I have been trying to enable Photo Stream to review my recent photos on my iPod touch. Every time I select "Enable Photo Stream" from within iPhoto preferences, I get a problem report that "PhotoStreamAgent quit unexpectedly"
I got this on my early 2007 MBP, and the same now on my iMac.
The report text is hundreds of lines long.
I am finding miles-long postings in Apple Support Communities
Below are the first dozen lines of my report.
Thank you all for any help.

Dan and crew,
My original question was, "...automatically say something like, "Hello from Steve"?"
My intent is to develop a series of much more complex templates in subject and content for a woman whose 85 year old husband fell down and cracked his head open 8 weeks ago. He's STILL in a rehab facility and you can imagine how many hours a day she's there, too.
She's needs help in any way possible so asked me to do this. I have no prior experience with templates or automator but I said yes.
Now I shouldn't need to tell the entire back story to avoid being peppered with insults from the likes of Saklad and Neumann.
So for those of you who first thought to offer help, thank you. The end result of this labor will be a small slice of relief for a woman who's main job went from running her own business to tending to her ailing spouse.
With profound thanks,
Steve B.

Well said and well done, Steve! Without that 'back story' in hand,
though, I think Dane Robison's advice was right on.

Hmm. That could actually be a fun project.
I think (hope?) I speak for others here when I ask if you can share more details. There are often lots of different ways to skin a cat, and sometimes a combination of techniques is required. I'm no rocket scientist, but I'll bet the more details you give us, the more imaginative solutions you'll see come your way.

You have already been asked by moderators to cease personal attacks.
At this point, I think you need to go on moderation.
That is NOT an insult. I do NOT feel, for example, that you need to be unsubscribed....

Hi everyone,
Did any of you ever try to strip digital rights management (DRM) from
films and TV shows bought on iTunes with Handbrake, then to burn the
content into DVD?
I just bought Mad Men Season 5. While I'll be happy to watch it, I'd
prefer doing so on the comfort of my television set from the couch,
instead of having to use the computer or a mobile device.
I'm currently downloading the season and I just wondered if any of you
had a positive experience re-encoding such files.

Haven't used Handbrake on an iTunes movie file, only movie DVD's, so I'll be interested in the responses. Thanks for the question. jr

If you are going to expect/require any flexibility as far as drives are
concerned, here is the business model to follow:
1- Have a Solid State Drive (SSD) inside the computer to run the system.
Make sure that it is big enough to handle system upgrades for years to
come. Its speed will please you.
2- Everything else should be on an external drive, either FireWire or
USB. This gives you full control of your data, no matter what Apple does.
Then, pray that Apple doesn't move away from all connectivity such as
USB and FireWire ;-)

Seems unlikely the the "authorized" repair shop will disappear. This won't apply to machines that Apple designs to be disposable, which could be coming, but making a machine "hard" to repair is mostly an issue for home repairs, not professional shops.
