[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1834006, member: 38864"] I had about a dozen photos and 5 videos totaling about 2 minutes in total to sync from iCloud. That shouldn't have taken much more than 20 minutes. Certainly not 2 hours and most definitely not the entire night. One last short video I made after we got home last night showed up on my iMac within a couple minutes. Even now, having started over with a new Photos library this morning, I should have seen "something" show up by now... something, anything, but I have literally nothing showing up here after about 5-6 hours since starting with a new Photos Library. I'm about to try one more idea to kickstart it, but this shouldn't be this problematic. I finally fixed the Finder being hung up trying to connect to the iPad. There was a process in Activity Monitor titled [I]AmpDevicesAgent[/I] that was pegging over 100% of the CPU. Force-quitting that fixed the hangup. (EDIT: ok, no that didn't fix it. The Finder isn't giving me an indication anymore that it's trying to sync to the iPad, but I still can't log out. Grrrr......) (EDIT 2: Ok, quitting the remaining [I]AmpDevices...[/I] processes worked. There were three more differing in name, though they showed no signs of being hung up or otherwise pegging the CPU.) Last edit: so all of a sudden everything is syncing in Photos. Unlike last night when I had the placeholders frozen in place, when I double-click a video, I now either have a complete video or a pie icon showing the download in progress (which then takes just 2-5 seconds to download). I very seriously had a completely blank library still an hour or so ago. [/QUOTE]
