My Photo Stream

My Photo Stream is not showing up in my Settings on OSX 10.15. And thus, photos are not showing up on my Mac from my iPhone and iPad., although they show up on each other.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

There are two possible reasons for My Photo Stream not showing in the Photos > Preferences > iCloud:

  • If your AppleID is rather new, My Photo Stream is not available. It is only available for users who have used it before with an old Apple ID. See: Get help with My Photo Stream - Apple Support
  • My Photo Stream cannot be enabled on a Mac with macOS 10.15 Catalina, if iCloud Photos is enabled.Is iCloud Photos enabled in Photos > Preferences > iCloud?
