I had about 600 photos in different files on photos on my imac. Now all but one of the files are empty. I can find the photos in the icloud photo app but have no idea how to get them back to the photo app . Any ideas? thanks
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream album in Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture
If you turned on iCloud Photo Library, you can find your My Photo Stream photos from your other devices in the All Photos album. If you didn't turn on iCloud Photo Library and you don't see photos in the My Photo Stream album, follow these steps:
- Make sure that your Mac has an active Internet connection. Without Internet, updates to My Photo Stream won't appear in Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture.
- From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud. Make sure that you use the same Apple ID as your other supported devices.
- Open Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture. Then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
- If you're using Photos, iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that My Photo Stream is selected. Then, if you want all future iPhoto or Aperture photo uploads to also upload to My Photo Stream, select Automatic Upload.
- If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, select Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import.
