Reluctantly because if I edit the iCloud library from anywhere else than from my Mac, I don't know if the deletion will cause the Mac to think that it has an older library all together and substitute the entire content from the cloud. I deleted it reluctantly (also from the bin - I have a copy to re-upload) and we'll see what happens. 7962 in the iCloud Photo Library! Unless I time travelled with my dad some 6000 years ahead and he rides a horse, this must be wrong. But this will not work for a very large library, if we are currently uploading the complete library. If the library is small, or we are just trying to upload a few new photos, we can also look at the most recent photos on the webpage and check, which photos already made it into iCloud. It's so long that it's difficult to be useful. The list remained the same after the safe/normal reboot (from what I can remember by looking at the previews). The list was 21 videos and about 1,400images long. You could try to check for the photos waiting to be uploaded by looking into the Library package in the Finder. I hoped that this will do the trick, but see below. Then it changed to 'Updating 1,255 items.' Then it changed to '78.000images, 4,700videos updating.' and I've been seeing this for a couple of hours.

When I first started Photos it said in the bottom something like 'Last update March 25th' Well I had restarted my Mac, but not in safe mode and back in normal mode like you propose. Hey léonie, your comments are always very helpful! Fix their dates once imported if necessary.Īrm yourselves with a lot of patience! This is the only way to fix this until Apple decides to make a decent Photos and iCloud product that doesn't get stuck and shows update progress, has debugging options, skips problematic files, keeps a record of upload errors, allows user to force-sync etc etc. When your sync finishes, import your videos and photos from your temporary folder to your library one by one so as to check if they can be uploaded.Repeat all steps above as necessary if sync gets stuck again.

Double check that these files are now missing from your upload cache (using 'find' etc).

Might need to wait a bit, but the safe/normal boot sequence above helps start the sync.

Open Photos app, scroll down in photos, see if uploads/downloads sync has started.

Shut down Mac - start in safe mode - shut down again - turn on normally.

See also photos in the cache, if you see something awkward (broken images, crazy file formats etc) do the same as above for them too.

Delete them also from the 'recently deleted' folder in your library. Note their dates (because this information is lost).

Export them from your library 'as unmodified originals' (file menu) to a temporary folder that you will create for this purpose.

See especially all videos starting from the oldest and try to locate their respective originals in your library.

Open upload cache according to leonie's instructions (using 'find' etc).

Thanks to leonie's post here this is the order of operations and it needs a lot of work: Note that my Mac has the library exactly as I want it (not the iCloud, yet) and the last thing I will do is to purge my Mac's library and wait for the iCloud's uncorrected one to be downloaded back to the Mac.

Checked for 'Problem photos' - I created a smart album with all the photos that cannot be uploaded to the iCloud - guess what: it has zero files inside.

Pause/resume - I've done it for half an hour or so, still no uploads, still no update of dates in corrected files.

Changed WiFi - I read somewhere that some routers have custom ports settings due to other hardware at home, so I tried my other WiFi (yes I have two).

Waited - may nights the Mac is on (only the screen is off) and always next day no progress has been made despite the fact that many photo demons show to have been working all night in Activity Monitor history.

Furthermore, my mobile devices have many videos with uncorrected dates - they all show up very recently on the timeline, whereas they were created much earlier (and their dates were painfully corrected in the Mac library). and I was about to enjoy their content from my mobile devices, but uploading has stuck to 2,726 remaining items. I have some 78,000 pics and 4,700 videos which I copied to my Mac Photos library after weeks of work, fixing their dates, converting some old formats, grouping them in albums, adding keywords and descriptions, etc.
