My Photo Stream keeps turning off in my iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC.

I have an HP Pavilion g6 and it runs on Windows 7. iCloud is already set up on it, as well as on my iPhone, but when I go to use the computer, I find the Photo Stream turned off (I am still logged into iCloud Control Panel.)

No, I am not trying to use them both at the same time with Photo Stream. I have not had iPhoto opened in long time and I'm not sure if I have ever opened iPhoto since iCloud went active. I only use iPhoto when I want to make a greeting or post card. I just opened iPhoto and clicked on Photo Stream (on the left) and it asks if I want to turn it on. I just noticed that there is a option to click that says "No Thanks". I never turned Photo Stream on in iPhoto, but never said no thanks either. After clicking the "No Thanks" button, Photo Stream disappears from the left. Maybe that will solve the problem. I will need to give it some time to see, because it does not happen right away.

Photo Stream keeps turning off in Aperture

I have Aperture 3.2 and have enabled Photo Stream, several times. It syncs all of my photos with my iPhone 4 and imports the new ones in a project. I close Aperture and reopen it several days later, go to the Photo Stream library and Photo Stream is asking if I want to turn Photo Stream on. All of the pictures are gone. I turn it back on and it spends the better part of a hour updating. I am using a newer MacBook Pro and sometime I power it completely down if it will be in the case for awhile. When this happens I have checked the iCloud settings in the System Preferences and Photo Stream is checked. Anyone else haveing this problem? I seen some people are having the same trouble with iPhoto.
Thanks,
Mike

HT201317 How do I move photos that were taken when photo stream was turned off into the photo stream on my iPad2?

How do I move photos that were taken when photo stream was turned off into the photo stream on my iPad2?

You will need to do that by syncing them with a computer and then syncing the computer with the iPad.

Why does photo stream keep shutting off on my pc?

When I open my iCloud control panel, at first I can see that it's checked off - then when the program is fully open and allowing me to input I notice that the photo stream box is now unchecked. I check it (turn it on) again and click apply. Then I click try to access my Photo Stream on PC and it tells me Photo Stream is not enabled - go turn it on in the iCloud control panel. Been there - done that. I'm also using the iPhoto app on my iPad - don't know if this causes conflict??

The iPhoto app on your iPad is not the cause of this problem.
Try uninstalling the iCloud application from your computer. Then reinstall it following the links provided at http://www.apple.com/ca/icloud/setup/pc.html

TS4175 Allowed all these files and even switched security software off but photo stream is still greyed out on the icloud control panel on my windows 7 pc. Any other ideas?

See above

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Photo Stream keeps turning itself off in Aperture?

Anyone having trouble in Lion with Aperture 3.22 where, almost every time I start Aperture, I find Photo Stream has been turned off again?

There is a similar thread going on in the ApertureExpert forum. No answer as of this moment but maybe you should subscribe to it in case they find the answer. The ApertureExpert himself is looking for an answer.

Will turning off My Photo Stream also turn off iCloud Photo Sharing?

I don't like the new Photos app in iOS 8. I was a frequent user of the iPhoto app and am sad to see it go. It was the best app I found for quick white balance fixes (you could point to skin on a picture and it set the white balance appropriately). It was also great for seeing EXIF data, location data, and for sending photos to other editing apps. The Photos app has limited support for sending to other editing apps, actually it doesn't send photos to any of the editing apps. It also does not readily display photo informations. The edits in the Photo app leave something to be desired (since it meant the demise of iPhoto). I am also not a fan of how camera roll and Photo Stream are meshed together. My family uses the iPhoto desktop app which is tied to my Photo Steam. In iOS 7 it was easy to just ignore the Photo Stream since it would include everyone's photos and work on my camera roll, but now it's a cluttered mess.
Since I have a subscription to Adobe Lightroom there is no need for the Photo Stream backup, so I am tempted to turn My Photo Stream off. As indicated in the title, I would like to know if turning off My Photo Stream will also delete photos I've shared in iCloud with other users. I would like those photos to stay and the ability to share photos going forward. Since My Photo Stream and sharing on iCloud are two different options in Setting, I assume that turning one off won't affect the other. Can anyone verify?

Save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then you can delete them from photo stream and the copies in the camera roll will remain on your phone. Note: deleting them from photo stream will delete them from iCloud and all your devices.

Photo stream not turning off

Hello,
We are are updating iPads to iOS 7 in our fifth grade. We have turned off photo stream and shared photo stream with a profile in Apple Configurator that gets applied to every ipad. We also are using Casper as our mdm and have turned it off on the Casper side also, yet when we go to turn on iCloud we have noticed that all of the photos in photo stream start downloading and saving to the device. Is this a bug in iOS 7?
We turn on iCloud to have find my ipad enabled. And the options for turning off photo stream are gone from the pictures & camera part of the settings which I'm guessing A/C took those off.
In the meantime we are telling kids to delete the pictures from their devices but we would like to figure this problem out going forward.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

reading up on photostream, looks like re-enabling was a mistake, as photos taken after enabling photostream are uploaded, while older photos are not. I therefore cannot test a fix. I read that restarting photo or camera app mayfix the issue?

How can I see photos from my photo stream on my pc with the iCloud application installed on my pc.

I want to download the photos from my iCloud onto my PC. I installed the iCloud for PC and can open it, but cannot figure out how to see the photos. Photo Streaming in turned on for the iCloud.

Check Pictures>Photo Stream>My Photo Stream. Note: when you turn it on you will only see photos from the last 30 days as photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. If you want to stream older photos to your PC, create a shared photo stream containg the photos and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

mlvov,
I did as you said and went to the icloud control panel on my Windows 8 Laptop to be sure I was looking at the correct folder for my photo stream. All my "shared" albulms pushed to my Laptop and are up-to-date with the exception of the "photostream" album. If I create a "shared stream album" and place photo's in it on the phone; I can see the photos on my laptop. I dont get it. I had a iphone 4s and had zero isues and now with my new nifty iPhone 5s it doesent work.
What am I not doing correctly.
Thanks,
iPhone, 5s, iOS 7.0.2

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.

Why does Photo Stream keeps switching itself off?

Hello
I use Photo Stream, but I sometimes wonder what the point is as I have found it to be extremely temperamental. Probably 90 per cent of the time I start up iPhoto, I find that Photo Stream has switched off on its own and of course I then have to spend a valuable minute or two switching it back on again. Sometimes new photos do not sync to Photo Stream as a result. This odd glitch has gotten increasingly irritating with time and I would love to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in anticipation!
PS - I am using the latest version of iPhoto

Do you have more than one library? If you do each time you change libraries you will need to activate PhotoStream for that library as PhotoStream can only be activated on one library at a time.
If you only have one library try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
