I realized that none of the photos that were originally in iPhoto Library are appearing in my iCloud. All of these photos do appear on my iMac in my Photos app. It looks like they're in my Photos Library if I look at the amount of storage being used on my iMac (260gb) but iCloud is only picking up like 40GB. Please Help!
Appreciate the response Lindsay & leonie!
After researching your questions ... it appears my library is still uploading to iCloud. Given the size of my library I just upgraded to the 2TB plan yesterday. I had 200GB but that was not large enough for my entire Library. Given it is the 'older' years of my library that were not loading I was spending a lot of time on the 'Years' view and never noticed the status bar under the 'Photos' view that indicates I still have 16k items loading to the Cloud.
Much appreciated!!!

Hi, Pic2,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. I understand from your post that you're having trouble with the iCloud Photos feature in Photos on your Mac. I'm happy to help!
Based on what you've described, I'd recommend using the steps outlined in Get help with iCloud Photos - Apple Support.
If you still need help after that please get in touch with Apple Support directly: Contact Apple Support.
Enjoy you weekend!
Can you tell us please more about your migration from iPhoto to Photos? This may help to find out, what the problem is.
If the status is showing that Photos is still uploading, you just have to be patient. Are the numbers of items to upload still changing, albeit slowly? Then do not interrupt the upload let it run. You may want to change the System preferences of he Energy Saver, so your Mac will not go to sleep while the upload is happening.
You're welcome 😊. Good Luck!
