Installed Catalina on a 2018 Macbook Pro. Ran photos and it has been sitting at :"gathering favorites, detecting duplicates, curating best photos, composing layout, etc." about 30% complete without progress bar moving for the last 30 mins. How long should it take to setup Photo's in Catalina?
Had the same problem. Photos stuck on 80-90 % for 4 days. 45000 photos and about 1100 videos in library. Today a had a little time to do some debugging. Noticed that I had 3 old avi movies in the video library that was not supported (i.e. they would not play). Deleted them from the library and voilá, Photos finished “curating....” in seconds. This worked for both my 2016 Macbook Pro and an older 2012 iMac that both had been stuck at the same percentage for 4 days. How I wish Apple would just put up an error message and tell me which files are the problem...
Has been stuck at 90% for weeks —- Apple Support has tried valiantly but no success HELP
How do you find corrupted photos and videos
Did you eaven read what was written before or did you just go to the last page of the thread?
An answer to that question was posted before in this thread.
Give it a search..
Can't thank you enough for your help
Hundreds of my photos are Scanes using Photomyne app on my iPad.
I then move them to my laptop external hard drive.
Would this be called corrupt photos?
I have done the same and now awaiting return phone call—-this has gone on for weeks
Really sick of it
Could you please share the MacPhotos.configprofile file?
I would like to take a look to the report file generated by photos.
Thank you
I'm about to update also, but I'm not very optimistic.
I'll report later, fingers crossed, good luck
Also for me, no positive impact from update. The process is still very slow. Now are 14 days of analyzing.... etc and about 30% done
Same luck here.
Bravo Apple, 17 pages of people with this problem and they are not able to fix it.
How did you ever stumble across which files were affecting it?
About 20 hours since my last post, and number remaining remains at 4,236.
Thank you for keeping us updated
Let's hope that Apple resolves this thing.
One question: where do you see how many items are remaining?
I have left curating s Apple Support informed me that a future new update would fix this????
Photo's stuck on Catalina?
