[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1834753, member: 396914"] Bob's suggestion is the solution. The sync of Photos to iCloud is very slow because it runs with very low priority deep in the background. I recently had 9000 images take three weeks to finish sync. I never found a way to accelerate the process. I finally just left Photos running overnight every night and waited it out. As a lesson to be learned from this, when you do the next upgrade, restore the Mac Photos from the backup, not from iCloud. That way you at least have all of the photos to work with and if the sync takes weeks, it doesn't hurt so much. Also, set the Energy Saver settings in System Preferences to keep the Mac awake. I let the display turn off after a few minutes, but have the "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" checked and "Enable Power Nap..." OFF. Also don't let the hard drives sleep. Once the sync is done, you can restore whatever you want for Energy Savings. [/QUOTE]
