My photos are not arriving to my mac pro from my iPhone in photos for mac
My photos are not arriving to my mac pro from my iPhone in photos for mac.
This is my main question:
On my Mac Pro
system preferences…
ICloud drive is unchecked. Is there a way to have photos in photos for my mac and not elect to use the entire iCloud Drive on my desktop for now? I have a lot of document deleting to do and want to start clean.
The rest of the story:
I switched to the iCloud Photos for Mac at the end of April. (I was in a hurry and under the assumption I was upgrading my present iCloud situation. I didn’t realize I was CHANGING the location of my photos. My mistake.) The last time I turned on Photos for Mac on the desktop was May 1. The iPhone6 photos up to May 1 are appearing in Photos for Mac on my Mac Pro. I don’t recall any issues on my Mac Pro uploading those photos.
I went out of town and upon arriving home have realized this issue. I want my iPhone6 photos to magically appear on my Mac Pro like they have for eons in the old iPhoto. And… like they did when I signed up for Photos for Mac.
There are no new photos showing in Photos for Mac on my desktop. They just stop at May 1 even though I took a lot of phone photos on the trip.
I see at the bottom of Photos for Mac it reads:
31,688 photos, 51 videos
(I’m not sure why it reads 51 videos. I don’t take many. Can these be tv shows and film rentals?)
Uploading 21,000 items
(This number keeps changing. At one point it went down to 1,500. Don’t understand this…)
On my Mac Pro
system preferences…
ICloud drive is unchecked. Is there a way to have photos be in the cloud and not sign up for the “Drive” on my desktop for now? I have a lot of deleting to do and want to start clean.
Photos is checked, and all of the options are checked as on
On my iPhone6
