[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1833986, member: 38864"] Wow. Well this is a complete mess. So I was on vacation and when I got home last night, I checked my iMac and MacBook Air to make sure the photos and videos all synced fine to iCloud from my iPhone. I specifically had some videos I wanted to merge together using software on the MBA. All is good on the iMac. The MBA? It started to sync, then kinda stopped. I could see placeholders for some of the videos but not all of them, and they wouldn't play. They never synced. After a couple hours, I let it be for the night and used the iMac to do what I needed to do. This morning, with nothing changed, I started troubleshooting. Toggled iCloud Photos off and on; disabled, then re-enabled Photos via the Apple ID preference pane; deleted the library and created a new one; nothing. Nothing will sync. I then signed out of iCloud completely and back in. Nothing. My Photos library, due to scrapping the old and starting over, is completely blank. The photos and videos are not lost and are accessible on my iDevices and iMac, but not on the MacBook Air. I'm about out of ideas, and patience. On my iMac, for some reason it got stuck in a loop trying to connect or sync to my iPad after I updated that to the new iOS release last night. I can't quit Finder to reset that, nor will the OS even let me log out or reboot. Turning the iPad off doesn't help. Catalina is a legit disaster. This truly is entering Vista-level territory.
