Why are my photos not syncing?

Hi -

Can anyone tell me why my photos are not syncing. I thought that when you take a picture on your phone it will show up on your mac and ipad.


Thank you for any help

Yes, provided all devices are logged in under the same Apple ID.

I also have this problem, Photos are syncing between my iOS devices but not down to my iMac.


A couple of weeks ago I turned off syncing on my iMac and turned it back on and all my images downloaded. All was OK.


Now, my Photos have not synced down to my iMac since 4th September.


How can I address this, any help appreciated?
