Icloud control panel disables photostream when itunes used for backup?

So thanks to this issue (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4782118), I decided simply to use iTunes to manually backup once a day until my 90 days has "reset" (see that thread to see what I'm referring to).
However, it would appear that the iCloud control panel will no longer sync up with my photostream - is this just a coincidence or is that the norm once you choose to use iTunes for backup within iTunes, instead of iCloud? Photostream is now greyed out in the control panel...

In order to get mine working in the same situation, I had to delete both the iCloud data file and the [email protected] e-mail account. Once that was accomplished, I was able to get the iCloud installer to close Outlook and install itself correctly. Trying to recreate the accounts again from within Outlook was not the solution and resulted in this error.

Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"

I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

I meant to say when in the control panel!

TS4022 cant get icloud control panel to load correctly to use outlook 2013

Solved. Uninstall iCloud Control Panel from Windows 8 machine (use Control Panel). Restart, reinstall iControl 2.0.

Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

Hey RuiEVG,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:

Check the system requirements
Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.
iCloud Control Panel doesn't support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.

Itunes 10.6 and 10.7 crash after installing icloud control panel

I recently upgraded itunes 10.6 to 10.7 on my windows home server 2011 computer and also installed iCloud control panel 2.0. After the upgrade itunes crashes within a few seconds of starting. I can see the status bar saying that itunes is accessing the store and then the itunes window goes away. I tried removing the icloud control panel, but itunes still crashes. I completely removed itunes and all related components and then reinstalled 10.6. At this point itunes works again so I tried reinstalling the iCloud control panel and not upgrading itunes, but itunes again crashes. So, it seems that regardless of the itunes version I can't run itunes and iCloud on windows home server 2011. Any ideas on a solution?

An update to my earlier post. I just upgraded to itunes 10.7 and icontrol panel 2.0 again, but before upgrading I turned off automatic downloads in the store preferences. I was able to launch itunes and even click on the store without itunes crashing until I launched the icloud control panel and logged in. Now if I click on the store in itunes it crashes. I tried logging out of icloud, but it still crashes, but only when i click on the itunes store. The error I see in windows event viewer is below. I've seen this error referenced in other posts, but have not found a solution yet. At least itunes is partially functional now.

ICloud control panel 3.0 - Windows Vista

Hi,
do you know if the iCloud control panel 3.0 will be available for Windows Vista?
I use Google Chrome on my PC and would like to sync my bookmarks with Safari on my iPhone and iPad.
Thank you!

ICloud Control panel absolutely doesn't work

So I downloaded iCloud Control Panel on my PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and it doesn't work. It doesn't recognize that I have Microsoft Outlook, even though it's Outlook 2007, It doesn't merge the bookmarks and I can't activate Photo stream because this option on iCloud Control Panel is all grayed out. Here is a screenshot: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3097/icloude.png
So what can be blocking iCloud Control Panel? I don't use any antivirus software, so that's not a problem. I also tried to use the iCloud control panel in my sisters notebook and it works perfectly.

ICloud Control Panel 3.0 for Win8 syncs bookmarks with Safari removed

Is it true that iCloud Control Panel 3.0 no longer syncs bookmarks with Safari for Windows? According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759 Safari for Windows is no longer supported, only IE, FF and Chrome. I need a work around if this is true.

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

I don't want iCloud. How do I get iTunes to stop popping up the panel that asks me if I want to download the iCloud Control Panel? I'm using iTunes 11 on Windows Vista.

Why do you believe iTunes is causing this to occur?

I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 and never gotten that message.

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.

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?

iCloud does not support Windows XP.

Photostream to my Windows 7 computer has stopped working. When I open icloud control panel, photostream has become unchecked even though it has been previously checked. I check it again but when I click options, nothing happens. I click apply and close, but next time I open the control panel, Photostream has become unchecked again. What can I do?

Lisaglenoak:
When I first downloaded iCloud to my PC a little while back, Photo Stream initially worked. I was able to check/uncheck both boxes available to me, as well as click the Options tab to the right of Photo Stream. I could make changes, click "Apply", and everything was fine and dandy.
Within a day, I opened the iCloud Control Panel, and despite how many times I would uncheck Bookmarks, it didn't matter. I would click "Apply", and it would automatically ask me to sign in again. When I did this, Bookmarks would be checked again. Additionally, Photo Stream was grayed out; I was unable to check the box (which was unchecked), and I was unable to go to Options.
Somehow, I managed to get my iCloud Control Panel "unstuck", and currently, it is working fine. There are 2 steps that I did to accomplish this. The 1st step listed below may be the crucial element for those whose reinstallation of the program has not succeeded, in and of itself. It is a change that I haven't come across as a possible part of a solution to this problem; I just happened to stumble upon this whilst searching my PC for possible fixes to the problem.
Step 1: Find your iCloud File Folder. (On my PC, I clicked the Start button in the lower left corner, then clicked All Programs, and finally scrolled down to where all the folders for various "things" are.) Click the Folder and a sub-list will appear, with items such as Calendar, Mail, etc. Right-Click the iCloud Program icon, and at the bottom of the list that appears, click on Properties. At the top, there are 5 tabs. Click the Compatibility tab, and you should see, at the top, the following words: "If you have problems with this program and it worked correctly on an earlier version of Windows, select the compatibility mode that matches that earlier version." Following these words is a dropbox underneath "Compatibility Mode", and for some reason - I have no idea why this is - the box was initially checked to run the program in compatibility mode for "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". (And from what I understand, Windows XP is not a compatible Windows Edition for iCloud, so I have no idea why this box was checked.) If the box underneath "Compatibility Mode" is checked, than it is running iCloud in compatibility mode for any number of earlier Windows' Editions. Uncheck this box, click the "Apply" button, and then click "OK".
Step 2: Find your PC's Control Panel. (On my PC, I clicked the Start button in the lower left corner, and then clicked Control Panel in the list to the right.) In the Control Panel, click Programs. Under Programs and Features, Click "Uninstall a program" (and bear with me here, because you are actually not going to uninstall iCloud). Now, scroll down the list and find "iCloud". Double-click the "iCloud" icon, and a panel with 2 options should appear: "Repair" and "Remove". Check the "Repair" box, which will reinstall the same iCloud Control Panel, replacing missing or damaged files. ("Remove" will just .. well ... remove iCloud from the computer - or, if you prefer, uninstall the program.) Click Next, and the repairing process will begin and end. And that is it - you're done. Task Completed.
Well, in the end, this worked for me. Photo Stream was no longer grayed out. I could permanently uncheck Bookmarks (finally). The Options tab for Photo Stream would open. Anytime that I clicked the "Apply" button after checking/unchecking boxes, it wouldn't ask me to sign in again (only to come back to a Control Panel that looked just like it did before I made any changes to it.). And, I created a Shared Photo Stream on my phone using photos from my Camera Roll (to test the program), and the Shared Photo Stream appeared on my PC's Photo Stream in no time. Hopefully, this will work for you too (regardless of the Windows Edition you are currently using). ~ Brian

TS4403 My Photo stream folder is empty on my PC (using iCloud Control Panel)

I am using iCloud Control Panel on a Windows 7 PC and my IPod touch (4th gen. running iOS 6.0.1) has photo stream enabled and is connected to wifi. I have the control panel set to auto-sync my photo streams, and when I open the folder on my PC I can view all shared photo streams--those shared originated by myself and by others. However, the folder for my photo stream (those not shared) is completely empty. Yet the pictures display in my photo stream on my ipod just fine.
I'm trying to sell the ipod (and currently have not other iOS devices). I would like to secure all of my photos before wiping the device.

I had the same problem with iCloud 2.0. There is another thread which posted a link to a previous version iCloud (v.1.1). I downloaded it, uninstalled v2.0 and I have my Photos syncing to my PC again. I am sure the iCloud version I installed will not support some of the new features in IOS 6 for Photostream, but I am not using them at the moment. So I will can wait until Apple issues version 2.1 of iCloud to fix these problems.
As a side from note, I was able to "check" the check box after several attemps. However, when going into the Photostream library in explorer, Explorer would subsequently crash on me. Hope it gets fixed soon.
