Found a fix for "Photo Stream NOT synchronizing with Windows"

After doing so much research, and fiddling around with everything. To those people that are having issues with synchronizing Photo Stream with Windows. After downloading the iCloud, install the program, and open iCloud Control Panel. Once you open up and enable Photo Stream, this is the solution. TAKE A PICTURE OF ANYTHING. Once you do that open up the folder, and you'll notice that the pictures are starting to appear.

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.

Photo Stream not syncing with Windows 7

Photo stream seems to be having trouble syncing with certain Windows machines. Mine is having the same problem. I was having trouble getting photos from the stream to my Windows 7 machine so I tried to uninstall and reinstall the iCloud control panel 2.0. Seemed to fix the problem until next reboot then it stopped syncing again.
Have seen numerous posts about this but no fix or attention. Since Apple support is pretty much non-existant with this topic, figured I would add another post about the problem in hopes someone at Apple would see this and look into it.

HT4623 photo stream not uploading to windows computer

iO6, photo stream not uploading (via iCloud) from my iPhone 5 to Windows computer. All setting seem to be set to on.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

HP B500 Wireless Bluethooth Adapter for HP Printer Not Working With Windows 8.1

I have been using the HP BT500 bluetooth Wireless adapter to print wirelessly to my HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer. I have been using Windows Vista, but recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. I learned after the upgrade that the HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter is not compatable with Windows 8.1. I have attempted to find a driver upgrade for the B500, but there does not appear to be one available. I have also searched the HP site and other sites in an attempt to locate an alter wireless blotth adapter to replace the B500, but have again been unable to locate one.
Is there a wireless bluetooth apter that will allow me to print wirelessly to my HP Office Pro 8500 from my laptop?

Hi @Raider83,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter for your HP Officejet 8500 is not working with Windows 8.1. I am sorry to hear this but happy to look into this for you!
I am not sure if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System. But sometimes with Windows 8.1 you can use compatibility mode to install an older version of the driver. Which might help the situation. Here is a link to some other Windows drivers, HP bt500 Bluetooth USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter Drivers.
Once you got a driver downloaded, follow this guide, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows, on how to install it using compatibility mode. It is not guaranteed to work, but it is worth a try!
If you still need me to look for other bluetooth adapters, please respond with your printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. As there are multiple HP Officejet 8500 printers.
Thank you for posting, and have a nice day!

Saved search for Photo Stream not working in Mavericks

I have a saved search for JPGs in my photo stream so I can easily access them via Finder instead of iPhoto. In Mavericks my saved search no longer sees my latest photo stream iPhone pics. Anyone else notice this? I can see them in iPhoto though. I've tried re-doing the search, etc, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Oh man, I've been beating my head on the desk trying to fix this. The only clue I have is that photos taken from iOS 7 (vs iOS 6) devices after about a week ago (wasn't there an OS X update recently?) don't show up in finder the same. When you dig through the "sub" folder to find the long-named folders with the photostream files in them, hit command+i and check out the "More Info:" section. The recent ones don't have anything in them (see http://d.pr/i/WKzR). Furthermore if you drill down to one of those folders containing such an image (see: http://d.pr/i/nIUP) and try to create a saved search from there it won't show up (see: http://d.pr/i/FOri).
I even tried to create an automator to pull those images out, but when you're searching for a file in any of those new folders finder doesn't see anything.
Not an answer for ya, just more confusion. Let me know if you get any bright ideas.

Photo stream not updating on windows PC

icloud used to work with my ipad and download the photos to My Photo Stream. It has stopped doing this. I have now connected an iphone to the cloud and all the photos have downloaded to it. Why will the photos not update to my windows PC?
If I delete all the photos in My Photo Stream it will only update some of the photos for a two week period. (back in November last year).
Any assistance would be welcome.

Hello,
Sorry for the trouble. That shouldn't happen! I am Vineeth and I am from the Norton Support team.
Can you please disable the Smart Firewall feature in your Norton product temporarily and see whether you can update the iCloud photos? If you can do that, then we may need to allow the iCloud application under the firewall.
Thanks!

Photo Stream not syncing with iPad

I am using:
1. iPhone 5
2. iPad 3rd Gen.
3. Using iOS 6.1.4 for both the products
4. iCloud on Windows Vista
Both my iOS devices are synced with the same Apple ID and PhotoStream is turned on in both of them. However, only the PhotoStream of iPhone is synced with my PC while the PhotoStream of iPad does not get synced either with the PC or with the iPhone.
May I know what am I doing wrong? Need help. Thanks.

Photo Stream not working on Windows in a Virtual Machine, but not on my Mac

Hi there,
since yesterday I tried to connect to Photo Stream with my Mac, but I can't. It works fine in my Windows 7 Virtual Machine with the iCloud software, it works fine on my iPhone 4S. The iCloud System Status suggests that all services work just fine.
However, as soon as I try to activate Photo Stream in iPhoto 9.2 (626) (App Store version, confirmed latest version) or Aperture 3.2 (non App Store version, confirmed latest version), I am presented with the message, which roughly translates to "Activating Photostream... iPhoto couldn't connect to Photostream", with an "Abort" button as the only option.
All other iCloud features work perfectly fine for me. Any suggestiosn?
Thanks!

confirm that it is activated in icloud preference pane ( System-Settings ) like this :

HT201317 photo stream not working on windows laptop

I have recently bought a new laptop running windows 7 and photo stream & upload will not work! Never had any problems on old pc. I have tried turning photo stream off in icloud and back on but still doesnt work. Any ideas please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried turning photostream off and on again on the phone.

Photo stream not transferring with iCloud

I have a new iPad and a iPhone. The first try I got pictures to go from one to the other. Now none of it works. I have iCloud on, photo stream on, wifi on. Can not get pics from iPhone to iPad and visa versa. Very frustrating.

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 Cloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

Icloud photos still not syncing with windows 8.1

i've tried all the solutions i can find on the web such as reinstalling icloud 3.1, installing old versions of icloud from my cache, stopping processess realting to icloud and deleting files in the appdata/apple computer / mediastream but not one of these methods have resolved the issue of the photos updating in photostream. rebooting my pc and not rebooting when i unistall or reinstal iCloud. The weird thing is photos in other shared folders within my iCloud photos folder which i've created update but not the photos in the my photo steam folder. All other aspects of icloud update work fine such as outlook contacts . i have a 4s phone so dont know if that makes any difference. does anyone have a new solution i have missed somewhere???

[b]Fixed it, had to delete the folder where the My Photo Stream was. I just created a backup of it and then deleted it, let iCloud re populate the folders and it came back.[/b]

Driver for OfficeJet J4580 Not Working with Windows 7 Professional

I am trying to install the driver on a new Toshiba laptop but the driver keeps failing. I have tried the Basic and Comprehensive drivers. After downloading, I get a prompt to extract the driver, then I get an error message that says the file is corrupt, cannot extract. I get the same error message with both drivers. I am downloading the drivers from the HP website. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I do not have the printer plugged in (it's plugged into my very old Windows XP laptop and works fine there). I have left e-mail messages to Support through the HP site and have not gotten an answer. Is this printer just too old for my new computer? Do many of the HP printers have problems with Windows 7? Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @OrdinaryHPUser,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you cannot install the driver for your HP Officejet J4580 on Windows 7. I am happy to help!
Full feature software and drivers, are available for this printer on Windows 7. So the printer is compatible. I would recommend to try the following steps:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software. (Only if the software is partially installed, otherwise you can skip this step.)
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 7).
Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this will solve the issue, and have a good day!

If I switch to iCloud, Outlook for Mac is not synchronizing with iCal and iCloud anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?

I normally use Outlook for Mac as the standard email and calendar programm. When I use the USB cable fro synchronising contacts and calendars with my iPhone 4s ther is not problem at all. iCal, Mail and Oulook for Mac are synchronising perfectly.
When I switch to iCloud, Oulook is completely empty and Calendar and Contacts are not synchronised anymore.
Is this a known problem, and is there a solution for it?

I have the same keyboard and do not have battery issues.
It may have something to do with using rechargeable batteries.
You can also try removing the keyboard then re-pairing it. Maybe a bad bluetooth connection is draining the battery.
System Preferences > Bluetooth > right-click (control-click) on the keyboard > Remove > Remove
Wait for it to show in the bluetooth list then Pair > enter the number sequence & return as displyed on the screen.

A possible fix for iCal calendars not syncing with "iDevices"

Hi everyone,
I had this problem in the past with my iPod and suddenly the same is happening to my iPhone: Calendars are no longer syncing to my "iDevices". This started with 10.5 for me, but ymmv.
There are lots of  Discussions suggesting to export all calendars, delete and then re-import. Resetting the Sync History in iSync's Preferences is mentioned all the time.
I tried all that, but it never worked for me. Sometimes the calendars list in iTunes just went empty and other times it didn't show all my calendars or only very old, long deleted ones. Since the behaviour is the same with my iPod and my iPhone I could at least rule out a problem there.
But today I finally discovered the culprit:
I am sharing my calendars via icalx.com and it turns out that sometimes iCal simply "forgets" the URL I have set there and reverted back to .Mac which I don't use. Reverting all the URLs to the correct values solved the problem immediately. All calendars do sync perfectly again now!
So if you're having the same problems it might be a good idea to check the URLs of all those shared (and subscribed?) calendars in iCal...
Have fun!
Björn
PS: It may have nothing to do with it, but I also deleted the Birthday Calendar during the process and re-added it via iCal's Preferences.
