Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Is there a way to "Force" a Sync of the Shared Albums on the Mac? I have new photos on my iPhone in the Shared Album but I still do not see them on my Mac in Photos.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12
Hey there UCSman,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, is this an iCloud Shared Photo Library that you're using? If so, check out the steps listed in the following resource that may be able to help: How to use iCloud Shared Photo Library - Apple Support

- If you use a device with an earlier version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, or iCloud for Windows, you can't see content moved to the Shared Library. You can see your Shared Library on iCloud.com, or see it on a device that meets the minimum system requirements for Shared Library.
- If the library creator runs out of iCloud storage, content can no longer be added to the Shared Library and changes such as edits, favorites, and metadata adjustments no longer sync. To get more storage and access to other premium features, learn how to upgrade to iCloud+.
If not, have you had a chance to go through all the steps listed in the 'Related Article', If Shared Albums aren't working - Apple Support?

My Shared Albums have not sync'ed since Dec. 30th. How can I force a Sync?
