Fantastic experiences, special relationships, and super-cool items all need to be captured as memories, which is why photos are such an integral part of life. Now, if you've got a ton of photos on your iPhone, but they're not showing up on your Mac, so you can't back them up and store them, that can be a genuine problem.

OS X 10.10.3 was released Wednesday, and with it, a brand new Photos app for the Mac, complete with support for iCloud Photo Library.Photos is the future, yes, and with its release, we won't see any more changes to iPhoto or Aperture, but that doesn't mean those apps are going away today. Therefore, your best solution is to get your photos migrated to the new replacement app you have on your Mac. The new Photos app lets you easily import your photos from iPhoto. The following shows how to do the task. Hold down the Option key on your keyboard. Launch the Photos app from the Launchpad on your Mac.

If you have iCloud Photo Library enabled on iPhone, all pictures would be uploaded to your iCloud. Namely, you can simply view iCloud photos on iCloud.com. Follow the following steps to view photos on iCloud.com.

By default, the photos and videos you import into Photos are stored in the Photos library in the Pictures folder on your Mac. When you first use Photos, you create a new library or select the library that you want to use. This library automatically becomes your System Photo Library. See System Photo Library overview. Get the Google Photos app to back up and view photos on your Android and iOS devices. Automatically back up photos from your Mac or PC, connected cameras and SD cards.

But, there's no need to panic, because there are several solutions to this common problem, which you can check out below:

1. Check Whether iCloud Photo Library Is Enabled on iPhone

The first thing you should do is to double-check whether the iCloud Photo Library is enabled on both your iPhone, and your Mac. If not, only the images that are in the Camera Roll will show when you connect the device to your Mac. If iCloud Photo Library is enabled, the photos will be automatically stored in iCloud for safe keeping.

However, if you don't want to enable iCloud and have photos sent directly to the cloud, then you can just access them by going to the iCloud website and logging in.

2. Restart Your Mac and iPhone

If the first step isn't successful, then the old trick of restarting your iPhone, your Mac, or both may solve the issue. So, disconnect the phone from the computer, and reboot that device. Also, you'll want to fully shut down your Mac, and make sure that's been restarted. When you connect the phone back to the Mac, it may ask whether you want to 'trust this computer', to which you can just approve.

3. Update Your Mac OS and Photos/iPhotos

There's a strong chance that you might not have the latest operating system on your Mac, or the latest version of your photo management software (whether that be iPhoto, or a Photos App). Therefore, if they aren't up to date, they probably aren't going to function as they should do. Obtain the latest OS for your Mac, update your iPhoto or Photos App, and also check whether there are any updates available for your iPhone.

4. Rebuild iPhoto Thumbnails on Mac

If you're experiencing the issue at a different stage – you can view photos in your iPhoto library, but they won't display when you launch the app – then this will be aimed at you.

You'll need to make a backup of your iPhoto library, go to Finder > Application, and then select iPhoto but don't open it. Then, if you press Command + Option simultaneously, a pop-up window will appear. When it does, you can then select 'Rebuild Thumbnails', and relaunch the application.

Moreover, there's no guarantee that any of the four tips above will solve your problem, so what should you do if they, unfortunately, don't? Well, we're going to discuss another option which you can explore.
