Photos on MacBook Not Syncing With iCloud My MacBook Pro 13" 2020 model stopped syncing photos with iCloud. This started when I almost deleted the cache for the photos library. I tried the repair option that didn't help.

Unable to Open iCloud Photo Library I keep my iCloud Photo Library on an AFPS-formatted external SSD. Before I moved it to the SSD, I had it on another drive which was connected to my MacBook. I moved everything and put the drive on my new Mac Studio. Up until this week, I haven't had an issue using the drive on either computer, but I never used Photos much on my MacBook. Yesterday, I put the drive back on my Studio to do some work in Photos and was given the error: Unable to Open iCloud Photo Library error 4302." I did a library repair but Photos continues to give an error (3145). So I put the drive back on my MacBook and the library repaired and opened fine, although it hangs on restoring from iCloud so it won't download about two weeks' worth of photos. I'm not sure what to do now. On one hand, my Studio refuses to open the library and MacBook gets stuck restoring from iCloud, but the library at least opens. Is there something I'm missing? Some cache or something I can clear/reset to make things work again? I really don't like the idea of redownloading 500GB of data. Thank you so much! Dan

First check that the library is set as the system library - the circled button should be greyed out. (Photos preferences) If it isn’t, click it.

Then check icloud settings are as shown.

Also make sure you have enough iCloud space for your whole library, and lots of free space on your mac and phone.
