In finder my photos are not synchronized with my iphone (xr) or my wife's Iphone 7.

Is this a bug from catalina?

Before it worked perfect in itunes.

Finder sync with iPhone cannot find albums I just upgraded from High Sierra all the way to Monterey, and I'm dealing with all the stuff that doesn't work, or works differently. I see that when I plug in my iPhone now it appears in the Finder sidebar. When I click on it, I get the dialog screens that used to be in iTunes, pretty much verbatim. I had my sync options set up so that the Photos album "iPhone-Resident" contained all the photos I wanted kept permanently on the iPhone, and no others. I seem to have the same options offered in the Finder sync screens, except it can't find the albums: It offers "All albums" and nothing else. Searching for a specific album (shown) only rates a "huh?" Photos has no problems finding and working with my albums. How do I get the Finder to find the album names in Photos?

Albums shown in Finder or on AppleTV not updating when changes made in Photos? I'm using a current model iMac with latest Catalina updates and a new iPhone 11 Pro, and an Apple TV model A1625 with tvOS 13.3. I've been working on organising my photo collection in Photos, sorting things into albums and so on. I want to sync some folders to my iPhone. I connect the iPhone to my iMac, open Finder, select the phone, and select Photos. I check the box for "Sync photos to your device from" and choose "Photos" from the drop down list. I choose "Selected albums". However - the list of albums that Finder offers to sync is different to the list in the Photos app. Albums I've deleted are still listed. Albums I've renamed show with their old names. Albums I've created don't show up. If I enable "home sharing" to view my Photos library on the AppleTV (via the "computers" app) the list of albums offered appears to be the same list as I see in Finder - not the list of albums in Photos. Restarting the Photos application or rebooting the iMac makes no difference. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I can't see what. Any suggestions?

Hi JM415,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're having trouble syncing photos to your iPhone using Finder on your Mac. I know it's important to be able to sync your photos; I'd like to help. I'd recommend reviewing the following resource to verify the steps you're taking to sync: Sync photos between your Mac and iPhone or iPad

If you continue to have trouble, please provide the following details:

What happens when you try to sync photos to your devices?

If you see an error message, what does it say?

Does the behavior persist if you try to sync one or two photos at a time?

Best Regards.
