Why is my Photos button grayed out on iCloud control panel - PC

I cannot photo share between my PC, windows 7, and my ipad. I have icloud 3.1 and have gone through the trouble shooting steps. None of which mention what to do if the entire Photos box; including the check box, Photos title and icon and the options box are grayed out and unavailable to check or click on. I have plenty of storage, 14 GB available and my iphone and ipad share correctly. Also my contacts, calenders and tasks as well as bookmarks are working corrently.
Please help!

yes, same here.
i've replied to another thread with this issue, too. other people over there complain about it as well.
wifi signal won't turn on on iphone4s.
i have the same problem, but noone from apple has responded so far or adressed this.
i guess all you can do right now is wait for the next update, which should come in a few days.
it's REALLY frustrating...!

  • Photostream Greyed out in Icloud Control Panel v.3

    I was using without error Icloud Control panel v3. on my Windows 7 PC.
    Having upgraded to IOS 7 on the phone,  Itunes 11.1 on PC and Icloud Control Panel 3.0
    I now have Photos greyed out. This was working on the previous version.
    Having signed in / out this has not made any difference.

    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!

  • Why is the zoom button grayed out when I scan

    Operating system: Windows 7
    Software: Adobe Elements CS2
    Scanner Cannon 9000f
    When I scan a single image the zoom button is grayed out, but when I scan multiple images it is activated.  How do I activate it for a single scan.  I have selected the item to complete the scan and it is still grayed out.
    Thanks for your help.  Jim

    The person has to have an apple device and also has to be registered with iMessage, otherwise of you try to message them their name will turn red with a ! Next to the name saying they are not a registered use of iMessage.
    If your clicking on the name and typing in the box that pops up, you may be typing in the "subject" area. The iMessage has two sections to type in, the subject and content are. The bottom portion is the content area so if you have a message already started then use this area.
    The "subject" portion can be turned off also in Settings, messages
    It gives the option to turn off the subject portion here

  • Why are all of the toolbar buttons (like the photo button) grayed out in my project?

    How can I get to the pictures in my iphoto library if this button doesn't work? imovie11 9.0.8

    I'm assuming you are working on a Trailer in iMovie (not a standard project). Unfortunately, the templates accept video only - not photos or stills. That's why the Photo Browser is greyed out when you are working with Trailers.
    A way around this is to convert the Trailer to a standard project. Then you will be able to add photos/stills, and perform other edits as desired.
    To convert the Trailer, select "File > Convert to Project" from the menu. Before doing this, it's best to duplicate the Trailer so that all your original edits are intact in the Trailer format. To duplicate, while in Project Library view, click on the Trailer name then select "File > Duplicate Project" from the menu. Use the duplicate to do the conversion.
    Duplicating won't use up much extra space on the hard drive. Projects reference the clips in the associated Event (or Events) - the clips are not copied. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, voiceovers, music, edits you've made and so forth - these are text based and use little space.

  • My iPhone doesn't show the PhotoStream photos what I uploaded with iCloud Control Panel on my PC. Why?

    I just copied some pictures to the "C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads folder and I opened the Photos on my iPhone but the PhotoStream is fully empty. I can see the uploaded photos in the My Photo Stream folder but not on my iPhone. Why?

    Have you ensured that PhotoStream is on in the iCloud Settings in your iPhone?
    Make sure you're connected to WiFi with a good connection.
    Make sure you have at least 20% battery life on your phone. PhotoStream will not work unless you have at least 20% battery.
    Try turning your phone off and then turning it back on again.

You can go to Save file as but why is the Save button grayed out? I have ran updates and even removed it again and reinstalled still the Save button is grayed out?

    I have posted a fix that works for two issues:
    You can't sign onto iCloud Control Panel;  just hangs with a spinning progress wheel forever..
    You CAN sign onto iCloud Control Panel, but things like photostream are greyed out
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811063?tstart=30
    If you have iCloud control panel open, close it. Make sure its not even minimized on your system tray.
    Copy this path to your clipboard: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
    Goto 'start -> run' (or click 'windows+r' hotkey)
    Paste the path in the run box and hit enter
    From the folder that is opened, rename 'MobileMeAccounts.plist' out of the way (or you can delete it if want..)
    Restart iCloud control panel and try logging on again. MobileMeAccounts.plist is regenerated the next time you sign out from control panel.
    Apparently MobileMeAccounts.plist is getting screwed up in a couple different ways and prevents this from working correctly.  After you log on control panel again, photostream will not be greyed out.  You will have to reselect your custom path you want to store your pictures unless you just wanted to stick with the default path control panel is set to.
