TS3988 Can't access photo stream and icloud, despite having the right id/password

I can access icloud online, and on my macbook pro. But for some reason, I can't access my storage preferences (it says: Details not available), nor can I access photo stream. I get an error message that says:
Photos for the iCloud account “[email protected]” cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.
When I click on 'review'
I can also see my storage settings (after inputting my password), and everything is correct and up-to-date. Yet it won't load the storage details.
I also don't want to sign out, because I get messages telling me that everything on my mac will be deleted, and I don't want to lose anything.
What now?
Thanks for your help,
Lutz

Hi there,
When you enter your username/password combination for the first time Firefox will ask you to remember it. Clicking yes will result in FF filling it in for you on your next visit. Please keep in mind that cookies must be enabled in order for this to work.

Photo stream and icloud

I've setup iCloud on my iPhone and new iPad. Seval things are working like the calendar and contacts. But photo stream is not sharing between the two devices. It is turn on in the iCloud settings on both. Any ideas why this is not working? Photos are not going either direction.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
    •    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    •    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    •    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Can't select photo stream and Facebook in iphoto

I don't know why, on the side of iPhoto where we can select the library, we got a section call WEB, where we got our Photo Stream and Facebook account.
I don't know why but I can't select those two facebook account and Photo Stream to see and manage the photos that are in those section. I click on it and nothing happen.
But I can share with the share button at the bottom to those sections
Can someone can tell me why I can't select those sections?
I got iPhoto 9.4 and Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

HT201077 can't get photo stream from icloud to download to my pc

Apple TV, Photo Streaming and iCloud

I just got an Apple TV and am trying to set up Photo Streaming but whenever I try to open it it tells me that the Terms and Conditions of iCloud have changed. System Preferences>iCloud do not show updated Terms. Help?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Unfortunately no-one here knows why  do the things they do and one can only give one's opinion.
Yes you used to be able to stream photos from the primary library but it was rather inconvenient and I suspect the change was made as a result of customer feedback. Also don't forget that photos aren't handled by itunes (unlike everything else), so there will be inherent difficulties in trying the handle the photo content in exactly the same way as all the other content.
I forget how many photos I have on mine but it runs into 000's and only takes up 5GB, which isn't an abhorrent amount of space especially considering audio content id likely the easiest of all content to stream if it becomes necessary.
(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)

Can't Reset Photo Stream in iCloud?

I can't reset photostream in iCloud. When I try I get an error message stating that: "Photostream cannot be reset at this time due to a server error, please try again later." I have been trying for 2 days. Same result. Any ideas?

On your iPhone tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream to off.
Restart your iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Switch PS back on.
Try resetting PS > iCloud: Resetting your Photo Stream

TS3989 I do not see any photos copied to iPad using iPad camera connection kit before PhotoS Stream and iCloud were enabled.

I had no problem importing photos to my iPad using the iPad camera connection kit, but now that they are there, I can not get them back off of my iPad. I have set up an iCloud account and enabled Photo Stream on my iPad, downloaded and installed the iCLoud control pannel for Windows, enabled Photo Stream there, and set the download and upload folders. In my "Photos" on iPad I curently have 3 albums: Camera Roll, All Imported, and a sigle folder with some of the photos included in the "All Imported" folder. If I select Photo Stream, there are no photos present, and the note at the bottom explains that it uploads and stores the last 30 days of photos on iCloud and downloads them to all my devides... except.. I just enabled iCloud, and the pix were imported 6 months ago. I really see no logical way of getting them back off this device. Can anyone help highlight what I have overlooked? Thanks. -njw

Never mind... when all else fails... use a cable. D'Ohhh...

TS3989 how do I get photos from my "camera roll" to photo stream and icloud?

I just set up my i cloud account and can not get my photos over to my pc

This works only for new photos, but you could also create a shared photo stream to share older pictures with someone else. (This shared photo streams will be also displayed on your other iOS devices or on a Mac using iPhoto/Aperture and should also work on a PC)
