![]() ![]() They also can get the logs and escalate to engineering where they can look at iCloud and potentially have you set a specific flag to rebuild the one item that ails you. As much as I think I can reason about Apple software - they had some tips and steps I would never have considered. I had similar issues and worked with Apple support to validate my plan and it was well worth my time. It's also not clear if the repair changes over time - but there is a pragmatic thing you can do and that's to back up your Mac / the database before you attempt a repair in case it causes issues. I'm not aware of Apple documenting the code / steps for repair - but it's widely known that there are databases that track everything and that databased need to be checked and cross referenced, permissions validated, files checked on disk and maintenance routines to reclaim space from deleted entries / rebuild indexes / other database maintenance steps. However, I do have iCloud shared albums enabled so that I can create/view shared albums) (For clarity, the photo library is locally hosted and NOT synced with iCloud. So thus the question: what exactly does the Photos.app repair library do? It would be nice to know what it is attempting before I just throw it at my library and possibly lose something (metadata or photos) in the process. However, I'm just concerned that it will break something. Naturally, you would think that "repair library" would attempt to resolve something like this. ![]() So that backstory aside, I've been trying to find ways to fix the library so that it will stop doing this annoying behavior. It seems like it happens more with people I haven't tagged in a while, but they DO exist in my People page. This doesn't happen for everyone, but it happens enough to be really annoying. This ends up with me having to go back to the "everyone" page and then merging the old and new Jane records together as one person. However, when I go to a photo where she is tagged as 'unknown' and I try to start typing in her name, it doesn't pop up as a known name and I end up creating a new "Person" for her. To explain more, I have (say) Jane in numerous records in the photo library. My Photos library seems to be in pretty decent shape, but I noticed that since the last major macOS upgrade I did (to Monterey), it is having trouble with keeping "People" from becoming duplicates. ![]()
