So a few months ago I consolidated a few different Photos libraries into 1 iCloud library. I have like a TB of space on iCloud.
The consolidation went well and was working as expected for about a month.
Suddenly as of 12/31/18, Photos on my Mac will not download any new items from iCloud.
I currently have 80698 photos in iCloud.com (and on my iDevices) and only 78114. The status message in Photos alternates between "Updated Just Now" and "Updating..." It never brings down a new photo from the cloud and has been at 78114 since December 31.
I have iCloud Photos "on" and "optimize mac storage" chosen in the preferences.
If I add a photo/video to my Mac Photos it DOES upload to iCloud and all my devices. It just won't download
I've read just about every article about this that I can find online and I cannot find a solution.
The suggestion to sign out/in to iCloud doesn't seem very reasonable because it asks if I want to download everything first or erase.... If I agree to any of that its going to take me probably a week to get signed back in. I have a lot of stuff.
My Photos Library is 280 GB
Anyone have any advice about how to convince my Mac to start downloading items again?
