    Unless there is something I don't know about, cameras can't use iCloud, so I'm not sure what you mean. Can you please explain this and also tell us whether your Mac and iPad is using iCloud Photo Library, My Photostream, both of them or none of them.

    Thank you for responding Winston.Sorry  to confuse, the camera is that on an iPhone 6.Everthing had been working ok up to two weeks ago when pictures to the iPad stopped ,All other devises are receiving almost insatantly and no settings have been changed.The iPad photos page shows two greyed boxes with iCloud icons as if awaiting to be filled?

    Hope this helps     (Photo stream and Library are on and Wifi is ok)

    1. OK, so you have a phone and an iPad using Photos, does your Mac use Photos too (your profile says Snow Leopard).
    2. On the iPad, does it say anything is uploading, downloading or preparing.
    3. Have you tried anything to date, such as restarting the iPad or turning iCloud Photo Library off and on again.
    4. Have you edited any photos anywhere in third party software.

    What happened when you turned off iCloud Photo library, this should have at least started the whole process again, even it didn't get very far.

    Winston, sorry for the delay in responding but had to leave the computer...but guess what ? after a fortnight photos are appearing . All of them .Magic, it must have been one of the  options as you suggested. So thank you for all your help  from a very happy man.

    Best regards

    Jim.
