photos won't sync to macbook

Photos from my iPhone will not sync with my MacBook under photos. This is what I have tried:

1) toggle iCloud photos under settings/Apple ID name/iCloud/photos/iCloud photos toggle button

2) Closed photos so it could sync

3) wifi is on and working for both devices

Help!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Unable to import photos after upgrading to OS Ventura I have not been able to import photos since upgrading to Ventura. I connect my iPhone by hardwire to the my Mac, but photos will not transfer to my Mac. I have tried privacy settings, turning off hotspot, placing on airplane mode (toggling) and nothing works. I reverted back to Monterey which worked for downloads, but my photos file will not open with Monterey any more. Any ideas?

Toggling iCloud will start a full new sync of your whole library.

Photos needs to be open to sync.

How large is your library - a full sync can take days, or even weeks for a large library.

What does the sync status say at the bottom of the all photos view? Here is mine (Updated just now)
