My Photo Stream is empty with iCloud Control Panel 3.0

I've got iPhone, iPad and PC (Windows 8) in sync with iCloud Control Panel 2 properly before.

Days ago I upgraded to iCloud Control Panel 3.0, Other shared photo streams and iCloud bookmarks are sync perfectly but "My Photo Stream" is not sync on PC anymore. I've cleaned up iCloud Photos sync folder completely and signed in to the iCloud Control Panel again, but "My Photo Stream" is just not sync.

Any idea?

Woo-hooo!! I followed your general instructions for my Windows 10 64-bit pc and it worked!! Basically,


I Ended every open Apple, iCloud, photostream, mobilesync, etc... Process in Task Manager.


Then I found and deleted the %AppData%\Apple Computer\MediaStream folder.


I restarted iCloud and rechecked the boxes I wanted for Photos and VOILA!!


Thank you thank you thank you! I have been trying to fix my Photostream download for a couple years (on and off). I predict I will have to do it again when Windows updates something, but at least now I know how. 🙂

I tried to figure out how to resolve this problem again but strangely My Photo Stream is back when I signed in again.


It's strange this time, I remember that we're required to choose the iCloud Photo folder when we sign out and in again, but it doesn't ask me and configured already.


Stay tuned

The derectory change shall not cause this issue. I upgrade to win8.1 and the CP 3.0 had worked well for more than 1 week. It stopped working 3 days ago and I cannot recover it even I reinstall the CP. It will notify me that there is 1 item with unsupported format that cannot be synced.
