Q: How do I force photo stream sync
My photostream doesn't seem to update quickly on both my Macs. Can I force it to update and sync?
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), Nothing special

All that said, the photos are suddenly showing up on my Mac after putting the iPhone on wifi, so maybe only iOS devices can see photos that were uploaded with LTE? Makes no sense!?
I don't know how your iPad is seeing the iPhone photos, but your Mac will only see the the photos after you connect the iPhone to Wi-Fi.The Wif-Fi connection is required to upload to iCloud, see this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201317
When do my photos upload to My Photo Stream?
Photos that you take on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically upload to My Photo Stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi.
