HT4906 why can't I activate photo stream in icloud? I have downloaded all my updates and have the software to run it.

Why is the photostream option in iCloud still shaded grey (unable to click on it)?

What version of iPhoto and of the OS? In the system preferences have you logged into iCloud and clicked PhotoStream?

Why can't I get photo stream or icloud to work with windows vista?

Have you tried quitting Pages completely, restart the iPad and then go back to Pages and see if they will upload?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Why can't we upload photo to profile page it is only 6.8 mb and error says it is too big

Yeah, about that... Apple stopped signing iOS 5.1.1. Because Apple is no longer issuing it. Apple only issues the most current software for a given device. See http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iOS6.pdf It states:
"Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive
license to download iOS Software Updates that may be made available by Apple for your model
of the iOS Device to update or restore the software on any such iOS Device that you own or
control."
So per the Software License Agreement you HAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE to upgrade to iOS 6 you agreed to use iOS 6 in accordance with that agreement and it doesn't give you permission to downgrade your version of iOS.

How do shared photo streams affect iCloud storage? Do they last forever or are the still subject to the 1000 photo/30 day rule?

Stay forever and don't count towards your iCloud storage use.

Why can't I use photo stream on my Windows XP?

I am backing up my iPhone using the iCloud but I realized that I can't access my photo stream from my pc. When I checked the iCloud Help on setting up my photo stream it says I have to have Windows 7 or 8. My computer works just fine so I'm not changing it to 7 or 8.
How can I access it on my Windows XP?

You can't. iCloud, and therefore photo stream, requires Vista SP2 or higher.

HT4906 why doesn't iPhoto shared photo stream update

I have created a shared phot stream on my IOS devices and they update ok.
I have invited others and they are allowed to post.
I can see all posted photo's on all IOS devices.
I cannot see any phot's posted by oyhers on my Mac in iPhoto.
iPhoto updates fine when I post from an IOS device but does not when someone else posts.
Ny ideas how I can see all shared photo's in iPhoto on my Mac the same as all the IOS subscribers

Are your IOS devices on IOS 7? And have your shared streams been created on IOS 7?
iPhoto '11 on Mt. Lion is not yet fully compatible with the new Shared Photo Streams format on IOS 7 devices. It does not yet allow two-way sharing of streams. The photos that others add to your shared photo streams are not visible in iPhoto '11. You will have to wait for an iPhoto '11 update, that will bring the full compatibility with the new Photo Steam formats and probably will come with the next MacOS X release Mavericks.

HT4906 I can't turn on photo stream

I'm trying to set up photo streamming but the checkbox isn't available.

Greetings,
Questions:
What version of iPhoto are you running? (iPhoto > About iPhoto). You want iPhoto 9.2.3.
If you have iPhoto 9.2.3 Try:
Quit all open Applications
Go to Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Sign Out
Click anywhere on your desktop (the background) and then go to the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen, hold down the "option / alt" key on your keyboard and choose "Library".
Go to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement and remove this folder to the trash
Go to Apple > Restart
Go to Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Sign In
Enable Photo Stream
Hope that helps.

Can't turn on Photo Stream in iCloud for PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

.....whenever I sign out I get a messgae saying that I will be turning PhotoStream off....
Why do you keep signing out, of course this will turn photostream off, it will turn everything off.

Re: How do I delete photos from my IPad 2?
Jun 3, 2012 1:24 PM (in response to ewabeach)
Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

Why can't I open PDF files on my iMac. I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license, as instructed then quit the application and relaunched it and I still can't view the PDF document. The screen comes out black. Please advice. Thanks

Why can I view PDF files from the Web on my iMac even after I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license agreement.I then quit the application relaunched it, as instructed snd still the PDF document comes out blank or black. Please advice. Thanks

Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

What steps to view what i have downloaded on my shuffle and delete the books individually so i can add another book and leave others in place

I would like to know how to view books downloaded on mt shuffle and delete as i listen to them so i can add a new one in its place. please advise and thank you in advance.

If you manually added audiobooks to the shuffle (instead of setting up automatic syncing), this is how to see what is on the shuffle and remove items manually. These directions are for the 3rd and 4th (current) gen shuffle.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, the shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle's name, to drop down its content list (indented below the shuffle).
If there are audiobooks currently loaded on the shuffle, you should see Audiobooks on the shuffle's content list. Click on Audiobooks. To the right, the list of audiobooks on the shuffle is shown. Select the audiobook you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one item selected.
NOTE: To view and remove songs, click Music on the shuffle's content list.
If you used automatic syncing to load the audiobooks, or if your shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, please post back.

Why can't I access Photo Editor. When I click on it, it kicks me off the Elements start screen?

I was having trouble accessing Photo Editor from the start screen of Elements. When I click on "Photo Editor" it kicks me out of the program entirely. Yet, when I click on "Organizer" it opens. What can I do? After I configured my monitor, I was able to access Photo Editor, but then it has gone back to NOT accessing it. Anyone have an answer?

Try a reset. Next try deleting and reinstalling app.

HT201317 Can I prohibit shared photo stream images from being forwarded/downloaded?

I wish to stop any images I've shared and are sharing with a group from being downloaded or forwarded from their devices. Is their anyway of write protecting the images to be shared by the owner only?
Thanks

Not at the present time.

Do you need to activate the "find my iphone" app on the actual iphone in order for it to work, I have downloaded an iso update earlier in the week.

Unfortunately my phone was stolen from my workplace on thurs & I didnt have the FMI app turned on.....is their any chance I can turn this on via icloud or itunes????

The app is only for locating another iOS device from the one the app is installed upon.
If you didn't setup the iCloud account and turn Find my iPhone on in the settings BEFORE the phone was stolen, then you can't track it now or activate it remotely.

Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
ERROR MESSAGE:
Photo Stream
Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button.
WHAT I NEED:
How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
What I've tried:
I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
I have photo stream checked.
I have my photo stream checked
I have shared photo stream checked.
I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
MY SET UP:
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
4gb of RAM
iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
