As to products - it's your choice - you can use the finder to organize into folders and preview to display pictures - or you can use one of the many programs available ranging from the free to the very expensive

    I use Photos so am not upward on the different options and I suspect most of the volunteers here are the same and the answer is going to be personal anyway - no one but yo can do
