Do you sync Photos with iCloud?

No, I sync with my iMac - too many to put in the cloud

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately that has made no difference to the outcome. This issue is happening with more than one iPhone as well.

You'll find some other ideas for a solution in the thread linked below. Some of it applies to iPhoto and some to Photos. I suggest you begin by making sure that iCloud Photos is not enabled on any of the devices and then restarting all of them.

Cannot sync photos "iPhoto library is not yet available"
