Icloud control panel Windows XP

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to connect my iPhone 4s to iCloud through my Windows XP computer?  What I find at Apple is a control panel for Windows Vista or Windows 7, which I do NOT have.  I want to download/upload pictures using PhotoStream.

Uniquer2, Just want to give you a huge thanks as people like you make communities slay alive. You made it possible to run it on win xp. thanks!!  I did you last suggestion but only downloaded the 32 bit versions of the files, ran the icloud.msi and everything is working! THANKS!!
DOOOHHHHH!!!!  I didn't realize it only syncs with Outlook 2007. I am still on 2003, I am poor. Wonder what I can find out there from FOSS which is like Microsoft Outlook. Thunderbird? Maybe there is a way to sync it somehow with my Gmail online? Who knows, just want to make sure I have my 2,000+ contacts backup'd up in multiple places as a fail safe. Been collecting em since I got a Palm Pilot back in 1997!! Everything is still with me, LOL. (It was a biiiatt****  going from Palm Sync to Outlook let me tell you, then into iPhone BUT well worth it.)

  • Undoing iCloud Control Panel Windows XP Workaround

    At least 3 sites discuss the same procedure to to make iCloud Control Panel for WIndows run under Windows XP.
    I followed the directions and discovered that the resulting code didn't work for wireless printing from iPad to my Brother HL5370DW printer. It crashes the printer, which must be shut down and restarted.
    How can I back track and remove the changes made to iCloud.msi making it a modified iCloud?
    Changes made:  VersionNT>=600 changed to VersionNT>=200.
    Rerunning iCloud.msi did not produce table with VersionNT and its value 200. Instead it shows VersionNT and in the next column 'VersionNT not supported'.
    Help appreciated

  • Icloud control panel (windows PC) won't log in

    Hi,
    I am trying to log into the iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC.  I always get an error that says "You can't sign in because of a sever error".  How do I find out what that error is and why it won't log in? 
    (BTW, I am going to the control panel so I can figure out how to change the photostream, which appears to be interfering with Windows Live Photo Gallery.  My PC always shows an "I" drive under Computer>Other, which is labelled the Photostream System Folder).
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Here we are in 2014 and they still havent resolved the issue .. not impressing at all ... **** poor deisgn ... think these geeks wouild have figured it out by now

  • Photostream checkbox not available in iCloud control panel: Windows 7 PC, 64 bit

    Photostream checkbox in iCloud control panel is not available to be checked. I've uninstalled & reinstalled maybe 4-5x now. Also tried switching from Chrome to Explorer 9 for downloading to see if that might help. Also have deleted everything Apple on my PC, & started from scratch. The very odd thing is, it used to work just fine. At some point within the last 2-3 months, there must have been an update that was installed, and I can no longer access the checkbox on photostream.Tech help could not figure out a solution either.

    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:

  • Icloud control panel windows 2.0 - selective sync?

    Does anybody know if it's possible to only sync iCloud Contacts into Outlook, and not contact, calendar and mail. I specifically only want to sync contacts wiht Outlook, this way my contacts are all stored in the cloud, but available in Outlook and my iPhone. I don't want mail and calendar syncing to my work laptop. This used to be possible with icloud control panel 1.x but now with 2.0 it's all or nothing sync. Really *****!

    I was also disappointed by the "all or nothing" approach, but there is a sort-of workaround: when you install ICP 2.0, it asks whether you want to merge "all things" or "some things" to the cloud. You choose "some" and then you get a list of contacts/calendar/tasks. Uncheck the calendar box. Then the iCloud calendar appears empty in Outlook, and your contacts will still sync.
    But beware there is a bug in ICP 2.0 which makes it difficult to send mail. See this other thread about that:

  • I am trying to download icloud control panel via icloudsetup.exe to windows Toshiba laptop and get a message" \icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Can anyone help? I am new to Apple stuff.

    Need help for icloud photo stream, have activated ps on iphone 4 and set up icloud back up for email, contacts, iwork, and find my ihone. Need to find photos that we thought were being saved/shared as well but evidently not. Found on another search that I may need the icloud control panel so tried to download it but when try to install i get, C:\Users\Downloads\icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I am using a Toshiba laptop with windows 7, which the system requirements are met. I am new to Apple stuff, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    It suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Can't share photos using shared Photo Stream with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

    BACKSTORY: My friend took pictures of my family. I want to see the pictures he took. We live about 2.5 hours apart by car. Gas prices are too high for me to just drive down with an external hard drive to get the pictures and I might as well throw my money out the window if I were to ship him a hard drive and he ship it back. SO. I ask him if he would share photos with me and he quickly agreed. He added me to a Photo Stream  he has. ok cool. I recieve the invitation email just fine but this is the error I get when I click on the link:
    ERROR MESSAGE:
    Photo Stream
    Follow these steps to join a shared photo stream
    1.Make sure you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 6 or a Mac running OS X 10.8.2 withiPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later installed.
    2. Sign in to iCloud on your devices.
    3. Open the invitation email on an updated device and tap the Join this Photo Stream button. 
    WHAT I NEED:
    How can I view shared photo streams using iCloud Windows control panel 2.1.2.0? How can I work around this error message? I don't own any of these products that apple wants me to own in order to view these photos! I don't have the cash to go out and purchase them. What can I do to get "my" photos? Do I have to be signed into my friends apple id to see the shared photos?
    What I've tried:
    I already have the icloud control panel installed and updated to the latest version.
    I'm signed into iCloud on the control panel. (no apple id password issues)
    I have photo stream checked.
    I have my photo stream checked
    I have shared photo stream checked.
    I have tried copying and pasting the link into the address bars of Safari for Windows, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,  and Firefox respectively and pressing enter to load. all present the same error message.
    I visited iCloud.com to see if there was anywhere to access the shared photo stream there... No option exisits
    Checked my photo stream folder in windows explorer. it's completely empty. I haven't put any of my own photos there so nothings missing per se... I just can't see my friends shared photos.
    MY SET UP:
    Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    4gb of RAM
    iCloud control panel version 2.1.2.0
    I don't own any version of Outlook, (if that matters. I doubt that it matters at all in this case.)
    I don't have any iOS Devices or a mac capable of 10.8. My MacBook is stuck at 10.6.8. It's a late mid 2008 just before the aluminum unibody computers came out. If I had only waited another month... sigh. Murphy's Law is alive and well.
    any sugestions, especially correct answers, are welcome. please help me figure this out. Thanks in advance.

    Hello desert_dweller5,
    It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
    Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article: 
    Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
    Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
    To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

  • Solution to iCloud control panel 4 sign-in server error under windows 8.1x64

    Potential solution for icloud 3.1 and 4.0 installation and iTune store sign-in, all showing errors or sign-in errors due to server error.
    My setup is Iphone 4S upgraded to ios8, ipad Air still on 7.1.2, windows PC on Win8.1x64 and with icloud 3.1 working fine till I tried to
    upgrade/install/re-install 4.0 icloud control panel after upgrade to ios8. See end of message for other alternatives I had tried.
    This worked for me.
    There seem to be some programmes that is conflicting with Apple's, so download this free program autoruns suggested by Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Run the program and choose the the "Winsock Providers", any other programme that shows up here except Bonjour (which is used by Apple) may be conflicting with the sign-in.
    Uninstall those potentially conflicting programs
    Inside autoruns->Winsock Provider, right click on the conflicting programs and choose delete. This would stop the conflicting program to start up
    again. Reboot the computer
    Install icloud control panel, sign in
    If works, reinstall those conflicting programs again and all back to normal, with iCloud control panel working
    If doesn't work, my mojo not strong enough and you need to google for more help.
    Other activities I googled, tried and failed
    a) Adding Apple icloud program and services into the windows firewall
    b) Uninstall version 4.0, re-install 3.1 (about 10 times)
    c) create a new Apple ID to sign in
    d) Sign out of icloud from my devices (iphone and ipad)
    e) switch to Android devices

    You need to edit the MSI installer and change the Launch Condition to allow iCloud Control Panel 3.1 to be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    First, download Orca, an MSI editor. You can get it from the Windows SDK. (Download and only check the box for "Development Tools" under Native components during installation, then go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin and install Orca.msi)
    Launch Orca and then find the iCloud(64).msi to edit.
    If using Apple Software Update, browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update and open iCloud(64).msi in Orca.
    Or download iCloudSetup.exe and use a zip program (7-zip) to extract the MSI from the exe and open it in Orca.
    In Orca, select the LaunchCondition table and look for the condition "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 1)". Change the number 1 to a number 3 so the condition should read "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 3)". Save and exit Orca.
    Then double click on the msi and it should install successfully now.
