Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
What is the setting to have all photos and videos download to my iMac automatically? It gets tiring to have to wait 40 minutes for a video to download to my iMac each time I want to view it.
This isn't a discussion on internet speeds or other criteria. I just want to know how to set up Photos to have everything in my iCloud photos library on my computer so I can use them immediately.
Once you set up iCloud account https://support.apple.com/kb/ph2609?locale=en_US ( the photos box must be checked in system preferences > iCloud ) you need to set up iCloud photo library https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204264
And its preferences https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/photos/pht5156cc968/4.0/mac/10.14
The download originals box must be checked , the photos will start syncing .
The settings must be as per screen shot .
I found it...
Preferences, iCloud Photos, Download Originals to this Mac
(now waiting for 1.8TB to download to my Mac...)
By mistake the post is duplicated the wifi connection was disconnected .
iCloud videos take forever to download to my iMac
