Q: Photos I take on my i phone won't load onto my IMac

Equipment.

I Mac

OS X El Capitane Version 10.11.3 iMac

( 21.5 inch late 2013) Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Cor i5. Memory 8 GB 1600MHz DDR3

 

 

I Phone 5.  iOS version 9.2.1

 

Problem:

Photos from my i Phone are loading to Photos on my iPad but not to my iMac.

Everything in settings on iPhone, iCloud, iPad and iMac is turned on. I have 183 GB available in iCloud. in iCloud on iPhone storage says 0 bytes available though when I open it, the total storage reads total storage 200 GB, of which 183 GB is available. in "Manage" iCloud Photos it says 15 GB using. I have 6399 photos and 35 videos. Why won't the photos I take with my iPhone and iPad transfer into Photos in my iMac when they transfer freely to my iPad and vice versa. My girlfriend has an iMac and iPad and her photos transfer almost immediately. All of her iPad and iMac iCloud and Photos settings are the same as mine. We both pay for extra iCloud storage. We have read some of the forums on similar problems and tried switching all the streaming off and on again but this did not help.  My iMac Photos is Version 1.3 (350.23.0) . at the bottom of the screen it says 15,099 photos, 21 videos Uploading 17,194 items ( 14.77 GB of 45.34 GB). This is how it is every day and no new photos ever appear in my Photos on my iMac.  It used to work ok last year - was very slow, but now nothing seems to be happening this year. I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitane.

Can someone please help.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
