Re: Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data

[Tim Law]

EEEk,,,   :-(

Restarted Mac Mini.
This got the upload moving again - yay. 

"uploading 100 to go"
"50 to go" looking good.
"uploading 1 item"

Success I’m thinking.
Suddenly it is uploading 15,827 items - AGAIN!

Sigh …..

I’ve quit Photos and will see what mood it is in tomorrow. 

Cheers

Tim

Resetting iCloud - Photos sync data

[Tim Law]

Good evening,

I am hoping to find out how to reset the sync data to force one computer to 
reset the sync data for loading Photos to iCloud

Two weeks, or more, ago, I turned on iCloud storage for Photos on four devices. 
All are logged into the same iCloud account, although some are @me.com and some 
are @mac.com email address names. I understand this is insignificant. I have 
checked at https://appleid.apple.com/ and found all four devices are logged 
into the same Apple ID

Mac Mini - 10.11.6  Cannot be upgraded to Sierra
Mac Book Pro   macOS 10.12.1
iPhone 6SiOS 10.1.1
iPad Air 2  iOS 10.1.1

In order to keep a current back-up, I have turned on ‘Download originals to 
this Mac’ on the Mac Mini which is my ‘main’ computer. Data is backed up using 
Time Machine and Super Duper.

All the mobile devices have the same number of photos and videos as each other 
and as is https://www.icloud.com/#photos2  which is 15,003
The Mac Mini registers it should have 14752.

The Mac Mini is Stuck at uploading an extra 1878 photos and has been for over 
24 hours. This is the second time this has happened and it has taken a week to 
upload the 55Gb of data a second time. Photo’s triggered itself into a reload 
of all photos after I turned off iCloud Photo Library in an effort to get the 
devices correctly syncing. 

When I delete, or add, a photo to any of the mobile devices, it is shared to 
the other mobile devices quickly. 
Photos on the Mac Mini has kept several photos that have been deleted for days 
on the other devices. 

During the week I can see the CPU working hard on iCloud or Photos, then I see 
the upload loading to iCloud. It varies between activity on both, but once 
‘stuck’ on 1878 to go, there is no activity showing. 

I have tried the Pause for One Day button in Photos but nothing forces the 
reset and correction as I thought it would.

I think I need to find a file that contains the sync data and remove it as I 
suspect it has got corrupted somehow. 

Is there such a file and are my ideas sensible or is there another option. 

I’ve been patient for two or more weeks with Photos and iCloud - like the 
forums suggest - now is the time for a hammer!!  kidding


Ideas welcome.

What about turning off iCloud Photo Library, deleting all the photos in the Mac 
Mini library….. k….. and then turning it back on again so all the 55Gb will 
download. That sounds scary.

Cheers

Re: Correct spelling automatically - not working after today's upgrade to 10.12.2

[Graham Rabe]

Hello Ronni,

Thanks for getting back to me. 

'Text replacement' was enabled in the 3 offending apps - Mail, Notes and 
Evernote.

But the problem was resolved by deleting an existing entry and then re-entering 
it. I did that once and that triggered all the other autocorrects to respond as 
normal.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Graham

Thanks Peter. The problem I had - and its now been resolved - was only with 
apps like Notes and Evernote and Mail. Word for Mac was not affected. 

The problem was resolved by deleting an existing entry and then re-entering it. 
I did that once and that triggered all the other autocorrects to respond as 
normal.

Thanks for your response. 

Cheers,

Graham
