![]() ![]() 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). ![]()
