ICloud Photo Library is probably the easiest way to keep your photos on Mac and iPhone in sync, but you do need a newer Mac that can get the Photos app on it (macOS Yosemite and later). Here's how to enable the iCloud Photo Library. Launch the Photos app on your Mac. The initial syncing process may take a while depending on your media library, so keep the Mac (and iPhone or other devices) turned on and plugged in. You may find that leaving them on overnight is a good way too make sure everything is synced properly to iCloud Photos initially. Now that the Mac and iPhone are set to sync calendars with iCloud, you’ll be able to access the same calendar on both devices. If the switch was already on/green, your Mac's calendar should already be synced to iCloud. The first in our list is SyncMate.One of the most multi-optional apps for iPhone and Mac synchronization. Not only SyncMate offers the wide range of sync options (you can sync personal data, media files, folders, reminders, bookmarks and so on), but also allows mounting iPhone as macOS disk, texting directly from your Mac, checking call history on computer and backing up iPhone’s data on Mac.
If you mean have the same apps on both devices then you can redownload them (if they are still in the store and are compatible with the device e.g. Some apps are iPad only, some are iPhone only) via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on the device that they are not currently on.

Make sure that iCloud Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders are available. If there's an issue, try again after it's fixed. If there isn't an issue, try these steps.
Remember to back up your contacts, calendars, and reminders, so you don't lose anything.
Important: Upgraded reminders aren't compatible with earlier versions of iOS or macOS. Shared reminders are also not accessible to users with earlier versions of iOS and macOS, until they upgrade.
After each step, see if you still need help:
- Check for updates to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. To use iCloud, your devices need to meet the system requirements.
- See if the date and time settings on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC are correct.
- Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all your devices and check your settings.
- On your iPhone, tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you turn on what you want to update (Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders).
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Apple ID, then click iCloud. If you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you select what you want to update (Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders).
- On your PC, open iCloud for Windows. Check your Apple ID and make sure that you select what you want to update (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks).
- If you sign in to third-party apps with your Apple ID, protect your account with two-factor authentication and use an app-specific password. If you don’t have devices that can be updated to iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan or later, you can set up two-step verification instead.
- Open Safari and go to www.apple.com to check your connection. If you can’t open the page, get help connecting to the Internet.
- Open a secure website, like your Apple ID account page, to see if you can access port 443. If the website won't open, contact your Internet service provider for help. Safari needs access to port 443 to update your information in iCloud.
- Keep your data within the limits. If you go over the limit, your data won't stay up to date.
If you still need help, try the steps for your device below.
