i cannot get my photos to sync between my iPhone, Mac Mini and Powerbook pro

I have tried using the iCloud account but it appears that nothing works. I have synced pictures prior to 2024.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.3

We might be able to help, but we would need more information. Are you wanting to use iCloud to synchronize Photos on your devices (by far the best choice), or are you wanting to use a cable?

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC - Apple Support


Could you give us more information?

  • What models are your devices? Are they Apple Silicon?
  • What OS and/or iOS are you using on each device?
  • Do you have iCloud Photos set to synchronize on all your devices?
  • Do you have “Optimize Storage” checked in Photos’ Settings on your devices?
  • For your MacMini, where does your Photos Library reside-- in the Pictures folder of your internal drive, or on an external drive? or on a network? on iCloud drive?
  • Same questions about the MacBook
  • How much storage do you have on each device ,and how much is available on each?
  • How much storage do you have at iCloud.com, and how much is available?
  • Has this problem always existed, or did it just start? Can you think of anything that changed that might affect your device?


Let us know…
