My photo stream on my iPhone is fine. But on my Mac it has not updated for some time. When I go into system preferences > iCloud the photo box isn't checked, same process on my iPhone it is. When I try to check it on my Mac it will say "checking library" then do nothing. I have tried repairing my photo library was well and no luck.
Hello, metro0308!
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! From what I'm understanding from your post, you have enabled My Photo Stream on your iPhone, but you're having an issue enabling it on your Mac. I certainly know how great it is to have your Stream photos available on all your devices, and I would be happy to help.
There's another way to enable My Photo Stream, so try these steps instead:
For your perusal, I also want to give you the links for these resources we have about the My Photo Stream feature:

Have a fantastic day!
Thanks, i tried all those. For whatever reason today, after adding it and removing it a few times it took and updated, at last. Will see how long it last.
This is definitely a bug. I have the same problem. It does not check the box in settings no matter how many times you click it. It will always appear blank when you open it up again.
If I check it in Photos it still does not update. The Photo Stream menu item does not appear unless I stop PhotoStreamAgent and check Photo Stream in Photos. Then the folder/menu item appears and rebuilds the stream but it doesn't update the stream if I take a new picture. Very frustrating.
Ok then report the bug to Apple - http://www.apple.com/feedback/ - posting bugs here accomplishes nothing - reporting to Apple usually results in a fix for bugs

I don't appreciate you snippy tone Larry...take your attitude somewhere else.
I was able to fix this problem by rebuilding the photo library and then turning Photo Stream back on. Now it updates just fine.
