Why can't I import photos from my iPhone to my MacBook Air?

Today, I've tried iCloud, Airdrop and Bluetooth and using a connecting cable but only a few photos have showed up in iCloud. So frustrating. My MacBook Air is "waiting". Waiting for what?

MacBook Air 13″

You need to have a good Service and/or Wi-Fi.
