My Photo Stream not going to my computer -but shared streams do.

I think this started when I updated to the newest version of iCloud panel for windows -version 4.0.2- because I had pictures from less than 2 weeks ago in the stream folder on my computer before I did the update. What I'm seeing is, on my computer (windows 8.1) I have all the photo streams with pictures that have been shared with me, including one I created today to test it out. Nothing is in the 'My Photo Stream" folder. The folder exists, it's just empty.
empty on my computer-
on my phone:
Here is what I have tried-
Signed in and out of iCloud panel on my computer and restarted computer
Turned on and off Photos in the iCloud panel and restarted computer
Turned on and off My Photo Stream in settings and rebooted the phone
Photo Stream has been spotty at best for the last year or more- but was working not that long ago.
I realize that a 'work around' would be to create a shared stream with myself and copy the pictures I want to get to my computer into it. However, I shouldn't have to. It is supposed to work automatically...
I don't see any answers to this anywhere, so if someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it! Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with Photostream. The "problem" is likely in the way you are using it.
In order for photos to be moved into Photostream, two things must happen. (1) you have to be connected to Wifi, and (2) you have to exit the Camera app. Unless both of those things happen, the photos will not be transferred to Photostream.
So, shut down your camera app, and connect to Wifi. Wait a while, and the photos you took with your iPhone should be transferred.

My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on.

My Camera Roll photos are not going to My Photo Stream on my iPhone. I have Wi-Fi and My Photo Stream is turn on(iCloud).

Not sure if you are referring to photos in the Camera Roll from before you turned Photo Stream on, but just in case you aren't aware, only new photos will go. Following quote is from: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.

My photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream. I have iCloud

My photos are not going automatically to my laptop in photo stream. I have icloud.

As for iCloud Settings, make sure, that in Settings > iCloud "Photo Stream" is turned on, on both the phone, and the iPad. If that is the case, make sure you are in the right photo-folder on the iPad (in your case). You might be in the "Saved Photos" folder, into which the new photos are NOT automatically downloaded. If that is the case, know the following: It make take a while though for photos to be uploaded to iCloud and then downloaded again by the other device, depending on the network. Give it some time, say 10-15 minutes (check your internet connection before that). If it still doesn't work, try an iCloud backup (Settings > iCloud > Backup to iCloud) on both your devices.

Have you already confirmed that you trust the computer?
Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to the computer.
When prompted, confirm that you trust the computer.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page. I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else.
Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer. After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.
My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router). All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues: 2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
I have run virus scans and malware scans. Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop. What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer. ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium. Now I will probably get hacked!
I am at my wits end. And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up. I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed. Also this is a time consumer.
This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
Help?
Addendum: I can scan using HP Printer Assistance. I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.

My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
This is occurring on a computer, correct?
Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

Song won't play because is is not authorized on this computer, but then try to authorize it and it says it's already authorized

I have purchased a song from the same computer on itunes that my library plays from. However this certain song is grayed out and will not play. It says the song is not authorized on this computer, but then I try to authorize it and I get a message that this computer is already authorized. Any ideas?

That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

HT4623 photo stream not uploading to windows computer

iO6, photo stream not uploading (via iCloud) from my iPhone 5 to Windows computer. All setting seem to be set to on.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Small still photo on video i pod w/ music but no streaming...

i have a new video ipod and i only get a small still photo w/ music but no streaming video. any ideas on how to get the video working and larger?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you are listening to music, then you will only get music and album art, not video. You have to have the videos to watch the videos.
Now, if you have videos on your iPod and when you watch them you only hear the audio and see a small shot of the video, then there are a couple of things to do, which should fix the problem.
First, make sure that you are accessing the video from the Videos menu, and not anywhere else. If you try to play a video, music video, video podcast, etc. from anywhere but the videos menu, you won't get video.
Second, make sure TV Out is set to off or ask (and then select no). Go to Videos-->Video Settings-->TV Out-->Off. Now try playing the video. It should play correctly.

IPod not detected in "My Computer" but fine in iTunes

Well for Christmas my dad got me a new 4GB iPod Nano 3rd Gen. I am very pleased with it except for the fact that when I enable disk use on my iPod I don't see it in "My Computer" (where like I can access my hard drive, you know). I have restarted both my iPod and my computer but to no avail. Please help me with this.

Try this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 it might resolve your issue with the ipod not displayed in "itunes" but shows up in "computer"
