Photostream checkbox not available in iCloud control panel: Windows 7 PC, 64 bit

Photostream checkbox in iCloud control panel is not available to be checked. I've uninstalled & reinstalled maybe 4-5x now. Also tried switching from Chrome to Explorer 9 for downloading to see if that might help. Also have deleted everything Apple on my PC, & started from scratch. The very odd thing is, it used to work just fine. At some point within the last 2-3 months, there must have been an update that was installed, and I can no longer access the checkbox on photostream.Tech help could not figure out a solution either.
Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit, Serv Pack 1

  • Why is Photostream grayed out, not available, in iCloud Control Panel?

    I have uninstalled iCloud Control Panel, rebooted, reinstalled, several times. Always the same result.

    I am beyond sick of this problem!!!  Spent nearly a whole day last week uninstalling, reinstalling, settings, more settings, closing down, opening up yadiyadiya..........Thought Id sorted it - well for one day!!  And here we go again!!!!  As soon as I find an alternative method of posting photos I will discard icloud completely.  Apple help is no help.  I dont want to read any more notes, fixes, information which isnt effective or which Ive already tried.  Its clearly a total sytem failure and I for one am sick of it!!!

  • Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

    I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
    The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
    How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

  • Can not login to iCloud Control Panel

    Downloaded and installed iCloud control panel. When I try to login, it says my Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud Account. I can login to the iCloud website ok.  What is the problem wit hthe control panel?
    Thanks,

    I am on 10.7.2, my iPhone iCloud account works fine, I can sign in at the iCloud website no problems, but have the same error message. I also get this when trying to create an account:
    I've waited many moments, still no joy.
    Has anyone got a response from an actual apple support person? Or is that a waste of time?

  • I can sign into icloud online but not on the icloud control panel

    Hi,
    I am new to Apple.  I decided to start with an Ipad, and love it.  However, I cannot figure out an issue I am having.  I have Windows 7.  The icloud control panel worked without issue until a few weeks ago.  I have an ipad 3.  I have reset my password a few times, but it doesn't fix the issue.  I have reinstalled the software, and still have the issue.  Any suggestions?

    in that case you need the help of Apple Support.- only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone umbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Icloud control panel windows 2.0 - selective sync?

    Does anybody know if it's possible to only sync iCloud Contacts into Outlook, and not contact, calendar and mail. I specifically only want to sync contacts wiht Outlook, this way my contacts are all stored in the cloud, but available in Outlook and my iPhone. I don't want mail and calendar syncing to my work laptop. This used to be possible with icloud control panel 1.x but now with 2.0 it's all or nothing sync. Really *****!

    I was also disappointed by the "all or nothing" approach, but there is a sort-of workaround: when you install ICP 2.0, it asks whether you want to merge "all things" or "some things" to the cloud. You choose "some" and then you get a list of contacts/calendar/tasks. Uncheck the calendar box. Then the iCloud calendar appears empty in Outlook, and your contacts will still sync.
    But beware there is a bug in ICP 2.0 which makes it difficult to send mail. See this other thread about that:

  • Icloud control panel (windows PC) won't log in

    Hi,
    I am trying to log into the iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 PC.  I always get an error that says "You can't sign in because of a sever error".  How do I find out what that error is and why it won't log in? 
    (BTW, I am going to the control panel so I can figure out how to change the photostream, which appears to be interfering with Windows Live Photo Gallery.  My PC always shows an "I" drive under Computer>Other, which is labelled the Photostream System Folder).
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Here we are in 2014 and they still havent resolved the issue .. not impressing at all ... **** poor deisgn ... think these geeks wouild have figured it out by now

  • Undoing iCloud Control Panel Windows XP Workaround

    At least 3 sites discuss the same procedure to to make iCloud Control Panel for WIndows run under Windows XP.
    I followed the directions and discovered that the resulting code didn't work for wireless printing from iPad to my Brother HL5370DW printer. It crashes the printer, which must be shut down and restarted.
    How can I back track and remove the changes made to iCloud.msi making it a modified iCloud?
    Changes made:  VersionNT>=600 changed to VersionNT>=200.
    Rerunning iCloud.msi did not produce table with VersionNT and its value 200. Instead it shows VersionNT and in the next column 'VersionNT not supported'.
    Help appreciated

  • Quad SLI option not available in Nvidia Control Panel after complete reformat

    I had a SSD failure on this new build in Raid 0. Before I RMA'd the HD I went with one HD and was able to get Quad SLI running. Now after going Raid 0 with the new HD I had to reformat and I reloaded the OS and then updated all the drivers. Now I no longer get the option for Quad SLI even though my cards are seen by the device manager and the NCP. I can only go SLI on one card and can dedicate a GPU on the second card to Physx. I used the uninstall feature for each driver last night and then restarted in Safe Mode and used driver sweeper to clean out any remnants.  I then rolled back to an earlier nvidia driver on the 500 series with no luck. I installed Live Update but did not use it except to scan my system. It shows the latest Bios so that has not changed since. I also made sure that I was using the latest Realtek drivers. Any help will be appreciated.
    MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) latest Bios
    Win7 64bit Home Premimum SP1
    2 EVGA GTX 590 Classifieds
    16g 1600 Corsair Vengence
    2 ea SSD 120g Corsair Force GT's Raid 0
    Antec 1200W HC gold PS
    Coolemaster HAF X Case
    Corsair H100 H2O

    NO i was not able to get windows to load. I would have an intermittant SSD failure at diferent points during the installation process. I went to a single drive and it installed fine and after completion I downloaded updated drivers and went into the nvidia control panel and activated quad sli. I did have to remove one of the cards during the SSD install in order to facilitate the installation of the Sata cable into the MB. It is possible that the SLI bridge may have gone bad since it was disturbed. I ordered another one to be sure and it will arrive today. While waiting I switched the video cards in their slots to check them and I also verified that the PCI slots are good. Is there some history of a conflict between Raid 0 and 4 way SLI that I should be aware of?

  • Icloud control panel Windows XP

    Can someone PLEASE tell me how to connect my iPhone 4s to iCloud through my Windows XP computer?  What I find at Apple is a control panel for Windows Vista or Windows 7, which I do NOT have.  I want to download/upload pictures using PhotoStream.

    Uniquer2, Just want to give you a huge thanks as people like you make communities slay alive. You made it possible to run it on win xp. thanks!!  I did you last suggestion but only downloaded the 32 bit versions of the files, ran the icloud.msi and everything is working! THANKS!!
    DOOOHHHHH!!!!  I didn't realize it only syncs with Outlook 2007. I am still on 2003, I am poor. Wonder what I can find out there from FOSS which is like Microsoft Outlook. Thunderbird? Maybe there is a way to sync it somehow with my Gmail online? Who knows, just want to make sure I have my 2,000+ contacts backup'd up in multiple places as a fail safe. Been collecting em since I got a Palm Pilot back in 1997!! Everything is still with me, LOL. (It was a biiiatt****  going from Palm Sync to Outlook let me tell you, then into iPhone BUT well worth it.)

  • HT201317 I am unable to check photo stream for the icloud control panel. windows 7

    Does anyone know what causes this and how can I fix it? I have been driving myself crazy. It has worked before, but suddenly it is not.

    If you're trying to add photos to photo stream on your PC, you drag them to your photo stream uploads folder (normally My Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads).

    What do I do to get Notes to synch to my Windows 7 Outlook.  Before I began synching my IPod and IPhone to my PC with the ICloud and synched by cable, the synching was fine.  There is no mention of notes on the ICloud control panel but the ICloud is selected on Outlook notes. 

    Make sure you don't have any notes that have no content or subject or this can prevent syncing with Outlook.  If you do, delete them.
    If you don't, try unchecking "Mail,Contacts,Calendars & Tasks with Outlook" on the iCloud control panel for Windows, choose Delete at the prompt (the data will still be in iCloud), restart your PC, then go back and check this setting again.  (Your iCloud data will reappear in Outlook after a brief delay as it redownloads.)
    Then create a new note on one of your iOS devices and see if it appears in the Notes folder in Outlook mail after a few minutes.

  • Cannot login from Windows iCloud control panel, but that not all...

    I set up my Apple Id and downloaded the Windows iCloud control panel, but when I try to sign in from my PCI get this message: "You can't sign in because of a server error." But when I check the status of icloud everything is operational. But if I go to the icloud page directly, I can sign in normally. The reason this is an issue is that I cannot setup icloud on my computer properly and with all of the options I want without signing in from the icloud control panel. This really bites, and any help would be appreciated immensly.
    Thanks, Scott

    I am having the same problem. I really need a solution. My Admin is flying blind without being able to see my calendars.
