Photos aren't syncing from your iPhone to your Mac
iCloud Photo Syncing is either off or blocked by a network or storage issue. We'll turn it on, check your iCloud storage, and make sure both devices can reach Apple's servers. If that doesn't work, we'll restart the sync.
Photos sync automatically between iPhone and Mac through iCloud Photos. When they don't appear, it's because Photo Syncing is off, your iCloud storage is full, or the sync is stalled. We'll enable syncing, free up storage if needed, and force a fresh sync.
- ✓Check that your iPhone and Mac are signed in to the same iCloud account
- ✓Make sure both devices are connected to the internet
- ✓Confirm you have storage available in iCloud and it's not full

- Having full iCloud storage and wondering why nothing syncs. Photos can't sync when there's no room
Signs you need professional help
- If you've enabled iCloud Photos, checked your storage, verified you're using the same account, and confirmed your connection, but photos still aren't syncing, there is an issue with your iCloud account or a network problem blocking sync.
