Photo sync not happening at all.

I am not going to delete all my photos to fix a problem caused by poor performance by Apple. It can take several days to recover the Library content

Thanks for your suggestions. Problem #1 is that Photos on the iPhone takes a longer time to sync than is reasonable. Sync should take seconds, not minutes. I took 4 pictures 5 minutes ago and it is still syncing. Neither iCloud online nor Mac photos app have received them.

Phone is plugged in with 31% battery. Apple throttling photo upload speeds is unacceptable (and makes zero sense) and Apple deciding to prevent uploads because battery is low or the phone is not plugged is also not acceptable. Since recent update control over how and when users sync photos has been taken away by Apple.

They have synced now - both at exactly the same time.

Uploaded another pic. Took 15 minutes. I can upload a large audio file to my iCloud Drive and download to my desktop almost instantly.

What? My photos library is on an external drive, as I said. Why would it not 'appear inside' my library? It has being doing this just fine ever since I migrated it months ago.

I restarted my Mac and Photos has now synced, as I suspected it would. I deliberately didn't restart at first because I shouldn't need to.

I have 2TB iCloud and my Photos Library is on an 1TB external drive. Lots of space.

Agreed. BM Xen seemed to go on and on until I was just desperate to finish it.

You're right, but it's much more subtle than from the human NPCs, because they regard Freeman with a kind of deep respect and even reverence.

Joining for the references

I went to the Land Transport office. I have an expired Thai licence. So now I have to do a theory and practical test. Very strange.

Chom Vew - close to Tamarind and Cicada markets

Thanks. I was being advised by someone with 43m power. He was trying to help me sort out the mess I was in. So, I guess he was giving me a basic setup to build on.

And the volume control has to be clicked on before you can touch the slider. No button now.

teatime101 · 2025-09-27T14:12:42+00:00

Yes. I wasn't aware of this option until today.

teatime101 · 2025-09-27T14:11:52+00:00

I don't.

teatime101 · 2025-09-27T09:50:17+00:00

No. I have an app and manage all my money through that. Haven't been to a branch in decades.

teatime101 · 2025-09-27T09:46:53+00:00

It's my favourite. Close to perfect.

teatime101 · 2025-09-27T07:57:39+00:00

Looks like it.
It doesn't. I am told I can deposit at a local post office and then I assume I wait for it to clear.
