Why is Photostream grayed out, not available, in iCloud Control Panel?

I have uninstalled iCloud Control Panel, rebooted, reinstalled, several times. Always the same result.

I am beyond sick of this problem!!!  Spent nearly a whole day last week uninstalling, reinstalling, settings, more settings, closing down, opening up yadiyadiya..........Thought Id sorted it - well for one day!!  And here we go again!!!!  As soon as I find an alternative method of posting photos I will discard icloud completely.  Apple help is no help.  I dont want to read any more notes, fixes, information which isnt effective or which Ive already tried.  Its clearly a total sytem failure and I for one am sick of it!!!

  • Photostream checkbox not available in iCloud control panel: Windows 7 PC, 64 bit

    Photostream checkbox in iCloud control panel is not available to be checked. I've uninstalled & reinstalled maybe 4-5x now. Also tried switching from Chrome to Explorer 9 for downloading to see if that might help. Also have deleted everything Apple on my PC, & started from scratch. The very odd thing is, it used to work just fine. At some point within the last 2-3 months, there must have been an update that was installed, and I can no longer access the checkbox on photostream.Tech help could not figure out a solution either.

  • Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

    I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
    The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
    How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

  • I can sign into icloud online but not on the icloud control panel

    Hi,
    I am new to Apple.  I decided to start with an Ipad, and love it.  However, I cannot figure out an issue I am having.  I have Windows 7.  The icloud control panel worked without issue until a few weeks ago.  I have an ipad 3.  I have reset my password a few times, but it doesn't fix the issue.  I have reinstalled the software, and still have the issue.  Any suggestions?

    in that case you need the help of Apple Support.- only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone umbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Playlists grayed out/not available after iTunes transfer

    I recently had Best Buy transfer our old computer files to the new computer including iTunes. I can view my playlists in iTunes but they are grayed out and I can't seem to access them or play them. I do still have my original playlists on my iPod but again, cannot access them on iTunes. Any ideas?

    OK, realized I had not noticed the "downward" arrow next to the Apple TV device. It was displaying the list of playlists on the Apple TV, which of course can't be accessed on the computer and hence are grayed out. I have a long list of playlists, and just had not scrolled far enough down to get to the playlists on the computer. This is potentially confusing, Apple should differentiate these lists a little better.

  • Quad SLI option not available in Nvidia Control Panel after complete reformat

    I had a SSD failure on this new build in Raid 0. Before I RMA'd the HD I went with one HD and was able to get Quad SLI running. Now after going Raid 0 with the new HD I had to reformat and I reloaded the OS and then updated all the drivers. Now I no longer get the option for Quad SLI even though my cards are seen by the device manager and the NCP. I can only go SLI on one card and can dedicate a GPU on the second card to Physx. I used the uninstall feature for each driver last night and then restarted in Safe Mode and used driver sweeper to clean out any remnants.  I then rolled back to an earlier nvidia driver on the 500 series with no luck. I installed Live Update but did not use it except to scan my system. It shows the latest Bios so that has not changed since. I also made sure that I was using the latest Realtek drivers. Any help will be appreciated.
    MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) latest Bios
    Win7 64bit Home Premimum SP1
    2 EVGA GTX 590 Classifieds
    16g 1600 Corsair Vengence
    2 ea SSD 120g Corsair Force GT's Raid 0
    Antec 1200W HC gold PS
    Coolemaster HAF X Case
    Corsair H100 H2O

    NO i was not able to get windows to load. I would have an intermittant SSD failure at diferent points during the installation process. I went to a single drive and it installed fine and after completion I downloaded updated drivers and went into the nvidia control panel and activated quad sli. I did have to remove one of the cards during the SSD install in order to facilitate the installation of the Sata cable into the MB. It is possible that the SLI bridge may have gone bad since it was disturbed. I ordered another one to be sure and it will arrive today. While waiting I switched the video cards in their slots to check them and I also verified that the PCI slots are good. Is there some history of a conflict between Raid 0 and 4 way SLI that I should be aware of?

  • 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.

  • Photostream grayed out on Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi -
    Photostream was working for me from Dec, 2011 - March, 2012. Then, suddenly it stopped working and no photos were getting "pushed" to my Windows 7 64 bit machine from my iPhone. I searched on Google and tried many fixes. One of the fixes was to uninstall/reinstall iCloud. After doing this, Photostream is now grayed (greyed) out on my Windows iCloud control panel. I have tried everything to get it to come back on but nothing works. Please help!

    Well, I've never gotten this to work even with the iOS6 but I did find a solution. I completely uninstalled iCloud from my computer and turned it off on my iPhone. I use Carbonite to back up my Windows computer and now Carbonite has a mobile app that backs up all photos and videos from your iPhone to Carbonite. So, between Gmail which is syncing my mail, contacts, calendars and Carbonite which is backing up my photos and videos, I don't need iCloud. Thank goodness because clearly there is no support for it.
