You try to figure out what’s taking up your disk space by clicking the Apple logo on the top-left of the screen, selecting About This Mac, and hitting the Storage tab. I have had to resort to putting names as keywords to overcome this issue until Apple sorts this and preferably fixes the scanning bug too! Thanks for a great article.So, your Mac is running out of storage. Its frustrating when the family member see mislabelled photos and thinks I got it wrong.
#Scan for and organize photos by size and type mac os x 2017 software
I thought I was losing it when people kept dissappearing from my people list and then I found them under thier very similar looking family members but even after I manually named them correctly they disappeared back to where the software feels they belong. User input should overide the softwares ‘best guess’ and to have this happening in the background means you don’t notice immediately. This is ridiculously poor programming for Apple. I have twins in my family and although I can tell them apart and name them according in the background the app decides they are the same person anf deletes one face and incorporates it into the other name. By default the ‘faces’ are named by the software. I too have been waiting an eternity for photos to finishing scanning for faces but I wish to point out a flaw in the programme that this wonderful artucle doesnt cover. People scanning takes absolutely forever on macOS Sierra if you have 'Optimize Mac Storage' enabled.This was a really annoyance as I moved the existing library to my new Mac, and it started re-scanning everything. People have to be re-scanned if you migrate a Time Machine backup to a new (or existing) Mac.and if I want People associated with my photos, I have to do it all manually. People are not synchronized in any helpful way between all my computers (I have three Macs, an iPhone and an iPad.So far there are three major annoyances with People in Photos, that I hope will be solved with future updates: Some people speculate it could be the videos taking so long-and videos may take a little longer than photos for scanning, depending on how Photos is scanning through them (whether it just scans a keyframe, or all frames of the video)-but I think there's some sort of major bug with the way the macOS Sierra version of Photos handles the optimized library for scanning faces. The benefit is that instead of 20-40 photos and videos scanned per day, I'm now getting 15-20,000 scanned per day! So it should be finished in a couple days, just like on my iPhone and iPad. So you might need to use an external drive, and move your library there for a few days. Now, this presupposes you have enough disk space on the drive where you're Photos library is located to store all the photos and videos from your library. Wait a really long time for all Originals to be downloaded.
Choose 'Download Originals to this Mac'.I'm fairly certain the macOS version of Photos and iCloud Photo Library have some bugs causing this problem. On my iPhone and iPad, even though I have Photos set to 'optimize iOS storage' (meaning only a subset of photos and videos are stored on the phone), the people scanning only took a few days, and then it's kept up since.īut on the Mac, after a few weeks, the pace is still glacial.
There are all kinds forum posts and support requests in Apple's community forums asking " Anyone else finding Photos 'People' scanning really slow?" and " Why is people scanning in MacOS Photos so slow?". Some days it seemed it would take forever.
I would leave the Mac on all night, and check in the morning, and only 20-30 new faces would be recognized. And after three weeks of seeing one of my CPUs stick around 100% all day every day (while plugged in), I started getting sick of this. On both of my new laptops-which were at least 3x faster than my older Airs-I noticed that Photos started completely fresh in its photo analysis for the 'People' album that shows everyone's faces. I recently migrated around ~50,000 photos and videos from Aperture to Photos (see my blog post on the process), and have also in a short amount of time upgraded my personal and work Mac laptops (both from older MacBook Airs to newer MacBook Pros).
