cant access photos from iphone on imac via icloud
I have iCloud on for both my iPhone and iMac and I don't have any photos on iMac since 2019. I have read several articles about iCloud and photos and none have been helpful. What am I missing?
Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!

Try going to iCloud.com using a computer browser to see if the items are there and whether they are from the device or the computer. That should show whether the device or the computer isn't syncing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (Apple ID if you are using Catalina or later) and stop Photos syncing. Wait a couple of minutes, then recheck syncing. If the device, go to Settings/Your Name/iCloud and do the above. As a last resort, you can also try signing out of iCloud and then sign in again.

Thanks for the reply. The photos certainly show up from the phone when I'm in iCloud on my Mac. I turned off the sync on my Mac, which didn't help. I then signed out of my iCloud on my Mac and signed back in. Still not new photos in my photos app on my Mac since 2019.
Not only have the photos not shown up, after I signed out of iCloud on my Mac I shut it down. When I started it back up, all my desktop icons were gone. It appears they are all in the cloud now, and I can access them from Finder on the cloud but that's never happened before. I have no idea what is going on with my Mac but it's getting incredibly frustrating.
You are welcome. The photos sync is extremely slow. It could take several days or more for the photos to sync.
