Synchronize again with fewer (or no) photos selected.

That is, repeat the sync process, but this time select only one album (maybe an empty album).

Deletion of synchronised pictures (from MacBook to Iphone) all in once on Iphone Good Morning, I have the following issue. I got an used MacBook, which still contained pictures from someone else (within the photo folder). By singing in with my AppleID all of those pictures were automatically (without notice) synchronized with my IPhone. Hence, all of these pictures are now on my phone (randomly over the years). I don't want to have them on my phone tho since they are from a different person and take a lot of storage(14.000 pictures, 2000 videos). I tried to delete these pictures on the MacBook and hoped it would synch with the IPhone, but the pictures are still there. Does anyone know how to delete those picture all in ones from my phone without the need of going through all of them step by step? Already looking forward to your answers!! Best Saskia

Sync deleting mac photos to iPhone Hello, when I delete photos from the Mac photos app, they do not delete from my phone-- how do I get this to sync up? Would much rather delete form computer than phone as it is less tedious. Thanks

Making sure right synch of photos between Macbook Pro and iPhone Hi. If I have deleted lots of photos from my Mac Book Pro (2019 photos) and want to make sure they also come off of my iPhone, what do I need to do? I have iCloud switched on on both the laptop and iPhone. I don't have My Photo Stream turned on though. What I don't want to happen is have all the photos that are still on my iPhone being re-uploaded to the laptop! Do I just need to wait a bit? How long for the laptop and iphone to synch the changes on the Macbook? Thanks
