Q: iCloud Photos not syncing to iOS

Hi all

 

I have made a heap of changes on my macOS Sierra Photos including:

  • Changing names of Albums
  • Merging some albums

 

None of those changes are replicating to my iPhone 6 (iOS 10). Also now half of my albums are showing as having 0 photos which is incorrect.

 

Was working fine a couple of days ago.

 

Anyone have any recommendations before I try turning OFF iCloud Library on the iPhone and turning it back on ? Anyone else have this happen to them?

    Thanks for posting the solution. Great that you could fix it using your backup.

    Should've mentioned that it hasn't Fixed it just yet. I still need to rue-load my whole photos library, then turn on iCloud Photos on my phone. Once I do this I will report back (roughly 10 days time).

     

    But big thanks Leonie for recommending to backup the library!

    Just wanted to give an update.

     

    Did all the above and photos was working fine for a couple of days. I just had iCloud photo library enabled on my Mac and iPhone.

     

    THEN, when I went and enabled it on my new Apple TV(latest generation) and thats when it only had a handful of Albums. Checked phone, albums gone, checked Mac, albums gone.

     

    Ive emailed my Apple product specialist for a call back tomorrow to see if the engineers can see anything on their side. Something just isn't right.

    I hope, Apple Support has an explanation for this annoying weirdness and can fix it.
