TS3989 Photostream not an option in iCloud in Control Panel on PC

Why would photo stream be grayed out as an option in icloud on my 64 bit sony laptop? I have two sony laptops linked to my itunes, the other is 32 bit, I have an ipad and an iphone.

I will explain a little more about Windows:
If you get the *.jnlp file via Internet Explorer, then the web server must return a MIME type of "application/x-java-jnlp-file" or web start probably will not work (I have not actually tried all possibilites).
IE then looks up (I am pretty sure):
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-java-jnlp-file
Gets: Extension: .jnlp
then
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jnlp
(Default): JNLPFile
Content Type: application/x-java-jnlp-file
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\JNLPFile\Shell\Open\Command
(Default): blah\javaws.exe
It then goes through these few more steps (I do not know the exact order but you get the idea) and launches javaws.exe anyway.
Compare this to the simpler (but private) configuration of:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Viewers
application/x-java-jnlp-file : blah \javaws.exe
They both do the same thing, but Windows abstracts it out so that explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe are using the same information. Some people like it. Some people hat it. I am pretty blah about it, as long as I can understand it somehow and fix it when it breaks.

Ethernet option missing in Appletalk control panel

We recently picked up some Power Mac 5200/LC's to add to our existing Macs. Some of them have OS 7.5 and some have 7.6.1 but they all have ethernet cards. The ones with 7.6.1 have an option in the Appletalk control panel to select ethernet and work fine. The ones with 7.5 have no option for ethernet in the control panel. Do I need to upgrade the OS or is there some sort of driver that needs to be installed? Any ideas?

We recently picked up some Power Mac 5200/LC's to add

control panel to select ethernet and work fine. The
ones with 7.5 have no option for ethernet in the
control panel. Do I need to upgrade the OS or is
there some sort of driver that needs to be installed?
Any ideas?
There are 2 reasons for this:
1. an Ethernet option doesn't show up because there is no ethernet card installed in the Macintosh
2. The card is installed but the Apple Ethernet drivers are not installed into the Extensions folder of the active Start up disk's System Folder.
Solution:
1.Verify that the Mac does infact have an ethernet card.
2. Verify that the Apple Ethernet drivers are installed.
these items should be inside the Extensions folder:
AppleTalk version 58.1.5
Apple Built-In Ethernet driver file version 1.0.1
Apple Ethernet NB driver file version 1.0.1
Apple Ethernet LC driver file version 1.0.1
Apple Ethernet CS driver file version 1.0.1
note; the LC driver for and LC Mac
NB is for Nubus Macs and CS is for the CS line of Macs.
Mac OS System 7.5 does not install all the drivers neccessary for every Mac to use an Ethernet card, Download and install "Network Software Access" here Downloads
or upr grade to Mac OS 7.5.3.
Open Startup Disk>Apple Extras>Network Software Selector. Be sure Open Transport is on and if you are using a router upgrade to OT 1.2.2 or later as 1.0 is not fully supported with all routers.
If the Ethernet card is not physically installed in the Mac when the Mac OS System Software is installed, then the installer will not bother installing the Ethernet drivers on an "Easy Install". With a Custom Install you can select these drivers or alternatively add the card then re-install Mac OS 7.5. and upgrade all the way to 7.5.5*
*Requires extensive downloading but is free from Apple's older download site

My photostream is not automatically updating to the picture library of my windows laptop.

Hi,
Try installing the windows 8.1 drivers from HP's support site, those are more likely to work.
For any issues clarify your OS version, is it 32 or 64 bit?

Hdmi output not found under playback in the control panel

I am trying to get sound to go through my tv with my HDMI cable. I looked in the control panel under sound - playback. I do not see the option of the hdmi output. I have right clicked on the speaker and clicked disabled and it still does not come up.
I have idt high definition audio codec driver on my computer. Is it compatible?
I have also tried to connect an rca cable to the headphone jack and hook it to the tv like that and sound still didn't work?
Do you have any suggestions?

Hi again tfinley,
It is good to hear back from you!
Since you have updated all of the original drivers on your system, and your notebook still does not display an HDMI audio option, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point when this option was available. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

OS X not showing up in boot camp control panel

Hi, I am using mac book pro with OS X mavericks. Recently I installed windows 8.1 with boot camp assistant. It was all running fine. I partitioned my windows 8.1 drive to a new volume. When I did this,my OS X disappeared in bootcamp control panel. It not showing up in the list of OS's when we boot the machine. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are not seeing the OS X partition while holding down the option/alt key during a restart, it appears your Boot Camp installation damaged the OS X partition, which is probably why it is not showing up in the Boot Camp control panel.
Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then select the Macintosh HD partition and re-install the OS.

OSX not listed in Vista Boot Camp Control Panel as a Startup Disk

When I go to the Boot Camp Control Panel in Vista, OSX is not listed as a startup disk option, only Windows is. Also if I right click the Boot Camp icon in the tray and choose "Restart in MAC OS X" that does not work.
Vista Ultimate is installed on a separate physical disk on my Mac Pro. In OS X both operating systems show up as target disks. Both show up as an option when I hold the option key when rebooting.
AppleCare had me re-install BootCamp in vista from the OSX cd and then run the Apple Check for Updates program (none found). This had no effect.
So this mainly just an inconvenience. This inconvenience prevents me from using non apple keyboards as they don't have an option key or enable be to program the keyboard to the same. And since I have some minor apple blue tooth keyboard/mouse problems under Vista, I would like to be able to use another keyboard/mouse.

I have the same problem not seeing OS X as a startup or restart option in Boot Camp. I'm using Vista 64 in Boot Camp on a 2008 Mac Pro.

ICloud Windows Control Panel setup failure

When I try to run the Windows iCloud Control Panel to set up iCloud on my Windows 7 laptop, I get the following message.   "Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding".   I was able to get it installed on a Windows Vista desktop. The Internet connection is good so that is not the issue. Any ideas?

I just did some other fiddling around and found that there MAYBE some odd interactions with other OUTLOOK Add-ins.     I noted that LinkedIN has an add it connected to >my< contacts.    Some time ago, I recall something similar with Facebook ( but I long ago killed that off)
I found the same "... server stopped working... "   error. Drove me crazy to diagnose.
Next I told it to be selective about what to synch, not just do everything. Menu on icloud popped up showing me "do you want LinkedIN connections.... or the Outlook"    Unchecked the "LinkedIN"     All ran fine with just the OUTLOOK selection !!   Wow....
Ok, still gets a little tricky...     You will now find that outlook has a contact subfolder called iCloud contacts. ( pardon if that is the wrong terminology..)   That outlook-iCloud now contains all the real outlook contacts that used to reside in the "My Contacts >> Contact " folder.
Now all syncs fine, without error, with this newer " iCloud > Contacts"    folder.
Pardon if this fix sounds confusing. :-)   It is... since I am not a super-techie type to explain properly.
At the end of the day, I am strongly suspecting that all these add in's begin to confuse the various programmers who try to make interfaces with outlook.     They may work individually ( as they are all in a final release version )   but adding layer upon layer of different add ins might be confusing some other add in's.
If I am on to something here, then makes perfect sense to me that the Apple Support are confused too    How would they know about all the interations for stuff like    my Outlook Business Contact manager ( which I am actually now having issue ),   the iCloud interface to Oulook, the LInkedIN interface to Oulook.... then, perhaps once was a Facebook add in interface too?
For all you who had unresolved issues, check out my idea and repost your findings too.    Check out this angle.
Cheers
Tom

Websites that use java are not working. In the Java control panel, under advanced, default java for browsers "mozilla family" won't stay clicked

I've recently gotten a new Windows 8 computer. Ever since, I've tried accessing certain websites (like www.cnet.com) and can't get the java scripts to load like for the drop down menus. When I hover over them they don't do anything. Other computers I have that run Windows 7 are working just fine.
I've upgraded Firefox and Java to all of the newest versions but it's still not working. When I go to the Java control panel, under "Advanced" and under "Default Java for browsers", the check box next to "Mozilla family" won't stay checked. I'll check it, click "Apply" and "Ok" and then when I open it back up it's unchecked again.
Help.

How to uninstall manually Adobe Reader XI in a corrupted install and not being able to uninstall from control panel

It seems that Adobe Reader X1(11.0.0.9) installed and the installation was corrupted. It now opens up the Windows help center automatically. Booting the computer in safe mode and trying to unistall in the control panel, I get the Windows Installer Servicee could not be accessed. I am able to uninstall other programs with no problem.
can someone help?

One way is to download again and install, then uninstall. That sometimes resolves the issue. To clear the registry of Acrobat and Reader (this is the Acrobat forum by the way, Reader is another forum), use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.

Menu Bar Icons no longer showing, not able to switch on in control panel

I had sleep problems with my MBP (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2449728&tstart=0) and as such I did a combo update as this could possibly solve it.
However, now all the control panel icons in the menu bar have gone (like the clock, network, airport, etc) and I am not able to switch them on in the relevant control panels. If I hit the tick box 'show in menu bar' of any control panel it ticks it for a split second and immediately removes the tick.
I am able to turn it on via /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/, however after a restart all is back to previous state, no icons in menu bar.
I redid the combo update > no success.
any ideas?

I did that and all is well in the other account.
in a moment of inspiration, I reinstalled the
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
from a backup and this solved the Menu Bar issue.
Thanks for thinking with me.

TS3989 Photostream not working on my PC

Since U/G to IOS 6, Photo Stream quit working on my PC.
Stats: O/S Win 7 x 64: I have re-installed the icloud App and it shows in my Quick Launch area: When I launch it - it shows Mail/Contacts as checked but NO CHECK by Photo Stream and the Options (next to PS is grayed out) I check the box and then the Options Button becomes available but when I click on it nothing happens.
I click on apply and close but I still do not see any images in Favorites. What do I have to do to get PS working on my PC again ???
Thanks

Apple Support has just informed me that there are bugs in iOS6 concerning iCloud. They assured me they are working them out and that updates will be available. No photo-streaming with a PC for now! If you have any luck please inform!
