Windows 7 64bit Photostream Problem

I have the same problem. Applephotostreams.exe crashes on startup. I am also running win 7 64 bit.

I have the very same problem on start up with the message ApplePhotoStreams.exe has stopped working; however, I am running Windows Vista in 32-bit mode.

Oddly enough the photos do appear to be syncing, even though the message indicates otherwise.

Same problem. on W7 64bit. Same crash/error message. No photos synced

Same problem here also... W7 64bit...

Same problem. I fixed it by making sure the AppleIDs matched on my device and in the Windows iCloud Control Panel. That fixed the applephotostreams.exe crash and photo downloads started working immediately after I restarted.

I posted how-to steps here for the less technical: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3402898?answerId=16608195022#16608195022

Open up task manager and check to see if a process called "applephotostreams.exe" is running. If it is not running go to the folder where the executable is and manually start it. It should be located at

C:\Program files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services\ApplePhotoStreams.exe then check in task manager again to make sure it is running then you should be able to start up icloud with no error message

I too have this problem. Windows displays th following problem details:

Please help Apple! I thought your software was reliable...

Same here, and I fixed it with uninstall eye-fi and evernote.

some kind of share apprications are seems to conflict or something...

I am on Windows 7 64bit and i fixed the problem by uninstalling iCloud followed by a rebooted.

I then used Apple's updater tool to re-install iCloud followed by another rebooted.

I then went to iCloud in Control Panel and signed in with my Apple ID and rebooted.

After rebooting a third time I did not receive any errors or Windows telling me that ApplePhotoStream.exe has stopped working. I hope this helps.

@AlGorge

Are you running Evernote or Eye-Fi?

I am experiencing the same problem as the rest here, I'm also running Evernote and Eye-fi, if these Apps are the problem then I'd rather just manually sync photos and keep these programs running as they are.

I do not. Sorry I cannot be of any more help. Dropbox is the only other syncing service I subscribe too.

After a reasent update to iCloud software i was hoping for improvments. But now, instead of a greating from one program that refuses to start

I also get this

I actually do not know if this has anything with iCloud software to do but I saw it the forst time just after updating iCloud (to 1.1). Running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit...

Apple release iTunes 10.6.1 yesterday so you could upgrade and see if that fixes it or you could go the drastic route of uninstalling everything Apple and starting again.

1. Sign out of iCloud in Control Panel

2. Navigate to Programs and Features in Control Panel and uninstall all programs that are published by Apple.

3. Delete all Apple folders that were not removed at the time of uninstallation.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Apple

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Apple Computer

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer

(REMEMBER to keep 'Bookmarks.plist') You will want to copy it back after re-installing Safari

4. Reboot

5. Install iTunes, then reboot

6. Install Safari,

copy Bookmarks.plist in to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Safari, then reboot

7. Install iCloud don't sign in, then reboot

8. Sign in to iCloud then reboot

I cannot promise this will fix your problem but it is something to think about.
