HT4906 why can i not turn on photo stream on my mac which has OS X 10.7.4?

Why does my Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to check the photostream box in icloud, under the System Preferences tab? It just allows me to chose "learn more."

Photo stream requires iPhoto '11 - what version of iPhoto do you have?

  • HELP, why can i not see my photo stream or contacts on icloud???

    I have set up and turned on everything in my icloud setting on my iphone, but none of my photos, mail, or contacts are loaded on my icloud website profile. anyone know why? my reminders and calenders are there.... please help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos aren't supposed to show up at iCloud.com, only iCloud mail can be viewed at iCloud.com, are you expecting other accounts to be available.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

    Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

    We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
    I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
    Look at this app for the videos.

  • HT4906 can't turn on Photo Stream on my Mac

    i'm trying to turn on Photo Stream on my Mac, but the box to check off Photo Stream is grayed out so I can't check the box. My software is updated, and I'm using OS Mountain Lion. What should I do to turn on the Photo Steam?

    what version of iPhoto? Are you logged into iCloud in the system preferences? See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US for software requirements, FAQ and trouble shooting hints

  • Why can I not update my CS 6 programs to Mac OS X

    I am having problems with updating the latest Updates for my CS 6 programs *here PS and Ill. fx. And the notice says to contact costumer support, but only get a few Q's and A's.
    HOW do I get in direct contact (or chat/mail) with costumer service of ADOBE_

    Hej again Steve
    Ok sorry again
    But you seem to be quite into this field. (and I've unfortunately been
    'out' for a while). I used to be up to date, but now, it's all moving so
    fast, and if you're away for a few years then you're (screwed)
    I've been trying to get in touch with Adobe mostly for 1. update of my
    programs because I seem to have a lot of 'faults' in each (crashing, screen
    moving and such)
    BUT 2. also because I want to join CC and with the 40% off (as I have an
    original CS) but when I enter info, it will not accept my serial nr. NOW
    after your guidance I came across this site which shows that I am granted a
    ''free'' CC. Am I reading this right. _ ? I am no idiot, but yes, in the
    computer field _ I am a designer and a damn good one, but all the techichal
    (that is another language _ and heck, we all have our fields_ I go to a
    mechanic to get my car fixed, you?
    Just smiling
    Look forward to hear from you

    Thank you Steve / at least it seems that I can get a ''chat'' going.
    A few years ago I could mail them but now not that and no phone (or rather
    when I call long distance I never get thru) what I most want is personal
    contact. Because even if they list 20 or something common Q and A's mine do
    not follow in on any of the categories. BUT thanks again for the link.
    Maybe you can help me with others ... Just a thought
    I\m trying to upgrade my PS, ID and Illustrator CS6 / and I know from
    previous Adobe guidance, one should not just take the latest. I seem to be
    successful with my ID (but yet to prove when I test it, which I haven't had
    time to yet) BUT my PS and Ill come up with this (see attached file).
    Hope you can help. Anyway, you have so far.
    Because you see - I have an original CS6 and want to upgrade to CC soon.
    AND they offer a 40% discount if you already have the original. BUT when I
    type in my serial nr. it won't register this. I've been trying (no kidding)
    for a year now, if not longer. AND this is not in one of their Q and A's
    Best

  • HT4906 why can't i turn on my photo stream on my mac?

    I am unable to turn the photo stream on on my macbook pro. I have tried serching the more information and and found nothing that has helped. I want to be able to see my photos on my iPhone that I have down loaded onto my mac. I have the photo stream turned on on my phone but can check it on my mac.
    Can anyone help me.

    As long as your system and iPhoto meets the minimum requirements for the basic Photo Stream try the following:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Why can i not skim my photos?

    hi, my photos show up as black spaces and i have to double click each event to be able to see what's in them. why can i not skim the events?

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot.

  • Why can I not turn my phone on?

    Why can I not get my phone to come on?

    Without more info, here's a wild guess...
    Plug it in to power for at least 15 minutes.  Then, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    Well ....... good. And those watching over your shoulder can easily tell just what's going on. The rest of us have to work at a disadvantage.
    So, try this:
    a.  Say exactly what you are tying to do (we know that .... send photos in email)
    b.  Say exactly how you are trying to do it
    c.  Describe what you expect to happen or to see when you do it that way
    d.  Describe, completely, what happens instead, including any error messages
    e.  Give a complete summary of what you've read, what resources you've accessed, and what troubleshooting steps you have already tried.
    If you'd done that to start with you'd already have answers targeted to your specific problem. The more of it you do the better others can see what's going on and what the problems and solutions might be.
