photos app not updating for several days ... added new image files on MacBook Air ... bottom of Photos page shows 31,156 Photos & Updating but nothing has changed on the iPad Air which is linked to Photos.app through iCloud ... is there a way to force an update ?
macbook, Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Have you imported your Photos as referenced? You can tell that from the tiny arrow badge overlay in the lower left corner.
Referenced photos will not upload to iCloud. If you have referenced photos, use "File > Consolidate" to move them into the Photos library, if you want them to upload to iCloud. (see this link: Change where Photos stores your files )
To see the badges, enable them in the View menu: View > Metadata > Referenced
good info ... thanks
the problem finally showed up in System Preferences:
>>> System Preferences > iCloud > Photos showed a dash in the check box rather than a check
clicking changed it back to a check mark & Photos.app stated updating after a system restart
