Hi


How big is your library. iCloud sync is very slow and the first thing it does is spend time comparing the iCloud library with your local library. if your library is large this can take many days (or even weeks) even with the Mac on 24/7, so it may just be a case of letting it get on with it, leaving your mac on 24/7, connected to power, with photos open and sleep disabled.


For reference, my 50GB 5000 item library took 48 full time hours.
