On a windows 7 pc, my icloud photo button is shaded and I can't check it

On my windows 7 PC, after opening the icloud control panel, the MAIL & BOOKMARKS options are checked, but the PHOTOS option is shaded out and I can't check it. I've tried logging out and back in, same thing.
How do I get the photo sharing to work?

When you say you updated your apple id, do you mean you logged into your old apple id and edited your email by changing it to your new email? If so, you need to go to appleid.apple.com on a web browser and log in with the new email and then edit the email back to the old email. Then go to icloud settings on your phone and turn off Find my iphone. Go to bottom of that page and Delete the account but keep info on your phone. Then go back to appleid.apple.com and change the email back to the new one. Go back on your phone and log into icloud with the new appleid email.

My Icloud email adress got deleted and I can't remember my password so I can't sign on to iCloud!

My Icloud email adress got deleted and I can't remember my password so I can't sign on to iCloud! How do I fix this problem?

Move your curring iPhoto app to the Trash (don't empty) and then try purchasing again. If you're still having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?

This is a workstation first off, right? 60 lbs or so?:
And you have 10.7.2, if not why not?
Quad core 2.8GHz? 3 x 2GB RAM or more?
Consider new Mac Pro comes with 1TB drive 50% is actually a lot. Most users off load non system stuff to one of the other 4 hard drive bays.
As for youtube I do read and saw threads when Lion came out. Lion does not support Rosetta aka PPC/PowerPC code of any kind, plug-ins, drivers and software all. Check into Lion Community?

My icloud account id was deleted and I can't enter a new one

my icloud account id was deleted and I can't enter the new one on my device. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Hi Ross, before getting so heavy handed:
1] Reapply the 10.4.6 Combo Updater or apply the 10.4.8 Combo Updater as this has done wondrous things for some folks. Follow standard precautions re updates/upgrades.
2] Do a Forum Search, all forums, on any confusion. If find no help then
3] Post a new topic, probably best in

Good Luck, JP

TS4403 On my windows 7 computer the iCloud control panel has Photo Steam greyed out and I can't select it

I checked my iphone and icloud is set to share my Photo Stream but from my computer with icloud 2.1.2 the Photo Stream option is greyed out and I can't select it. What to do??

Some people have fixed this by uninstalling iCloud (control panel>uninstall or change a program>iCloud>uninstall), restarting the PC, then download and reinstall the iCloud control panel for Windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.

HT201302 How do I import my iCloud Photo Stream into Finder so I can edit images in Photoshop?

I'm new to iCloud and my Photo Stream. On my iPhone 6 I have 60-odd pictures from a vacation that I'd like to put on Facebook _AFTER_ editing them in Photoshop CS4. Is there a easy way to copy the photo stream pictures to Finder so I can get started? I don't see this option on my iPhone, and I definitely don't want to import them into iPhoto which is so limited in editing capabilities.
Thanks in advance for any/all help.
Mike

Who shall be able to see your photos? If you use "My Photo Stream", only persons using your AppleID and iCloud account will be seeing the Photos. That is very restrictive. And the PhotoStream does not store your photos for a long time. It only pushes the photos to your other devices.
You can use Shared Photo Streams. That are stored in the cloud and you can invite other iCloud users to view these streams. But they will need MacOS X Mt. Lion to see the stream. iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
But if you publish a journal as a webpage to your iCloud homepage, the webpage will be stored in the cloud and you can invite persons to view the webpage. They do not need to sign up for a shared photo stream.
To view your published web journal in a web browser you need to share a link, also to yourself on your windows laptop:
To share a link to your published journal, tap Share Journal and do any of the following:
Send a link in a message: Tap Message, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Tweet a link: Tap Twitter and enter a tweet. Tap Send.
Post a link to Facebook: Tap Facebook and tap Post.
Send an email with a link: Tap Mail, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Copy a link: Tap Copy and paste the link into another app.
Sharing your journal and publishing to Photo Stream may take a long time. Your iPad will not upload to the Cloud, if the battery is low (less then 20%).

Before 8.3 update when I saved photos they were added to my camera roll. Then I could access the photo I wanted from any app. Now when I SAVE a photo it is not added to the camera roll at all. iCloud photo is on. AND my Photo Stream is GONE entirely.

Hi all. Since updating my iphone 6 a couple days ago, I have discovered awful glitches in photos. When I save photos they do not get added to my camera roll. My Camera Roll and Photo Stream used to match. I would take a photo on the camera and I would see it on my photo stream. Yesterday, I added an edited photo to my camera roll by saving it (I thought). But it was not there. In the past, if I wanted a photo to post in any app, from Twitter to Facebook to Yelp, in order to retrieve it easily (if I had a lot of photos on my phone) I would sometimes text it to myself and then save it. It would be added to my camera roll. Then, when any app asked me to upload a photo, I could find it right at the beginning of my camera roll photos. Now, when I save a photo it does not appear on my camera roll. I discovered this yesterday when posting a Yelp review. I found the photo I wanted to use on my camera roll and it was way back at the beginning of the camera roll. I edited the photo. I saved it. It did not get added to my camera roll. So then I looked for the photo on the camera roll where I had originally found it way back at the beginning. The edited version of the photo was gone. Could not find my photo to upload to Yelp. Then I discovered it was the same with every other app on the phone.
PHOTO STREAM DISAPPEARED! This was my main problem and primary question until I tried to resolve the issue. I saw a message on my phone that said (I thought) that I needed to connect my phone to my laptop to restore icloud backups. So I manually connected my phone to my Mac Pro Laptop (2011) and backed up my photos. I made sure iCloud was turned on for photos. I have it set to Download and Keep Originals. It is also set to Upload to My Photo Stream. And iCloud sharing is turned on.
WHEN I connected my phone to my computer I got a message on my phone about setting it up for personal hotspot and it would not complete the update unless I replied. At first i did set it up, but it seemed to be an issue, so I simply let my phone and computer use my home wifi network. I don't need the personal hotspot, but it seemed to affect the photo issue further.
Now where I used to see Photo Stream and Camera Roll, it simply says All Photos. I am extremely confused. This is a mess. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I restored it twice, once from icloud backup and then from my computer back up. I just restored again and set it up as a new iphone and now my photos are saving again. I was then able to sync apps and music from my itunes to my phone... So happy you wouldn't believe!!

Problems with iCloud photos on both iPhoto and Aperture after uploading Yosemite

I uploaded Yosemite and am unable to access my photo albums in iCloud on both iPhoto or Aperture.
I have repaired permissions,repaired database,rebooted,checked preferences. done everything I can think of to get them visible on my Macbook pro.
I know that the albums are there as they show on my iPad.
any new photos are shared and I can place them in the albums but none of the 15,000+ photos previously shared show in their respective albums.
This after leaving the programmes running for 3 days.
any help really appreciated
Thank you

Can you please show a sample of the wrong dates - both for Aperture and iPhoto?
What is your Aperture version and your iPhoto version exactly?
What did you do, before this problem started? Have you tried already some trouble shooting, like repairing the Aperture library ? Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805

Unexpected performance of Firefox in Windows 7, namely minimize/maximize/close buttons not working and unable to move/resize window.

I have been using FF for a while now. My main computer was WinXP-32, though I recently bought a new laptop with Win7-64 installed. This problem was never experienced on my WinXP machine.
Brief description of problem:
After a time of having FF up and running, the minimize/maximize/restore/close buttons in the top-right no longer work as expected and, if not maximised, I cannot move the window around my desktop nor resize the browser window. When clicked, the buttons will
rapidly flash on and off continuously without appearing to perform any noticeable function other than temporarily hogging CPU cycles. I've found that clicking (sometimes double clicking) in the main browser window then mousing over the buttons again seems
to stop them flashing, though does nothing else.
To minimize/maximize/restore/move/close the window(s), I have to right-click on the relevant tab in my taskbar and pick the desired option. Occasionally, however, even this doesn't work and the right-click menu will disappear as soon as I move the mouse
over it after right-clicking. 'Show desktop' is a temporary fix for minimising windows and 'ALT + F4' or 'CTRL + W' for closing windows or tabs. This isn't satisfactory and to move or resize a window, I have to close the window in question (sometimes all other
windows too), reopen it and do what I need to do, though sometimes even this is only a very short fix. If I have to close all the windows, FF will sometimes keep running for a while afterwards, even though no windows are actually open - simply ending the process
via the windows task manager will fix this though is only a work-around, not a fix.
One thing I have noticed is that if I manage to move the browser window (when not maximised), for a short period afterwards I can often resize the window successfully. This is more likely to occur if the browser window is not flush with the edge of my screen
once moved.
I've tried to include as much information as I can - most of which was determined after several minutes/hours of playing around with different scenarios, trying to manually reproduce particular problems or simply through sheer luck of happening to click
in the right place at the right time! I hope there is a reasonably fix for this at some point in the not-too-distant future.
I noticed in some of the threads at another site where people have voiced problems similar to mine, that a link to 'ObjectDock' was discovered in some cases. I do have 'ObjectDock 1.90 Plus' installed on my machine and use it in many ways and so decided
to see if I could find a connection between the two. I have uninstalled, tested, and reinstalled both programs in a multitude of ways, though could find no conclusive correlation between having both bits of software running or installed at the same time and
the problems I am experiencing. In my case, at least, this does not appear to be an answer.
Also, in another thread on this site, someone suggested there might be a link with AVG Anti-Virus Free (I have version 9.0.819) though I've tried uninstalling it and its various add-ons in several different combinations, with no noticeable improvement.
Sorry for such a long question... If you need to know anything more, just let me know!
- James

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

Help I have installed and reinstalled iTunes but it will not open. I get an error telling me that windows DEP will not allow the program to run and i can not shut the DEP off for the program. i need to reset my ipod touch and cant cause of this.

I have tried to shut off the DEP for the program but it is not allowed. I can't get to any of my music on my computer because of this. I use windows vista and was able to use ITunes until the upgrade to 10.2. now i can't even open the program and it is getting me very upset. Please someone help me.

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Hey e.cliff,
Thanks for the question. When you sign out of your son’s iCloud account you will be prompted to keep or delete the data on your phone. After you elect to keep the data on your device, you can setup your own iCloud account and the data will be merged/uploaded to your new account:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436
As always, it is a good idea to backup your device before attempting these steps:

My icloud email address is wrong and I can't change it!

Hi,
So i have changed jobs, email address and phone - I have updated my Apple ID to my new email address. Everytime I turn on my phone it tells me I need to enter my icloud password but it lists my old email address as the sign in address. I have tried to delete the account but it asks to "Enter the password for "oldemail address" to turn off Find my iPhone" - as I dont remember the password I cant turn it off and delete the account.
Is there a way to update the icloud email address? The field is greyed out unde the "icloud account information page" so cant do anything there.
What do I need to do - very frustrated!
Thanks in advance
Jordan
