Download photos from icloud?

Im having trouble to download all of my photos from icloud into my external hard drive.

When I go to icloud.com - photos; it only allows me to select Moments and download into my MAC.

How can I select ALL. "Command A" doesn't work, can't even select & drag all with my cursor.

Im sure there are an easier way to do this. Please help.

Thank you.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

On the "Album" tab open the "All Photos" album.

Then click "Select" and select the first photo. Wait a while for the page to load completely, then hold down the Shift key to scroll to the end of the page and click the last photo. This will select the range of photos between the first photo you clicked and the last photo on the page. Now click the "Download" button.


it only allows me to select Moments and download into my MAC.

Is the "Albums" tab missing or can't you select it?
