Photos app gets stuck "downloading" and doesn't update

I uploaded my entire photo library to iCloud and once it was showing on all my devices, i added it to my macbook air. the issue I'm having is that it loads 543 pictures (out of 24,559) and stops, nothing else happens and i have left the laptop "ON" for days. My internet is 300MB down and 20MBUP so i don't think is my internet speed.
anyone having this issue? i deleted the iPhoto library files, and created a new one and the same thing happened it got stuck on 543 (says preparing 24,559). any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
Is this Gmail account being accessed as an IMAP account, or POP?
I have many accounts, and my Gmail is not a prime one that I use. However, the last few days it has been acting a bit weird, and at the same time I have been trying to help a friend set his Gmail up on a new Mac, and having issues with that, even tho' his POP account from his ISP works fine.
I read that Google is in the process of rolling out new features for Gmail, and I am watching to see if the issues I have seen are related.

  • Sending mail with attachment from Photos App get stuck in Outbox

    Hey,
    As it is described in the title, the photos I have previously selected in Photos App ( by clicking send > by mail ) get stucked in my Outbox.
    In opposition to some other discussions, I can edit/delete that stucked mail, and even send it if I manually click again on "Send" from the outbox !
    Other funny conclusion : If I copy&paste the photo and compose a new message from the Mail App, the same mail isn't stuck.
    I tried to delete/reconfigure my Exchange Account, it doesn't change anything.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer gets stuck "downloading" and won't proceed

    I'm on Mac OSX 10.10.1, using Safari and Chrome as browsers. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and since then have gotten error messages that I don't have Flash installed. When I download the Installer, it gets stuck and won't move past "30%" downloaded. I've left it for hours, and it is still at 30 when I return. Is there a permissions issue that I could play with to allow it to continue installing? Any suggestions for what to try to get this installed?
    I've been able to download the installer itself, but the problem comes after I double-click "Install Adobe Flash Player." See screenshot below.
    This is where it gets stuck:

    Use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • I tried to download a Cisco webex application.  The app did not download and I also can't open the app.  The problem is that I can't get the webex screen to close, it is stuck open and I can't get back to the app home page!

    I tried to download a Cisco website application.   The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open.  The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page!   Help! Thanks

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

    My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

    How much free space do you have? If it is low, installers may not be able to run properly.

    Hi,
    The movie is probably MPEG format.
    QuickTime Pro and iMovie cannot transcode audio contained in MPEG movies.
    Try to convert with SimpleMovieX or MPEG Streamclip instead.

  • How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run

    How to Get In & Out of Match, Get your Downloads and Run 
    So you have read the marketing hype, and are thinking what you really want is to pay for the service to upgrade your low quality bitrate files to a bit better 256KBPS rate easily, as don’t fancy rebuying/ reimporting or other method
    This guide should show you the fastest route to achieve you upgrades
    It assumes you’re working from your main music library, and know something about IT, and have <25k of music files
    Backup your music files
    If you know how to do this, its simple right – so once done then move to step 2, if not read below so you don’t blame me for a loss
    Transfer Hardware
    your choice the transfer hardware, suggest offline harddrive via USB3.0 (blue USB connector/eSata/ 1494b/1GB NIC/etcetera but your call
    If you use USB2.0/ 100MB NIC/1394a or other lower transfer method, accept the time hit
    Don’t use Time Backup/local disk backup software unless you have RAID 5 setup or better (and if wondering what that is, you almost certainly don’t then)
    Don’t use  internet backup service unless you live next door to the hosting company, with stunning internet connection to envy 99.9% of the human race, remember this is the fast method folks)
    Transfer Software
    I am assuming you know how to do a copy n paste/ robocoby/xcopy/drag n drop or whatever method turns you on via finder/explorer/cmd window ect
    Caveat #01: If not sure how to do above, then stop now as you are not IT literate ready for this
    Find your music files and back them up
    Now keep the computer running, preferably with nothing else running from this point for ease of use bar an active internet connection, and power saving switched off
    If you know where the files are great, backup the files, but some don’t so for them as below
    Caveat #02: if you don’t know how to find them your most likely on default settings, or sitting with a legacy from a past upgraded machine - below should help but you might want to stop now if you have never been curious about the location before
    Within iTunes , go to [Edit/Preferences/Advanced] and note down the location shown for Itunes Media Location
    In the same location of preferences, hit [Keep iTunes Media Folder organised] and let the application do its stuff.  You will end up with the location in 1ciii a ready to copy location which for simplicity of topic, copy the whole folder and its subfolders.  You may end up with some extra copies of music files (an iTunes safety mechanism, but it won’t show in the folder location, and we can ignore later on)
    Enable Match (after paying for the service)
    Run Match
    Accept that the Apple iTunes process is not perfect, may crash/stop/pause and reboots will be needed, and we can move on so to speak. Key here is you cannot do an unattended script or assume no end user interaction needed L
    Turn on iTunes Match, notice the new ITunes Match on the left hand sidebar, click it, then hit the Start button – if it works and you eventually get to STEP 3 perfect.
    If it fails before getting to STEP 3, reboot and restart
    If this still fails to get to STEP 3, then create a new iTunes database (browse forums on how to do), read your media files from the location in 1civ
    Stop MATCH  (the upload process only, not the service)
    Once STEP 3 starts, CLICK STOP - ASAP, as all this does it upload data, and you don’t want to do this, just get your upgraded files (remember the title of this entry your reading!)
    This also avoids future issues with Album art lost
    Delete Matched low bitrate files
    Create a NEW SMART playlist, with two criteria
    Show all files with bitrate is less then 256
    Show all files where iCloud status is MATCHED
    In the new playlist, click it and it shows the files we want to blow away. 
    Click Edit / Select All then
    Click ctrl in windows/apple  (cmd) logo in mac, and press delete button, ensuring you do NOT tick the delete from iCloud Option.  Now want a few mins for it do do its stuff.
    Download Upgraded BitRate Files
    In the same location as 5, reselect all, and right click, and select the option to download all, and off it goes
    On the lefthand sidebar in iTunes, click Downloads, and you will then see in the middle bottom screen an option for simultaneous downloads (select it)
    Your done Just let the app now do its stuff. I would ignore the message saying you can get on with other things, and use anther machine, preferably not using the same internet connection.
    Optional Steps:
    Click randomly from the Itunes/Matched/256KBPS listed files, and play them.  Not all the files, one every 30 or so, and just the start, then last few seconds to check not dead or corrupt files.
    Update your Step 1 backup with the new files, which is going to take up more space, guess at 40%.
    Kill your iTunes Match account (both the recurring automatic subscription, and  the account if not continuing to use the store part of iTunes)

    I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.
