How can I force iCloud to Mac sync of Photos?
I see that this question has been asked before, as in the quote below - but I can't see a solution. To be exact, sync has always worked until a couple of days ago. In the last week I have taken around 50 pictures on my iPhone 13, running iOS 16 and later iOS 17, and a couple of them appeared on my iMac running MacOS Ventura 13.6, but the remainder haven't transferred. They are visible on iCloud and I have created an album for them. This album also exists in Photos on the iMac, but it only contains two photos! I've just started up my MacBook Pro (also running Ventura), and the album appears there complete!
I don't think I have any space problems (well over a terabyte free on the Mac), so what's wrong?
My Mac does not sync with my photos on iCloud. The pictures that I take with my phone and my iPad are uploaded on iCloud (I can see them on the iCloud.com site). The synchronization happens seamlessly between the iPad and the iPhone.
