Q: How do you download photos and videos from iCloud to my computer?

The article says you can download your photos and videos from iCloud to your computer. But it does not tell you how! I just spent over an hour on the phone with Apple Support and they were no help. There is no option in iCluond.com to select all photos and download them. you have to select one at a time. I have over 800 photos!

    • Open an album, for example "All Photos", click "Select Photos".
    • Then select a range of photos by selecting one photo, then holding down the Shift key and scrolling to the end of your list of photos.
    • Click the last photo of the range. Then click the download button.

    You will see an alert about the number of photos. Confirm you want to download so many photos.
