Some 3rd party options are https://www.photosync-app.com/home and https://imazing.com/
Pretty scary that the sync feature in finder/myiphone does not work and won't move photos onto my iPhone.
I normally take lot's of pics then edit them in Photos and want to sync them back to my phone.... I am reluctant to try 3rd party stuff it's a feature the Trillion dollar company should have worked out.
I have last year selected und the photos menu in the finder app, and the app will not sync the photos from my mac to my iPhone. Why doesn't it work. I didn't select all 200000 pictures in my photos library but only the last year. No warning, no error, says syncing but it doesn't do the last year. It drives me crazy. I looked at iMazing, $40 for a feature that fails in apples famous software seems outrageous. My wife's phone won't even download pictures anymore thru Photos cause she's past 100k pictures taken and has never been able to remove them from a now completely full iPhone. Mind boggling why Apple can't have a software that actually does what it says it can do
Sync photos between your Mac and iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
how can they have this guide and it in fact doesn't sync the past 12 months pictures on my photos app on my mac ???? How do you stand behind software like that, with of course the link to their $$$$ iCloud service that when they finally lose your pictures it won't be their fault either. Time for people to wake up. Infuriating me how can it be that you need to pay a 3rd party company money for an app with features that the OS supposedly has ?
Photo synch and iMazing DONT sync!!!! It will not sync the albums and folders the same way. You have to manually do that. It’s a huge pain in the ***. You can use it to add photos to your computer but that’s about it. I’m still on the hunt for one that actually synchs. It’s so upsetting
Running macOS Monterey and attempting to sync my new iPhone to my new Mac.
Was first greeted with the "erase and sync" popup but while googling what that meant the popup went away.
Tried to sync the iPhone by clicking the sync button.
It appears to have synced my calendar & contacts but nothing else.
Verified that all items were checked to be included when syncing.
No photos were synced.
I do not use iCloud and choose not to use iCloud.
Hard to believe that Apple has resorted to removing the ability to sync photos between a Mac & iPhone without using iCloud.
What do I need to do to make this work?
What gets erased when an iPhone is synced to a new Mac?
Sorry -- I thought you were looking for a 3rd party software option.
why does my mac not sync Photos with my iPhone without using iCloud.
