Q: Why is there a delay in my photos syncing to my iMac?
I have an iPhone 6 and a new iMac. I have the Photo Stream turned on as well as the cloud. When I take a picture with my phone, it sometimes takes hours or even days for it to sync over to my iMac, even when I close the camera app on my phone immediately. Other times (rarely,) it only takes seconds to sync and I did nothing different. Am I missing something? Thank you.
iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

One more thing, if your battery is below 20% Photo Stream is disabled until the battery gets above that level..
