So after returning from a New Year's 4 wheeling trip, I tried to view the pics and video I took on my phone from my home computer, but they aren't there. My pics always show up immediately on my computer or MacBook, as soon as my phone connects to the wifi network. But Ive been home since noon, and no pics.

No settings have been changed on my phone or my iMac and MacBook. Ive tried restarting all devices.

Any suggestions?
 
Ive since tried signing out of iCloud and back in, and taking a pic. No photos are going to my computers, and the recent pic doesn't show up either. Frustrating!
 
When you said photos usually show up immediately on your computer and MacBook, do you mean the pictures are on the local hard disks of your computer and MacBook, or you can see them in iCloud while on your computer and MacBook?
 
Plug it with USB wire and transfer them to your computer.

I know I can do that, its just the point of the whole thing. I take lots of pics for work and play, and Ive never had to wait.

I see them in the Photos app on the computers. iCloud.

Could it be your iCloud is low on storage?

Oh I see, Im not using that icloud photo feature so not 100% why its not auto-uploading them for ya.
Maybe give it some more time or check to see if you're running out of icloud storage like someone else suggested.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm using 45 of 200 GB iCloud storage.

Ive now found that if I save a photo off the internet to Photos (right click>save to Photos), its not showing up either. I also tried to share a photo from my phone to my Photo library. It definitely is an iCloud problem.

Hopefully things clear up tomorrow.
 
Well all my pics showed up this morning. Cant really explain why it did that. Its always been seamless
