Hi,
In the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears when you do this.
Navigate to Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences
You will notice that many of the items are Aliases (to the Originals in ~/Library/Preferences).
But there are exceptions.
Delete (Drag to Trash)  the com.apple.soagent.plist and com.apple.messageshelper.AccountInfoController.plist
Restart the Mac (I have not worked out is SOAgent launches when the Mac does).
Restart Messages.
If this does not work navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
In here find and Delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
This will need a Restart of the app.
You will be asked Again for your Apple ID

  • TS3989 Photostream does not show any pictures when i log into icloud control panel on my windows 7 PC

    Phototstream is turned on on iPad Air, but 0 photos show up on my iCloud control panel.  Any suggestions?  I have installed and uninstalled several times and have added icloud and photostream to my allowed list on windows firewall.

    Are the photos in your photo stream older than 30 days?  If so they won't show up.  What worked for me was to log out of icloud on the Windows pc and log back in.  Any photos taken within 30 days and less than or equal to 1000 photos should show up.
    Photostream has a limit of 30 days or 1000 photos whichever comes first.  If you take 2000 pictures today then only the most recent 1000 will show in photo stream.  If you only have 20 picture in your photo stream and they are older than 30 days then it won't show in photo stream.

  • TS3988 where does iCloud Control Panel keep its error logs

    I have a problem with my iCloud control Panel.
    There is a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, indicating there is some sort of error, but there is absolutely no way of finding out what the error is. I have looked everywhere on my system for anything resembling  an error log for iCloud Control Panel yet i havent found a thing.
    Does anyone here know where it might be located and how i can find out what the error is to fix it

    Hi, Korgun. Your short version is a little too short and your long version much too complicated for me to be certain I understand your situation correctly, but I'll take a shot.
    Every volume (a hard drive, or a partition on a hard drive, or a CD, DVD, etc.) that has OS 9 installed on it contains an invisible Desktop Folder, and in that folder are all the items that appear on the desktop when you boot into OS 9, except your hard drive and the Trash.
    The fact that you can't boot to either OS on your old drive suggests that its directory may be damaged, in which case it wouldn't be surprising if, in addition to being unable to boot to it, you also couldn't find some things on it. If that drive mounts normally on the desktop when you boot into OS X on the other drive, use the Repair Disk function in Disk Utility (open the copy of DU on the good drive after making sure nothing is running on the bad one) to try to fix the directory on the bad drive. Run the Repair Disk routine repeatedly until you've gotten two successive "Appears OK" verdicts. Assuming DU is successful, you should then be able to double-click the Desktop folder on the repaired drive and access all the files that are on that drive's OS 9 desktop.
    If I've misunderstood your situation, my apologies, and would you please try to clarify matters?

  • ICloud Control panel installs, but says installation failed

    I installed iCloud on my PC about 5 months ago. PC is Win7 32 bit. Worked FINE ... my MS Outlook contacts were copied to my iPad perfectly.
    Noticed that in OUTLOOK, my contacts were in the cloud and NOT in Outlook anymore ... but did not care.
    Today I auto-archived Outlook, and now my connection to the Cloud is GONE.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud (2.1.1.3) ... but when I run iCloud Control Panel, and CLICK the Outlook mail and contacts button in the control panel, I get an error that says iCloud is not installed correctly ... and that I should go to Windows Program Settings and "Repair" it ... which I do ... but I get the same error over and over... even after a fresh install.
    So now my MS Outlook has ZERO contacts, and I cannot see my "me.com" email in Outlook anymore
    It WAS working great. Now it does not work at all.
    MYSTIFIED. 

    I uninstalled iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1.3 ...
    Then INSTALLED version 1.1 - found it on another board ...
    http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Appl e_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/041-3559.20120307.Kys3e/iCloudSetup.exe
    version 2 has ONE check box for Outlook that includes "mail, contacts, calendar ..."
    version 1 has SEPARATE check boxes for each item
    I suspect that when I was running v2 connected to my Outlook (and it was running FINE) ... I archived ... and this somehow broke the connection to mail, and the entire app refused to "install correctly"
    Interestingly, I could NOT successfully re-install v2, even a FRESH install! (maybe something about the icloud pst?)
    Anyway ... v1 installed easily, I selected ONLY Contacts for sync, and it worked. I am not interested in reading my iCould email inside Outlook anyway ... if I really need to see iCloud email on my pc, I can use the iCloud.com website.
    I have what I want - sync'd contacts between iPhone, iPad and Outlook.
    Now ... I am wondering WHY Apple rolled out v2 ...

  • Unable to sign into iCloud to read mail

    I keep getting message window:  "iCloud is having trouble connecting to server."  Does anybody know what the problem is?

    Hello Murray Campbell,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you do not use iCloud on your device, then you can go into your iCloud settings and then sign out.  Signing out of iCloud should stop the prompts for you to enter your iCloud password.
    On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier). 
    Note:    If you sign out of iCloud (or delete your iCloud account), iCloud no longer backs up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes. For more information, open iTunes, then choose iTunes > Help. 
    On your Mac: Open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • I am unable to sign into icloud.  When asked for my date of birth I receive a message that my dob does match Apple's records.  I don't remember setting a different password for icloud.

    Since I replaced my iPhone 4 with the 5s I have been unable to access icloud.  When asked for my password I receive the message that it is not valid.  wehn using the security questions the system does recognize my date of birth. 

    You can have the password reset sent to the email address associated with your ID, as explained in the second option here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.  If you don't have access to the email address, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • HT4759 When I sign in to the cloud I get a message saying "server error

    When I attempt to sign the cloud, I get a message that states I cannot sign in because of a server error. What to do?

    Found this solution for Windows 7 and it works for me.
    1) Click on Start
    2) Type cmd and press enter you will see a new window
    3) type "netsh winsock reset"
    4) restart the machine

  • I reset my Apple password AGAIN, but still am unable to sign into iCloud and have been frozen.

    I need to buy more storage but have been frozen out of my iCloud account as it won't accept yet another updated Apple password. I also need to update my user name as it is a former email address. Any suggestions? This is so aggravating!

    I tried the reboot, but iCloud is still not accepting my password. I'm thinking I must have a different password for iCloud but it's not accepting any that I've used or ever used. Grr! Will have to call support.
