All my photos are missing from Photos on Macbook. They are still visible on my iPhone and iPad. Any idea how to get them back on the MacBook Air?

You may want to check, if your Mac has switched to a different, empty Photos Library.

Lauch Photos, if it is not running, then go to the main menu bar "Photos > Preferences" and open the General Tab. At the top of the Preferences panel you can see the path to the currently open Photos Library, also a button to show the library in the Finder. Click this button. Is Photos using the correct Library? If not, launch Photos again, but hold down the options key ⌥ while launching Photos. When the Library Chooser dialog appears and more than one library is shown, select a different library. Are your Photos there?

But, what has happened, before the photos have vanished from your Mac? Dis you install a system upgrade? Did you move your Photos Library to a new location? Did Photos crash? What has changed?
