HT201317 On System 7 I cannot enable "Photo Stream". The check box is dehighlighted

When I try to enable "Photo Stream" using
System 7 -> control panel -> network_and_connections -> iCloud
The "Photo Stream" check box is dehightled and therefore I cannot click to to enable it.
Anyone seen this before?

I had the same problem.  I found the fix in another thread.  Instead of logging in with you iTunes login, use your iCloud e-mail address as your login.  Worked like a charm.

  • Cannot enable photo stream or set options

    Attempting to enable photo stream under my wife's Windows 7 account.  I go to the iCloud control panel applet and tick photo stream.  I then attempt to adjust the location of the stream folder by clicking the options button.  Nothing happens.  I do not see an options window appear.
    When I choose Apply, close the iCloud control panel applet, and then reopen; photo stream is no longer checked.
    Has anyone experienced this issue?  Any suggestions on how to resolve?
    Her account is not an administrator account.  Does this app need admin privs?
    Thanks for the help,

  • Iphoto will not enable photo stream

    My iPhoto will not enable Photo Stream.  All software is up to date and I have the latest version of iPhoto, in fact Photo Stream was working last week on my Mac.  Now all I get is the msg "iPhoto cannot enable Photo Stream".  Any thoughts ??

    Hey dave2468, as you can tell by my original post, this problem surfaced several months ago and out of frustration for lack of an answer to the problem - I called Apple for support.  I was fully prepared to spend the $50 bucks to resolve this issue but fortunately didn't have to.  My problem did get resolved after about 1 &1/2 hours on the phone and the solution revolved around resetting my password for my account...can't tell you why other than ghost in the machine issue.  Yours may be different issue but wanted to let you know how this ultimately got resolved.  I have had no further issues relative to this problem since my phone consultation.  Best of luck - I know how frustrating these things can be.

  • Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    With Aperture, you should be able to use Photo Stream now, but you need iPhoto 9.4.2 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1608
    After updating iPhoto to the latest version, open System Preferences > iCloud and tick Photo Stream. Finally, you will have to turn on Photo Stream on iPhoto and Aperture choosing Photo Stream on the sidebar of both programmes

  • Cannot get photo stream to work on MAC, it does work on iPhone and pad.  All are turned on and settings correct

    I have a new MAC desktop 10.9 OSX Since I purchased I have not get photo stream to work, it is correctly on i believe.  I have the latest iphone, and an older i pad and they are streaming my pics, Help?

    Hello, 9914. 
    Thank you for the question.  If the Apple ID used for your iOS devices matches what is being used on the computer, try disabling Photo Stream and enabling it again.  Next, try the steps in the article below. 
    I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
    Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream will not appear in iPhoto or Aperture. If necessary, review the instructions for troubleshooting your Internet connection on your Mac.
    From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud. Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
    If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later, or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. If you'd like all new photos that you've uploaded to your iPhoto or Aperture library to be uploaded to My Photo Stream, make sure that the Automatic Upload checkbox is selected as well.
    If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, make sure that the Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import checkboxes are selected.

  • Can't enable photo stream, doesn't respond???

    Can't enable photo stream, doesn't resond???

    You are logged in to your iCloud account on your iMac, right?  If so then disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Error enabling photo stream "iphoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream"

    Whenever I try to enable Photo Stream, it times out after awhile, and I get the following error: "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream." (see below [1]).  I "tcpdump" shows that the computer is trying to open connections to akamai (unrelated?) but not apple.  I am using iPhoto 9.2 build 626.
    There is one oddity in this scenario : I have one iCloud account that I am trying to use between three computers.  I was able to register iPhoto on my mac book pro, but it is failing on my second.
    thanks in advance,

    Good catch, nifmus.  I'm kicking myself for not checking system.log earlier!   I have very similar messages in mine.
    By any chance is your Library folder (or part of it) relocated to a separate disk?  Or your entire home folder?  I have part of my Library folder on a SSD for speed, but my home folder and some of the larger Library subdirectories are on a regular disk because they wouldn't fit on the small SSD.  It's all tied together with symbolic links, and without problems... until Photo Stream came along and didn't like it.
    I knew that sandboxd was involved somehow, but your post prompted me to focus on it.  It's definitely the problem here.  I found the following sandbox profile file inside the iPhoto application bundle:
    /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/PhotoStreamAgent.app/Conten ts/Resources/PhotoStreamAgent.sb
    Inside this file are a bunch of definitions to control what PhotoStreamAgent is allowed to do.  There are a bunch of lines under an allow-file-write* declaration which should allow PhotoStreamAgent to write to the above files listed in your log.  Lines such as:
           (home-regex #"/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement")
           (home-regex #"/Library/Preferences/com\.apple\.iLifeAssetManagement\.crash\.plist(\.[^/]+)? $")
    And many others.  In my case, I suspect that the problem may be related to the fact that the final absolute path of those files may differ from what you'd get if you just substituted my home directory in for "home-regex" since I have stuff relocated around.  Although since I was able to get it working with a blank home directory, also put in place via a symbolic link (so the final path differs), I'm not 100% sure of this.
    What I do know right now is that there is a quick "hack" that fixed it for me.  I don't like the hack and would strongly recommend against it, because it's likely to break the next time there's a software update for iPhoto.  But it works until I can find a permanent solution.
    To make it work, I edited the above file and changed the second line from "(deny default)" to "(allow default)".  This, of course, defeats the whole purpose of the sandbox by allowing PhotoStreamAgent to do anything it wants, but it also allows stuff that is really supposed to be allowed but fails anyway for us.
    If you want to try this, it helps to be familiar with the unix underpinnings of OS X.  There's probably a way to do it in the normal graphical user interface, but as a longtime unix guy, I just jumped to the command line and did a "sudo vi (that long filename)".  To do it via the gui method, you'll have to navigate to that folder in Finder (quickest way is to hit Cmd-Shift-G and copy/paste the path, or right-click iPhoto and "Show Package Contents", then drill down to the file), edit the file, save a copy (because you don't have permission to modify it), then copy the new version over the old (it will ask for an admin password).
    Again, I don't recommend this because it's likely to break in the future and defeats the security that Apple intended with the sandbox, but it's a quick fix.  I'll continue to investigate as I have time, trying to find out precisely what's causing the failure with the default sandbox profile.

  • Every time I launch iPhoto 11 i have to enable Photo Stream. It won't stay on.

    After activating iCloud, and setting all my preferences appropriately, iPhoto was actively downloading my Photo Stream into my library.
    But the last few days it stopped. I finally discovered that in my iPhoto preferences the option to enable Photo Stream was no longer clicked. If I click it, it starts pulling from the cloud. If I quit iPhoto, and relaunch it is still enabled and will begin again to pull from the cloud.
    But if I restart my computer or log off, when I launch iPhoto I need to enable Photo Stream again.
    I am on Lion. All software is up-to-date. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution?
    Thanks.

    See if the following will let you to keep Photostream on:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • HT201317 I can't get my photo stream to sinc between my computer and my IPAD

    I have turned on my icloud on my PC and my IPAD.  have photos in my photo stream folder on my PC but they don't travel to my IPAD. Why?

    When you first enable photo stream on a device you will only get photos from the last 30 days (if any), as older photo stream photos are no longer in iCloud (even though they may be on your other devices).  If you want to stream these older photos to your new phone, you can add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

  • I have iphone 5 and enabled photo streaming but its not uploading

    I have iphone 5 and enabled photo streaming but its not uploading

    Howdy harsac,
    I have a helpful article about troubleshooting Photo Stream. Named iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989.
    I would recommend this section:
    I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • What does this mean? iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons"

    Can anyone help me please? My iphone originally was linked to my PC. I downloaded over 3,000 pictures from my PC to my iphone. Since then my PC broke and now I have a macbook pro and the macbook doesn't recognize all the pictures from my pc. I get the following message.
    -iTunes cannot sync photos to the iPhone "Daniel's iPhone" because you do not have write access to the folder "iChat Icons".

    Hi,
    I picked up on this Post as I was searching for "iChat" in non iChat places.
    A Mac will contain a Folder for "iChat Icons"
    It is kept in Hard Drive/System/Library/Application Support/iChat icons
    There are about 9 sub folders here including Planets, Guitars, Feng Shui and so on.
    They are normally accessed in iChat to be your Own Buddy pic.
    They way you have phrased your posts suggests you have a folder on your phone called "iChat icons" which may have been created by the PC.
    For people who know more about iTunes than I do to help will need to know where this Folder is exactly.

    someone please help me! I just traveled to hong long and the minute I arrived something wrong was happening with my photos, I can't take any new photos because if I did they either get repeated or just be shown as grey pictures and when I try to upload one to a photo editing app it says "error cannot Load photo" and the same happens in twitter and Facebook! this has been found on for Like more than a week now, even when I want to set a picture as my profile picture in man it ends up zooming the picture way more than how I chose it in the border,, I would like to be able to take good photos again, any help?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?
