PC won't connect to photostream
On a new Windows 8 machine. Photos from either my iphone or ipad both show up on photostream for both devices. But my photostream folder on my PC shows absolutely nothing. I've reset the photostream in icloud several times, and uninstalled/reinstalled icloud software several times. Still nothing shows up on my PC at all.
Please help, very frustrating.
unfortunately I had no luck with that. I tried setting both the icloud.exe and photostream.exe as win 7 compatability (even another attemp as "run as admin") and also tried win xp service pack 3, then restarting my comp and all that fun stuff... No luck for me
Whats interesting though is that if I drag a photo to the uploads folder, i can see that photo on my iphone or ipad in the photostream section.. rather puzzeling.
But thanks anyway. I'll keep trying and if I can find something, I'll post.

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router
This is bizarre. I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months. It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only. But now it refuses to connect to the router. It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router. I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
Network Name (SSID) found - Pass // Wireless Networks Detected - 9
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled. I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
Also, before today, this was never a problem. HELP!
Thanks....
If you are interested, here's more detail and background.
Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer. This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not). Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine. If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference. In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself. And I printed. Fine, right?
But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this." I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer. But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer. Ugh! Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers. After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch. I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it. So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all. In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do. My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
Any suggestions?There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail: actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router). Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11. Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference. Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference. This change should not affect anything at all. To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
What brand and model is the router?
Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
What version is the Mac OS X? There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

I'm now having trouble getting mac mail to work on my mac. The mobile me account works great on iphone and ipad but it won't connect to my mail account. Password is correct. What else can I do? Using OS10.68
HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

Just took a 6520 out of the box, trying to set it up/print to it from a windows 8.1 computer, after returning a 4620 printer that had the same problem.
Ran the setup software. Setup software can't even manage to figure out what wireless network the computer it's running on is connected to - useless.
Printer can find the wireless network, and when using the wrong password, won't connect, citing wrong password.
When I use the right password, it just fails to connect.
I've rebooted my router, rebooted my computer, rebooted the printer. No good. Print doctor software is useless as it can't even find the printer.
I've turned off MAC filtering on my router, and disabled Windows Firewall. Nothing.
I have an epson printer that has no problem connecting, and every other wifi capable device I own can connect to my wifi with no problem, from both Android and apple phones to tablets to four different PCs and laptops to my freaking nest thermostat. Why can't my printer manage to just work over wifi?
I do not have a USB cable for the printer (it wasn't sold with one), btw, so trying that is out (besides, I bought this as a wireless printer, not a wired printer).
Help please.Hi MattMihaly,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I see you have a Photosmart 6520 and a Windows 8.1 computer that don't seem to want to talk to one another. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will certainly do my best to help!
I would suggest you start by following the steps for Windows 8 in this 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati... document (make sure to follow the Option two: Connect with the Wireless Setup Wizard under Step five). If that doesn't resolve it, please try the steps under Your printer has never worked over the network in the HP Wireless printing center.
I realize you may have tried some of these steps, perhaps all of them, before but often trying them in a specific order is what makes the difference
Let me know how this goes for you!

My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus printer/scanner/fax/copier won't connect to my wireless network
I tried going through the Wireless Network setup on my HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus machine. The printer recognizes the network and I then type in my network's password but it won't connect to the network. What can I do? I would like to be able to print and scan wirelessly. Help please!
Hello erking,
Sorry to hear that you are having an issue with connecting the printer to your Mac over a wireless connection.
I have done some research and I have found a great document that deals with The Printer Is Not Found During a Wireless Network Installation.
Please feel free to write me back and I will be happy to assist you further with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thanks for your time.

IPOD won't connect to Windows or show up in itunes...HELP
Have my daughter's 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod here. When you plug it into the computer with the cord, it will turn on, and charge. However I get a balloon come up that says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not regognize it. For assistance in solving this issue click this message." I clicked the message. It shows the Ipod in Device Manager as an "unknown device" and when you try to update the driver, it says there are no better drivers to install than the one currently installed. I have tried the 5 R's step by step several times, and that does not work. I can not restore it because it does not show up in itunes. I have tried it on other computers and it does the same thing. It plays the music she has on it, works fine, but we can not get it to connect to either computer. Her friend's Ipods connect to both our computers fine, and will download songs etc. I also have tried putting it into disc mode to see if it would go into itunes so we can restore it. Same message comes up when you have it in disc mode. I have also tried the "tap on the palm" suggestion, which made no difference at all. It just won't connect. I do have the newest version of itunes downloaded and installed.
I am at my wits end with this thing! PLEASE help me get this thing to connect.

My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC
My Iphone 5 won't connect to my PC. When I plug it in to my PC nothing happens at all. My cord chargers on the charger so I dont think the cord could be the problem. Also I updated all my PC software, as well as my Iphone and still nothing. I tried plugging in my itouch to see if it would work and it does! So i think something with my phone is the problem! Please help!
Hi,
I have the same trouble. After reading many internet sites around this subject I found the following solution.
Although apple explained that it is not necessary with the lightning connector to use it in a special direction this seems not to be true.
I have just turned my connector by 180° and it is working again.
Hopefully this direction does not fail too. There are only 2 possibilities -
My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?
My iPhone 5 won't connect to my macbook pro retina over bluetooth?
Ah, sure it actually won't. I have the same problem, and I contacted Apple Support. They told me that there is an incompatability between the iphone 5 and MacBook Pro Retina such that Bluetooth pairing is not possible.
The Support Agent actually had the audacity to tell me this was part of the design of the OS on the MacBook Pro, like Windows people saying, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!!"
Personally, I think this is insane. While I was trying to tether the iphone to the MacBook Pro retina for an internet connection, there are other reasons related to file transfers for which one would want to pair the iphone 5 with the MacBook Pro retina.
I am hoping this "feature" is fixed in iOS 7, and/or in some dot release of Mac OS 10.8.
By the way, the personal hotspot feature on my Verizon iphone 5 works great either via a wifi or USB connection. There are occaisions, however, when one would 1) not have a USB cable, and/or 2) have another wifi relationship between the phone and a network that one would not want to have to "forget" in order for it not to connect to that wifi network. The Macbook will not find the iphone as a wifi hotspot if the iphone is connected to wifi in the first place. At least mine won't.

My new Macbook air won't connect to my Vizio HDTV.
My new Macbook Air won't connect to my Vizio VO32LF HDTV. I bought a mini-displayport to HDMI cable to connect the two. When I connect the cable, and switch to the appropriate HDMI input on the TV, my Macbook Air screen will flash blue for a second, and then return to normal. The TV reports it's unable to find a signal. I use the HDTV as my primary monitor, so I'd really appreciate some help on getting the two to place nicely together!
Cp,
Thanks for the reply. However, it appears that the issue is not with the hotspot, but with the network settings in the MacBook Air as every other device I have (including non-Apple devices) will connect to the iPhone hotspot. Another symptom is that my MacBook Air can find my iMac (and other network devices) on my wireless network, but the iMac can't find the MacBook Air.

MBP won't connect to external Toshiba LCD, MiniDisplay to DVI to HDMI
Brand new Mac Book Pro, 10.6.4, won't connect to external Toshiba 40" LCD display. I'm using a MiniDisplay to DVI-D adapter coming out of the computer. Then a 10' DVI-D (single link) to HDMI cable running to the display. When I connect the external display the MBP "searches" for a few seconds, but doesn't connect, and the Toshiba display reads: No video signal. This is with the MBP open and display on. BUT, sometimes when the MBP lid is closed, and I connect the display IT WORKS for a about 20 seconds, then the computer "goes to sleep" by itself, and the display shuts off. Strange problem... Also I've tested the computer with a 24" external Planar display (MiniDisplay to DVI-D), and it worked fine. Also the TV and DVI to HDMI setup works fine with my older MBP that has a DVI output. Any ideas...?
The adapter works perfect with other computers (mac pro and dual 24" displays). The problem only seems to happen with this new MBP, Toshiba TV, and the adapter configuration I described. I'm trying to find a friend with a similar new MBP, and try it with theirs. With so many components, it's hard to isolate the problem (especially when all the pieces seem to work properly on their own).
