Hi Stephen,Thanks for your advice. I never ticked the option to upload all my
photos onto iCloud, just the "Photo Stream". I have a lot of photos (6,783) and
didn't want to pay for extra storage.Actually I can now access my photos in
"Photos"again but I don't feel that I completely understand what's happened.
Mac "Photos" seems to work again if "Google Photos" app is live on my menu bar.
Do you think that the Google app has relocated all the files of my photos? If I
look at Photos Library on my Mac it shows 37.08 GB used.Phil

Ooooo errrrrr.
I'd start by logging into your iCloud account and seeing what photos are in
there - if they all appear then I'd think that your Photos are safely on
Apple's servers. If you start photos with the alt/option key down it asks if
you want to rebuild your Mac Photos library so I suppose you could try that.
When I used the iCloud Photo Library I loaded up everything from my Mac photos
onto iCloud, which took about a week. Then switched it on on my iPad and I
asked if I wanted to merge my pics as I still had some in the iPad's camera
roll that weren't in iCloud. I said yes to that and they were added to the pot
and now they're all on iCloud and iPad.
I'm sure others will have sensible suggestions. :-)

Dear Friends I really need advice.This morning I tried to open “Photos” on my
iMac and, although its name appears on the menu bar, no screen appears. If I
click on “photos” in the “window” menu, a screen does appear but it is blank
and empty. Most of the other menu items are greyed out.Several things that I
did recemtly may possibly have a bearing on this awful, terrible event:-1. I
installed “BeetleCam” duplicate cleaner first on my iPad, then on my Mac and
used it a couple of times. All seemed well. 2. I purchased some file space on
Google Photos and backed up all of my pictures in Photos onto it. It finished
backing up yesterday. All seemed well. This morning Photos is empty!!!I still
have all my pictures in the iOS version of Photos on my iPad, thank God, but I
worry that if I sync my iPad with my iMac, they too will disappear…. All my
pictures are available on Google’s “Photos” but the quality isn’t as good as on
Mac Photos. I want my Photos back!!
Phil
