Q: My photo stream in Photos

I have iCloud photo library turned off and My photo stream turned on on all my devices and I am logged into iCloud with the same account everywhere but I cannot get my photo stream to show up anywhere in Photos. Any tips?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

A:

Disable My Photo Stream  and iCloud Photo Sharing in the System/iCloud preference pane

and in Photo's iCloud preference pane.

Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

    Thanks! In the end the problem was that I had somehow created more than one library and I was not in the system library when opening Photos. Wouldn't have found the answer out without your help though.
