Why was I able to accept and view pictures in some shared folders, but I can only see the photos from this latest shared album on my iPhone and not my MacBook?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5
Hello wendyfromdearborn,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. When you accept an invitation to a Shared Album, you should be able to view the album from an iOS device or Mac when signed in using the same Apple ID. Make sure that you are signed in using the same Apple ID on both devices. You can find the Apple ID from Settings > [Your name] on your iPhone and from the Apple () menu > System Preferences > Apple ID on your Mac.
Next, the following steps from If Shared Albums aren't working - Apple Support can help refresh Shared Albums on Mac.
"On your Mac:
We hope that helps!
Take care.

An album was recently shared with me. I accepted the invitation and can now see all the pictures in the album from my iPhone. However, when I look for them on my MacBook, they are not there. I can see other shared albums but not this.
