Photos on Iphone not uploading to MacPro

Photos I have taking on my Iphone are not uploading to my MacPro. I have all correct buttons on and have the latest updates including Yosemite. What could be the problem?

Are you trying to upload using "My Photo Stream"? Do no photos at all upload, or are only some photos missing?

If no photos are uploading, check, if your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, if it is properly charged, and if the Camera.app has been closed. Otherwise uploading will not start.

Otherwise, check this document: iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting

Also, there are daily or monthly upload limits: (iCloud: Photo Stream limits)

Thanks, for quick reply. I did all the steps listed in the discussion, including shutting off photo stream and hitting delete button. WiFi is running on both devices. Still no photos have uploaded from my Iphone to my MacPro

Great!

But did you not write " I have all correct buttons" in your initial post? 😉

I did but I did not know I had to go to preferences in Iphoto on my MacPro and select more buttons. All instructions I saw was make sure Photo Stream was on on all devices that you wish to have photos uploaded to. I found this by going to Iphoto preferences and noticing buttons were not on. I just recently downloaded Yosemite, don't know if settings could have been changed.

Thanks for the help
