I used the new photos app weeks ago and it was working fine, Today, I opened the app, and I can't get past the welcome screen. It is not frozen. I can still open and close the virtual tour. However when I click get started to go into the app, I just get the spinning wheel. I left it there for hours and still no progress. What is it doing?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
These sound like the same issue. I'd be interested to know if a solution has been found.
Solution (worked for me):
Eject any external hard drives, USB drives, SD cards, etc.
Restart your computer.
Be sure to have the latest system updates.
Open Photos and enjoy 🙂
In my case most likely, either the photos on an external SD card, or the Photos library backup on an external drive seemed to freeze everything in the welcome screen.
Thanks ....ejecting SD card worked for me....
New Photos app stuck on welcome screen
