Hello - Do you have enough free space -both in iCloud and on your macbook?


Also stopping and restarting sync may well get things going - but it will also trigger a complete resync, which can take a long time for a large library. How big is your library? What does the status say at the bottom of the all photos view on your mac?

In what way does Photos not sync? Are photos not uploading to iCloud Photos or are new photos not downloading from your iPhone?

If you are waiting for new photos to download from iCloud, you have to wait until the current upload from your Mac into iCloud Photos is complete.


What has changed before the syncing stopped? Did you just import new photos or videos? Or did you move your Photos Library to a new location? Did you just install a system upgrade?
