In the View menu, the option to show the sidebar in the Photos app is greyed out. I have closed, forced closed, restarted the Mac, you name it and still unable to get to not be greyed out. Works fine on my other Macs, just not this one. Any ideas?
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Thank You so much for this answer. Your clear instructions made it easy 👏-1F3FB;👏-1F3FB;👏-1F3FB;
You're welcome, Birdman 🙂
Easy fix: just make your "Photos" window WIDER. It needs to have enough room to have sidebar.
btw, the only way i can see the sidebar is if i choose the "Full screen" option. Otherwise i only get the photos with no sidebar in non-fullscreen mode... i have macbook pro El Capitan 10.11.6

Then also try to drag the left or right border of the photos window to make the window as large as possible. Then the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘S to reveal the sidebar should work on El Capitan 10.11.6.
Thank you that worked perfectly! Sorry if i didn't read all the previous fixes..
Great that it is working now for you 🙂
