consolidate photos

To sync all of the photos between my iPhone and Mac, I need to consolidate them. But the "consolidate" menu item is grayed out.

Mac mini, macOS 13.5

iOS 16 - Photos missing after sync After upgrading to iOS16, something funky is going on. I'm missing about a thousand photos, and recent ones are not syncing. I am using USB to sync; I can see the photos sitting there in the Mac Photos app... but they won't sync. And if I create a new album on my iMac, it does not show up in the sync menu. I usually backup all photos to my iMac and then sync them back to the iPhone so I have two copies. But this feature appears broken.

Did you select the photos before you went to the "File" menu? The photos need to be selected to consolidate them.
