Hi All,
I have the 50GB iCloud option of which 3.3GB is free space.
My iPhone and iPad are syncing Photos, so all my photos and videos are in the cloud.
My Mac however will not sync Photos and and says 1,629 items have not uploaded 'Not enough iCloud Storage'
Any ideas as to why my Mac will not sync?
Thank you
iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.4
Hi Derbychap,
Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.
It sounds like there may be additional Photos on the one of the devices that are not yet in the iCloud Photo Library.
Have you checked the status on the iPhone and iPad? On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, open the Photos app, go to the Library tab, and tap All Photos, then scroll to the bottom of your screen.
Is it possible there are Photos on your Mac that have not uploaded to iCloud yet? You can compare the number of photos displaying on each device to determine the discrepancy.
One possible workaround would be to upgrade your storage to allow the Photo upload to complete, then manage your iCloud storage and downgrade your plan if you can get the usage below 50GB again. The article below will assist with managing your iCloud storage plan.
Hope this helps! Take care for now
Hi Thank you for the reply,
My iPhone and iPad show identical amounts, 4072 photos and 354 videos
My Mac says 4029 photos and 348 videos along with 1629 items have not been uploaded, not enough icloud storage space.
When I click on 'Manage' it shows that I have 3.3gb available
3GB free iCloud space but Photos wont sync
