You will have to reset it.

Hi,


Thank you for your reply, but I managed to speak to someone over the phone and will have to update my iPhone system so I can see all the photos in the Finder window, then drag the things I want from there... Not sure how to see the iCloud files in my Mac Mini though; they should come up in the Finder but they don't... Despite having the El Captain in it and plenty of storage space! So, wish me luck! =(
