HT201317 what if my windows computer is not showing me the option to set up my icloud and photo stream, what do i do??
how do i fix this??
Only the previous owner can help you. They either need to provide you with the ID and password to delete the existing account, or erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. If they aren't willing to do that, return it and ask for your money back.

i lost my iphone and had it backed up to icloud and photo stream but i never plugged it into a computer since i had set up photo stream. is there a way to login to any mac device to view my photos or anything?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost. -
I'm setting up Apple IDs, and its not giving me the option to set up a rescue email. I've set up Apple ID's in the past, and its always given me the option. How can I add a rescue email?
You can find the instructions here. I removed the screenshots but the text is copied below.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field. -

I updated my computer from Snow Leopard to Lion. The problem is none of my pictures go to my IPad or iPhone. When I checked my settings, I go into ICloud and photo Stream, and it tells me that I need to buy a update. Any help would be appreciated.
Then maybe you need to buy an update.

My computer is NOT allowing me the option to uninstall InboxAce
A little while back I allowed a program to install InboxAce on my computer. The toolbar is now showing on Mozilla Firefox, and I believe this is the program that crashed my computer today, though Inbox Ace was not in use when my computer crashed. I have no need for this program and would like to uninstall it. However, when I go to the control panel and select "Uninstall a Program," my computer does not list this program for me to uninstall. I have also tried removing mywebsearch.com, but this also does not appear to be anywhere on my computer. Additionally, I have no plugins for this program listed either. Inbox Ace has a toolbar on the right with an option to uninstall, but that option is not working. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Quick tip: when you want to remove a program which you can't find in Add / Remove Programs, do a search for '''remove ''that program or malware name'' '''
Like '''remove InboxAce''' - [https://www.google.com/search?q=remove+InboxAce&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8num=100&gws_rd=ssl Google search for remove InboxAce]
First result is http://malwaretips.com/blogs/inboxace-toolbar-removal/

When I start up my additional user accounts do not show so I can log onto them. The same thing happens when I log out as the system admin. How do I get to the additional accounts that I have set up on my imac so I can log in under them. Thanks
There is zero advantage to partitioning a HD for the purpose you have described. I recommend that you take your machine to an AASP, describe the problem and they will help you get it back working. Partitioning a HD is a 1990's approach and is of no value what-so-ever unless you installing multiple operating systems on the HD. In that case it would be valuable.
Good luck. -
I have had icloud on my iphone 4 for a while have all my photos in photo stream i just now have windows 8 on my new laptop set up icloud and now i have no idea how to transfer my photo stream photos to my laptop or itunes all with same account
You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5. I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other. What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc. What is the procedure and step by step action? The new phone arrives - then what?
When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

Just like I noticed another person had an issue with, after updating my phone, which took a full day, I not longer have the camera or photos. I have tried turning off n turning back on my phone and that doesn't do anything. My fiancé has the same phone and his update with smoothly in about 2 hours and has his camera and everything still there. With his update going perfectly I figured mine would to and didn't save my photos to my Skydrive. I have a 6 month old son and all my photos of him since birth are gone. Is there any way to get the camera and photos back on there.?
My camera icon is gone. The photos/ gallery button/folder is gone. When I go to text somebody and click to add an attachment the picture option is there but then when I press it nothing happens. When I press the bottom side button that used to go to the camera- that doesn't do anything.
Yes, I do have an SD card -
HT5312 Why does my device not show me the option to reset my security questions
My I pod 5 will not let me purchase anything without my security questions but I forgot them. When looking to restore them I was not given the option to reset my questions. What do I do???....
1. Because you haven't previously set up a rescue email address. Doing so now requires correctly answering two of the questions.
2. Go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section. If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, you can't reset the questions yourself, and nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

Voice mail does not give me the option to set it up?
When I touch the voicemail icon it dials directly to the voice mail. There is no option to setup greeting or use speaker or delete or replay...
Yes. It is active and I am receiving messages. The thing is that when I touch the phone icon and then the voicemail icon it does not show the Voicemail screen where I can change the greeting or choose to listen by speaker or call back button option or delete button option..... It just calls the voicemail box directly.
