Lost iCloud icon

Good Morning,
Although I can still access my iCloud account if I go to www.iCloud.com I just realized that the iCloud icon is missing. Its not under system preferences (network/internet) and I am unable to locate it in the 'Finder'. Its more convenient to have. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
Thank you!
Mattie

Hello,
iCloudrequires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or higher.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
I see on your Tag you are running Mac OS X 10.5.8
You would need to upgrade your Mac OS X, provided your MacBook meet these requirments;
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended

Lost iCloud icon on iPad

Can't find iCloud icon on iPad. Can I re download app?

You don't get a separate iCloud icon on the iPad, if an app that you want to re-download is still in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
Similarly you may be able to re-download music, films and tv shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
There is also a Settings > iCloud option if your iPad is on iOS 5+

Hey warren1!
You may want to check to make sure you have the iCloud Control Panel for Windows installed on your computer:
iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
If it is installed, but is an older version or is having issues, you may want to uninstall the program, then reinstall the latest version.Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Would someone please help me find my misplace iCloud Icons?

I seem to have lost the ones for my mac and my iPhone. I did not set up iCloud as soon as was offered and so probably took them off to avoid confusion. Now I'm confused. Thanks in advance.

iCloud icons? Do you mean app icons for iCloud? If so then I don't believe there are any. You configure iCloud in System Preferences on the Mac and in Settings on your iOS devices. You can also go to www.icloud.com to access mail, calendar, etc.

HT204053 i dont have the icloud icon in my system preference on my mac. what do i do?

i am trying to find my pics and photo stream on my icloud on my mac and there is no icon for pictures, i have all of iphones and ipads backed up to the cloud but there isn't a picture icon showing they have been uploaded. I go into system preferences on my mac and there is NO icloud icon. what do i do???

Your signature says you have 10.4.6 (Tiger) - is this correct? (If it isn't please keep your signature up to date to prevent confusion). The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements - if you are indeed running Tiger it's possible that you may not be able to.
If you are rusing an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first to be able to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table , and that no system later than Tiger will run the Classic Environment.

Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
regards john

Hello hotsone,
You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

I have the ICloud icon. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

HT201317 I want but don't have iCloud icon in control panel (internet). I have a MobileMe icon which I can't log into and I'm not sure if it is an old version of the same thing? Clicking on it directs me to a closed website which redirects me to iCloud.

I'm trying to set up photo stream on my PC so that photos automatically download and are saved on my harddrive but I cannot find an iCloud icon in the relevent section of the control panel. I do have a MobileMe icon but cannot log into it with my Apple logins and am not sure if it is the same thing anyway. Any advice how to get photo streaming set up?

Install Vista or Windows 7. You will also need Office 2007 or 2010

How do I find the iCloud icon to add to the dock

How do I find the iCloud icon to add to the dock. I believe this was on the dock when I first had the computer.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iCloud is not an application, so it does not appear on the Dock or Applications folder. Instead, you can manage iCloud settings in System Preferences > iCloud.
iCloud only appears as an application in Windows because of iCloud Control Panel

I have just bought an ipad mini with ret.display, I wish to link up my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8 system) to iCloud. In system preferences there is no iCloud icon to select. How do I get my MacBook updated to accept iCloud.

I have just bought an ipad mini with ret.display, I wish to link up my MacBook Pro to icloud with my ipad, but my MacBook doesnt have an icloud icon in system preferences. How do I upgrade my MacBook to accept iCloud link.

See -> Mavericks System Requirements.
Most of us are running Mavericks with no problems - others seem to be having various problems (if you check out the Mavericks forum). But I would recommend that you have a current backup whichever way you go.

HT5330 My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared from my system preferences and was reverted back to mobileme which of course no longer functions and I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared by my system and reverted to mobile me which of course is no longer available. Any ideas on what to do?

You'll actually need to order a snow leopard DVD first. Then you can download mountain lion via the app store. Confirm you meet the requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If you dont, you might be able to get lion instead. That's an order over the phone, to get a redemption code.
And make sure you're actually contacting apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
You'll also want to confirm your 3rd party apps are compatible before an OS upgrade. Of course, you'll also want to backup your data.

The icloud icon is no longer showing up in my system preferences and I can't access it

I can't get to my desktop on my network and thought it might be a problem with the icloud. So I went to system preferences and the icloud icon is no longer there, although the mobile me icon IS showing... so, I don't know what's wrong!

Thanks, I guess I'm confused, because it WAS showing up on my ipad. My main problem is that my Mac desktop icon is no longer showing up on my home network and I cn't acess it from my laptop (share screen)... although I was able to access my desktop a few days ago. Can you help me with that? Thanks again!

How do I retrieve lost Bookmark icons most of which disappeared when I updated to Firefox 8?

After I updated to Firefox 8 I noticed that more than half of the itemsin my bookmarks list had lost their icons which were replaced by a dotted line in the shape of a square. I tried to go back to using Firefox 7 using System Restore. The restore was successful except that Firefox could not be opened. So I undid the restore and this allows Firefox to open and all seems ok apart from the fact that the majority of the items in my Bookmark list have disappeared and have been replaced as described. Can anybody help?

Hi everyone. At issue is that FF8, obviously due to a coding bug, no longer is retrieving the favicon from the root of a website's www directory website in some situations. I tried starting FF8 with all add-ons disabled, just to verify that an add-on wasn't causing the issue. The add-on Check Places will restore the missing favicons, but the favicon will disappear as soon as you visit the bookmarked URL if the favicon was missing after you upgraded to FF8.
Hehe. I am not too thrilled with Mozilla's new rapid development cycle. FF8 is simply a tweaked version of FF7 and as such it should have been a 7X upgrade. But I guess Mozilla wants Firefox to get up to version 10000 before Chrome does. Silly.
