Windows 7 -- Can't view contents of iCloud Photos folders.

On a Windows 7 (x64) PC when opening iCloud Photos from Favorites in Windows Explorer, the individual subfolders open to a blank page.
Syncing works fine, thumbnails show in folders (My Photo Stream, Activity, and any folders I've created). Right-Clicking on a 'folder' and selecting "open folder location" works properly.  Double-Clicking on a folder shows a blank pane.  No problem on another Windows 7 computer.  Suspect some Windows setting is preventing this from working properly.  [iCloud 4.0]

That's correct.
Other possibilities include:
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Depending on the site your uploading to PictureSync might also help.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

    Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.

  • Windows instructions for "View or change iCloud account information"

    Your Windows instructions for "View or change your iCloud account information" say
    Choose Start Menu > Control Panel > Network and Internet, then click iCloud.
    My computer runs Windows 7 64-bit. In CONTROL PANEL my option is "Network and Sharing Center." There is no "Network and internet" option. HELP

    This solution worked for me. Thanks randers4.

    Re: My iCloud account is different to my email account how can I change my iCloud account 
    Mar 18, 2014 7:47 AM (in response to Dwmms)
    If the old ID is you ID and an earlier version of your current ID, go tohttps://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back tohttps://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can not view contents of variable in debug mode (version 1.1.1.5.0)

    Hi
    I am running on WebLogic 11R1 and using OEPE 1.1.1.5.0.
    When Fast swap is enabled and I run WebLogic in debug mode using OEPE I can not view the contents of variables with the Eclipse debugger. I get the message "Expressions must contain either an expression or a block containing a well formed statement"
    However, if I disable Fast swap, i can view the variable within the Eclipse debugger
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Regards
    Steve H

    Small correction... the soon-to-be-released version of WebLogic Server that Danny was referring to is 11gR1 PatchSet 2 or 10.3.3.

  • How to view my own iCloud photos on the iPhone

    I have taken lots of photos (and videos) directly from my iPhone (6.0 with 8.1.1) and now I am unable to see them. They all exist in both iPhoto on my mac and iCloud Photos - I can see them and play the videos.
    On my iPhone it shows a placement of my photo and then when i click on the photo itself, it show an icon at the lower right that resembles a download button. However it never goes past the 25% mark.....even after several hours.
    I have 2 screen shots attached. Does any one have any suggestions on how to remedy this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Melissa

    Greetings anandhi108,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Photos app on your iPhone. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • Can't view a jpg.html photo

    my sister send me via email (cox.net) an old family picture. when i attempt to open it, all i see on the screen is rows and rows of numbers, letters, and funky symbols. what gives and how can i view this picture? thanks for all your help!

    or if the photo has two extensions, like mypic.jpg.html, erase the html part (which shouldn't be there for a jpg anyway).
    EDIT However, it sounds to me like maybe your sister or her email provider made a mistake somewhere. HTML should never be attached as a suffix to just a photo. Oh wait, is this HTML mail? Then it should display correctly in mail.app. How are you opening it?

  • IPhoto 11 how can I view original and edited photo

    I am new to imac and have been editing photos with iphoto 11. After editing a photo I can see the edited photo, but how can I view the original?
    Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
    Thanks

    If you want to see the original image then hold the shift key when in edit mode.
    Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
    Not exactly sure what you mean by that... with iPhoto 11, when you edit a pic nothing on the original pic is changed, and all your editing decisions are recorded in the database. Next time you view the image these decisions are applied to the image as you view it. So, iPhoto records the edit history. Subsequent edits work on the aggregrate history, or you can revert to the original and start over.
    If you want to have multiple versions (say, one in in  B&W, one in Sepia) then you need to duplicate the image.
    Note that the versions are all virtual, based on the Master. Deleting the master will also delete the versions.

  • Can't view successfully downloaded .jpg photos

    I just successfully downloaded 180 jpg photos from my Olympus Camedia D-560 into iPhoto 6 on my new iBookG4. All of the photos show up in the small preview mode in the Library but when I try to double click on any of the photos to see a larger view of it, it takes me to the edit mode and shows the photo for a fraction of a second and then it disappears and an exclamation point with a large square around it appears. There is no view of the photo.
    I've tried to view the photos in the slideshow as well and it just shows a blank screen.
    Any suggestions?
    iBookG4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi, ChrisBKLYN. Can you view the photos if you dig into your iPhoto Library folder (go into "Originals") using the Finder? Be careful not to move anything around though.
    You are seeing the small images because iPhoto creates those separately when importing. It looks like something changed on iPhoto after importing. Do you use any special settings, like don't copy images to library (Advanced panel of the preferences) or anything?
    Another thing you can do is get info on any .jpg file and set the Open with to "Preview" application. Then click Change All.. even if it was Preview in the first place.

  • Can I back up my iCloud photos to a Scandisk Memory Vault?

    I need a lot of photos with my job. My 15GB icloud is mostly photos and I need to organize and print some but don't want to down load onto my desk top hard drive. I have a Scandisk  Memory Vault and want to store all my iphone photo's on it.
    Can I create an iCloud backup of just my photo's and copy it to the Memory Vault?
    Thanks

    Correct.
    How can I get the other 3,000? Can I save it from iCloud to Scandisk
    No.
    They are not in iCloud (except in your backup). Only the last 1,000 photos are in iCloud Photo Stream.
    The other 3,000 are on your iPhone.
    Copy them from iPhone to wherever.

  • Can I share content from iCloud with other users

    I want to share photos with others from I cloud

    Sure.  Create a shared stream, add the photos you want to share and invite the people you want to share them with.  Read this section on iCloud photo sharing: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm218e61076c

  • Can you view history on icloud if your devise is stolen

    My ipdad was stolen and the locate IPAD setting was no switched on. WHen I try to locate it says offline. I've also noted it as lost/stolen.
    I got a new iphone and downloaded icloud and found a bunch of photos from random people I didn't know in there with an email address pre-fixed to the facebook app. I have tried to email but with no response.
    Just wondering if there is a way you can view history or a way you can get more infomration to find this person??

    iCloud doesn't maintain any "history" for the data beyond what you can see in the apps you are sycing in iCloud.

  • How can I view content that I've archived on the iPad Adobe Content Viewer?

    Sorry, I'm new to the DPS process. I tapped "Archive" in the Adobe Content Viewer thinking that I would be able to retrieve it from the archive. I haven't been able to find that capability yet! I've tried renaming the document in InDesign and updating, thinking the project would appear in the content viewer. Again, no dice. I even deleted the content viewer from the iPad and reinstalled. Logged out, logged in. No dice. I cannot seem to have any luck seeing my project again. It was displaying just fine earlier today. Damn curiosity! Why did I tap on the archive button? Any help would be much appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Dave

    I guess what I was asking is when you tap Archive in the Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad there is a pop-up that says "Are you sure you want to Archive?" and "This item will be removed from your device. You may download it again at anytime for free." But there is no option to do this within the iPad app! At least none that I can see.
    I ended up creating a new folio with the same articles. It works now, but the archive function is not intuitive! It should work the same as when you archive magazines in the Newstand app. I mean, that's how people expect it to work. I guess in Adobe speak archive = delete!
    Anyway, if you archive something it removes it from the app and you will not see a download button.
    Thanks!
