[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1932508, member: 335450"] For once I'm ahead of you Jake 🤣. I closed every program except Finder. I also changed the smaller library and made it the "system photo library" based on the following. The remote drive library is definitely NOT the system library. From the Apple Support Community: [I]The system Photos Library is always in use as long as you are signed into your user account. The background processes started by Photos are always expecting the system photos library to be available. [/I] In addition, they are suggesting leaving it plugged in all the time. WHAT? [I]If possible, keep the volume connected cited at all times (this is highly inconvenient when using a MacBook Air and not a Desktop computer. [/I] I guess that leaves Spotlight as the culprit? Can Spotlight be turned off to prove theory? [/QUOTE]
