Q: My Photo Stream is empty with iCloud Control Panel 3.0

Dec 1, 2013 6:21 PMby rs248,Thanks. Your two simple posts solved everything. Been reading the boards for several hours and looking for simple solution that made sense and yours was that. I also had minor problems (windows 7 pc) with photostream until I downloaded 3.0 and it stopped working completely. It seems that the previous folders that had been created for uploads and downloads were not recognized by the new version. So signing out and accepting the default folders when I signed back in worked perfectly and photostream works now in both directions without any hitch. Initially the shared folders were not there, but your second post solved that very simply. As soon as I turned off the two processes in task manager and closed and reopened the icloud.exe, they appeared and loaded all my shared photos.

Dec 3, 2013 1:52 PMby jcrateg,for me it was a bit different on my PC with Windows 7, as I was unable to even select Photos, greyed out. I tried all the fixes here and didnt work for me, so I just uninstalled 3.0, reboot, reinstall 2.0 and everything works again.
3.0 with Photos greyed out so I can not select it.
2.0 all working fine.

Dec 8, 2013 1:36 PMby AlexDG83,I had the same problem we are sharing here, so.... I fully restored my Win7 laptop, then first I installed iCloud Control Panel, but I found that when I change the "iCloud Photos" default location, "My Photo Stream" update totally stops working. Automatic "My Photo Stream" updates properly work only when "iCloud Photos" default location (C:\Users\[username]\Pictures\iCloud Photos) has been restored.
Dear Apple please don't be like Microsoft.... please fix it ASAP!
thx
Ale

Dec 12, 2013 8:30 AMby Alex Ieong,Everybody here needs to reset iCloud Photo Sync regularly before Apple gives us a final fix. Here's the script for you all. Just save the following lines as "Reset-iCloudPhotoSync.cmd" on your desktop. When the bug comes again, right-click and run as administrator:
TaskKill /F /IM ApplePhotoStreams.exe /T
TaskKill /F /IM ApplePhotoStreamsDownloader.exe /T
RMDIR /S /Q "%AppData%\Apple Computer\MediaStream"
"%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Apple\Internet Services\iCloud.exe"
