I recently opened my Photos in Mac OSX and there was a prompt that it needs to be repaired.

I clicked on the repair button but nothing happens - there is no progress from the progress bar and the prompt just comes out again after every 5 mins (after i click on it again).

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Can you provide information about your Mac, and information about the OS version. Please be specific as possible. Also, is your Photos library large, or maybe, on a different drive, or did you recently upgrade the OS?
