in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?
Have had some success with multiple computers running Windows 7, Vista, and Windows Server 2008 doing the following with iCloud Control Panel 3.1 (combination of several different remedies posted in forum):
Sign out of iCloud Control Panel
Open Task Manager and End all Apple iCloud and Photostream processes
Delete the files from the Directory C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mediastream
Open iCloud Control Panel and sign in with apple ID
If Photo option is still greyed out, sign out and sign back in with iCloud email address and password.
This has worked for seven users that I support across several different windows hardware platforms. Good luck!

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

Windows icloud control panel installer error
I control uninstall or repair the Windows Icloud 4.00. I cannot install the update 4.01 either. Any workarounds? Symantec has a utility to completely uninstall their software in Windows. Does Apple have the same?
When trying to install iCloud for Windows in Windows v8.1 64 bit I get the error:
"The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control panel could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To try these operations at a later time, please run the installer again"
I have disable the Anti Virus, removed other Apple apps, re booted the system and have tried the installer several time from several sources. THEY ALL FAIL.
Excerpt from Event Viewer;

Icloud control panel not an option for me now what????
We are running and exchange server XP Pro and Outlook 2003 is all I have at work. I don't have access to Vista or Windows 7 nor outlook 2007 or 2010. All want to do is transfer my yahoo calendars to icloud calendars. From the searches I did I found I had to download the icloud control panel which I can't do becuase of hte software I am forced to run for work.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way (besides opening each yahoo event and switching it on the iphone to an icloud calendar) to transfer my yahoo calendar to an icloud calendar??carrie_dyer wrote:

There is not, Vista or Lion are the minimum requirements, use Yahoo's sync services instead. -
I have a Windows 7 PC and have installed Icloud control panel the latest. I cannot sucessfully login and subscribe to me daughters photos, or my nieces photos. I really could use some help, as I am not an Apple user and I am lost here...................Thankx....
Do you have an iCloud account? If so, did you sign into your account on the iCloud control panel and check Photos, then click Options to confirm that Photo Sharing is turned on?

Back then when we were syncing with MobileME, the control panel allows us to decide what to do when there is a conflit of data in the cloud vs the information on our computer. We were given the option of Replacing information in Me with information on the computer or vice versa, but now we do not have any of these options. And currently when i sync my computer with icloud, i dont know if the information (Contacts, Bookmarks) will be replaced with the current informaiton on the iCloud (transfered from MobileMe) or they will merge (if they merge then i would have double of contacts,bookmarks??) or the information in the iCloud would be replaced?
If we had more options in the control panel of iCloud, then things can be simplier. However, with the current iCloud control panel, we have no way of knowing what happens when there is a conflict and we won't know what action the iCloud would take for the conflict of information.
So currently i still dont know if my Favourites (Bookmarks) will be replaced or not.
Does anyone know if we can wipe out the info on iCloud and replace it with the data (Contacts, bookmark, calendars etc) on our computer?This is what I did...not ideal but seems to work for right now till iCloud actually syncs contacts into Outlook 2010 (PC/Win 7) like Mobile Me used to. I opened the contacts in the iCloud contact address boxes in Outlook. I selected all contacts by selecting one and then Ctrl-A (selects all), then Ctrl-C (copies all). Then I went into the Outlook Contact folder which is blank from iCloud "stealing" all my contacts and in that empty box I hit Ctrl-V to past all contacts in. I am now able to use my contacts when emailing in Outlook.
Of course, any changes I make to my iPhone contact list or via iCloud will only sync back to the iCloud contacts lists in Outlook (and not Outlook's main calendar) so occassionally I'm thinking I'll need to go back and do this all again either figuring out a way to only copy new contacts over, or going into Outlook Contacts and deleting all of those, going back to Outlook iCloud contacts (which are syncing but not communicating with other aspects of Outlook like mail) and then do the process all over (select all, copy, paste).
Seems silly that contacts can't work the same as they did with Mobile Me but it seems like Apple has a tendancy with everything but their actual iDevices to be screwy when things are working and make things more complicated. I was not looking towards this day as I knew there would be some stupid issue as it seems like it always is that way with their new software rollouts. In fact, I use Outlook 2010 through Parrells still cause their Mac version still won't sync even calendars...at least iCloud is still doing that with Outlook 2010 Windows...though still the same issue as Mobile Me that it doesn't sync with the main calendar...but I can still use it and sync well to the iPhone. -
Can't get iCloud Control Panel to work
I've installed, uninstalled, repaired, etc. the iCloud control panel on my Windows Vista Business PC a dozen times. It always does the same thing -- installs fine, launches fine, but when I enter my Apple ID and password, the thing sits and spins indefinitely like it's trying to connect but never does. This goes on for hours if I don't hit cancel. How do I fix???

Do Photos delete from PC in Photo Stream when iCloud Control Panel is deleted
I loaded photos to a PC using the Icloud control panel accidentally. I remember seeing them on the computer, but when I deleted the iCloud control panel (app), they appear to be gone from the computer. Do photos delete when photo stream is not connected or iCloud control panel is removed?
Also...what extension (jpg, jpeg, tiff, etc.) are iphotos usually in so I could search better.Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

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 -
Phototstream is turned on on iPad Air, but 0 photos show up on my iCloud control panel. Any suggestions? I have installed and uninstalled several times and have added icloud and photostream to my allowed list on windows firewall.
Are the photos in your photo stream older than 30 days? If so they won't show up. What worked for me was to log out of icloud on the Windows pc and log back in. Any photos taken within 30 days and less than or equal to 1000 photos should show up.
Photostream has a limit of 30 days or 1000 photos whichever comes first. If you take 2000 pictures today then only the most recent 1000 will show in photo stream. If you only have 20 picture in your photo stream and they are older than 30 days then it won't show in photo stream. -
I am trying to upload photos from my Windows 7 desktop, and was told to go to the iCloud control panel and drag the photos into the
upload to photo stream icon. I have downloaded the contol panel several times and cannot find the icon to get this done. HELPIf 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).

Need help for icloud photo stream, have activated ps on iphone 4 and set up icloud back up for email, contacts, iwork, and find my ihone. Need to find photos that we thought were being saved/shared as well but evidently not. Found on another search that I may need the icloud control panel so tried to download it but when try to install i get, C:\Users\Downloads\icloudsetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application. I am using a Toshiba laptop with windows 7, which the system requirements are met. I am new to Apple stuff, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
It suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
