Photos not all syncing to iPad
Admittedly I have a huge library, some 34gb, but why can I only sync some photos to the iPad? I've tried restarting, etc to no avail.

The issue of photos not fully syncing to your iPad can be due to several reasons, such as storage limitations, iCloud settings, or software glitches. Here are some suggestions to troubleshoot this:
1. Check Storage Space: If your iPad doesn’t have enough storage, all photos may not sync. Go to Settings > General > iPad Storage to check how much storage you have available.
2. Check iCloud Settings: Ensure that you’re signed in with the same Apple ID on both devices and that iCloud Photos is turned on. You can check this by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos.
3. Optimize iPad Storage: If storage is an issue, you can select “Optimize iPad Storage” in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. This will store smaller, space-saving photos and videos on your device and keep the full-resolution versions in iCloud.
4. Check Network Connection: Photos will not sync if you’re not connected to Wi-Fi. Make sure that you have a stable internet connection.
5. Update iOS: Ensure that your iPad is updated to the latest iOS version. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
6. Reset iCloud Photos Sync: On your iPad, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos and toggle off iCloud Photos. Wait a few minutes and then turn it back on.
7. Contact Apple Support: If you’ve tried these steps and photos are still not syncing, you might need to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance.
Remember to back up your photos and other data before making significant changes to your device settings or software.
