I am trying to sign out of an iCloud account but the Photos app is not allowing it to happen.
I am going in via System Preferences > iCloud and click "Sign Out". I then get a message saying:
"Open Photos to disable iCloud Photos."
When I go to photo preference, then iCloud this is all I see.
Any idea what I am missing or doing wrong?
Hey there joealee,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having issues turning off iCloud Photos. We’ll be happy to help with this.
It looks like you may have more than one Photo Library and are not using the System Photo Library. Quit Photos and then press and hold the Options key while opening Photos back up. Choose the Photos library you use with iCloud and then you should be able to turn it off. You can read more about this here:
Change preferences in Photos on Mac
Designate a System Photo Library in Photos
We hope this helps.
Take care.
Cannot sign out of iCloud. Photos app not updating
