Photoanalysisd process overheats my Mac on macO...

Hi everyone !!

I have just upgraded to macOS SIerra in my Mac Air and I noticed that a process called "photoanalysisd" is currentlu taken almost 90% of my processor and overheating my Mac

Anyone knows what does this process do and if it can be killed? (tried it once but came up again)

Thanks,

Ariel

Hi Ariel

This is Photos indexing and analyzing all your photos. This is indeed processor intensive and depending on how large your Photos library is, could take a very long time. Up to 2 days in extreme cases.

If your computer is very hot, make sure you provide air circulation all around the case. Try elevating on a wire rack like like you might have in your kitchen for cooling cookies or use a oven rack.

If it still displays signs of overheating, you can place a fan to blow air on it, or even place an icy cold pack or something cold under the computer.

Hope this helps, Greg

You are welcome

Same problem here and CPU running at 130% I did not know that was even possible...

I found that "photoanalysisd" pauses itself if you have Photos.app (with the Faces tab) open or if you don't have power connected.

Same problem here with my late 2013 model iMac.

"photoanalysisd" is consuming >100% CPU (how is that possible?) and my iMac is running hot.  Any way to disable this feature?

Hi William ! as Greg said before, this procedure will heavily run only for a couple of day until it has all Photo Library analyzed.

Thanks, Arielsam!

It took a couple of hours, but finally completed and now everything appears to be back to normal.

I've been searching far and wide for anyone who knows how to troubleshoot photoanalysisd - I have read that it takes time but mine clearly has a malfunction. It's been running for days and has still only completed 83 of my 12k photos. At this point its been nearly two weeks since I did the Sierra install and photoanalysisd is still running and using in excess of 100% of my CPU.

I can't seem to find any advice on this issue anywhere.

If you have Little Snitch, you can block it permanently.  I don't want the cloud, like my photos and music to stay on my mac, no Iphone or watch to synch. 

I'm having the same "leaf blower" cooling fan noise & overheating problem on my Early 2011 17" MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz Core i7 with 16GB RAM and 500GB Samsung EVO Pro SSD.  Overheating immediately following upgrade to Sierra from Yosemite: photoanalysisd taking 150% to 250% .  Yes 250% !!!

Fortunately I have my MacBook Pro sitting on a Zalman Cool Innovations laptop stand with a HUGE 200mm cooling fan PLUS a 110mm ThermalTake USB powered external fan running at full speed blowing air across the aluminum strip between the top of the keyboard and the 17" display.  This prevents my MacBook Pro from overheating (monitored by TG Pro).

Apple REALLY should enhance their photoanalysisd code to scale back its searching / indexing when:

1. CPUs / GPU overheat
2. % CPU > 50%
3. laptops are on battery
4. other user processes require photoanalysisd to "pause"

C'mon Apple, Steve Jobs would NEVER let this remain this way!

exactly...we're now practically alpha testing OSX. I made the mistake of maxing out a current 13" AIR in hardware  and i can barely use it without it overheating every half our or so and THATS with iStat fan control running the fan at 6500rpm in an air conditioned room no less.

Crazy stuff Apple Dev teams. Sad days indeed.

I have the same issue. I have just north of 35k photos and it has been stuck with 18k remaining to be processed for months. Meanwhile, "photoanalysisd" pins the CPU at upwards of 200%, constantly.

Just to add to the thread...

I'm just baffled by this.  I upgraded to Sierra when it was launched and suddenly a couple of months later my MacBook is melting and the processor is running at 140% for photoanalysisd and 60% for mediaanalysisd.  Looking at the different threads on this subject, this is a terrible piece of design by Apple and yet there doesn't appear to be any official comment about it?

I am experiencing the same. My Mac Mini has been running hot due to this and has been doing it for 2 weeks now - yes, 14 days. I have been told that this is peculiar to Sierra and although reported a long time ago, it hasn't been fixed. I have been told that Apple engineers are "hoping to provide a fix in the next update". But then, they've been saying this for months. FWIW, my Photos Library contains 70K plus photos, so it's no wonder it's keeping the machine busy, but to occupy CPU to over 130% is crazy.
