Q: photo program will not respond

Since the latest update my photo program will not shut down when commanded to do so ~

It keeps giving me a pop up window that states “closing the Library"

 

i think I read something about when sharing with other devices there becomes a issue.

I have stopped iPad and iPhone from sharing with no luck for my Mac...

 

Help!

 

thank

    Photos needs to do a lot of background processing to prepare the Photos Library. Let it run over night to get the setup done after you import new photos, while you are not using your mac. If you are using iCloud Photo Library let it run with a stable internet connection, so it can sync with iCloud.
