photo albums not syncing

I use Sierra with Photos V.2 and have about 20,000 pictures in 40 some albums on my Macbook Pro. Always had them syncing fine on my iPhone 6Plus. Had a separate issue and re-installed system and data on my Macbook Pro. Now, all 20,000 pictures will sync to iPhone, but are only in the "years" view. All my albums are listed on the iPhone, but nothing is in them. Thanks for any input!

Check this article:

Keep your photos safely stored and up to date on all of your devices - Apple Support

Perhaps you can find the reason there.  One example would be if you use iCloud Photo Library.

Thanks sberman but I don't use iCloud. Again, all the photos from my Macbook are on my iPhone, but they are not organized in the folders as they are on the Macbook. They are just in "years".

While your iPhone is syncing to your Mac using iTunes, go to the Photos page as shown here:

Check the "Albums" section shown at the bottom of my screen shot.  Have you got the appropriate albums you wish to sync checked there (either "All albums" as shown at the very bottom of my shot, or specific albums below that)?

Thanks again sberman but as you can see from the screenshot, I've set that correctly. Again, the 40 plus folders appear in the iPhone but, they are empty. Meanwhile the pictures are all in the iPhone but not in the folders.

Thanks for including the screen shot.

I don't know if this will work, but if your situation happened to me, I would try this:

Choose "Selected albums" in the screen shot you presented instead of "All photos and albums".  Then select every album individually (or "all albums" if you prefer) below that where each album is listed.  Then re-sync the iPhone.

I ran into the same problem. Apple Support helped me solve it. What I did was:

1. Connect my iPhone to my Mac.

2. In iTunes, unchecked "sync photos" and clicked apply (choose to remove photos from iPhone).

3. Then I checked "sync photos" again and clicked apply.

That resynced all my selected albums and they appeared again in the Photos app on the Albums page like they used to.
