My icloud account will not select photos, why?

I cannot get my photos on icloud. Under the preferences tabs photos has an empty box and when I check it nothing happens except a brief "checking library spinning arrows" then the box remains unselected.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi there Carlwein,


We understand you're trying to enable iCloud Photos on your Mac, and we'd like to see if we can assist.


Get started here: Set up and use iCloud Photos


If the issue persists, restart your Mac, and try enabling it again: Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac


Cheers!
