Does anyone know what neeeds to heppen for (i)Mac Photos to sync with iCloud?
Sometimes it happens near instantly, other times it can take days. At the
moment, it's reporting 'Last Synced Friday' (today's Sunday), and in no
apparent rush to do anything soon.
Simlarly with Contacts. I've been on the phone to Apple support trying to work out why my Contacts weren't synching. It turns out they *are* synching, but sometimes it's nearly instant, at other times it takes the best part of an hour.
Yeah, it can be a bit random as to how long it can take. One thing I
have learnt with using iCloud syncing stuff, is patience. It's the
biggest single fix for most things that seem to not work as expected
(expected rather than documented).
Certainly with Photos, it can take seconds, or many hours, sometimes
even days if you've done a lot of work in a short space of time (like
add a lot of photos with locations and faces in them). It also depends
on the size of the library too (60,000 images here, around 600GB).
It's not always simply syncing, often it's curating stuff in the
background too, and all that just slows it down. Eventually, it usually
does catch up with everything.
Some of it can depend on the performance of the devices, some depends on
the network speeds (and reliability), some of it depends on what's
happening up in iCloud itself, and then propagating down to the devices.
