I kept the phone plugged in last night and checked every hour, and it was only processing about 15 or 16 items per hour. This process was proceeding really slowly. It got through most of them fairly quickly, but the last 4,500 or so were effectively stuck. I don’t think it was actually uploading them - I think that’s just the word Photos uses to indicate what it’s doing - but rather checking each of the photos on the phone against each of the photos in my iCloud library.
It didn’t delete my photos, but once I was signed back in to iCloud, the Photos app was trying to re-upload my entire library (over 28,000 photos and 1,100 videos) back to iCloud. After one more reboot of the phone, Instant Hotspot was working perfectly.Ī side effect of signing out of and back into iCloud is that it seemed to reset my iPhone’s photo library sync state. So I did that on the iPhone, and, long story short, that seemed to fix the issue. This makes some sense, because all of these Continuity features go through iCloud. I did some searching on the web and eventually stumbled on a thread that suggested signing out of iCloud and then signing back in. I had a trip to New York coming up, and wanted to fix this. Weird, right? This was all on the release version of iOS 12.0.1, by the way. And then eventually the device name was changed back to “iPhone” again. Not even “John’s iPhone”, which is the default when you set up a new iPhone. I then noticed that my iPhone’s name (Settings → General → About → Name) had been changed to “iPhone”.
#How do i reload photos for mac mac#
I tried rebooting the Mac and iPhone, of course.
So the hotspot worked, but the magic Instant Hotspot feature wasn’t working. turned it on and left it on - my iPhone’s hotspot was listed as a regular Wi-Fi network on my Mac, and when I connected, it worked just fine. If I went into the iPhone’s Settings app and enabled the Personal Hotspot manually - i.e. My Wi-Fi menu no longer listed my iPhone, only my iPad. These “Personal Hotspots” show up at the top of the list of available Wi-Fi networks, in their own special section of the menu. That’s the feature where you can leave the cellular hotspot turned off in Settings, but enable it on-the-fly from a Mac when you connect via the Wi-Fi menu.
