Since I goto Photos, the migrated photos from Aperture are appearing correctly (although all projects have disappeared) however new photos from My Photo Stream do not appear : Photos just displays blank rectangles. By right-clicking on the rectangle, it is possible to get info on the photo, which sort of confirms that the photo is there. However it is not possible to view the photo. Has someone faced the same issue ?
OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), new Photos App
Have you tried to repair the Photos library?
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the Photos Library First aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair".
But make a current backup of your Photos Library before you try this.
Thanks, I tried but the issue persists even after repairing
Actually the solution worked after a while : initially when re-opening Photos after repairing the library, the same issue was present, however after a while all photos began appearing. Thanks.

You're welcome. 🙂
It takes some time for the background processing to complete.
I had his issue, and repair didn't help any, but I discovered that the blank photos were all copies, downloaded from Facebook with cryptic names. The originals were still in the library (for the most part). I have all the original jpg files in folders, so I was able to recover any lost ones from there.
