HT201317 My icloud control panel does not allow me to turn on photos. Contacts, Bookmarks etc.. are ok

My icloud control panel does not enable the Photos check box. Cannot view photos on PC that are taken with iphone and ipad.

Hi Randers - thank you for the advice.  I signed out of the account on all devices, however when I try to go into iCloud on the Mac to re-input my account details, I'm presented with the following error message:
'Could not load iCloud preference pane'.  Is there something additional I'm meant to do to be able to load an iCloud account on the Mac?

  • HT201077 iCloud Control Panel does not allow Photo Stream to be clicked. I cant click on Options either.

    Photo Stream shows shared on iPad but when I access it on PC, Photo Stream is not clickable and can only access old photos that I shared from a month ago.

    iCloud is neither compatible with nor available for Windows XP.

  • Beware: icloud control panel DOES NOT WORK for icloud email

    Opposing evidence is welcome. Please comment.
    After dozens of hours, emails and chat sessions with both MS and Apple tech support (the latter escalated as high as it could go - "after this we have to refer you to engineering"), I was finally told by Apple Senior Advisor Ciara Ferguson that icloud control panel does not properly sync icloud mail with Outlook 365 (Outlook 2013).  After several months of working on dual systems I discovered that many (but not all) changes to folder names and filing of emails in various folders made in Outlook were not reflected on icloud and vice versa.   Ms. Ferguson has stated that icloud control panel "works better with calendar and contacts."  Obviously, this non-committal statement is grossly insufficient.  It either works or it doesn't.  It doesn't. 
    Allegedly, icloud control panel does work to sync other email (the example of an outlook.com email address was given) into apple devices.  This doesn't sound right to me either, since one can just add any POP or IMAP or Exchange account into a Mac device, so why would one need icloud control panel to interface?
    I remain stymied as to the actual purpose of icloud control panel, despite asking exactly that question of Ms. Ferguson on several occasions.  The Apple literature and its own setup screens suggest that it will sync email, contacts, calendar and notes with MS Outlook, but as to email, that is apparently untrue.

    I don't think so.  I'd like to sync photostream from two iPhones with distinct Apple IDs on our PCs and I don't see a way to do it.  It synced my wife's iPhone while she was logged in to iCloud control panel but not mine until I logged in (and disconnected her photostream PC syncing).

  • Icloud control panel does not install properly but only when trying to sync with Outlook 2010.  If I try to sync photos, etc. it works just fine

    Downloaded icloud control panel to Win 7.  Everything seems ok until you "apply" synching at the icloud control panel.  Then you get an error message that says "icloud control panel did not install properly".  Repairing in Windows control panel as suggested does not help.  If you do not try to sync Outlook data (2010) then it seems to work just fine.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • ICloud Control Panel does not recognize Outlook

    I installed the iCloud Control Panel but it doesn't seem to be recognizing Outlook.  In the Control Panel header, it says "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts and Calendars.  Outlook 2010 is installed and the iCloud Outlook Add-In is installed and running.

    I have the same setup as sceloglaux (Win 7 64 bit Home, iPhone 3GS, Outlook 2010).
    I tried a reboot, uninstall, reboot again, disable and close anything I can, then reinstall. Still the same problem.
    Athough I'm not sure if I got this message before:
    Outlook Setup Error
    Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.
    Clicking the report button brings up my profile dialog box, then I choose my profile and it just goes back to the error dialog. Try again does the same thing.
    sceloglaux - it sounds like you got it working. Care to enlighten us on what steps you took?
    Do I need to have an me.com e-mail account set up first? I don't want to sync e-mail, just calendar and contacts. I tried setting up e-mail in case that's the missing link, but I'm having trouble with that as well (separate thread, probably server issues).
    Thanks.

  • ICloud Control Panel does not sync more than 139 Images

    Hello Forks,
    i'm encountering a Problem with iCloud Control Panel v 3.1 running on Windows 8.1 Professional on a Lenovo Think-Tablet.
    When I enable Photostream it downloads excatly 139 Images and stops after that.
    On my Windows 8(.0) Laptop and my mac pro it's running fine tho.
    I've tried everything i found on the forums so far:
    -) deleted appdata
    -) deleted Images Folder
    -) reinstalled whole suite
    -) logged out and in again
    my Photostream contains ~600 Images
    Any avice?

    hello,
    so how is it possible that on my mac - on which i enabled icloud like 1 week ago - downloads 600+ images and my tablet, where i installed icloud 2 months ago downloads almost nothing?
    //edit:
    if icloud _would_ download at least the newest images, but it downloads anything in between my photostream

  • The iCloud Control Panel will not intall on my WIN 7 32-bit PC

    the iCloud Control Panel will not install on my WIN 7 32-bit PC. I receive the error message,
    "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program run as part of the install did not finish as expected. Contact your local support personnel or package vendor."
    When the panel finished being "backed off" my PC, I also received the following message,
    "iCloud for Windows Installer Error.
    The installer encountered errors before iCloud for Windows could be configured.
    Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
    Click FINISH to exit the installer."
    Each time I tried to download and install the Control Panel, these messages would appear.
    The Genius Bar was unable to help me and referred me to the ICloud Support Line. They were unable to help me.
    I refuse to believe that Apple is unable to solve this issue with their own software, but if there is anyone in this august community that can help me, I would be forever grateful,
    Thank you.

    I'm having the exact same problem, and the exact same error messages.  I have windows 8.1 64-bit.  I've tried looking for solutions everywhere.  I'm very frustrated.

  • Officejet J3680 Control Panel does not respond to buttons, just make "beep sound"

    Hi everybody, thanks for reading.
    The problem is that my (brand new) J3680 control panel does not work until I press all the buttons, yes its weird.
    Note #1: The printer works perfect when used through the computer (I am Linux user).
    Note #2: Once I have pressed all the buttons at control panel the control panel (kind of) works.
    Heres how this happens:
    I plug the power cord
    Now, the printers start and not even the Power button works, so I cant turn it off, each time I press any button it just do a “beep sound” and the LCD screen keeps the same
    The LCD shows this:
    0 Speed Dial
    <One-Touch 1>
    Now I have figured out what the LCD screen initialization means:
    0: Thats the times I have pressed the “Speed Dial” button
    Speed Dial: Thats the button I have to press to make the Control Panel works
    <One-Touch 1>: This is the next button I have to press after the “Speed Dial” has been pressed
    The printer then makes me press all the buttons (...)
    I think this is kind of some “Control Panel button calibration", because the LCD respond perfect when I press the button the printer ask
    The other problem is that I don't know how to finish this calibration or whatever this is, because I reach a point where I cant find the button it ask
    The LCD ends showing:
    1 Color Start
    <Hidden 1+Black>
    Where “1 Color Start” was the last button it asked me to press, and the <Hidden 1+Black> is the next one combination.
    Note that “Hidden 1” is not “1” not “Speed Dial 1”, I have just tried that combinations, but does not work.
    Please help I have to do this each time I turn on the printer to make the control panel work. Thanks a lot.

  • My control panel does not have flashlight,calculator or portrait lock

    Control panel does not have flashlight,calculator or portrait lock

    There is no flashlight since the iPad has no flash with it's camera. There is no calculator icon since the native calculator app available with the iPhone version is not included with the iPad's version of iOS 7. The rotation lock depends on Settings/General/Use side switch to..., setting it to mute audio will put the lock screen button on Control Panel. Setting it to lock screen rotation will change the button in Control Panel to a Mute button.

  • Control panel does NOT come up when I swipe up in ios7

    the control panel does not come up when I sipe up on the home screen [ or any screen ]

    When you start the pre-swipe basically start the swipe with your finger from the lower left-hand corner of the hard case then upwards... not touching the actual screen first (make sure you start the swipe upwards from the actual hard plastic of the case before touching the edge of the screen)
    then move your finger upwards onto the screen.  Now I can pretty much do it every single time when starting from the bottom left-hand side. Let me know if this works for everybody else.
    Still looking forward to Apple adding a couple of millimeters to the actual swipe area (higher) on the next update, This will make it much easier for everybody with cases to access the control panel. Cheers

  • As a new Macbook Pro user I was saddened to find that the feature of using keywords in iPhoto '11 does not allow showing same under each photo.  I understand this was available in earlier versions.  Any comments?

    Against TOU which you "agreed" to in order to post in these user to user forums.  If you want to "suggest" something to Apple, do so in the Product Feedback area.

  • I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. Any suggestions would be great please.

    I have set up our school ipads to be supervised by Apple Configurator and am using VPP to buy apps. I did this initially as our school internet connection was stopping us from being able to update the IOS and our County was offering a managed system, Lightspeed, which took control of every device in school which proved very expensive.  I now find the supervised ipads do not allow the pupils to download photos or movies etc. As we frequently use the ipads as cameras this is causing us a problem. We have a school imac that I use to keep the devices updated with Apple Configurator (not connected to our network), and this doesn't seem to offer any solution to download them either.  I was told there was a setting in Apple Configurator to allow other computers to download from supervised devices, but I can't see it anywhere.  I am very new to this so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated please.

    I assume you are wanting to take the photos and movies off the iPads?
    Connect the iPad to a Apple computer. Open "Image Capture". Any photos or video can me imported to the desktop or other location on your computer.
    I had this same problem last year and as we have no wifi I asked lots of people at Apple what I could do - no one provided this answer (a little unbelievable!). If you have wifi using something like dropbox would be an easier solution.
    Hope this helps
