Fixing iCloud Photo Stream
For some reason my Mac suddenly stopped downloading photos from iCloud’s Photo Stream. The folder at ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub/ didn’t contain any photos taken after a certain date.
The following steps fixed this for me:
- Go to System Preferences -> iCloud.
- Disable “Photo Stream”.
- Wait a few minutes (this seems to be important, because the first time I tried, I turned it back on after a couple of seconds already and that didn’t fix my problem).
- Enable “Photo Stream”.
After this, the Photo Stream folder started filling up again with all the photos my Mac hadn’t downloaded so far.
