How to use Icloud without wifi on a PC???

I read on apples website that you can use Icloud using ethernet but how?? I downloaded the Icloud control panel and enabled photostreaming on my iphone 4s and have Windows Vista service pack 2. I take pictures but no pictures appear in the folder on my PC. What am I missing or not doing right. I've searched high and low on but can't find any answers. Please help. THanks

Mikeb1221,
I'm not on a Windows machine, so I don't know how much help I can be, but I can tell you that it doesn't matter whether your computer is using Wi-Fi or ethernet.  All that matters is that iCloud has access to the internet.  The iPhone does need to be connected to Wi-Fi for Photo Stream to sync though; it won't work on the cell network.
Before we do any troubleshooting, follow the steps in this article to reset your Photo Stream, and see if it resolves the issue.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890
It sounds like you've followed the correct setup process, but it doesn't hurt to check again.  Restart your computer and do a soft reset on your iPhone by holding down the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen.  Once both have restarted, make sure that you only have one iCloud account set up on each device, and that they are both configured with the same account.  Ensure that Photo Stream is turned on for each device as well.  For the iPhone, check under both the "iCloud" and the "Photos" tab.  Next, click the "Options" button in iCloud Control Panel to make sure you have photos syncing to the correct folder.  If the pictures are still not syncing, try placing an image in the "Uploads" folder on your computer to see if it will sync to iCloud.  Also, be aware that Photo Stream will only sync pictures taken after it has been set up, so images you already had on your phone will not sync.
Try to provide some more information, such as any troubleshooting steps you have taken so far.  Is anything else syncing between your computer and phone, such as calendars or bookmarks?  Did you follow an online tutorial to set this up, or did you figure it out as you went along?
I hope this helps.  Let me know if any of these steps fix your issue.

    how to use facetime without wifi ?

    A "solution" has already been posted - use Skype. 
    As far as FaceTime, no one here would know - we are not Apple or the cell carriers.  Since Apple has stated they are interested in expanding FaceTime, it's the carriers who are holding it back.  Contact your carrier, preferably with an entitled and demanding attitude.

  • How can I update backup of iPhone at iCloud without wifi?

    Hi Expert, Can anyone suggest how can I update backup of iPhone at iCloud without wifi? Wifi stopped working on my 4s after upgrade to iOS7. I have iTune backup but want to update at iCloud. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

    You can't. iCloud backups can only be done over wifi.

    You can, iPhones/iPads and Macs work, as do PC's once there is an open account.
    This is typical Apple to be honest. The only reason I use iTunes is for my iPod. Perhaps I need to find another mp3 player.
    You do not need iCloud for iTunes, I am sorry that you misunderstand but iCloud and iTunes do not require each other.
    I'm certainly not paying the inflated prices that Apple charge for their laptops that are quite frankly no better than my Dell.
    I've had Dells, they are worth what you pay, no more.

  • HT4847 How to use iCloud as virtual storage

    Sorry for my ignorance but does anyone know how to use iCloud as virtual storage for music n photos that I don't want on almost full iPhone? I have an iPad too and don't mind if these items are on there. Thx!

    You can't. It doesn't have an option that allows you to not have a copy of the data on your Mac. You can make the suggestion to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

    how to use icloud in an android device?

    The only iCloud facility you can use is the email: you can set up your email application to access the email on an existing iCloud account (which you need a Mac or an iOS device to set up) by using the settings listed here:

    How to play movies without wifi access

    Not sure what you mean by this?  If you've downloaded a Movie, then it will be installed on your iPad (if downloaded to your iPad of course) and it will play from the iPad as is.
    If this doesn't help, please provide more info about what you are trying to do.

  • How to Use Nokia N81 Wifi Facility as a Wireless N...

    Hai everybody, 
    Can anybody help me "How to Use Nokia N81 Wifi Facility as a Wireless Network Card for the PC using PC Suite"
     Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you wanting to use the N81 to connect to a wireless router then to pass on it's internet connection to your PC?
    If so that isn't possible.
    You will need to buy a wi-fi adaptor for your PC and connect directly to the wireless router.  They don't cost much now, less than £10. 

  • Can I use iCloud without connecting to wifi?

    I am using an iPhone 4. Is it absolutely necessary for me to connect to a wifi connection before iCloud works? can't I just use connect and sync everything using iCloud through my 3G mobile network? I thought that that's the point of iCloud? I do something on my iPhone, through iCloud, it magically appears on my Macbook Air. Or am I mistaken?

    Contacts, calendar, notes, email, bookmarks etc all sync over any Internet connection, not just WiFi.
    PhotoStream only syncs over WiFi to avoid congesting 3G networks and using up all your 3G data allowance.

  • How to use iCloud with my family's devices

    We're an Apple household with two Apple-using parents and three Apple-using kids.  We have two iPads, two iPod Touches, two iPhones and a MacBook Pro.
    Up unti now, I have used all of the devices with the same Apple ID, except for my wife's iPhone and MacBook, which use a different account because I'd purchased a MobileMe account so that her address book and calendar would sync. My iPhone, on the other hand, belongs to my company and data is sync'ed using Exchange, but the AppleID is still mine, there are no special corproate controls, and the Apple ID and apps I purchase belong to me.
    Should I simply migrate my wife to my AppleID, and use iCloud to sync her phone with the MacBook Pro, and leave everything else as-is? Then we will have a single AppleID for everything, and her Calendar and Address book will sync between her two devices, and FindMyiPhone will find everything with a single login? Are there any limits with using all of these iDevices on a single account?
    Thanks!

  • HT4910 Download from icloud without wifi

    Hello there.
    On my iphone 4S the wifi function stopped functioning. All attempts to repair failed. Part of the repair attempts was to reset and erase all data from the iphone.
    Now I would like to recover data from icloud. How can I download data from icloud without the wifi function on my iphone?
    Thanks and regards,
    Leopold

    When I am trying to restore my iPhone it says it can't connect to WiFi. So I have had to restore from a computer back up from 2011. As soon as it comes back to life the wifi comes on. Is there a way to get a more recent back up from ICloud? Or am I stuck in the past :-)?

    You cannot upgrade to iOS 7 via a cell connection. The upgrade is far too large. If you can't use Wi-Fi, you'll need to upgrade via iTunes on your computer. See the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:
