…and still can't show which 114 images in my iCloud photo library cannot be synced. Phone says this since many years and iOS updates back: 10365 photos synced, Mac says: 10251 photos synced.

...and still can't sync read/unread and deleted status in iMessage between Mac and iOS

  I may be misremembering, but I think the deleted status does not sync on purpose unless you have “Messages in iCloud” turned on. On the Mac it’s under System Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Show More Apps…

    I have Messages in iCloud turned on, and still... Deleted messages would disappear in Big Sur. But read status wasn't synced for unread messages In Catalina if you delete an unread message on iOS, it will disappear on MacOS, but Messages will still have an "1 message unread" badge.

  Now sit back and wait for a million attempted interpretations on how this could be just not accepting it and that this is how it is suspected to behave. And just marking any message unread and read triggering probably some job fixing it so normal and needed step for this flawless feature to work. You might also be told that you are supposed to delete those messages on every device and that if you expect it to work automatically then you don’t get it.

So they’re both synced, but they’re not in sync? Perhaps it’s a Heisenberg type situation where measuring whether a file is synced itself changes the sync status.

If you’re feeling adventurous, something you can try on the Mac is to trash `~/Library/Application Support/CloudDocs` and then restart the daemons by running `/usr/bin/killall bird cloudd`. I only used that once, but it fixed all the months of odd syncing I had experienced.

This is easily fixed on the mac: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204967 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204967 Had the same problem and this fixed it.

  I remember that tool, it did not work last time it was recommended.

    You have to leave it for a couple of hours to consolidate the local SQLite DB and iCloud. The results are not immediate.

Mom had an issue where all her iCloud photos were syncing except the ones she'd taken after they renovated the kitchen. She had photos of everything but the kitchen synced.

I had a similar issue when I was trying to back up all my iCloud photos to S3 through the PhotoSync app[0]. I had about 600 photos that could not be downloaded from iCloud photos onto my iPhone. I ended up disabling iCloud Photos on the iPhone, then re-enabling it. This did end up making those photos available for download and the sync worked... it was rather nerve wracking though.
