HT201317 what is the icloud control panel and where do i find it

i just swaped my ipad to a refurbished one and i can not get my photos back on my ipad 2

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

HT201317 I am trying to upload photos from my Windows 7 machine, and I was told to drag them into the photo stream in the iCloud control panel. I have downloaded the control panel several times, but cannot find the place to upload the photos from my Windo

I am trying to upload photos from my Windows 7 desktop, and was told to go to the iCloud control panel and drag the photos into the

If you're trying to add photos to photo stream on your PC, you drag them to your photo stream uploads folder (normally My Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads).

HT201317 I use a windows PC with XP Proffessional. I installed iCloud on my PC. when i open the iCloud control panel the photo stream tab is grey.

Hi I use a windows PC with XP Professional. I installed iloud on my PC s per the instructions from the Apple website.
In the iCloud control panel all the selections are available but the Photo stream selection is grey. This means i cannot sellect photo stream.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Amish,
I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

How do i remove the settings and preferences of the iCloud Control Panel?

I had problems with my Office 365 (Outlook 2013) and making it work with iCloud. I repaired the install of my office 2013, but the iCloud Control Panel keeps giving me an error as it thinks the icloud integration for Outlook 2013 is still installed....which it isnt.
I cannot revert to the setting i had with only Photostream active.
The only solution was to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel. I tried deleting some files from users->roaming->apple, which looked like preference files. But after reinstalling iCloud Control Panel, it immediately opened the old setting which it remembered somehow and uninstalling didnt deletet, stating the faulty Office connection is active...which it isnt.
Pity i cant even now use photostream, to have my images on my desktop. I know i should buy a mac..where you can jus simply delete preference files from the user library. But does anyone know how to really delete every install history of the iCloud Control Panel on a pc. So i can do a clean install and start using photostream again
Any help is much appreciated

thank you for taking the time to reply to my issue. was there something i did that caused this to happen and if so, can i undo it? a second problem has now surfaced; i cannot get my firefox to load. i tried the suggestion in an article on this site i.e., to bring up the Task Manager and end the process for firefox.exe so i can uninstall/reinstall the firefox application. this does not work for me. HELP! i'd much rather use firefox than explorer.

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

How can I Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder

I apparently moved or deleted my iCloud folder and keep getting this message Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder. How do I do this?

I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.
Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.

I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

Problem with Office 2007 whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

Sadly I have a Win7 laptop as my work hack and am using Office 2007. Outside of work I use iCloud to sync calenders between various iOS/OS X devices however whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows Plugin my email no longer loads. Outlook starts fine and just sits there with an empty inbox waiting for mail to load. I can't even open the iCloud Panel from within Control Panel either to set preferences!
Unistalling the iCloud plug-in resolves this but I really want to sync my iCloud calender with Outlook and can't see any other way to do it, plus it worked before and then just stopped.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I tired everything that was suggested in the forum. Tried IE and firefox to no avail. When I tried computers in stores both worked. A friend of mine who has the 32 bit setup got it to work. Several folks have stated it is the compatability issue with 64 bit. As a last resort, I loaded safari on my home computer, and yep, it works. Go figure, apple product.

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.

Is there a way to protect the iCloud control panel access with a password in Windows 7?

I have MS Outlook sync'd with my iCloud services in my Windows7 office PC (I'm pushing for Macs, but quite there yet, unfortunately!), and I have it password protected so nobody else can access my files. However, the iCloud app in Control Panel doesn't have any password protection so it can be messed with at any moment. Is there any way to protect it, or are there any plans to include this feature in future updates?

Same here, I use iCloud on an office PC.
I would like to password protect the access to the iCloud Control Panel. Is there a way to do that? I can either "Sign in" or "Sign Out."
if I sign out I can't add iCloud calendar to Outlook. If I stay signed in, IT could easily activate my personal iCloud mail.
Ideally, there should be a checkbox to just add calendar and leave mail, contacts and task out all together.
Thanks.
