More info...while the pictures I took with my ipad did show up in "my photo stream" on the ipad they did not sync down to my computer from icloud. there is no way of telling on icloud.com if they were even uploaded.
Secondly, I deleted some photos on my ipad that had been in my photo stream on my ipad and mbp and my mbp also removed them from the photo stream automatically.
But still not pushing photos from Ipad to mbp but as stated earlier they are moving from photos to "my photo stream" on the ipad itself.
Now I rebooted the ipad after turning cellular data off, so it only comes up and connects to the wireless lan, still doesn't push the photos. I then took a picture on my mbp using photo booth, added it to Iphoto and put it in "my photo stream". It did not push to my ipad(not even a blank picture frame). I then created a "test" photo stream ablum, took a picture from iphoto and dragged it there. A blank picture frame appeared under "test" on my ipad but after 30 minutes the actual picture never appeared however the caption i put on it did just not the photo itself.
Back ground, I am an IT tech working at a school and we have a prodomently MAC network, we have a huge GIG E pipe with over 700 public ips inwhich to NAT about 4000 devices with. Our cisco enterprise wireless routers through out the school are wide open and not blocking anything, our interior and exterior routers have minimum security on them since what most of what we use is cloud and internet. We have a small "business" foot print that is seperate and behind its own routers with in our LAN.
The only thing that has changed in the last few weeks is ISO6, we only started getting complaints about this over the past week and the staff and facultiy that I have looked at and including myself are all using IOS 6
