New Photos with Sequoia will not save edits Trying to edit a photo in Sequoia's Photos app--brand new machine, just installed two days ago, iMac--and nothing will save. It will always revert. Of course this is my 87 year old father's machine and he uses exactly two apps--Photos and Mail. We've rebooted, etc. etc. Perhaps a known new operating system issue that a patch is to fix? Or somebody has a fix?

Photos App Failing To Update For months now, the Photos People window has had the message "Photos will finish updating your People when you're not using the app." Photos syncs with iCloud, but People updating never finishes. I have left the computer (desktop w/13.2.1) running for days at a time. Sometimes with Photos (v8.0 531.0.100) open and minimized as well as quitting Photos. Neither situation seems to make a difference. Or should I just realize that Photos will never update it's People database?
