My photos are in iCloud, they all show up on my iPhone and my iPad, but recent ones don't show up on my mac. Why?

Try going to System Preferences/iCloud (Apple ID for Catalina) and stop Photos syncing by unchecking the box. Wait a couple of minutes, then check syncing. Allow time for the sync to complete. The photo sync is very, very slow and could easily take 2 days or more to complete.


Last resort  - have you tried signing out of iCloud, restarting, and then sign back in?
