It was not but even checking doesn't change the freezing when upload.
I'm fed up with Apple,too much troubles.
It's time for cards and calendar and trust me I won't work with Apple anymore.
For now I still have 2 photo albums ready to print 'frozen' in my MAC ,wasted hours of work I'll have to redo the album on another website.
Apparently no help to expect from Apple, what a poor service.
Good luck Tanya with yours.
