Photo Stream not working on Windows in a Virtual Machine, but not on my Mac

Hi there,
since yesterday I tried to connect to Photo Stream with my Mac, but I can't. It works fine in my Windows 7 Virtual Machine with the iCloud software, it works fine on my iPhone 4S. The iCloud System Status suggests that all services work just fine.
However, as soon as I try to activate Photo Stream in iPhoto 9.2 (626) (App Store version, confirmed latest version) or Aperture 3.2 (non App Store version, confirmed latest version), I am presented with the message, which roughly translates to "Activating Photostream... iPhoto couldn't connect to Photostream", with an "Abort" button as the only option.
All other iCloud features work perfectly fine for me. Any suggestiosn?
Thanks!

confirm that it is activated in icloud preference pane ( System-Settings ) like this :

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why has my icloud photo stream stopped working on windows xp

I am unable to photo stream through iCloud anymore I have done it recently but it has stopped working, I've updated everything but when the control panel comes up I keep getting a Runtime error from windows and icloud photos is not enabled when I try to view on Windows Explorer.
Any help to solve this problem?
Helen

Photo stream can be problematic on a PC. There's a long discussion on this here: My Photo Stream is empty with iCloud Control Panel 3.0. I ran into this problem myself and was able to get it working again by changing the iCloud Photo location back to /Pictures/Photo Stream as posted by RobBar on page 13 of this discussion.

DragAcceptFiles Working in Windows 10 TP build 9926 But Not Working In build 10049 and build 10061

This is a cross post from
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a63519d4-ba7a-46c1-bb34-ad034b836964/dragacceptfiles-working-in-9926-but-not-working-in-10049-and-10061?forum=WinPreview2014General. The moderator suggested I post this here:
My company has a software product that accepts dragged items. In all versions of Windows from XP through Windows 10 build 9926 that functionality has worked fine. However, with build 10049 (possibly 10041 which I did not test thoroughly before going
to 10049) and now 10061 that functionality stopped working. The application calls DragAcceptFiles to enable drag drop messages. In addition, either ChangeWindowMessageFilter is called on Vista or ChangeWindowMessageFilterEx is called on Windows
7 and higher for the messages WM_DROPFILES, WM_COPYDATA, and WM_COPYGLOBALDATA. This was working fine on Windows 10 build 9926. Now when I attempt to drag an item to our software product, I get the "Don't" symbol (circle with line through
it) and no WM_DROPFILES messages are received. The application is unchanged with only an upgrade to the Windows 10 build performed. As a sanity check, I created a brand new VM running build 9926 and the functionality worked fine. I then upgraded
the VM to 10049 and it stopped working. The following day I upgraded to 10061 and it is still broken. Is there are new filter or restriction in place since build 9926 on DragAcceptFiles that would be stopping the traditional drag drop procedure
from working? This is very frustrating because there is a dearth of information on Windows 10 API changes and since this appears to be some kind of recent change, I am out of ideas of where to look for answers. I can duplicate this problem on the older
platforms by simply calling DragAcceptFiles with the second parameter set to false. In that case, on Windows 7 for example, I will get the "Don't" symbol just I am getting now in the Windows 10 TP with the argument set to true.

DragAcceptFiles is now working again in 10074 so whatever the problem was, it has been fixed.

HDD not working on windows because of time machine...WHAT TO DO?

I am a new Mac user and cannot seem to get it with the external harddrives. I bought one that is supposed to be working with both windows and mac but after installing time machine (which formatted it in a non windows way i guess) it is not readable by windows. I have browsed several articles but have no idea what to do. Would it help to part it in 2 and use one part for time machine while formatting the other one to fit with windows? Would that work? I want to be able to have time machine but also randomly being able to copy music from friends with pc:s. Other people seem to be complaining after doing that (parting) mac could not read the stuff from windows. aaaargh help!!What to do???

Okay, I copied the library to another location and when I tried to open that library by pressing option at startup to choose the library, it told me the following:
There was an error opening the database for the library "library name". The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported.
So, I'm guessing that was a fail! I then tried the suggestion from Frank Caggiano, which also did not work. I'm feeling quite defeated. Looking for that magic touch

Scan not working after windows 10 upgrade."1510 series not detected"

upgraded to windows 10 couple of days back. now scan not working, printing fine.tried updating drivers no joy.Hope HP finds a solution soon.

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Wifi not working with iTunes, apps store and some, but not all Internet sites....why???

Yesterday I noticed while browsing Internet that some sites would not open and that some games I regularly play would not open. I also found that I could not open either the apps store or iTunes. Everything seemed to be working the day before and I have not recently upgraded ios (been on version 6.1.3 for a while) or changed any settings on my iPad (2). With Internet research today I found suggestion that if I switched to 3G I would be able to access these apps and,sure enough, under 3G connection everything works fine. Some other forums suggest changing wifi router settings to fix the issue ....I have not tried this as I wouldn't like to mess with my router and end up effecting other peripherals/pc's connected to it that are working fine....especially when I am not terribly IT savvy when it comes to hardware settings. But as I haven't changed anything on my ipad why would my wifi suddenly stop connecting to some apps on my iPad, but not all??? Interestingly I can access many Internet sites (forums) with wifi connection but not the apple forum! To get to anything apple related I have to switch back to 3G ....that includes checking the iOS version I am on via settings!
I also mention that I have done all the other suggested fixes found on various forums, such as rebooting iPad, renewing wifi lease, clearing cookies, closing all apps etc etc, to no avail. Seems the only suggested fix I have not tried is mucking around with my router which I am very hesitant to do given the **** I went through with my telco when my home Internet connection suddenly stopped working last year. Took me weeks of phone calls to get my internet connection back and being forced by the telco to a more expensive plan, hence very reluctant to start mucking around with that side of things, but why should I need to when it does seem to be working ok with other devices in the home?
I have started this as new discussion as, even though I am not terribly IT savvy, I cant see how this could be related to the wifi issues that many on the newer devices (iPhone 5 and iPad mini etc) are reporting as I haven't recently upgraded anything on my ipad and all was working perfectly up until yesterday.
Any other suggestions on how to get wifi working correctly again on iPad or do I really have to risk the working of every other device in my home and chase it from modem/router side?

Hi there,
You mentioned that you have tried a few troubleshooting steps already, but you may want to take a look at the article below, specifically the section titled "If you are unable to access the Internet while connected to a Wi-Fi network"

Setup Airport Extreme for the home wireless - MacBook Air, Pro, and iPad connect just fine. Wireless will not work to Windows 7 and Vista machines - network seen, tries to connect, but fails after entering WPA key.

Can't get Windows Vista or Windows 7 laptops to access internet via Airport Extreme. Works fine with security on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iPad. Brand new Airport, bought today. Windows machines worked fine with existing, relatively modern Cisco home router. The Windows machines see the wireless network, prompt for password, and then cannot connect. Have tried all sorts of things with Windows machines, deleted existing networks, etc. even tried guest login with no security on the Airport - no luck. Windows XP machine directly (wire) connected works fine. Magic Jack works OK. Light is green on the front.

Thank you very much for your help @Sunshyn2005!!!!! I think we're good to go now!

JBL Charge not working on a Windows7 PavilionG6. Connected but not showing as an audio device.

I have a:
HP Pavilion G6-1242sa
Product: A5H10EA#ABU
Serial: {Personal Information Removed}
I am using Windows 7 64-Bit.
I am trying to pair my JBL Charge Bluetooth speaker to my HP Pavilion. I have installed the latest drivers for the speaker from Ralink. I am able to detect and connect the JBL Charge through my Bluetooth dongle . The device is added and installed as a Bluetooth device when I connect my computer to my Bluetooth speaker. All seems good.
But I cannot see the Bluetooth speaker in my Playback Devices when I right click over the speaker icon. When I right clik on the properties of the device in my Bluetooth device I am given the tabs of:
General, Hardware, Services, Bluetooth.
I am not given the option of Audio!
I have installed the HP Wireless Assistant and can only see my Wireless LAN Adapter. Bluetooth is not showing at all!!
I am able to turn the Bluetooth on and off in the notifications area via the Bluetooth icon though.
Please could you give me some advice on how to resolve my issue as I am not sure if its a sound problem or a bluetooth connection problem.
Kind regards
Chris

Hi Mario,
I have been through the help documents regarding Blutooth but have not found my problem unfortunately.
I have downloaded the drivers for the device from Ralink. I tried to download the drivers from Broadcom but whenever I ran the installation I got the error message saying that it did not detect any Bluetooth devices, even though the Bluetooth speaker was on discovery mode.
Strangely, my HP Pavilion G6 can detect the Bluetooth speaker in discovery mode and is able to pair to it. But when I open the HP Wireless Assistant, Bluetooth is not shown. Nor is the device shown as a playback device in sound settings. Nor is there a way you can right click and open a connection to the Bluetooth speaker in Devices and Printers > Bluetooth Devices > JBL Charge.
I have tried downloading all sorts of driver software from HP but nothing seems to work. I cannot think of anything else to update on my computer to maybe shift something into place.
Below is a screen grab of all the sp's I have used to resolve this problem. Nothing is working!!!
Is there anything else I can check or configure or try??
Kind regards,
Chris

Aluminum keyboard eject button does not work on Windows XP

I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue:
the eject disk button on my new aluminum keyboard does not work in Windows XP (Boot Camp).
As I have a Mac Pro, there is no way of manually opening and closing the tray-loading Superdrive.
I can open the drive if I right-click "My Computer>DVD drive>Eject" but there is no way of closing it back. I am obviously not a Windows XP expert, are there ways of mapping the eject function to any key?

Actually, how does Software Update figure out what apps you have available for update?
I always thought that Software Update looks at your /Library/Receipts to check what Apple pkgs you have for update, so I assumed that any Apple-related Pkg would be updated. I may be totally wrong on this, correct me if that is so...but thanks for the info.

Java 7 U25 work around does not work for windows 8

I'm working on a java application which uses the statistical software R. This line Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1 + "/bin/" + "R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R"); in the application started throwing an error after the java 7 u25 update, but it was fixed by using the work around setting jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbigousCommands to true. This fix however does not work in windows 8, although the command does not error out with "cannot create process = 2" it just executes the line, but does nothing. But if I typed the command (R CMD BATCH " + "./data/rJava.R) directly into the commandline, it works perfectly. I've tried disabling the work around, and actually using suggested solutions in the release notes (see below), all worked in windows 7, but no success with windows 8. Any suggestions would be great
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("c:\\Program File\\foo.exe").start();
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "c:\\Program File\\foo.exe" });
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"c:\\Program File\\foo.exe\"");

avancentcisco - Win7 works fine with SSL VPN. But since we all were migrating to Win8, this was of no use to us. So we ditched SSL VPN all together.
IPSec VPN with Cisco VPN Client (version 5.0.07) works absolutely fine on Windows 8. Once you get the set up right, everything works fine (we are using full tunnel) including internet access.
If you struggle to get it working then let me know and I can help you out. There's not much info out there on the internet. I had to do it the hard way.

TS3989 Cannot get Photo Stream to sync on Windows 8.1. Shared streams work fine, but not personal stream. ANYONE please advise...

Cannot get Photo Stream to sync on Windows 8.1. Shared streams work fine, but not personal stream. ANYONE please advise...

Videos in a shared Photo Stream can only be streamed, they cannot be downloaded.

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best. Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself. A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network. Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

TS3989 My Photo Stream works and I have iCloud control panel installed. The photo stream sync is selected, but when I go to the my photo stream folder on my windows PC there are no photos in the file.

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
