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.
#Iphone photos not uploading to mac photos update#
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.
