HT201077 photos for iCloud account cannot be accessed

I keep getting this error on my iMAC:
"photos for iCloud account cannot be accessed"
but when check iPhoto, photo streaming is turned on.
Any ideas?

You could try signing out of iCloud -- it will need to stop all the iCloud services and clean up the data stored locally. -- the log back in. It worked for me

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I have this problem every time when I open my computer; Photos for the iCloud account cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.

processor 2.5 Ghz intel core i5
memory 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD graphics 4000 512 MB
Serial Number C1*******TY3
software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
my problem is, every time when I open my computer I get this note, Photo stream and it says I need to check something? And I also cannot share videos from youtube… there is no option for me to share on FB..

For Youtube and Facebook.
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Safe Mode - Mavericks
Safe Mode - About
For Photo Stream, try System Preferences/iCloud - un-check Photos and then re-check.

There is no access to the photos to iCloud account...

Hi
After the last OSX update i get this messege constandly.
- There is no access to the photos to iCloud account "My@Email". Review your account information in System Preferences.
But I havn't got a clue whats wrong. I have checked that I use the correct password, and I dont know what else to check.
Anyone who know why this messege pops up ?
Kind regards Thomas

Hi Marga, did you get a DLL file, which you could copy directly into a Firefox folder, or did you get an EXE or MSI installer file?
If you got a DLL, try pasting it here:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\plugins
''(Note: you might need to create that folder if it does not already exist)''
For EXE and MSI files, some users (and some administrators) may have "broken" some installers last year when there was a malware problem that led them to create a software policy which prevents executables from running from the TEMP folder or from the \AppData\Local folder.

ICloud backup is unable to access the account, because email I used for iCloud account is been deleted. And my iPad is stuck with this note on a screen, can't go Settings. How do I delete my account?

iCloud backup is unable to access my account, because email I used for iCloud account is been deleted. And my iPad is stuck with this note on a screen, can't go Settings. How do I delete or edit my iCloud account?

You can eirther I think go on ITunes or if you can get to settings you would just go to iCloud.

Am I able to find out how many times my ICloud account has been accessed?

I'm afraid iCloud doesn't provide access logs.

There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
There is no workaround.
Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
AppleId you used to log into this forum?

Icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone

Hi I previously managed to set-up my iphone then lock it out by entering my passcode incorrectly too many times. In the end I have to restore the phone via itunes (which took 3 hrs)!.
I'm now trying to reset-up the phone, when I turned it on it remembered the previous icloud account the phone had been set-up with however it would not accept the password. Its now saying this icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone.
When i log into the same icloud account on the PC, the password works, however the find my iphone doesn't show this iphone as being connected.
Any ideas on who I can get this iphone working again.
Thanks Sadie

You cannot Bypass the iPhone Activation Process.
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

I have reached my maximum 3 accounts for icloud, i cannot sign in, even when i have a completely new apple id.

I have called up apple support and they have created a new apple id for me but i cannot make a new icloud account nor sign in. Is there anyway to make a new icloud account without affecting my other accounts?

When I try to long into Icloud my Apple ID is valid but not for ICloud account, how do I set up my account if I cannot sign in?

How do I set up my ICloud account when my Apple ID is not set up for ICloud?

You have to first create your account on an Apple device. You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC. You first have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

HT2954 CAnnot change the incoming mail server for iCloud account

I cannot recieve mail because the imap setting is wrong, but I cannot highlight it to change.

Hi, was it maybe setup as a MobileMe or dot Mac account in the first place?
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

When opening email on Iphone 5 keeps saying password is missing for icloud account? I have checked and triple checked all account details and I can access icloud on all other devices

New iphone 5: whenever I check my email, as it's checking the icloud account it keeps popping up "Password is Missing". I have checked al my account details and I am inputing everything right and can access icloud on other devices. I've rebooted my iphone and still no go - any suggestions?

You have to do the following to get your new Apple/iCloud ID signed onto your device:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is temporary):
Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete the iCloud account. Use your current Apple ID password when asked. Follow the prompts to delete the account
3.     Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to your new email address (you may need to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with your new Apple ID. Turn on the options you want sync'd with iCloud, give it a little time to push the info down to your device.
Cheers,

Asking for iCloud account name and password to play iTunes radio when I have done it in the past many times without this question. Will not accept my apple id and password. Will not save my changed password. Where do I start?

I have a MAC with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2, 8GB, 2.7 GHz, intel core i5. Until 2 days ago, I could click on iTunes radio, pick my station and listen. Then 2 days ago, I do this and system asks for my iCloud account id and password. Does not recognize apple id or password. I change the password, does not save it. Screen that lists 2 step verification asks for added security questions, I do those and still will not allow me access. What do I do and where do I start? I thought I should download the update to OS X. I did that, still no change. Please help direct me to where I need to go to fix this problem.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.
