Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple SupportĪlternatively, you can sign out of iCloud on your computer, sign in using your OLD Apple ID, open Photos and enable 'download originals'. from here, you can select and download all of them to your computer and put them back into your Photos App that is using your new Apple ID. Go to and sign in with your old Apple ID & Password > Photos With that said, it's likely you have optimize storage enabled when previously signed in with your old Apple ID - so when you signed out and started using a different one, it removed your content. if you have 'download and store originals to this computer' checked, all your photos will be stored physically on the computer in their full resolution file size.

if you have 'optimize storage' enabled, this confirms my theory. You can confirm this by opening your Photos App, next to the  on the very top left click Photos > Preferences > iCloud It's likely that your photos weren't being downloaded to the computer physically, but being stored in the iCloud server to save physical space on your computer. If you created a NEW Apple ID, the content associated with the old Apple ID won't be seen in the new Apple ID (you now have 2 separate accounts). Each Apple ID/iCloud Account share the same credentials.
