Photos app stuck @ 12%
Photos app says it is preparing library on first use but gets stuck at 12%. I have restarted 3 times trying to fix the problem and it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Mine is stuck at 19% - its taken 5 hours to get to that level - I was trying to import an Aperture Library. I have now had to Force Quit and plan to leave the Aperture Library as it is for now and trying importing only a few photos into a new Photos Library. Frankly this is a mess - I thought it was out of beta. Likewise any ideas would be welcome.
I never got past 1% after an hour. So I just did a Force Quit.
I found that the estimated time to import a new library was quite inaccurate but I also found that in one case I had a problem with my Aperture library. So you might try repairing the Aperture library or the iPhoto library and see if that fixes your import problem.
I Was stuck at 25%. After a few attempts, with it sticking each time, I deleted the new Photos library and opened Aperture. I emptied the Aperture recycle bin and let Aperture rebuild the library as I quit. I then went back and started afresh in Photos. This time it worked fine, importing the 12.5 Gb library in less than an hour.
TThanks for letting me know my idea worked.
