iPad Air 2 here.
I did the hard reset on my iPad earlier and I just happened to click on my photo album because I needed to grab a photo real quick only to see zero photos. And then it started to restore photos. I had no idea a device had to restore photos unless that was an iCloud thing.... but yeah it appears that my device has successfully restored my over 6K photo collection. So it’s definitely not iCloud as my plan doesn’t include close to that storage(free lol).
I genuinely didn’t know a device would show restoring or retrieving photos that are already on the device and I’m not sure at all what triggered it. Excuse my ignorance if that’s normal. But I’ve been having so many bugs in IOS 11. I’m sure you guys have seen me here more than you’d like.
But I did have one problem.
The “people” album is showing “69 photos scanned” “To finish scanning your remaining 6K+ photos, lock your iPad and connect to power.”
I did Google this before I asked you guys as I know most issues can be solved from something simple. But it hasn’t moved from that 69 at all for hours and I’ve done it all. I’ve reset multiple times and tried connecting and disconnecting to WiFi etc. All my other albums seemed to restore fine.
What exactly is the people album and why is it showing I have so many photos there? I don’t really remember ever using this album. But if it’s important I definitely want it to scan in properly. I can’t really restore because I don’t have ICloud for photos and my last physical backup was a while ago. Don’t really know what to do.
If you guys can’t help it’s okay but I’m pretty perplexed.
