iCloud photos: "network is unavailable or slow" -not loading photos

I'm trying to access my photo stream on my MBP so I can do a little bit of cleaning house and get rid of some files (instead of doing it on my phone)... I'm at home on a strong wifi connection, everything else works fine, my speed right now is 176mb/s download, 7mb/s upload ... I've been having this message since I started trying yesterday. Any suggestions?

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

I would uninstall the Symantec software and the CleanMyMac software using the Developer's uninstall instructions. Anti- virus software tends to interfere with the computer's operation while providing minimal to no benefit unless you work with Windows files. Most long time posters recommend not using antivirus software or cleaning software such as CleanMyMac.


Try quitting Adobe Creative Cloud to see if that helps.


You can also try quitting Skype.


After doing that, test to see if it is okay or more needs to be done.
