Q: Photostream - It is not working

Photostream - It is not working.  I get the message " Photos for the iCloud account cannot be accessed.  Review your account information in System Preferences.  I did that and all seems to be OK - but the  Apple ID is my new ME email addy not my original address in iTunes.

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

A:

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.

    Thanks so very much.  It worked perfectly.  I have been trying for 5 weeks to get help with this problem.  No help could be found, and it seems impossible to get help from Apple.  I have been using PC's since their introduction, and was beginning to regret my switch to the Mac. Thanks so very much !!!!
