Photos Beta Icon Missing from iCloud

Starting yesterday I've tried to access the Photos beta through my iCloud account on a registered device (Macbook).
On Chrome, the icon for Photos beta is present, but clicking in it only resulted in an error message.... Which I was just about to paste but now the icon is missing completely. The icon is also missing from Safari.
Any thoughts or solutions from anyone else experience this? I am also told periodically by my 6 plus that the library hasn't synced in xx number of days, but I see from the forums that this another issue.
Thanks.

I'm getting the same problem in Safari.
Have you sent the error report to Apple? Perhaps it will help to get the problem fixed.
The beta page - https://beta.icloud.com is giving the same error as https://www.icloud.com
Perhaps this is a good sign, that Apple is working on the next release of iCloud Photo Library (Beta).

Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
Genious Sidebar
I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.

Whole photo library missing from iCloud

Connection to iCloud photo library and Mail has been flaky in the past 48 hours.
I noticed missing photos on the iphone last Saturday night for the first time.
All photos taken prior to October 14 have since then gone missing from the iPhone5S.
(pics are still available on my iPad3 and my iPhone4 running iOS 8 and 7 respectively).
Have been trying to check the content of my photo library on iCloud several times using Safari to no avail. Connection times-out and the support form appears.
Please note that I can login to my account no problem and all other services like Note, Reminders, iWorks documents, Calendars everything works just fine.
The problem appears to be related to only the photo library.
Tonight I have tried on more time to check if things were back to normal but even the photo library icon has now disappeared. (see below picture)
A clear sign that something is not working properly on the server side IMHO.
Interesting enough, iCloud system status is not reporting any problem with the servers and if I take a new picture with one device it syncs with the others.
After two days I am now getting a little impatient and wonder what else could I do to solve a problem that appears to be at Apple's end.
I have tried to contact online support but ironically they ask me for a serial number in order to proceed. It seems like iCloud customers (I am a paying one) are left on their own. Quite disappointing..
Any ideas as to what to do and/or how to report this malfunction?
Thanks and regards
Pieter

Things have started working again first on the iPhone but not on the Mac via the browser interface.
Later on the day I got the photo library icon up and down but still no access to the library.
Tonight things are finally back to normal. Thank you guys for pointing this out.
Surprisingly, still no acknowledgement of any kind from Apple's side regarding a server trouble, if any.
This was a severe blow to my trusting into this cloud service as well as a reminder to ALWAYS BACK-UP no matter what.
Better to be safe than to be sorry

Photos missing from icloud

Hello, I'm a faithful user of icloud and all the photos I've taken prior to September of 2013 are missing from my iphone (over 1300 photos)!
I had to get a new phone earlier today when I left my other on an airplane.
I called iCloud earlier today, and they insisted that I had 1500 photos on my ICloud, and they should all show up on my new phone.
Any help or insight?

If the backup is an iCloud backup you have to start by erasing your phone. If you have any newer data on your phone that is not stored in the backup, you'll need to save that first.
Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.
Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.
There's more details on this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.

HT4847 Photo backup on pc from icloud website ?

Can i access photos from the icloud website taken on my iphone or ipad, but accessed via a pc ? I don't see a photo stream icon on the site ! This would make printing pics much easier.

You cannot access Photo Stream using iCloud.com.
To use Photo Stream on a PC you must download and install the iCloud control panel.

IMac 20" 10.4.11 blurry photos, blurry icons, missing menu items, etc

iMac 20" running 10.4.11, Was running perfectly, took Skype out of startup items, from then on photos are blurry, icons blurry, dock items blurry, minimize/maximize buttons in open windows are blurry, and items are missing from drop down menus....any ideas what could have happened? There are currently no items in startup items, what should be in there?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

All my photo's are missing from iPhoto and I'm getting a message "your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

Yesterday when I opened iPhoto all of my photo's were missing. After many hours of frustrating time looking how to resolve, I decided to try again this morning. When I tried to open iphoto, I got the message I referenced above regarding the library is either in use or has become unreadable.
My photos are not in iPhoto anymore. There's nothing there. iphoto acts like its never even been set up. I have iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3. I have OS X Lion version 10.7.5. However, when I go to "All My Files" and then under "images", there are over 10,000 images. I see my photos (I guess it's all of them - i have no idea how many there were) and other "images" also. When i go to "pictures" I only see the 15 or so items I have scanned. In "iPhoto Library", there is 1 picture of what looks like a deck of playing cards with flowers on them - I don't know where that came from. But also in "iPhoto Library" under the heading "desktop", it shows a size of over 27GB and under "kind" it says "package". Still under desktop and "Photo Booth Library" it shows 53GB and under "kind" it says "Photo Booth Library". Before I opened iPhoto to view my photo's, I went to "empty trash" yesterday (not in iPhoto) and it showed over 65,000 items to delete. There were no more than 200 that I could actually see. So, I don't understand. I let it delete a couple of thousand before I stopped it because I didn't know what it was doing. I know - not too smart. I don't know if that has anything to do with iPhoto or not; I'm just throwing that out there. Today I went to "empty trash" and it now shows the 200 items that I can see in there. Don't know what happened.
I do have a time capsule but not sure if I’m using it correctly. If you were to tell me to restore to a certain point, I’d have to be walked thru the process.
I downloaded “iPhoto Library Manager”, not exactly sure how to use it, but got a message basically saying the library nor the database could be loaded and that album data file for the library “iPhoto Library” could not be read.
I’ve spent hours and hours and hours searching the web for answers but I’m scared to do much of anything thinking I could end up losing all my photos if I haven’t already.
Please help!
Thank you!
James

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

ICloud: is there anyway to restore a file with photos that was eraised from iCloud with no intention of doing it?

Please, someone help me, i had some very important photos to keep and they were mistakenly eraised from iCloud. I need to restore!
It happaned on July 10th of 2012 around 11:50hr.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What do you mean they were erased from iCloud, do you mean from photo stream. Photo stream only keeps photos that are added to it from your camera roll, are your photos not still on your camera roll.

Photos in library missing from Events? I have a solution

This is a continuation from an answered question here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15830476#15830476, but with a new twist and a solution that I found myself. Hope it helps others:
After doing a corrupt library rebuild, I noticed some photos missing from events but still existing in the library. Read the above discussion for full background then come back if you'd like.
I found photos that I could see in "Photo" view but could not see in "Events" view. I even chose one particular photo by filename. When I searched for it while in "events" view, it appeared as the sole result but it did not have an event name above it like it should have (check this by searching for a photo by name while in "Events" view). It was just sitting there like a sad eventless orphan. So I grabbed that photo with my mouse pointer and dragged it over to the navigator bar and dropped it on "Events". And this worked! I now had a new event with only that photo in it and the event was named the same name as the photo. Now the photo was magically back in Events. Since this problem was occurring with a lot of photos we took over the last month and they were intermingled by date with other photos taken over the last month (from other cameras or imported from email attachments) that were correctly in "Events", then I went to the photo view, grabbed a whole bunch of photos, many of which were not in an event and some that were, and dragged them over to the "Events" item in the tree and dropped them on it. It gave me a warning like "These photos cannot be in two events at the same time so they will all be moved into a new event" with an option to "Cancel" or "Create". I hit create and oila, I had a new event that graciously adopted all the sad orphan photos and also kidnapped some photos from other events too. I just went in, reorganized them back to proper places (thank goodness they were all recent and there were only 250 or so and not 1000s) and I am happy. Provided this works in the long term, it was an interesting workaround for a bug that I don't know the cause and I'm glad to share with all of you.
By the way, I'm using Snow Leopard and iPhoto 09' with all the lasted software updates on an Intel iMac Core 1 Duo.

By the way, I was able to confirm now (I think) that all photos in the library are assigned to events by looking at the totals in "Photos" and matching it with the sum of photos and movies when "Events" is selected. Unfortunately, I didn't check to see if this was also the case before I did my fix, but if anyone is missing photos in Events that are definitely visible in the Photos view, please check these to sets of numbers and see if you can identify the discrepancy before applying my fix. That would be good proof of the bug.

PROBLEM! 1st I synced my iphone to Mac, then deleted photos to make some space, I think I deleted everything from icloud too! Please tell me there is a genius there who can fix this! is there a way to retrieve the photos even after deleted from icloud.

Hi, I know this is stupid, but without going into the how, I deleted important photos and actually backed up my icloud, so I think they are gone completely! I am furious with my self, is there anyway to retrieve this data from some space even if I have to be charged by apple ... just being hopeful...

Photo stream photos are not backed up, and when you delete them from one device, they are also deleted from iCloud and your other devices. If they were in your camera roll when you last back up you device, restoring the backup should recover them. Otherwise, they are, unfortunately, gone.
Also, photo stream photos don't use any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't free any storage up in your account.
You can't really use iCloud to back up your photos. It's designed to stream them to your devices and share with others, not to back them up. In fact, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. In order to back up your photos, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Or, if you have a Mac that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled, and you are using iPhoto '11 9.2.2 or later, go to iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and check Automatic Import. This will ensure that your photo stream photos are automatically imported to your iPhoto library where they will be safe (especially if you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac).

Bootcamp Icon missing from system tray...

On the 1st computer (iMac) that I installed BootCamp with Win 7, I have an icon in the lower left system tray for changing the booting choice.
Today I installed BootCamp on my wife's new Mac Mini and the icon is missing from the system tray. While it was about 6 weeks ago that I put BootCamp on my iMac, I don't remember doing anything that cause the Windows system tray to display the boot choice icon for BootCamp/Win 7.
Anyone have an idea about how I can get that icon to appear on the Mac Mini.
Both systems are running Snow Leopard with the latest software.

Macaby there are two separate components of Boot Camp. First is Assistant which runs on the Mac side of things from OS X. It creates/deletes the Windows partition which is necessary to install Windows. Next the Boot Camp Panel software which is installed once you have successfully installed and are running Windows. It allows tweaking of the Apple hardware from within Windows. It is installed using the OS X disc and does not jeopardize your installed Windows OS in any way. This disc also contains the hardware driver necessary to optimize the hardware in Windows. In my experience this disc has never started via autorun so you will most likely have to locate the Boot Camp folder and run the setup.exe file manually.
Don't know how much your wife uses Windows but if it's running well enough then you may want to leave it alone. Check device manager in Windows for any red or yellow punctuation marks. This will indicate a potential driver issue in Windows. Also check the Windows Experience Index for performance issues. A 1 anywhere indicates a driver issue. If you have no driver issues and Windows is running well enough you may want to leave it at that.

How to I get my photos and apps back from iCloud?

Yesterday I had to get a replacement iPhone 4S. I didn't have time to wait for my photos and apps to restore from iCloud and I want to do it now. Everything is saying "waiting" but there are no status bars on anything and after 1 hour, nothing has restored.

If you no longer have the phone or have any Backup of it at all, you can re-download your apps and your content from the iTunes Store by logging into your Apple ID at settings> iTunes & App Store. Unfortunately you can no longer recover the data that was associated with those apps.
So far as your photos go, you can recover any photos that were in photo stream and taken less than 30 days ago by logging in with your Apple ID to settings> iCloud> photos. Unfortunately you will be unable to recover any photos from your camera roll.
