Why are the videos i have taken on the iPhone 6+ not syncing to my iPhoto on my iMac with retina.. nor are they in Photostream on my iPad Air 2...
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), iOS 5.1.1
Videos cannot be transferred using "My Photo Stream". Connect the iPhone to a USB port and download directly to iPhoto or Aperture.

Thank you... so why does it give me the option to include all videos in the photo section on syncing?

Where exactly are you seeing this option? In the Settings.app on your iPhone? How are you syncing? I assumed you were using "My Photo Stream"?
The option is under photos when I sync to iTunes on my iMac. I am assuming now that I must import the videos to iTunes on the Mac in order to then sync videos to my iPad....

Syncing with iTunes is for transferring videos and photos from your Mac to the iPad, but not the other way round. iTunes Photo sync is only one-way - from the Mac to the mobile devices. iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
If you want to import the videos to the mac, connect the iPad to a USB port on your Mac and import to iPhoto this way. Or transfer them by sharing to a Shared Photo Stream.
That's what I finally figured☺️.... Thank you! Can you tell me why there are duplicates of almost all pictures? I'm hoping the new iCloud photos will help... It's really intimidating!
Are you seeing the duplicates in the Import panel?
If you are taking Photos with HDR enabled, you may be seeing the JPEG original and the synthesized HDR photo. Then the photos are not really duplicates.
But if you are seeing identical photos twice, you are seeing he camera roll and the photo stream at the same time. In that try one of these fixes:
