Q: Photostream not showing on imac
Where is my photostream in photos on the mac , I have photostream turned on on my iphone and mac but pictures (if ever ) just haphazzardly appear on my mac, none of the pics I took yesterday are able to be viewed on my mac , they are just not there , (please dont go on about icloud photo library as I dont want to use it) its getting pretty bad when its quicker and easier to open safari (if it dont freeze) navigate to google photos and find the pictures there !
I want to use Apple so does anyone know why it wont work ... photostream is turned on on both devices.(At one time in the distant pass it worked)
In the perfect world I would just like to take a picture on my iphone and have it copied to my mac and be able to delete it off my iphone without it being removed from my mac ... is that just too much to ask !
Please if you answer just try and keep it helpful and not annoyed because im not finding apple perfect.
Thanks
Chris
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

You have iCloud Photo Library enabled. That is causing My Photo Stream to be hidden and will show the My Photo Stream photos integrated in the "All Photos" album instead.
Disable iCloud Photo Library, since you do not want to use it. Your iCloud Storage is full anyway. You probably did not sign up for enough storage to hold your complete Photos Library.
