Photo stream is not enabled

Problem:
My photo stream on my PC is not uploading photos from my iPad and iPod.
I get the message "Photo Stream is not enabled. Sign into iCloud to view Photo Stream" 
When i go to iCloud in Control Panel, I am signed into iCloud on my PC (with Windows 7).
When i click on Photo Stream, and click on Options, I am not given any choices with the Options, even after  i click Apply.
My iCloud Photo Stream was working a month ago!
Help!

First make sure iCloud and Photo Stream are installed on your PC. Connect the iPad (or iPhone) to your PC with the USB cable and start iTunes on your PC. Once your iPad/iPhone shows up under "Devices" in the sidebar (which you may have to enable), click it. Then click "Photos" at the top of the iTunes screen on your PC. Check the "Sync Photos from" box, and then under that, click "Selected folders." (Ignore the pulldown menu to the right of "Sync Photos from" -- the important thing is to tick "Selected folders.")  A pane should open up below that with a list of folders including "Photo Stream." Choose that and then at the bottom of the screen click Sync. This worked for my Windows 7 box.

  • I can't access my photo stream on my PC - it comes up with Photo Stream is not enabled

    - it comes up with Photo Stream is not enabled

    This is a known bug which should be fixed in a future software update.
    Press the Home button to exit the Photos app.  Double tap the home button to open the recent apps bar.  Press and hold the Photos icon until it wiggles.  Press the red x to close it.  Press the Home button again to exit the edit mode and try the Photos app again.

  • Photo Stream will not enable on my Mac

    Photo Stream is working fine between my two iPhones but has recently stopped syncing with my Mac. (It worked OK up until recently.) I checked if iPhoto Photo Stream is enabled on my Mac in Preferences, but when I check the "Enable Photo Steam" box, it flashes up saying "Enabling Photo Stream" but then comes back to the preferences screen with none of the three boxes checked. I repeated this a couple of times with the same result.
    I'm running iPhoto 11 ver. 9.2.3. I have rebooted with the same result. Any advice?

    My problem is not fixed, but it has gone away??? I tried to enable Photo Stream in iPhoto this evening and it worked first time. WT...

  • Photo Stream will not Enable

    Hello All
    I am using the latest version of iPhoto and the latest OS X version.
    I click on Photo Stream in the left column under WEB and I have the dfault Photo Strem page, as if I never used Photo Strem before, even though I have used it before. I click the Turn On Photo Stream button. The Enabling Photo Strem... progress window slides down at the top of iPhoto for a few second to a few minutes, then goes away. I am then back to the default Photo Strem window.
    I then click the No Thanks button. Photo Stream disappears from the left column.
    I went into iPhoto Preferences and attempted to enable Photo Stream. I get the message "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream."
    Any ideas?
    Thank you, in advance, for your time.
    Cooch

    Do you have iPhoto's PS preferences enabled?
    If you do and it's still not working disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively.
    OT

  • HT201077 If you are seeing the message "Photo Stream is not enabled. Sign into iCloud to view Photo Stream," and you have already signed in, apply your settings to enable Photo Stream.

    I have done everything that the Apple manual suggets to insure that I can transfer photos from my IPHONE to my Windows Desktop via ICLOUD. For some reason it still says that my ICLOUD (on my desktop) is not enabled!
    Can anyone help...please!
    Thank you!

  • HT201317 why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    why the last photos in photo stream are not sync with my iPad?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • TS3989 photo stream is not showing up on icloud!

    I have all my device photo stream turned on but I don't get anything. On icloud on my computer photo stream there is no apps for it I have the one for mail ect.

    If you are using a Mac, you need iPhoto 09 or better in order to see your photo stream photos. If you are using a PC, iCloud control panel will allow you to enable photo stream and choose which folder your photos are saved to. Photo stream is not available at icloud.com.

  • Received a notice that could not use photo stream unless I updated my software.  Went to apple preferences/icloud to disable photo stream.  Not allowed to do so.  What do I do to disable so I won't continue to receive annoying messages from apple/icl

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • HT4890 photo stream does not appear on my icloud, where is it???

    photo stream does not appear on my icloud, where is it?

    You won't see it on icloud.com.  It is only accessible by using an iOS device or computer that is signed intoyour iCloud account with photo stream enabled.

  • Photo Stream does not move my photos to my Mac Desktop

    I have loaded photos from my camera Compact Flash card to my iPad 3 using the camera connection card reader. The photos appear on my iPad after several attempts at moving them but they do not go to the Mac desktop computer. When I checked the Photo Stream album on the iPad there are only 8 photos there out of nearly 200, these went to the Mac but then everything ground to a halt!! The Photo Stream is obviously enable on both desktop and iPad as it did start to move them. As this was one reason I wanted the iPad I would like to get this sorted ASAP. Is there a maximum file size? My camera shoots around 10MB per photo.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes, you will need iPhoto 9.2 (of which the latest version is 9.3) in order to use photo stream on your Mac.

  • TS3989 photos in my photo stream do not show up on my windows computer

    Hello All,
    I have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and a Windows laptop. The photos in my Photo Stream are the same on all of the iOS devices but not on my laptop. I have made a Shared Photo Stream to try an upload pictures from my phone to my laptop and still cannot see that. The strange thing is that one or two of the recent photos taken on the same days as the ones in my iOS photo stream are on my laptop photo stream, but not all of them. So it is not a connection or setup problem. Any help?

    Do they play in iTunes on the computer?
    Are they from a different source or format that the ones that do sync?

  • My iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 8.1 laptop or my Windows 7 PC.

    I have been going through the forums for the last few weeks and nothing has helped.  Both computers are x64 bit.
    Problems I am experiencing
    A. Windows 7 PC has not synced photo stream since September 25
    B. Windows 8.1 laptop has not synced since a little before that.
    C. I can't upload any photos (.jpegs) to the photo stream.  An error pops up saying that they cann't be uploaded as they are not in a format supported by iCloud, even though they are jpegs.
    D. Photos are syncing ti my ipad 3 perfectly fine, so clearly there is a problem with my computers but I am totally stumped.
    I have un-installed, deleted all icloud photo stream folders, restarted and then re-installed the iCloud control panel on both computers, and it has created new folders and re-synced maybe 30 photos before it stopped again.
    I have uninstalled every single Apple program on my Windows 8.1 laptop and reinstalled iTunes, iCloud and Quicktime and that didn't help.
    I have toggled the Photo Stream on/off button in setting on my iphone, and that seemed to kick start the sync on my Windows 7 PC this morning, so far I've got 70 photos on my Windows 7 PC and that's where it has stopped but its a really random selection, and doesn't include the photos I took yesterday or today.
    Two of my colleagues at work where my Windows 7 PC is located - their photo streams are working fine, both using ios7 and icloud control panel, however their computers are x32 bit.
    I have also simply logged out and signed in again multiple times, however that doesn't do anything.
    I have unticked the "read-Only" permissions on my photo icloud stream folder, but that didn't help either.
    I have followed the troubleshooting from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989 - however that also did not help.
    I have tried changing the folder path for iCloud photo stream, however that did not help either.
    I tried the steps from someone who said they spoke to an Apple rep (steps copied from forum and I put them in italic) on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5381738
    Anyway, the Apple rep had me sign out of iCloud CC on my PC.
    Then on each iOS devices Settings/iCloud/Delete Account.
    Confirmed all the warnings.
    Then re-entered my iCloud id and password on the iOS device.
    Things restarted and the iOS Photo Streams got loaded with the number of photos that
    iCloud has.
    Signed in on iCloud on the PC. It synced the same way.
    Tried taking pictures on the iPhone and iPad. They synced everywhere.
    So I'm back in business.
    I just deleted everything on my iOS devices when I exited iCloud.
    My interest is the PC syncing when I take a photo on my iPhone.
    ME: Okay so these steps again refreshed the photostream on my iPhone 5.  I can see that the photos I took yesterday and today have been uploaded to the photo stream as I can see them there on my device.  I have also now signed back into iCloud on my Windows 7 PC and it is slowly syncing again, but just recognising the same photos it downloaded previously as per Step 3 which I did just earlier this morning.
    I have also just tried uploading photos via the upload folder from my windows 7 PC, and they uploaded perfectly.
    This is really, really frustrating.  I've tried everything I can find on these forums but nothing has helped fix the issue 100%.
    Can anyone offer something else I can try to reslove this issue?

    Hi all.  I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues.  Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
    But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem.  …without even a re-boot.
    Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
    Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive.  Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab.  Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
    Open the Users folder.
    Open your user folder
    Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
    Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
    Open the Installer Cache folder
    In Details view sort on Name
    Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
    Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
    When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco.  The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”.  Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
    I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
    For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear.  Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
    Good luck…

  • I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    You can't simply change the details.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
