0 Photos Scanned I have 90,058 photos. I click People and it shows 0 Photos scanned. Been like this since I recently had to log out of iCloud to fix an unrelated email problem. My photos synch with iCloud and my Mac and iPhone. The whole library is showing again on my Mac now that the images have re-dowloaded. Have been running Ventura for about 4 weeks. Some photos taken on iPhone have faces assigned, assume iPhone worked it out. Photos taken on Canon camera and imported aren't scanned. Question 1, how do I force Photos on Mac to start scanning, I obviously can't go through 90,000 photos? It would be highly advantageous if the app showed where it was up to so I/we knew if it was actually working. Question 2, when clicking people it says Photos will continue scanning your remaining 90,058 photos when you're not using the app and your Mac is connected to power. Does this mean the app has to be Open or Closed? As in Open but not being used, or Closed? I've left Mac on for days, and tried leaving app open and closed and it continues to say 0 Photos Scanned. Question 3, I have 338 People with faces assigned from previous scanning. Does anybody happen to know how to automatically put them in alphabetical order? Dragging is very time consuming.

Hi abeelan,

Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

We understand that you're seeing more photos of people than are in your Photo Library.

Although we are unable to speculate specifically where the extra photos came from, you can also import photos from other apps on your Mac such as Mail and Messages for example. You can learn more about importing photos here: Import photos from Mail, Safari, and other apps into Photos on Mac

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
