Photos library upload stuck/slow/stuck again...?

Hi all,

I downloaded / upgraded to Photos about week and a half ago. I've been looking forward to geting the update and to finally get my whole iPhoto library uploaded and properly synced up with iCloud. I started immediately converting the library as is the procedure and the the wait started....

Its now becoming a joke, I've read a few threads around here and it seems like a lot of people have similar problems but no one seems to have a genuine solution to the problem. I can understand that the process of uploading 79GB may take time but then it gets stuck and sits there without anything happening.

I have tried restarting, disconnect/connect iCloud, repair the library, removed all videos, consolidated all referenced images, removed all RAW files and rebooted numerous times. I still cant seem to get unstuck.

After my latest repair of the library and a restart its now saying its uploading more files than the library contains....***?

Anyone got any ideas...?

I am having similar issues, since lates OS update. I have spent hours with apple care techs (4 different) and even took mac book pro into Genius Bar. My conclusion: my up load speed is too slow, if I pause the Photo up load to iCloud, in photo preferences, my network connection seems fine. If I keep up loading, going on 4th day, my internet connection gets jammed up and intermittent. I have a 15mbps down load and a 1Mbps up load. One tech support guy suggests buy into a faster up load speed, 2mbps minimun or go into Apple Store and up load library there.

Now i question the wisdom of even using the cloud for my photo library. And if i turn off this preference I get the message that I will loose items on my Mac photo library. What's the deal? Should I really be experiencing this issue affecting all my Apple devices on my network?
