![]() When it appeared to be complete, it changed to say 'Downloading 160,610 Originals'. I now have an iMac with oodles of space so I thought I'll download all the high res again.Įverything seemed to go well at first, the library 'updated', photos came flooding in for a good day or so. Took a few days but seemed to go off without a hitch. ![]() I can't believe the download should take this long, especially as the progress bar in Photos isn't moving at all.Īny suggestions, as to how to resolve this would be much appreciated.ĭownloading originals so slooooooooooooow Many moons ago I was running out of space on my laptop so I turned on optimise storage and my entire 160k photo library was uploaded to the cloud. I have a Time Machine back up that doesn't seem to want to work either, I can see all my files but 'Restore' is greyed out so can't even restore my Photo library that way. On the iMac, same photo stuck on a quarter turn of the clock. I have iCloud Photo Library switched on on my iPad Pro and my iPhone 7+, both with "Optimise" storage selected.If I click on a photo on either device it pops up full resolution almost immediately, the little clock flies around. If you turn off iCloud Photo Library, photos and videos that have not been fully downloaded will be removed from the Mac etc etc. If I try to turn off iCloud Photo Library in Photos Preferences, I get the message 'Your iCloud Photo Library is currently updating. I have "Download Originals to this Mac" selected in Photos Preferences iCloud. This seems quite random, some photos from 2014 showing up as full res, others in the same album not fully downloaded. I can see all of my photos thumbnails, some are full resolution, others have the little clock bottom right when I click it open, but the little clock only shows a quarter full and then stops. I have left the iMac running for days now and still no progress. ![]() There is plenty of storage on my iCloud storage plan. There is plenty of space on my hard drive 913GB for 30GB worth of photos. The Mac is connected to my router via ethernet cable and machine has been left awake. Photos has been stuck on "Downloading 23,544 Originals" for days, the number doesn't not change. I want to keep all my original photos on my iMac. Now trying to download approx 26,000 photos from my iCloud Photo library. I recently had to do a clean install of High Sierra, so essentially a new iMac. 27" iMac Mid 2010 running High Sierra 10.13.4
