Q: Upgraded to El Capitan - Photo conversion stuck at 24%
I have a late 2009 Mac. 12gb RAM. Was running 10.7.5. Just upgraded to El Capitan this morning. I went to run Photos and it began to prepare the library. It's been stuck on 24% complete for over 6 hours now. It got to 24% relatively quickly, then nothing. I have about 8,000 photos on my computer that i used to view in iPhoto.
I've read a few other posts on this topic, but need some more help. I can't restart the computer b/c it asks me to quit Photo. However, Photo won't allow itself to quit while in the process of creating or opening a library. So i really can't seem to do anything at all.
I do have everything backed up on an external drive via Time Machine. Although i don't know the process to grab those files and how to move them around.
If anyone can help me figure out how to resolve this "hung" issues, i'd be most grateful.
Thank you.
