Q: My iphone photos do not sync with my Mac.

I got a new MacBook Pro, and my iphone photos do no longer fully synchronize with my Mac. Any suggestions?

There are significant differences between "My Photo Stream" on my mac and my iPhone.

 

I am using IOS 9.1.3 and OS X 10.11.4.

 

Thank you!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    Greetings dpdpdpdpdp,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    From your question, it sounds like not all of your My Photo Stream photos are showing on your Mac as expected. In this situation, I recommend following the steps outlined in the following article to make sure all of your photo stream photos import to your folders. 

     

    You can choose to download all of your photos from My Photo Stream to your Mac and PC automatically.

    • Photos 1.0 or later: Open Photos and go to Preferences > General. Select Copy items to the Photos library.
    • iPhoto or Aperture: Go to Preferences > Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

    I am sorry but it was fully user error. I have updated my iCloud details and was forced to login again on all my devices except the MacBook. Once I logged-out and in again, all pictures started to synchronize.

     

    Thank you!
