HT4906 In iCloud system preferences why am I not able to select iPhoto Streams?

When I go to turn on Iphoto stream in iCloud system preferences on my MacBook Pro I am not able to select the iPhoto Stream option, and it is the only option that seems to me made unavailable to me.
How do I fix this so my iPhone photos start streaming to my MacBook???

What version of iPhoto are your running?  Do you have Photo Stream enabled in iPhoto?
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane aand log back in.

  • 'System Preferences' gets hanged. Not able to change any settings.

    I'm not able to change my wallpaper. Main issue is as soon as I open 'System Preferences', the window opens but I'm not able to click on anything. Not able to change any settings. Tried restarting but no help.
    Please help.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Why am I not able to select just one line on certain pages of Adobe reader?

    I can select and highlight just one line on most pages of a PDF in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 on a Mac OS X, but for some reason there are a few pages which make me select three or four lines. Why is this?

    1.  Was Lion on the machine and trying to downgrade?
    2.  If so this might be an issue.  Newer machines are done for current OSX.
    3.  If you have Lion on your machine try to install Snow Leopard on another partition or portable HD
    4.  After you format and install SL on the other partition or drive Try to boot from this machine retarting and holding the Option key at boot up.
    5.  See if that work. 
    This is a trial and error way but Mountain Lion is right around the corner and Snow Leopard is 2+ yrs old.

  • ICloud system preferences won't let me log in

    I recently changed my apple ID password and now I can't log in to the icloud system preferences on my iMac or the App Store on my iMac. Everything else is fine with the new password; icloud.com, itunes, ipad, iphone, MacBook Air. Have tried creating a new user account but get the same messages which vary from "unrecognized user or password" to "problem communicating with icloud, try again later."
    Thanks for any help.

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button).
    Similarly, you can sign out of the Mac App Store using the sign out option from the store menu.

    Go to the System/iCloud preference pane on your Mac and make sure all of the items you want to sync/sharte are checked:
    If you can't check those boxes or you did and they didn't work, sign out of the account and then back in again.

  • Am I going to duplicate Contacts by checking Contacts in iCloud System Preferences?

    I moved MobileMe to iCloud last night. At iCloud.com all my contacts are there but they are not syncing. On my Mac, the Contacts box is not checked in iCloud System Preferences. If I check this, am I going to get duplicates of my Contacts, since they are already in Contacts on iCloud.com? If so, can I avoid this somehow?

    It will ask if you want to merge them and you should be OK.
    If you want to be doubley sure, you might want to select all the contacts (select the first and shift click the last and drag them to your desktop as back up and then delete them from address book before ticking the box and merging.

  • ICloud system preference pane

    MacBook OS 10.7.4. The iCloud system preference pane does not open to the settings options - it directs me to Find my iPhone. Settings appear as expected on my iPhone.  My iCloud account is available on iCloud.com. Any suggestions?

    I'm not really sure what it is that you are asking, but in case it is relevant, you cannot access iCloud.com from an iOS device. Any iCloud data you wish to access on an iOS device, should be accessed through the appropriate app, such as calendar, contacts etc.

  • In Icloud I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

    In Icloud on my imac I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

    You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
    It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.

  • The System Preference:Desktop&Screensaver will not open. I get a rotating circle that never stop rotating. I have to do a Force Stop.

    The System Preference:Desktop&Screensaver will not open. I get a rotating circle that never stop rotating. I have to do a Force Stop.

    Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following item to the Desktop:
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

  • How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working  somehow the option were unchecked

    How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working? 
    Somehow the first couple of trackpad functions were unchecked and since they are not operational I can't click or tap to turn them back on.
    I've tried shutting down and restarting and holding my hand on the trackpad for 3-4 sec. then sliding it off (another post had this suggestions).
    I don't use the function keys at all to navigate the computer so I am at a total loss if the trackpad does not work.

    Thanks for the response.
    Unfortunately this did not work - the tap to click is still not checked - and the tap function does not work.
    I did try it twice - and even used a stopwatch to be sure I got the time right.
    I noticed there is also an instruction to reset PRAM (was with the SMC reset instructions).  Is that something that may help?

    Hello shreejith786
    The iPhone does not transfer music and videos via Bluetooth. To move content from one iPhone to another, you will need iTunes or iCloud handle that. If you have purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can download them directly. The articles below will assist with getting your media to your other iPhone.
