Library iCloud Photo albums do not sync between Macs

One of my friends has an iMac and a MacBook Air (MBA). He wanted the photo library to synchronize between the two devices, so I did the following:

  1. Allowed to iCloud photo library on iMac (it's the master of the photo library)
  2. Created an empty library on the MBA and activated iCloud library
  3. Photos started the download on the MBA, but it does not show one of the albums that the iMac was
  4. If I could connect iCloud.com and look at pictures, albums are here

Any ideas on why the albums do not appear on the MBA?

More information needed

are these regular or smart albums / (smart albums does not synchronize to ICPL)

Downloads do not appear until the downloads are finished - what is the status of each device?

On the surface, looks like the initial synchronization is not yet over

    Try the settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize.

  • Notes will not sync between my Mac and my iPad

    Hello. I noticed that my Notes are not sync between my iPad and my Mac.

    In my iPad I have iOS 9, in my Mac I have the Mavericks.

    I checked in iCloud dot com, and my notes of the iPad are here,

    but my notes from my Mac are not there.

    I'm not sure but I think that this started happening after I upgraded to iOS 9 on my iPad.

    Any ideas that I can synchronize Notes between my Mac and my iPad?

    Thank you.

    You must upgrade to a later version of Mac OS X, because these Notes are created in the new application 'Notes' that is only supported by iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan.

  • Photos app: all photo album has not all photos

    Recently, I have synced my ipad, phone and computing in the cloud.  "All Photos" album includes not pictures visible at the opening to the top of the icon 'photos' at the top of the page. You're like this on all the devices.

    Can you tell me how to move the missing files to the "All Photos" album?

    First off you should move to El Captain since it includes new features and bug fixes

    as for the pictures - it's all photos and you can add or remove things - you don't give out any details at all but best guess is that it you are missing photos because you are looking in the wrong place - all the Photos is sorted by date imported photos

  • notes from the iPhone will not sync for Mac

    I use iCloud-based limited - find my iPhone, iCloud Drive, reminders, Notes, and news. Settings for iCloud shows these three elements under tension. Unfortunately, Notes does not sync to Mac now or never. Settings for iCloud shows that the Mac and the iPhone are connected to iCloud. I don't know if new is sync for iCloud, as there is no icon for it on the web page of iCloud.

    In settings iCoud on the Mac, it is not a single entry in notes even if there are 15 different notes on the phone which are changed daily on the lists. On the phone, there is a 0 for the notes in iCloud.

    As far as I know, Notes should work, but I can't say what the problem is.

    In settings > Notes "on my iPad" - account checked or not?

  • Contacts not syncing between iCloud/iOS and "on my Mac".

    Greetings,

    I very recently discovered contacts that I create on iOS website or iCloud does not synchronize to the section "on my Mac" (i.e. a local copy) of the Contacts and contacts created in the group "on my Mac" inside the Contacts.app will not sync to iCloud and iOS.

    I drove most of the discussions in the forum and tried all the remarkable solutions, and none have worked for me:

    -Put iCloud and extinguish in iCloud Prefs

    -turn on/contacts turn off in prefs Internet accounts

    -Group iCloud toggle in the pref Contacts.app pane

    -different versions of the above Contacts.app is leaving or quitting smoking in specific order

    On a side note, I also recently started having crashes repetitive .app Contacts when you try to type in the search classified all contacts; whereas research on behalf of any group has worked well.

    I went up to destroy ~/Library/Application Support / address book (after saving an archive on my Mac) and starting with a new "on my Mac' database.» Solved the crash of research, it has not solved the problems of synchronization.

    Finally, I resorted to copy all contacts to iCloud and hanging out in "on my Mac", which is temporarily resolved the question of having a set of contacts stored locally, so I can work in offline mode. It does not, however, solve the problem to know what contacts that were created on my Mac are gone, because they do not synchronize to iCloud in the first place. I hope that I'll have to go through the ugly to reimport process archive backup and try to merge more than 1200 contacts to retrieve those on my Mac, but then iCloud still will not have these missing contacts without synchronization.

    So, is this expected today at El Capitan and iOS behavior 9? How can I find out when manually drag the new iOS/iCloud contacts on my Mac? And vice versa?

    Seems to me Syncing should be only that. synchronization not only icloud, iOS, but also and on my Mac, just the way that it used to work.

    Anyone have any new ideas?

    Your first paragraph is normal. On my Mac contacts will not sync to iCloud. If you want to synchronize, you must add to iCloud.

  • If I remove iCloud library in my iPhone (but not on my Mac) I lost photos?

    I have iCloud library enabled on my iPhone and Mac.

    Everything works perfectly, great synchronization, all photos back available for me to see 10 years.

    Now I have run out of space on my iPhone, and my photos (despite the optimization of storage on iCloud photo library) are the main reason for this.

    If I disable iCloud photo library on my iPhone, but keep it on my Mac, what will happen?

    Do I lose all the photos?

    Once I did, if I delete the pictures of my phone are they so just deleted from my phone, but not my iCloud?

    Appreciate the help, thanks

    If you disable iCloud photo library on your iPhone, you will see more pictures on this device. iCloud photo library on your Mac will still have pictures. You should not lose all the photos from your Mac, but make a copy of your library beforehand should put your mind at rest until you can verify that he has lost. Delete the pictures taken on your iPhone will not affect your Mac or iCloud, but neither future pictures taken on your iPhone will go into iCloud photo library.

    How did you do that? Where your iPhoto library that Library stored?  In your pictures folder, or on an external drive?

    Photos may not be not open your photo library in iPhoto on an external drive and created a library of Photos empty with only a few pictures Photo Stream, if most of your pictures are missing.   Have you tried to migrate the original iPhoto Library again by dragging the icon of Photos?

  • IMessage does not sync between all devices

    My ipad/Mac will not sync with my iphone imessage. Until I reinstalled my Mac wasn't a problem. If I type a message to someone in imessage from my Mac or my iPad, it does not display in my iphone vice versa.

    imessages from my iphone will not only do not appear in the other two devices, but the response I get will not pass to the device, sure I typed the message. Even the opposite effect. Messages and responses to Mac/iPad won't go on my iPhone imessage.

    Should what setting I change to get everthing again between all devices sync?

    Have you checked that you have activated the same send to and receive to address on all devices.

  • My images full resolution stay in my photo library iCloud after downloading the originals on my Mac?

    Good afternoon

    I am currently downloading my entire photo library on my Mac from my iCloud Photo Library - I want to save the originals on a hard drive external.

    I've always had the value "optimize storage space", will be the full resolution original images stay in the cloud after the originals have downloaded on my Mac?

    Most of them is shot in RAW format and I still want their cloud to use Lightroom without having to import them all into LR first.

    Thank you, Aimee

    Yes, iCloud library still retains full resolution photos, unless you delete them
