Can anyone help please?

All my photos have disappeared from my mac but are in icloud but not downloading. I have attempted to download by ticking the box in the app but it has been 'checking library' for hours and nothing has happened.

What can I do?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

The first thing I'd do is restart. If they are still on the web server, the problem is most likely your Mac. A restart can clear many common small errors.


If no joy, I suggest you create a new admin user, login using that new user and retest.
