Q: Transfer photos automatically from i-phone to i-photo on the mac.

Make sure your turned on My Photo Stream in Settings>iCloud>Photos on your phone, and that after you take a photo it appears in the my photo stream album on your phone after a minute or so (when connected to wifi, your have the camera app closed, and you have at least 20% battery life remaining).  That will confirm that your photos are being added to photo stream.  Then on your Mac, make sure that you are running iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or higher, and that you have checked Photos in System Preferences>iCloud.  Also open iPhoto and confirm that My Photo stream is checked in iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud.  (Also check Automatic Import if you want them to be automatically imported to your events.)

On you Mac setup iCloud in the System/iCloud preferences to include Photo Stream:

And in iPhoto's iCloud preference pane set the settings to be as shown in this screenshot:

On your iPhone the settings should be Photo Stream On:

Now every photo taken by your iPhone will be automatically uploaded to  your iPhoto library on the Mac when the iPhone is connected to WiFi.
