Q: iCloud Photo Library stopped syncing

I've got the same problem with my iPhone 5s. All my other devices are synching with icloud library except my iPone.

iPhone 5s, IOS 8.3

Same for me

I have IPhone 6, iOS 8.3 and every time I'm connected in wifi mode the sync process begin but the progress bar stops at about half time. I've enough Gb on iCloud to do the sync

Tried to do net restart and icloud logout/login process but nothing change.

Anyone that resolved the problem?

thx

I'm also having this problem.  It looks like it started happening on May 14 or 15...the last pictures I took that synced to iCloud and my Mac were from 5/14.  Anyone figure out why this is happening or a solution?

The problem occured about 9-05-2015. I'm still having this problem.

Same here, no change, no syncing. Did it change for anyone of you or is Apple looking into it?

Me too. It's happened a number of times, each time the only solution I've found (frustratingly) has been to turn off iCloud completely, import any remaining photos to the mac, delete the camera roll on the phone, and turn on again. I don't know what is causing the problem, but it seems to happen to me when I edit photos with ios8 (non Apple) photo extensions. Whatever the reason it's hugely irritating.

Interesting.  I checked what the last photo that synced was, and the one after that was a pic that I had edited using an extension in the photos app.  I tried to revert that pic to original in hopes that it would then start syncing again, but no such luck... 

Been there too... had the same issue... possible solution here:

Enjoy.

Thanks Sean. I'm increasingly convinced that the use of iOS Photos' Extensions is at the heart of the problem. All seems to work fine for me until I use them. It does seem crazy though. I can just about accept, at this early stage in its development, that Photos might ignore the extra extensions metadata on sync but it does seem ridiculous that, rather than disregarding this, it grinds the whole system to a standstill... With an 80,000+ image library deleting and reinstalling each time is madness.

Agree 100%! Terrible bug with iCloud photo, third party editing extensions are a nightmare to use with icloud photo sync! It's been months and Apple is sleeping again...                

Yesterday I reluctantly tried the steps JFM67 suggested (I say reluctant because I have over 30,000 photos in my library so it is no small task) and it worked.  I did have to follow all steps, including deleting pics off my iPhone using Image Capture, before it worked.  Thanks for sharing that info...

At this point, all seems to be working ok.  I am going to avoid editing any pictures in the Photos app with third-party extensions for a while though, since I think that may have been a trigger in my case.  Maybe I'll give it another try after the next iOS update comes out...

I have the exact same problem here. Thanks for the tips about the third party extension, I go to my iPhone photo library and find the picture that I modified with third party extension and deleted it(also delete it from "Recently Deleted" album) solved the problem. After the "problematic" photo is deleted, iCloud Photo Library starts syncing again. 

I'm having the exact same issue for the third time now. Apple support is involved (and even exchanged the iPhone 6 to exclude a possible wifi-issue) and investigation, but without any success to date. However, one guess was that it might be an editing issue. So I'm glad that I stumbled over this thread today, as it seems to confirm what we've been suspecting: Editing might cause iCloud Photo Library to quit its sync process. As it seems unlikely that Apples own editing tools will cause such an issue, maybe a third party extension would?

I am a frequent user of Camera+. And I wonder if you are using the same third party app? Or maybe a different one?

If we could gather our third party apps in question here, I would forward the list to Apple support, so it might help them to identify the one thats's causing the issue.

My photos have stopped syncing many weeks ago on all my devices. I too am a frequent user of Camera Plus, via the extension tool. I also use the Pixelmator editing tool to sharpen some pictures, but less frequently than Camera Plus.

Maybe something to investigate by the Apple people.

Thanks iCoco for setting up a list of potentially offending photo editing apps.
