Why won't my iPhone upload to my iCloud photo library, even though it's turned on in my setting and I have enough spare storage in iCloud?

I have iCloud Photo Library turned on, for both my iPhone 5s and Macbook Air.


The problem is that my iPhone will not upload photos to iCloud. I’ve included a screenshot of both the settings on my phone and another for my Macbook.


My iPhone says that it is uploading 3,164 items, however this number hasn’t change over the past 2 or 3 weeks. I’ve tried a number of things like, opening and closing the Photos app, having it closed, turning the iPhone off and on, reconnecting to wifi, reconnecting the charger. Nothing has worked. I have 180GB available of 200GB on iCloud. Can someone please help me?


I am running iOS 8.3 (iphone 5s) and OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 (MacBook Air 13-inch, Early 2014), and Photos 1.0
