With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
- what system version are you running?
- how much free space on your boot drive?
- how big is your library, i.e. how many photos?
- what fixes have you tried?
- where is your library located?
- did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
- are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
- what type of Mac?
- have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac?
- how are you trying to download to the library?
- what happens when you do? Any messages? What are they?
Apologies for tardy response. Up until 25 August photos I took on my iPhone 5S appeared in Photos. Now they don't & I can't delete any photos in Photos but I can on my phone. There is plenty of free space, my library is only circa 400 photos. I have a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. When I send an email & click attachment my recent photos are in Finder under Media > Photos, so they are on my machine but not in Photos !
During August whenever I turned on my laptop a box came up requesting me to sign in to iCloud, which I ignored for a few days but it returned each time I switched on my machine. Since I signed in the box has not reappeared but is this part of the problem ?

What setting do you have for iCloud in your system preferences on your Mac and in the Photos preferences on your Mac one on your IOS devices

Hi LarryHN,
I did not understand the latter part of your question.
On my Mac in System Preferences - iCloud photo library, my photo photo stream, & iCloud photo sharing are all activated.
On my iPhone - iCloud photo library, upload to photo stream, download & keep originals & iCloud photo sharing are all activated.

Importing - copy items to Photo Library ticked
