shared albums not updating after iOS upgrade and migration to newer machine

I recently migrated my files from a old mac mini running the last iOS to a iMac running Ventura. All my previously "Shared Albums" reappeared, but they are not updating with new additions from family members. What did I do wrong?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 13.0

Hi there Phil Gates,

If Shared Albums are not syncing as expected, the recommendations outlined here may resolve what's happening: If Shared Albums aren't working

If this continues to occur, follow these troubleshooting steps next to see if they help with this issue:

Go to the Photos app > Preferences > iCloud and turn Shared Albums OFF.
Wait 10 minutes.
Restart the computer.
Go to the Photos > Preferences > iCloud and turn Shared Albums ON.
Close the Preferences window and wait a few minutes.

Note: You may need to wait a full 24 hours before seeing all changes download.

We hope that helps!
