IOS iphone, updating photo library is very slow
both on my iphone 4s and ipad 2.
takes more than 5mins on every time updating. Thus, I need to wait a very long time on every time opening iphoto on my iOS devices.
any way to solve this problem?
Thanks.
The fewer photos you have on your iPad the less time it takes to update the photo library. Probably not the answer you want to hear but that's the way it is for iPhoto for iOS right now.

Updating iTunes library is very slow
My iTunes library lives on an external drive, so when I'm away from my desk at home, my MacBook Pro defaults back to the internal drive if I use iTunes while disconnected from the main library. Before the 7.2 upgrade this workflow worked fine: I would mount my external drive with my library, reset the library location in iTunes prefs, and iTunes would go about "Updating iTunes library" after which I could consolidate to copy over anything I added while not connected to the external drive.
Since the 7.2 upgrade, updating the library is EXTREMELY slow. Granted my library is large (300GB), but the procedure used to take at most a few minutes, and now after 7.2 it is more like 15 minutes. Any ideas why? I'm also open to suggestions for a better workflow for handling an external library, and reconciling it with my MacBook.
I appreciate your help!Hi
I am having the same issue - what's interesting is I thought it was how I connect to the external drive with all my music on it - currently I connect to a newer model airport extreme with a lacie 1T drive attached. joined to that network is an airport express through which i play music (connected to a stereo).
like you, updating my itunes library took a minute or 2, now it takes over 15 minutes. not cool. also my library is only 180GB.
you asked how to manage music on multiple drives, one program i use is called "folder sync" and with it i can make sure anything i've added gets put into the larger library on the external drive...i do this to the album artwork folder too BTW. -
IPhoto on iPhone never completes Updating Photo Library
Tried about 10 times.
After opening iPhoto, it attempts to Update Photo Library. It gets about 3/4 way done and then quits.
(I do have a LOT of photos, probably about 20,000 on my phone)
iPhone 4S 64GB, IOS 5.1I guess I simply had to many photos.
They were all from my iPhoto library on my computer. I synced my my iPhone to my computer and deleted most of them. I can put the photos back on later.
Iphoto is working now. -
Downloaded OS 10.10. Was instructed to download iPhone 9.6. After 9.6 was downloaded iPhoto requested to update photo library which it will not do. How do I upgrade the photo library?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

i have an ipod touch 4g(ios 6.0.1).when i updated it, it became very slow so i want to downgrage it to ios 5.1. i feel it was better at that time. so, i want to downgrade it to ios 5.1. please help me.
Downgrading iOS levels is not supported by Apple.
iOS 6 levels should run fine on your iPod Touch 4g but you should first update to iOS 6.1.2 which is the latest to see if that helps your problem. -
Having trouble with the iOS 8.1.1 download. Very slow. Just keeps saying preparing update for about 4 hours now. Help
Hello there, Cmm405.
If you're updating your iPad with an over-the-air iOS update, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some practical steps for troubleshooting some of the issues that can arise:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
In your instance, these sections may prove particularly useful:
Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
Update does not complete
If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
Constantly Updating Photo Library
On both my "new" iPad and my iPhone, it's driving me to drink. About every 5-10 minutes, when I'm working in iPhoto on either device, all of a sudden, it starts doing its "Updating Photo Library" thing and that stops me from working. It is very, very annoying. I looked at tech articles and the last few days here in this subject area and haven't spotted any information.
Does anyone have any clue as to what causes this? And, if so, if there is anything that I can do bring it down to a bearable frequency? TIA.
(P.S. Looked at a couple suggestions that showed up on the right after I posted. Those users had problems syncing. I didn't originally nor have I had any problems syncing.)This is a common occurrence and there is no way I know of to stope the updating of the library. Any changes to the photo library will result in updating in iphoto for iOS. You can leave feedback on this to Apple here:

I recently upgraded my three year old ipad to IOS 8 and it's working very slow and sometimes freezes. Can I go back to the old system?
No, downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.
You could see if any of the following improve things :
- closing apps via the iPad's taskbar : iOS: Force an app to close.
- if having problems with Safari, clearing its history and data : Settings > Safari
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
- backing up (and copying any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) and restoring
- adjusting settings e.g. turning 'reduce motion' on (Settings > General > Accessibility), turning off 'background app refresh (Settings > General), turn off multitasking gestures (Settings > General)
- resetting back to factory defaults (after copying off purchases and any documents, photos etc that you want to keep) and then resyncing it back -
Problem description:
(MacBook Pro 15” late 2008, OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 installed, no pending updates) computer is running very slow - takes 2-3 minutes to open apps such as Pages, even when no other apps are open. Randomly freezes and becomes unresponsive, requiring forced power down. Randomly logs off. Removed Kodak AIO software via Clean My Mac2, but BonjourAgent still there and requesting access. Cleaned weekly with Clean My Mac2 and running Sophos AntiVirus. 2GB memory installed. Currently 169.99 GB available of 249.2 GB capacity.

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

The msg of "Updating photo LIbrary " pop up and it takes about 30 mintues to update
I ve the iphoto for pad and i have over 10000 photo in it, but..everytime i start using the app, the msg of "Updating photo LIbrary " pops up and it takes about 20 mintues to update....and after the update, anyone facing the same problem?
Chris,
I agree with you that it would be nice for iPhoto for iOS to only update the edited photos and the camera roll when updating the photo library. Or perhaps check for other areas quickly and update only new albums. But at present iPhoto seems to look through the entire photo library when updating. If you have numerous photos on your iPad the updating takes longer. You may not agree that that's a good thing but it is the way it is. Having fewer photos will result in shorter update times.
The time it takes to update the photo library seems based on how many photos you have and not how much space you had on your iPad. We agree that this is not a good thing but again, that's the way it is right now. -
Im stuck on "Updating Photo Library" why
I install the App two weeks ago. I tried to install and reinstall and restart phone etc etc. It is always stuck on "Updating Photo Library"
The App has never opened?? can I get a refund?
SteveWhen iPhoto is stuck on updating iPhoto library, it usually means, that there is a problem with photo in your camera roll or albums created in the Photos app.
When you launch iPhoto the first time, it tries to collect all albums, photo stream, photos in the camera roll and builds an iPhoto library from this. If you only are seeing an empty library, the problem is probably with the Photos.app and not with iPhoto, i.e., since reinstalling iPhoto did not help. Either one of the photos or videos in your camera roll or photo stream is unreadable, or there is a problem with the albums in the photos.app.
You could try if saving all photos to a computer and deleting all photos from the iPhone will solve this, or you could backup the contents of the iPhone to iTunes and restore the iPhone to factory settings. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Unfortunately can the Photos.app not be reinstalled on its own, since it is comes as part of the operating system installation. -
hi all.When pressed play and make some changes in loop (eg fade in fade out) are very slow to implement, and also the loops from the library are very slow to play, corrects the somewhat self so is the Logic??
Hey there Logic Pro21,
It sounds like you are seeing some odd performance issues with Logic Pro X. I recommend these troubleshooting steps specifically from the following article to help troubleshoot what is happening:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Verify that your computer meets the system requirements for Logic Pro X
See Logic Pro X Technical Specifications.
Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
Open the Mac App Store
Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Problem updating photo library
I just upgraded my eMac to Leopard, and now am trying to upgrade it to iLife 08. It seems to go fine, but when I open iPhoto, it says it needs to "update photo library." I have about 9,000 photos. It runs for several hours, and the blue bar hits about 80% complete, and the screen says I have 44 minutes left, and it sticks there. For hours. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Jeff KCJeff
I am wondering if I should go in to my iPhoto Library and move most of the files to another location,
Under no circumstances should you do that - all that will achieve is corrupt your library.
Try Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
Then try update that library.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
