Apple Photos sync issues between devices Hi everyone, Saw many posts about this, but no real solution. I have an iPhone 11 + iPad pro + MB pro all connected to the same iCould account. Sync between iPhone and iPad and also iCloud photos on the Web UI all sync perfectly. Photos library is updated, shared photos are updated, all works perectly. but on my MBP, in Photos.. a total nightmare. It updates on and off, when it wants.. 3 or 4 days delays. If I toggle on/off the photo iCloud photos and/or the shared albums in Apple Photo prefs.. it can take 2 days to update.. sometimes it works, sometimes I have to do this 2 or 3 times. For 2 weeks I have been trying to understand WHY this Photo application fails, I cannot understand.. Mac in on MacOS 12.4, could it be the cause ? some nasty bugs Apple is NOT fixing just now ? Its really too bad. the iCloud sync is really cool, but if it fails this way on Mac.. maybe I need to stop using Apple Photos and sync with Google Photos... don't know If anyone has a solutions, I would be VERY happy. Thanks in advance

Photos on Mac not syncing It's been more than 3 hours and photos from iPhone are not synced on the Mac version of Photos. They are uploaded on the iPhone version of Photos and the iCloud. I've been connected through wifi and a personal hotspot. Everything else is working (emails are syncing etc.). I've spent 45 minutes on two calls with Apple support and at the end, I got "you should be connected to power by a cord and give it 24 hours to sync". I mean... seriously? I've made those 40 photos using the iPhone at home and then went to a cafe to edit them. As I used to do with my old Dell and OneDrive. Any ideas? Thank you

Photos stopped syncing Photos just taken on iPhone are not synced to iMac. Last synced event appears to be Oct 18. Possible updates to iPhone and Mac may have occurred. There have been a lot. I'm not aware of any changes I have made to either device.
