It’s been more than a week that my photos are stuck at downloading originals (from iCloud). It did download the majority at first but now it’s stuck at the same number.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16
I had the same problem. Photos just stopped downloading originals at a point. Pause/resume did not work, nor restarting Photos, killing the photo library demon processes, logging out or even rebooting macOS.
I finally noticed that the disk space was rather low, so presumably the function stopped for this reason without further information on the cause. After freeing some space it automatically continued downloading until all originals were stored locally.
Apple should add an informative message in Photos when this happens.
PS: Sorry, I just saw that your question is about iOS Photos, whereas my problem was with macOS. But maybe the underlying reason is similar.
No. I'll try. But every time I update, something else changes. So I avoid it. I have Sonoma 14
Thank you Montaz for solving the problem that six Apple senior advisors weren’t able to solve.
Hi Montaz, I have done that but it says I need an internet connection to complete download but I am connected to the internet...... any ideas?
