applephotostream.exe has stopped working [FIX]

I saw a lot of people having the problem of the photostream service crashed and I had the same problem a weeks ago on Windows Vista x64 and I fixed it.

The thing is that I believe ApplePhotoStreams.exe crash because the iCloud storage has an error on the photo storage.

The steps (that I DID) to fix it are the following:


1. Close all your "upload" applications like Dropbox, SkyDrive, iCloud Control Panel (log off), peer to peers, etc.

** on iCloud Control Panel deselect/unmark the option "Photo Stream" and then log out.

2. Once you close all your apps, download the iCloud for Windows http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455, execute and clic on REPAIR.

3. Take your iPhone and plug it to the computer and make a backup on iTunes.

4. Select the option "Wi-Fi Sync on this device" and Apply changes.

5. Connect your iPhone to your Wi-Fi connection, and go to Settings / iCloud / Storage & Backup / clic on "Back Up Now" (I'm assuming that you all guys have the option "Photo Stream: ON") (DO NOT use iTunes to make your iCloud back up, use the iPhone device option)

6. Wait until your backup is done.

7. With this step your iCloud backup and storage will be UPDATED and storaged correctly.

8. Now, open Windows Home / Control Panel / iCloud

9. Log in with your Apple ID

10. Select/mark the option Photo Streaming


11. And that's all, your Apple Stream services (ApplePhotoStream.exe and ApplePhotoStreamDownloader.exe) SHOULD NOT CRASH and should work fine.


I hope this help you guys. Greetins.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
