sync selected photos albums

Hi wilje,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! Are you using iCloud Photos? We asking, because as noted in the following guide "When iCloud Photos is turned on, no photo syncing options appear when you click Photos in the button bar.":

Sync photos between your Mac and iPhone or iPad

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

Hey there wilje, 

Following Sync photos between your Mac and iPhone or iPad the albums shown will be based on the albums found in Photos.

Taking a look at Create albums in Photos on Mac doyou have albums you have created? If so, let's restart your Mac, then attempt to sync your desired albums again.

Have a good one!

Is your Photos Library enabled as the System Photos Library? Only the albums in the System Photos Library can be synced to other devices.

• Open Photos, go to Photos > Preferences > General.
• If the option "Use as System Photos Library" is not greyed out, click it, to make the currently open library your System Photos Library.

Then restart Photos and try again to sync.

You're welcome, William 😊
