Trouble enabling photostream, wont let me click enable photo stream, trouble enabling photostream, wont let me click enable photo stream
cant enable photostream in Mac. But it works on ipad and iphone
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

The emoji keyboard on my iphone 5c is enabled, but wont work! No matter what app i am in, even if it just my messages, the button that you click on to switch your normal keyboard to emojis is not there. Help!!!
RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). -
Background:
I left my iPhone4 on atrain and it promptly vanished off the face of the Earth despite my locking it online.
I intend to replace it with an iPhone 5S.
I also intend to purchase an iMac and Airport Time Capsule.
Meantime, I have bought an Apple TV and have configured it successfully to work wirelessly with my iTunes music and videos libraries on myToshiba laptop.
I have enabled Photostreaming of all my photo library folders to Apple TV within File/Home Sharing on iTunes but, cannot get it to synch. But what is it trying to synch with? My lost iPhone??The Apple TV Screensaver/Settings says that I have no images in my PhotoStream - although it seems it has found the folder - I think!
Query: Do I need an IOS device and not just wireless access to iTunes for this to work? (I thought that the Apple TV would work as a bridge to my PC Photo Library pro tem).
Grateful for all assistance and apologies if I am displaying my ignorance!Are these now in the cloud or just wirelessly loading from PC (and do they do that each time?) Can I view them only when connected to the wireless network? [I will need to change my folder structure with more top-level folders as Apple TV lumps all my sub-folders together into one and seems to sort only by date image was taken...]
These photos are neither in the cloud or synced to the Apple TV. When the Apple TV connects to your computer it will load a small database which is essentially just a list of everything in iTunes. When you select photos to view, they will be streamed from iTunes. So yes in order to see your photos, you need your computer on, iTunes active and both devices connected to the network.
As for oganisation, you will find you can only use one level of nested folders for homesharing photos. I'm not all that familiar with photo ordering from a PC, I don't think you have all the options you have if you were using a Mac.
Also, I am still a bit worried about synchronising my photos after I replace my lost 4S with a 5S and restore the backup from the lost phone. I lost it so long ago that there have been many changes to my photo library since.
Once you have restored your phone, you should be able to transfer the photos in your camera roll to the PC without any problems. If you have any albums on the phone that were synced previously to the 4S and you no longer have those photos on your PC, you should transfer them to your camera roll and import them to the PC before syncing the phone with iTunes.
Re Photostream, is there any benefit to using that? As I have no Apple device other than my Apple TV 3 at present (just a backup of my lost iPhone 4S), can I add to the Apple TV cloud via iTunes?
Photostream may still have it's uses even though you don't have a phone as yet. If you add photos to photo stream from your PC, they will be synced to the cloud and therefore available on your Apple TV, even when your computer isn't running. Take a little time to familiarise yourself with how photo stream works. Photos in the cloud are only kept for 30 days, but if they sync to a device such as your Apple TV during that time, they will stay there until the photo count reaches a thousand. It will then delete the oldest photo when adding a new one. Photo stream shared albums are slightly different in that photos don't get automatically deleted from them. Of course once you do get a phone, photo stream will become much more useful, even if all you use it for is syncing new photos to your PC in the background, without having to get involved with manually importing them.
i) Any suggestions for sorting video files that have somehow lost their soundtrack upon imported to my iTunes library?
That depends on what has happened. I suspect the soundtrack isn't lost but rather just in a format that iTunes doesn't understand. Open the files in QuickTime and let me know what file types they are.
ii) Ditto for videos files that are seen as if lying side on or totally inverted. Is there an equivalent to 'image rotate' for videos? BTW, do Apple also reduce the stored image sizes if you rotate images? (My PC warns me to make a copy before rotating or risk the loss of image quality.)
To change the orientation of a video, you will need to use an editing application, unfortunately I don't know what to suggest for the PC, I'm not sure whether 'Movie Maker' has the export settings to create Apple TV compatible content.
I'm not sure how applications handle photo manipulation on the PC. iPhoto on the Mac doesn't really rotate anything, it just applies a flag to tell the application which way to view the original which remains unaltered.
iii) Can you help with my other query in Classic iPods? [...had to ask ;-) ]
I'm not sure what that is. -

I applied and received an upgrade code to Redeem Mountain Lion for my new MBP.
I get this message when I try to Sign in to the App Store after entering the redemption content code, and also if I just try to "Sign In". The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
I received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
I also tried to re-create this appleID...(it was one suggestion I saw for this issue) It doesn't let me since the ID already exists...
The error is:
"This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue. Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc."
It's clearly not a cookie issue.. Stuck...The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
Try here > Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
Correct.
It's clearly not a cookie issue..
As for cookies. Quit the App Store. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder.
Type this exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go the move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. -

Why can't I enable an audio track for recording? (It won't let me)
I want to record VO but PP won't let me...
On Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in System Preferences:
• Sound Input is set to C-Media USB Headphone Set (an Alesis usb mic...works fine for VO in Final Cut Pro 7)
• Output is set to Headphone port
In Premiere Pro CC Audio Hardware Preferences:
• ASIO Hardware is set to "System Default Input/Output"
• I have also tried "C-Media USB Headphone Set but this, too, doesn't work
• With "System Default I/O" selected, Output Mapping is set to "Adobe Desktop Audio" (only choice), and shows:
• "Built-in Output: Headphones 1
• "Built-in Output: Headphones 2
• "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Left
• "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Right
all four of these have a couple of square icons to the right.
In order to record VO, I first need to "enable track for recording" in the Audio Track Mixer. There are no in or out points set in my timeline and the tracks are not locked or solo'd or anything. So why can't I select the audio track I want to use to record VO? I click it but there is no response. I just want to know why this software is not doing what it's designed to do.is I learn still around -? That was VERY HANDY!

I have an iPhone 4S running software 5.1 (9B179) and cannot sync the photos in PhotoStream with iPhoto '11 v 9.2.1 (628). There's no option to update iPhoto and no option of PhotoStream (which is enabled on my phone). Can anyone help?
Thanks, Peter.
The "link related" and "text related" crashes were what I interpretted here, too, though I'm at a loss on how to proceed given that this is a fresh system and applications. This is happening with multiple InDesign projects in a design office environment where many others work on the same files and none of the other computers are having problems with these files. I've removed the same files listed (thank you for those) before and did so effectively with creating the new user account to test with, but it had no effect. I just tried again though, as these files could easily have becone corrupt again if they were being written to when InDesign crashed. Will let you know if that makes any difference. I've also gone through and completely cleaned out the fonts again and once more cleared the font caches. If need be I'll reboot this system into safe mode and try that way.
Best,

When i click on the mozilla icon on the desktop the arrow will spin (VISTA) and will then disappear. Mozilla will not enable or even pop up or anything. I am still looking at the desktop and not mozilla. I lick on the icon many times and nothing ever enables, still stuck looking at the desktop and no Internet. Not to bring up your rival, but IE will open half way and then say not responding and will freeze and i must restart the computer every time. I have to use opera now because IE and Mozilla will not enable and Mozilla wont even pop up or enable or anything...just the desktop and no net. ONCE AGAIN MOZILLA WILL NOT ENABLE, SO I CANNOT GO TO TOOLS OR ANYTHING.
I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

Trouble adding comments using Reader X from enabled comments in Acrobat 9
I am a Technical Writer with Acrobat 9. Regularly I make my documents comment enabled for reader. IT has been updating systems and some of my recipients now have Reader X. Because of the difficulty they have, when they open the commentable PDF they are having trouble adding comments and wind up printing the document, marking up the hard copy, scanning it and emailing it back. What am I doing wrong? Is Reader X not downward compatible? We want to move forward with technology, not backwards.
Right click the document opened in Reader X and then click "Select Tool".
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

Yesterday double clicked home button and all of my apps disappeared; cannot shut off i-pad, and syncing it does not restore apps or enable me to use it again. Help!
See if this fixes things.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

I have photostream turned on and is working on iPhone and iPad, but when I try to turn on photostream in iPhoto on my computer is says it cannot enable it.
It does say that I am logged in under the correct apple ID.
I used to have it working fine earlier. I don't think I have changed anything recently.
Any thoughts on where to start?I just had a related problem which demonstrates how Apple user-friendliness is slipping. I didn't see photo stream album in iphoto 11 (version 9.3.2, which is already confusing--couldn't it be 11.3.2 or something?). So, I went to preferences, saw it wasn't checked and clicked the box to activate it. The check mark appears for a split second but doesn't "stick". No error, just impossibility of checking it. So I look at ICloud system preferences and see that photostream is clicked there. On a whim, I unclicked it, went back to iphoto, and discovered that now I can enable photosharing and the box is clicked (although later when I look again it's unclicked). Who is designing this stuff?
