Hi there,
I’ve recently updated my iPad but since doing so the photos won’t load. I have plenty of storage available and have switched off ‘optimise storage’ but the photos won’t reappear.
thanks for any help
iPad, iPadOS 14
This might happen, if you disable the Photo Option in the settings for iCloud on your device, for example.
As long as the photos are still saved in iCloud/Photos, you can always download them again.
A backup of your data might be a good idea, in case they will get deleted in iCloud as well somehow.

Your iPad is connected to Wi-Fi and being charged at the same time?
Depending on the number of photos you want to sync, this may take a while and should not be interrupted. Otherwise the process will start again from the beginning.
So, maybe let it stay connected during the night and check the next morning for any progress.
If the iPad is charging, and you connect it to Wi-Fi and iCloud to sync, the Wi-Fi connection will not be terminated when the display enters standby mode.
Only if your device is not connected to the charger, Wi-Fi will be disabled during standby, to save battery power.
So you should be good, if you start the sync process and let it be connected to the charger over nigh. No need to leave the display always on during that time.
Thanks for your message. Is the problem that my photos have unsynced from iCloud ? i wasn’t aware of doing anything that made them not be in sync anymore …
my iPad is fully charged and connected to the internet . Should I attach it to the charger anyway and leave the screen unlocked and open overnight ?
Ok great… I’ll try.
so is it a common problem that iCloud can suddenly and randomly unsync all the photos ?
I wonder what they unsynced in the first place and how to avoid it happening again
