IPhoto thinks I'm not logged into iCloud - photostream won't work

I want to turn on photostream so my iPhone pix will go over my wifi into my Macbook, but when I try to start photostream in iPhoto it says I have to login to iCloud and it takes me to the Macbook's System Preferences, where it shows that I already am logged in. It's like iPhoto can't 'see' that I'm already logged in.
Any ideas?

I'm using:
Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Retina Macbook Pro
iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1
iPhoto 9.4.1
Fios wifi at home

Try logging out of iCloud in the System preferences and then log back in. Go to iPhoto and and do the same for Photo Stream.

I can not log into iCloud

Please help - I've upgraded to ML 10.8 (and also 10.8.1) and i can not log into icloud.
I get an error saying "You can not log in at this time". I have no hair left on my head because I've pulled it all out!
Now, there are many published fixes for this, but NONE work. I've tried everything I can find:
Yes, I have an AU and US apple ID, and both dont work
I installed ML from a fresh disk wipe + install. No baggage from previous OS's.
Everything is standard, no tricky fixes or apps
No Little snitch installed
Have deleted the ~/Library/App Support/iCloud folder
Have deleted any preference files
Have opened up the permissions on the ~/Library/Caches/iCloud folder
Have reset keychain
Have deleted all references of any @me or @apple accounts
Have re-installed the ML OS from a DIFFERENT bootable USB stick
No proxies, SOCKS, or mods to network
Plain old home WIFI network, never had a problem
Have icloud successfully set up at work (QC 2.8GHZ Mac Pro 2010), on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro - Zero issues
The mac having problems is a 2008 iMac, Core2Duo 2.8ghz Intel w 4gb 1067mhz ram) - Runs well, use for design.
Is it a problem with the iCloudHelper process not having sufficient permission to write to the iCloud user DB? or the Accounts folder?
Have looked into console, and when I try and log into iCloud, I get these three errors. Same every time, no matter which apple ID account you use:
1: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) AOSKC ([email protected]): Failed to store key, couldn't add kc item, error 100013 (service=iCloud, dsid=146089737)
2: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) AOSKC ([email protected]): Failed to store account info key (dsid=146089737).
3: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) Failed to store account info for appleID=[email protected]
Please help! Is this an incompatibiloty with the iMac problem, or a ML problem?
Much appreciated
Rick

Where EXACTLY are you trying to log in to it?
Through your web browser at iCloud.com?
Or through the iCloud system preferences pane on your Mac?

HT201263 Bought second hand iPhone not realising logged into iCloud, Please help me remedy this problem?

Hi there good people, I recently purchased an iPhone 4 from a sales site on Facebook, I checked to see that the phone was not signed in to App Store/iTunes but didn't occur to me that it could still be logged into iCloud (Which it is) as I thought you could only use 1 Apple ID per handset at any given time. 3 months have passed and all was fine, until today when I dropped the phone and now a box pops up wanting iCloud password every 5 Seconds after I've cancelled the last one. I got in contact with the guy I bought it from but as three months have passed he says he can't remember the password he used and was not able to log out of iCloud because of this. (plus he's switched to Android) I took the phone to my local phone repair shop and they told me there is nothing can be done without the account password, my question is: Will the "Recovery Mode" trick work with this problem? I'm sorry but I simply refuse to believe that there is no solution or way round this... I know Apple are very tight on security but what would I have done if this was a brand new iPhone 6 instead, would I simply accept that I was the proud owner of an extremely expensive house brick? I welcome any advice that might help me to reset the damned phone... Thanking you in advance for your time and effort. Daniel Grant.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance
from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to
unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through
iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

HT5625 I reset my password, but it still won't let me log into iCloud. I have not ever been able to sign up for it, I don't have the original email to do so. Please help.

I have not been able to log into icloud, nor set it up. It keeps telling me to check my email to set up. There is nothing from apple/icloud there. How do I get another email so I can set it up? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Please check your inbox again and also the spam/junk folder.

I'm trying to verify my apple id but when i log into icloud to get the email it says 'the apple id has not been verifed.' So how do i verify my account if it wont let me log into to icloud mail?

You have to respond to the verification email that Apple should have sent to you by clicking the Verify Now link. Make sure you check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. This would not normally be an @icloud.com email address. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

I can't access iCloud, i keep getting a message to try again later. This is the first time i have tried to log into icloud. I know my account is working, i want to access it from my macbook. I think its looking for my old icloud email, what to do?

HT204053 I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password. I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." How do I fix this?

You are getting this message because you are attempting 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 (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

Unable to log into iCloud because old email pops up requesting password. Password not working and unable to receive reset

I changed the main email on my Appleid a few months back. Everything worked fine until uppgrading to iOS7 on my phone. I am now unable to log into iCloud because the old email pops up and requesting password which is not working. I cannot rest the password because my old email is unvalid as I have changed network provider. The id works fine on Appstore and iTunes so its only iCloud that making trouble.
Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

I'm also experiencing the same issue.
I've had to reset my password 3 times in the last 3 days.
At first, I couldn't get my email. I sweated it out for 12 hours, reset my password and I was good to go again. 48 hours later, I ran into the same issue. Only problem is, not only do I get the 'Incorrect username or password' on my device, but my iCloud.com login no longer works. so now I can't read my messages on the web OR on my device/computer.
I have went to appleid.apple.com and reset my password there: no luck.
I have reset the settings on my device: no luck.
I have Erase and Installed iOS 6.1.2: no luck.
I have restored my device back to factory settings: no luck.
I have performed a DFU restore: no luck.
This is my main account for, well everything.

HT4623 Downloaded new IOS, but it will not allow me to log into iCloud, no matter how many times I reset my password. Please help.

I downloaded the new IOS, but it will not allow me to log into iCloud. I even tried resetting my password, but it does not recognize me. Please help. Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. I went through the apple website to reset my password, and it was no problem, even let me update my email address and apple id, but my iphone is still not accepting what I know the password is, so I can't delete it, or change the apple id information.

TS3988 Each time I log into iCloud, I check, Keep me logged in, but this does not work. I have to reenter user name etc each time I try to go back to my iCloud account.

Hi,
In Keychain Access app in the Menu for the App is Keychain First Aid.
If you open this is the tick box for Synchronising the Login password with the so called Login Keychain ticked ?

My Apple TV 6.1.1 is logged into iCloud but says it's not when I try to log into using Photo Stream as my screen saver. Any ideas?

When I select Photo Stream as my screen saver, it prompts me for the password. Despite the password working for logging into iCloud and iTunes Music Store, it always says it's incorrect for Photo Stream. Help!

Eric,
None of this has worked.
My Apple ID and password work with everything else. I have a good Internet connection. No Firewall active from my IMac.
LIke I said, I haven't installed anything recently and FaceTime ver. 1.0.5 on OS X 10.6.8 was working fine prior to yesterday.
I restarted my IMac to run Mavericks and FaceTime 3.0 under OS X 10.9.4 is working and I was able to login and use FaceTime on Mavericks with no problem.
For some unknown reason FaceTime on IOS and on my Mac were asking me to login into FaceTime when I haven't had to do this for quite sometime.
Older FaceTime 1.0.5 all of a sudden has decided to be a problem with login on my IMac under Snow Leopard.
The only thing left I am going to try is the two-step Apple ID verification process where I can use a app specific password, but Apple makes you wait three days before completing the two-step verification.
If this doesn't work, then I do not know what will solve this issue and now I made my Apple ID login process more complicated than I really wanted it to be.
I purposely stayed away from using the two-step ID verification login.

HT201317 I recently lost my iphone and I know I had set up Photo Stream on my iphone, but I logged into icloud today and realized that I had not set it up on my computer. If I set it up now, will the historical photos stored on the phone appear?

That is if email you r talking about was icloud mail. Go to www.icloud.com and sign in - you will see your emails.

Why will all the phone numbers on my phone not show up when I log into iCloud on my computer?
