Icloud photostream checkbox disabled

The photostream checkbox is disabled when I open icloud from my PC control panel -- I am unable to check the box.  How do I enable the checkbox so as to use photostream on my PC.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Edition.  I have the latest updates and most recent version of iTunes (if that is applicable).  Please offer a solution.
Thanks!

I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel and reinstalling it. Works fine 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.

  • How can i use one iCloud Photostream on 2 devices?

    Due to a bug (or feature) on iOS 8 i can't use the same icloud id on 2 iphones:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6536998
    So how can i use ONE iCloud Photostream then on 2 devices?
    Also, on OSX i can define only one Photostream.
    So, how do you import pictures from 2 streams into iPhoto?
    Familyshare is not usefull as the pictures are not in Original-Filesize!

    Yes. " iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.  iPad Air 2  or  iPad mini 3"

  • HT201317 My photos are syncing from my iPhone, to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but it is no longer syncing to my computer (Microsoft, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?

    My photos are syncing from my iPhone to the iCloud PhotoStream and to our iPad, but they are no longer syncing to our home computer (Microsoft operating system, not Apple).   Why would this happen and how can I get it resolved?  I have since tried to remove and reinstall the iCloud application in my computer's control panel.  I have verified that I am using the latest Apple operating system and the latest iTunes.  I have reset my photo stream.  Not sure what else to try...   I was also having an issue with my calendar where it would sync from my computer to my iPhone but not vice versa.  Somehow in all the resetting that's resolved, but the photo issue is not.   Again - photos are going into the photostream, but not wirelessly being put into the file on my computer.

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

  • Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

    Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

    Yeah no kidding.
    I have a big paid up MobileMe account with tons of gallery stuff - this will all go away for me in July, and I'll miss it - it took no learning to use, and it was built into everything - just intuitive to post to a gallery password protect it, and send a link to a friend.  Click click done!
    It bothers me a lot when features I really enjoy and use are pulled in these half baked new apps and services.
    iMovie used to be quite good, but the new one is very restrictive - it's a step backwards in some ways.
    MobileMe was fine, but iCloud takes away the Gallery???? - another step backward.
    We use some iPhones at work for shooting some videos and technical engineering photo's, and while it's pretty cool that the iPhone photo's get put on the photostream of "Jason's iMac", I don't have instant access, and I would really like to be able to do that. If it could be done, then I can stay at home and work sometimes and I can get the photo's automagically.  
    Apple - please fix this.

  • I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

    Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

    Hi newmarket,
    Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
    iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
    If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
    Sorry,

  • ICloud Photostream Mac vs PC

    So, in setting up iCloud Photostream synchronization on my Mac and PC, Mac requires iPhoto to sync.  My ultimate goal is to auto-download the pictures that I take on my iPhone without intervention.  On the PC, my photos automatically download to a folder of my choosing.  However, on my Mac the photos will not synchronize unless I open iPhoto.  Is there a work around (or setting that I'm overlooking) to auto-download my photos into iPhoto without opening the application everytime?
    Thanks

    Thanks, Winston. 
    The PC iCloud application runs as a service in the system tray and either downloads the pictures at an interval or at start up.  This would be preferred functionality through Mac as well.  I find it shocking that Apple would not allow some sort of scheduled download for PhotoStream.
    Here is the link that explains the applications and setup I am running...

  • Icloud photostream share not showing all pictures

    I made an icloud photostream share for my parents with some fotos. On iPhoto I can't see all the photos inside. On my iphone, istead, I do see all photos, the same happens on the web, i can see all photos there, too.
    how can I force iphoto to sync the shared photostream album? thanks

    Hi, thank you for your reply. I tried to do so already, and it still don't work. It only get worse.
    here is what happened:
    1) i created a share on photostream/icloud and added 3 persons to it.
    2) i added 3 photos: A1.jpg, A2.jpg and A3.jpg
    3) I made changes to my apple ID, so I had to disconect iphoto from icloud and reconnect it
    4) my new photostream album don't show A1, A2 and A3, but says 3 persons have acces to it. I can see A1, A2 and A3 via web and on my iphone.
    5) I added B1.jpg and B2.jpg via iphoto
    6) On iphoto, i can only see B1 and B2
    7) via web and on iphone i can see the A* and B* photos.
    8) disconnected icloud and connected once more
    9) my shared folder now shows no photos on iphoto, same as point 4
    10) added C1 and C2.jpg
    11) same problem, I can only see C1 and C2 on my iphoto, but all of the photos via web or iphone.
    My standard photostream is not affected, only a photostream folder I shared with my friends, and only on my iphoto.
    any other clues?
    thanks

  • html:checkbox disabling based on a condition

    does anyone know how to disable the <html:checkbox ?? it should be disabled based on some condition
    thanks

    It is very unclear what you want. There is a disabled flag available to html:checkbox. You could do something like:
    <html:checkbox disabled="<%= somebooleanVar %>" ...and so on. What are you trying to do?

  • ICloud Photostream not working with Windows 7 or 8.1

    Since iOS8 came out, my Windows PC's have not been working with the iCloud Photostream. I have gone through 4.0 - 4.0.2 now, with no success. I have tried all the supposed fixes. My MAC works fine updating, but not any of my PC's. I just can't make the Photostream update as it used to. The idea was to Sync all pictures from my iPhone across all devices, not just the Apple ones. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    This has been driving me nuts for several months now and no one seems to have an answer.

  • How can I change the viewer settings when I publish an Aperture gallery to my iCloud Photostream ?.

    I used to rely on MobileMe to share photo galleries with clients and it worked great, but now with the iCloud, I can create a public album on my iCloud - PhotoStream (that does not need an Apple ID to access) but it seems to be limited to just an asymetrical mosaic viewer interface that does not offer any titles or original exposure titles. One,- it looks more like an artsy vacation photo gallery than something a client could easily compare similar photos and Two , there are no identifiers that the client could use to relate his or her photo choice. It would also be helpful to add notes which I beleive is only possible on a non-public album. I would appreciate any tips,  thank you

    Don't know about Aperture, but...
    If you're adding the photos from iPhoto on your Mac put the photos in an album and arrange them in the order you want. Use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Set: Date menu option to give all of the photos the same date but with a 1 minute interval.
    Add them to the Photo Stream and they should remain in the order you want.

  • HT201317 where can I find my iCloud photostream online?

    where can I find my iCloud photostream online?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately, you can only see online the photos sent with Shared Photo Stream to other contacts, from http://www.icloud.com
    Respecting to Photo Stream, you can't see them on http://www.icloud.com. To access to your Photo Stream photos, you need an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iOS 5 or later; a Mac with iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3, and OS X 10.7.2 or later; or a PC with iCloud Control Panel installed
