Downloading iCloud photos to Macbook

Does anyone know why iCloud photos are not downloading after selecting a certain amount of photos and clicking on download?


  • Internet connection is secure
  • I have restarted several times
  • Low battery mode is turned off
  • There is adequate space on my macbook
  • Software is up to date


After clicking several times, sometimes it starts the download but other times not. Can anyone help?
