When uploading, what are "previews" and why do they take so long?

After selecting photos from iPhoto library to upload and hitting upload all the photos were accessible in a reasonable amount of time.
However, then a message stated that "previews are uploading." I can see thumbnails and enlarge all my photos in Revel ..so what is a "Preview" file? Why do they take so long to upload? Is the Preview the same as a full-size file?
Also, of the 3,000 images I chose Revel excluded 72. (not dupes...they were separately counted). How do I know which ones were not selected? And WHY?

Richard, Thank you.
I am using a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.2. There are no RAW files and no xmp's. Corrupt files are possible.
I have noticed that today the "previews" finished uploading. And now the "originals" are beginning to uload. If 3,600 previews took almost 4 days to upload, i can expect 3,600 originals will take much longer. The internet speed is medium @ 1.5.
My iPhoto library has 12,000 photos and only a few videos. I don't think I will live long enough to try uploading a duplicate library via a web client at Adoberevel.com    (laughing)    I doubt that at this rate I'll be able to upload even half to Revel in the 1st 30 days.

  • What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

    What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • HT3209 where are my TV series which I purchase on Apple TV stored? Why do they take so long to open when we want to watch them?

    where are my TV series which I purchase on Apple TV stored? Why do they take so long to open when we want to watch them?

    That would be due to your network.
    Some common things to check
    Current connection, use speedtest.net
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of your network, it will help see if there's interference.
    On Apple TV go to settings - general - network. Make sure DNS is set to automatic.

  • What is indexing and why does it take 122 hours?

    What is indexing and why has it slowed my computer and why does it take 122 hours?

    Indexing allows Spotlght to know where everything is on your computer.  It won't take as long as it says, the times it gives are always vastly inflated.

  • What is 'Backing up' and why does it take so long even if my library is identical to my ipod?

    I've just plugged by ipod touch into the computer to sync it and it keeps telling me the ipod contains stuff that isnt in my library (eventhough my library is identical to the content on the ipod) and that if i dont back up i will lose this stuff, i clicked back up and now it has been backing up for over 2 hours! what is it doing and why is it taking so long?

    TC has to check to see which files need to be backed up. So its going thru the file directory and looking for any changes since the last backup. Do you have a lot of files on your Mac to check? Or are they just a small number but very large. If its the former, then that might be the culprit.

  • What are .frameworks, and why are they freezing my computer?? Help!

    It seems as though every time I open an audio program (Garage Band mainly), a folder entitled CoreMIDIserver.framework pops up on my dock, bounces for a bit, and then proceeds to freeze my computer. I have to force quit it every time. Frameworks are located in System-Library-Frameworks. I looked them up online and it wasn't very helpful.
    What can I do to fix this? Why does it keep popping up? Can I delete it, or would that potentially cause more problems?
    I really really REALLY need to use pro audio and the fact that it's not working is killing me. Any help is much appreciated!
    Tim G.

    I had a couple of problems with other frameworks.
    I used Pacifist to "Update Prebinding" for entire system.
    It cleared up my framework console errors among other things.

  • In iphoto, what are themes and why are they not loaded?

    I uploaded some pics to my iphoto as usual. then went to print and it stated that i needed themes to continue.
    I did have the HD swapped out due to the recall for my model. The ML 10.8, was installed and all the software
    rest of the back up was done via the timemachine. I really have been have trouble with little things other than
    printing from iPhoto.. Any help would be appreciated.
    Tim

    Thank you, I will try that. It seems that since we had the HD replaced we come up on these types of things that just dont connect.
    Thank you for the suggestion.

  • What are hiutil and mdworker? - they're maxing out the CPU!!

    So I upgraded this afternoon to Lion on my 13" macbook air from the App Store; first of all the reboot crashed, then a hard off and back on sorted that out.
    Now hiutil (and sometimes mdworker) are trashing the CPU constantly at 90-100% (and making the fan go crazy with it)
    Anyone have any idea what these threads are?
    My MBA is now unusable because of these!!
    Cheers, Simmo

    mdworker is the Spotlight indexer. Spotlight is a bit wonky in Lion (as it was in SL 10.6.0)…be patient; it might not be fixed until 10.7.2 or so. If you don't use Spotlight, consider turning it off in SysPrefs. It'll cut that process.
    hiutil seems to be a low-level process for Help pages. It's probably indexing those (to get the snappy search results from the Help menu).

  • What does 'Preparing...' mean exactly and why does it take so long?

    Even incremental backups using Time Capsule seem to stall at the 'Preparing...' for 10 or 20 minutes, then only write a couple of megabytes of files. Right now my machine has been sitting at this stage for more than 4 HOURS! (and no, it's not an initial backup)
    Does anyone know exactly what is going on during this unfathomably long period?
    It'd be very useful if the Time Machine interface gave a hint that it was actually making progress - something along the lines of 'Preparing... x minutes to go' would be much more useful than the current dialog which might as well say 'has it crashed?'

    TC has to check to see which files need to be backed up. So its going thru the file directory and looking for any changes since the last backup. Do you have a lot of files on your Mac to check? Or are they just a small number but very large. If its the former, then that might be the culprit.

  • What is "uninstalld" and why does it take up nearly 100% of CPU?

    I recently upgraded from 2 to 4GB of RAM because my iMac was running slow. It works better now but my activity monitor shows only 45MB free right now even though I'm only using Safari. In the monitor window it says that "uninstalld" (without the e) is taking up 99.3% of CPU. How can that be and what can I do about it? Thanks.

    Select that process and kill it in Activity Monitor, see if it comes back.

  • Why does it take so long to receive your itunes receipt

    When you buy something on itunes why does it take so long to receive the receipt??

    Because the receipt usually gathers all your purchases over the course of a week or so and combines them into one receipt. Do you really want a receipt for every app or song you download??

    I don't know if they're related or what osascript is or what's calling it - I don't see it in the activity monitor. Again, everything seems to work but these errors must mean something....
    Thanks for any help.

    Hmmm.... After experimenting with various applications I found get the osascript error everytime I use dropbox, guess I need to talk to them. Still haven't found a reason for the QTKitServer message.
