Q: I am trying to download photos from iCloud to my windows 7 pc.  iCloud says I have 900 plus pictures but I can only view about 50 to download.  How can I access all my pictures?

I am trying to download photos from iCloud to my Windows 7 PC.  iCloud says I have over 900 photos but I am only able to access about 50 on the iCloud library page to select for downloading to my PC.  Why can't I see all my photos.   How can I reach them for download.  Thanks.

    Hello, DonSelby.  

     

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  

     

    I understand that you want to download your iCloud Photo Library to your computer.  At this time, the iCloud Photo Library feature is only available on the following platforms:

     

    If you want to turn on iCloud Photo Library on all of your devices, follow these steps:

     

    • In iOS 8.3 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos, then turn on iCloud Photo Library.
    • In OS X 10.10.3 or later, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Options next to Photos, then select iCloud Photo Library.

    This means that you will be limited to accessing the last 30 days of your photos via Photo Stream via the iCloud control panel.  However, as a solution, you can download your iCloud photos by accessing them on a web browser.

     

    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

     

    Cheers,
