Photos not uploading from my new iMac 24 desktop

For some reason and I have checked all the boxes, my iPad 24 which I want to be my main photos library and I do all my editing on it does not update my other iCloud devices when I add photos. When I add them on my iPad they update almost immediately except to this iPad 24. What is wrong

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

iCloud photos not uploading to MacBook My iPhone 7's screen has pretty much stopped working to the point I can't use it. However not all of my photos have uploaded to my laptop and I don't want to lose them. The iCloud is all set up and I have purchased extra storage so it is not a storage issue. I managed to get onto my iPhone settings and the 'upload to my photo stream' box is ticked so why are the photos not showing up on my Mac??? All it says at the bottom of my photo library on my Mac is 'updating'....

Photos not transferring a photo to iCloud For years, no problems with Photos > iCloud > all Apple devices. Now suddenly I captured a photo from Facebook > Desktop > Photos, something I've done many times. Photo is on Photos on my Mac, but not in iCloud or on my other devices. So I downloaded the photo from Desktop > iCloud directly. Once again it failed to appear on other devices. Under Photos preferences, iCloud Photo Library remains "on", but for several days it says "uploading one item". Under System Preferences, iCloud Photos all "on". Any ideas? Thank you.
