Why is my icloud user has a different photo of me?
i was signing in, to the icloud.com and then there's my uncle's photo [i think its should be mine]. another thing: that my uncle's profile ,in my contacts has a [like a empty profile photo]thing after his name. I tried to change my uncle's photo to mine from the [icloud.com] to me but instead it changed my uncle's photo.i think the empty profile avatar thing means its the owner or some thing.sooo please help me try to change this empty profile avatar thing to the right position
More from the original poster
I'll try to explain more clearly.
The photos i have a problem with were taken on someone else's digital camera.
In the Photoshop CS browser, I see a picture of a house.
When i double click it, it opens as a picture of a tree.
If i close it, it is again a picture of a house , but only in the browser.
If I doubleclick the image (house) , which opens as a tree, and "save as", it saves as a tree, and the "saved as" image re-opens as a tree, as you would expect.
SO, I only see the house in the Photoshop browser.
In the Windows Explorer browser, the original picture displays as a tree, not as a house.
If I email the image to myself, it appears as a tree and opens as a tree (so there's no point posting a sample, because you would only see the picture of the tree- you only see the house if you look over my shoulder at the Photoshop CS browser with the unopened picture displayed.
If I insert the image into a Word document, it appears as a tree.
The result is that I cannot use the image of the house, because it is only a house when viewed unopened in the Photoshop CS browser.
So (in the Photoshop browser only) there are two images in each picture, but only one of these is accessible (ie, the tree).
The double picture only occurs in photos from my friend's Canon Digital Ixus 500 camera, so I'm guessing it could be a camera-specific problem. But I sure would like to know what the problem is, and why Photoshop CS seems to be fooled by the weird double picture.

Somehow my MacBookPro iCloud account has a different name and password from my other devices. Even my date of birth is listed incorrectly. I have tried but can't seem to change this info to match up with my other devices. Can someone help?
Thanks
I have a PC (Windows 7)
Not sure when mobile me changed, but it was this weekend that my storage etc. lapsed (I have paid to keep storage with icloud). So i assume this has something to with it stopping. -
TS3999 Why is my icloud calendar has been automatically the colors associated with my calendars.
Yesterday 8/13 evening my iCal started randomly and automatically switching colors assigned to my indvidual calendars. So, my calendar is colored blue and my daughter's is pink. Suddenly my calendar was pink and hers blue and then 5 minutes later it would switch back. It is also affecting my desktop calendar which synchs with iCloud. So, I went to the source and tried to change the colors back at iCloud. I did that and then 2 minutes later while I was watching, the colors switched back. How do I fix this?
Hi,
I have a very similar problem. I use eMclient on a company machine, as I have issues connecting to the iCloud.com website (I enter my login data, but then it says that there is a server error). So I cannot login.
For about one year now I could sync the company Win7 machine to the iCloud calendar with eMclient, even though I faced above problems with the iCloud.com-website - eMclient was my workaround for being able to enter appointments here and syncing them to my iCloud calendar. End of last week I saw that this is not possible anymore. In eMclient I get error messages saying "bad gateway" when trying to sync to the iCloud account.
I read on the internet that Apple applied this 2-step verification, where you now have to generate an extra password for 3rd-party programs you use that interact with the iCloud.
I generated one for eMclient, but still the same.
I also made up a topic in the eMclient support forum. They say that other users have no issue (even not since the 2-step verification). I should check whether I could access https://caldav.icloud.com/. If I try this, I get a "server is not responding" error.
I talked to my admins at the company and they also say that they changed nothing to the restriction settings lately.
I checked the account settings in eMclient like stated here: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients
but everything is setup correctly.
So I have no idea anymore what could be the problem. I have a work-calendar setup there, too, which is working - exactly as you also mention.
Thanks for any advice! -
Why does my iCloud Backup think my 70 photos (no videos) are a 1.7GB backup?
I got a message saying my iCloud backup is not going to fit in my free 5GB. I went into my iCloud backup settings and found the Camera Roll was showing up at 1.7GB. That's fine, I had four videos and like 250 photos. Most of those were already moved into my laptop, so I deleted all the videos and all but 70 photos. But when I check my iCloud backup settings, the Camera Roll still shows up as needing 1.7GB, and the next backup still will not fit.
The Camera Roll is by far the largest item in my backup, and I know if I can get it to accurately measure the space it's taking up, my backup will fit.
Any idea why 70 photos and no videos are showing up as needing 1.7GB for the next backup?An awful lot of people are having this issue and for once the solution is just good old fashioned patience after deleting photos, turning the feed off which will delete the history of the feed, then switch back once that has been done.
Its taken me an hour to realise this lol !

Old icloud backup - has my old photos??
Help!
I had a problem with my first iPhone in April. I took it to the apple store, and they gave me a new one. The guy asked me if I used iCloud and I said I thought so. Next thing I knew I had a new phone, but I lost all my photos! We had trouble connecting to iCloud and couldn't get anything to sync. Now, looking on my iCloud, I can see that there is a backup on there from when I got a new phone, but I've had this new phone for almost 8 months now, and I don't want to lose all my new photos! Can I recover the photos on there somehow? I have been super bummed about losing all those pictures but I figured they were gone and there was nothing I can do.
I appreciate any help! There are some precious photos on there. I would love to have them back.An awful lot of people are having this issue and for once the solution is just good old fashioned patience after deleting photos, turning the feed off which will delete the history of the feed, then switch back once that has been done.

How can I share address lists between two iCloud users
My daughter and I have two different icloud accounts. We are able to share certain calendars, but I would like also to share address lists/groups. Is there a way to do this? I think you could "subscribe" to another Mobile Me user, but how is this done in ICloud?
I do understand that if we have the same Icloud account and Apple ID then they will sync automatically. We don't. I have just separated our accounts (on purpose). Via icloud we can share calendars, but I want to share address lists too. Can address lists be shared (or subscribed to) by two different icloud users with two different Apple IDs?
Anybody know? -
My Mac has a Different Apple ID to my (ex mobileme) iPhone - how do i get them to iCloud sync?
I have just moved my mobileme account to iCloud, and attempted to synchronise my iPhone and Mac - but now both are pointing at different Apple IDs !!! HELP.
Two Apple IDs?
I have long used one Apple Id for iTunes and my App Store purchases, whereas my MobileMe account handled all the synching of data, contacts, calendar etc between my Mac and Phone. I had no idea at all that my MobileMe account was also an Apple ID whenever this was set up... indeed even in System Preferences MobileMe had a separate account login to iTunes or the App Store.
MobileMe to iCloud forced my phone to use my MobileMe account instead of my Apple ID account.
While I have used the same Apple ID used for purchasing across both devices... I didn't get a chance to set up my iPhone with the same AppleId as my mac...the process just decided to use my mobile me account.
MobileMe => iCloud has permanently set up my devices with DIFFERENT Apple Ids. No way to change Apple IDs
So the MobileMe to iCloud sync process has landed my iPhone with my MobileMe account as an Apple ID, whereas my Mac is on my iTunes (payments) Apple ID. It seems there's no way to change the Apple ID on any device - the latest OS updates have removed that possibility.
So iCloud doesnt work at all....!!!
Basically iCloud is syncing absolutely none of my data between my devices... one device points at one account (ex MobileMe) while the other points at my (payments/iTunes) account. I can't change either of them to point at the same one.
And to top it all, one of the iCloud accounts isn't even syncing?
So now what iCloud?the key to happiness is separating the 'itunes' id from the 'everythign else' id.
the 'everything else' id should be (maybe must be) an @me email; make a new one if necessary. it's only used for iCloud.
LEAVE your iTunes id as-was; you do not want to add yet anohter id to your purchases. I even un-did any and all of my old iTunes DRM purchases by burning songs to virtual CDs and ripping back into iTunes for my older multpiple apple ids from the past.
when setting up an iPhone iPad or even mac lion you need to use the @me address, however when DONE setting up initial set-up you must LOG OUT in settings -> store and from iTunes and sign back in with the iTunes user id.
once your iCloud user is the new @me free username (you do not have to EVER use it for email so fret not that it's a 'new email address). you can get all your devices syncing happily.
FYI; you can get ios4 and snow-leopard (probably even leopard) syncing happily through iCloud as well; push may not work, have to hit 'refresh' but i have to do that on my lion mac anyhow so big deal

Can i setup an icloud acount which 3 different users can access?
can i setup an icloud acount which 3 different users can access?
Anyone can access any iCloud account if they know the login and the password. Assuming that you and the others concerned already have iCloud accounts with separate logins you could create a new Apple ID, use it to create a new iCloud account and then everyone would log into it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that its contents would appear alongside the individual 'Primary' accounts. If they don't have their own iCloud accounts they can sign in in System Preferences>iCloud, of course.
You can enable the particular types of data syncing you want to carry out, but be aware that iCloud isn't designed for multi-person use, and basically everyone has full access to the account as if it was their own. -
We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter. How do I fix that?
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS. -
Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.
I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
application and the selection is stored in a config file in
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.
In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
users.
Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A.
SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
they actually get
C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
and user "B" gets
C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
(a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
This was clarified by the following series of comments:
I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 – James

@JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. – Nathan

You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... – James

@JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. – Nathan

Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… – James

How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
but this email is authorized, what to do??

I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
You also may want to go to other places like:
- Settings>iCloud
- Settinge>FaceTime
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID -
