Photos App Mac Not Updating. If you have a photos app not working issue, these fixes can be implemented, as can this alternative that's built right into windows. When i take a photo with my iphone it gets uploaded properly and i also see it in the photos app on my macbook pro but at the bottom it tells me 1 original photo downloading (don’t know the exact translation).
As you have just updated to catalina, the latest version of macos. Photos taken with our iphones are uploading to icloud, and then syncing to the other phone, but the photos are not downloading to our mac. There's a strong chance that you might not have the latest operating system on your mac, or the latest version of your photo management software (whether that be iphoto, or a photos app).
If photos from iphone not showing up on mac in iphoto or photos app, or iphoto not working, then you can try anytrans to import iphone photos to mac.
Hi rene for whatever reason my photos app on mac os has been stuck on an updating status for a long time about 2 months i have left it for a full day to see if it will eventually update but it hasn't have you any idea why this is happening and is there a fix for it thanks sam 116137 This message stays there for quite some. Create a new photos library and see if your issues persist: Deleted my photos library from my mac and restored from a time machine backup.
