Great advice! I found it didn’t work for me so I did everything you suggested PLUS:ġ.

Open the Photos app again and, after a few moments, all of your latest photos should start importing from My Photo Stream.

Once all of the processes mentioned in step 4 are gone, you can quit Activity Monitor.

For “Photos Agent” and each of the ones starting with “com.apple” click on the row to select it, and then click the X icon in the upper-left.

There should be a few rows left on the screen.

In Activity Monitor, search for “photos” in the upper-right to filter through the list of running processes.

Launch the Activity Monitor app, which is located under Utilities in the Applications folder.

If both of these are already set correctly, follow the steps below:

The My Photo Stream option should be turned on there. Second, confirm the same on your iPhone or iPad by going to Settings > iCloud > Photos. Click the iCloud tab and ensure the My Photo Stream box is checked. But first, confirm that My Photo Stream is enabled on your Mac by going to the Photos app, then Photos > Preferences in the menu bar. If you’re experiencing this issue and want to get My Photo Stream to start working on your Mac again, the fix should be easy. I hadn’t changed any settings to cause it – Photo Stream was just suddenly not working on my Mac anymore. It seemed to start a couple weeks ago, as I noticed my most recent pictures were missing from the Photos library. After using the new app for several months without issue, I recently ran into a problem that prevented my iPhone photos from showing up on my Mac. For most people, the transition was smooth and Photos has been a great upgrade to a much more modern and streamlined app. Here’s how to make My Photo Stream start syncing to Photos again.Īpple released Photos for Mac as a replacement for iPhoto earlier this year. That means photos from your iPhone and iPad aren’t making their way onto your Mac like you would expect. Apple’s new Photos app for Mac may suddenly stop automatically importing images from My Photo Stream.
