After upgrading my MacBook Air, continue to get the message when trying to view latest photos "Syncing with iCloud Paused - Mac Needs to Cool Down" even though it is NOT running hot, there are little to know apps, processes running that would even cause this issue. Only solution seems to be reboot or revisit Photos from my desktop another day (or view on my phone or iPad).
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
It seems to be the fan speed that puts it into cooldown mode, I downloaded an app where I can control the fan speed, and when I put the fan speed on high, Photos says Mac needs to cool down. It seems to be regardless of the processor temperature. So I manually locked my fan speed into 3000, and now it's syncing. The CPU temperature seem to be sitting in the 60 to 70° range and not getting any hotter so I'm gonna call that a win. Apple should really not be referencing the fan speed, it should be referencing the temperature of the sensors.
Come on Apple. Fix this!!
Apple creating situations where you have to upgrade your hardware...... Noooooo - I can't believe it! 🙄
I am running a 2020 MacBook Pro with 2.3 GHz 8 core Intel i9 and I am getting this issue repeatedly. Does Apple have a solution yet?
