So, I have about 3000 photos on my icloud account that I have taken with my iphone. I have opened my icloud account and want to select them ALL and then download them onto an external hard drive attached to my computer - I want to make sure they are all backed up outside of the icloud.
I am doing my nut trying to select ALL the photos. I've been online and on YouTube but I can't find any of the icons they're referencing - some of the posts I'm reading are from 2016/17 - has something changed?
I can do it individually but I cannot do the usual 'select all/apple A/Cmd A' keyboard short cuts that allow me to highlight all the photos. Have just tried to access some help on the Apple forums but it is impenetrable and they are experiencing some 'technical difficulties'. I have just tried it on my MAC with no luck and now my partner and I are trying it on his Windows Laptop and it's still proving mystifying.
It shouldn't be this hard should it? It's quite a common procedure that should be easy to carry out.
Anyone got any ideas??
