    Music app (Monterey 12)will not sync photos (or anything but music) with iphone 11

    I recently upgraded from iMac27 to the iMac24 M1. During the transition, I was advised to NOT use the computer to computer sync , since the M1 stores things in different bins. This was not an issue since I kept nearly all my data on separate external drives. Anyway, when it came time to sync my phone (11), I learned two things..... I could not get my playlists to transfer, so I had to rebuild them. Secondly, it took about 6 minutes for the Music app to allow " Sync Settings" to display my options...

    Mac will not sync Photos via iCloud

    No issue with iPhone or iPad syncing photos through iCloud, only my Mac will not sync . I restart repeatedly and make sure all software is updated, but it will still not sync . This is a reoccurring problem. Sometimes I can get it to sync by toggling photo sync off then on again in iCloud settings, but it usually doesn't do anything. Photos tells me it is updating, but it will sit for a week or more and not sync new photos . This is a systemic problem. I am running OS 12.4 and iOS 15.4.1....

    Photo iCloud sync

    Hi :) A few days ago I did put my Photo library (about 8.5k photos and videos) on iCloud. All photos seem to have been uploaded. Then I started sharing those in two shared albums with my family.

The second album never appeared on the other family members stream. I have plenty space left. Does anyone know...
