Guys, I've "updated" to Photos and have seen no end of problems!

I want to import photos from my Android (which I have previously done without too much trouble).

The first problem is that only a few photos show as thumbnails.

The second problem is that even photos that I have previously imported show as being new. So if I import all I'll have duplicates.

When I select the photos I want to import (I count how many new ones I have on my phone and then count up on the Photos app) and the click Import nothing happens. It says its importing, but several hours later the 5 photos I need importing are still in the import process.

I decide to stop importing. This doesn't work. Photos app just hangs.

I choose to Quit Photos. It won't allow me to do so. It tells me that it's Closing Library. Force Quit is not available!

I choose to Shut Down my Mac. No can do as Photos is still running - and can't be force quit either!

I have to hold the power button down to shut down.

Happens every single time!

Oh Apple, what have you been doing these last few years!
 
Guys, another quick question please - is there any way of deleting duplicate photo's from the Photos app?
