Can i access iCloud from finder

Is there a way of accessing icloud files from the finder?

The Safari iCloud icon is for iCloud tabs which syncs all of your tabs in Safari between all of your iOS devices and Macs. So basically while you were dragging the iCloud icon into Finder, you were doing nothing. Also iCloud only saves information and files from certain applications such as Reminders, Notes, Messages, Safari, TextEdit, etc. If there are apps that do not natively support iCloud you cannot save their files to iCloud because Apple does not have a feature that can save any file from any app on your Mac. Sorry to tell you this.
Hope this helps,
- Daniel 

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • TS4002 Can't access iCloud from iPhone/iPad

    I cant access my iCloud account from iPhone or iPad, but I CAN access it from both my MacBook and my pc.
    I've updated iTunes, and iOS 5, and each time I go to iCloud.com- it brings me to the page that reads the prompt; "set up iCloud on this device" well, I have followed the directions from the prompt over and over, and I can't seem to be able to access the screen with the prompts; "mail, "calendar," "iWork," and "find your iPhone."
    I've already checked my settings and confirmed my username/pass work are correct
    Any ideas?

    On an iOS device, you cannot go to icloud.com with safari (you can using a computer).  You must use the various apps (like mail, Calendar, Contacts) to access the data the iCloud syncs.

    I am accessing iCloud from my Mac and want to know where to find my iMessages within iCloud.  Can anyone help me out with this?  Thank you so much!

  • I can't access iCloud. Tells me to check settings but when I do I can't find the the problem. Any thoughts please?

    I import photos to iCloud. Tells me to check settings but when I do I can't find the problem.

    I've not experienced this, but a few other people have reported the same.
    I don't know what the issue is, but try changing your DNS server settings to use Google's DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in either your router settings or your computers internet settings.
    (Incidentally, you can't access iCloud.com from an iOS device).

  • HT1766 I deleted some phone records (call numbers, dates) & texts. Can I access them from back-up without restoring the phone.  Don't want to alter what I have, just find what I later deleted

    I deleted some phone records (call numbers, dates) & texts. Can I access  them from back-up without restoring the phone.  Don't want to alter what I have, just find what I later deleted

    Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
    iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
    You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

  • Can't access iCloud mail or contacts from PC

    I can't access my iCloud emails or contacts from my home PC (Windows 7). iCloud.com either returns an error message or else fails to respond at all.
    All other sites I try are behaving normally, so it would appear to be an iCloud problem rather than anything at my end.
    Here is the error message I get from iCloud:
    "Mail could not be loaded
    "There was a problem loading the application due to a possible network error or missing resources. Please try again.
    "Details
    "By clicking 'send to Apple' you agree that Apple will collect and use this information..."
    I have tried this many times. I either get this error message, or else nothing at all happens. All other web sites work fine. I have no other problems with my PC in any application, so this is almost certainly a problem with iCloud. Until it is solved, iCloud is nearly useless to me, as I can only use it from one device, my iPad. On my PC, I reach iCloud by clicking on the link within the iCloud application.
    I would greatly appreciate some help in dealing with this problem in accessing iCloud from my PC. (No Mac-based solutions, please: I don't have one.)

    Today this worked for the first time on my PC, at last. Had just updated iCloud software to version 2.1.2 - could this have affected the operation of the web site on my computer? Seems odd. Anyway, nice that it finally works. Suggest others who have the same problem try this.

    New phone: lost old phone in a fire. How can I access my photos on iCloud from my old phone? In settings I see the storage for BOTH phones. They are separate but same account. Can I access iCloud through PC or is the info now useless since phone is gone?

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • Can not access iCloud drive from iPad

    can not access iCloud drive from iPad

    iOS 8/8.1 does not have an iCloud Drive app (that works like OneDrive or Dropbox, etc..). Instead you have to open the application first (ie. Numbers) which will show you your iCloud drive files that you can open and work with.
    This is the exact reason I am currently migrating all of my documents BACK to OneDrive. If I don't know what the filetype is of a file that I am looking to open (ie. Word document or PDF) then I'm screwed. At least with OneDrive (or DropBox, or Google Drive, etc.) I can browse my files from my mobile device.

  • I can´t access icloud drive from iphone

    There could be a disruption, try waiting a few hours.  Apple has been making changes lately that has interrupted a number of services in certain countries and areas.

  • I'm getting a "can't access icloud" message from all devices.

    I'm getting a "can't access icloud" message from all devices. According to Apple the system isn't down. Any ideas? My password is correct.

    A full reset fixed the problem.

  • Have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop.

    have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop. laptop keeps telling me to purchase pages for iPad (which I've been using on both the iPad and MacBook for months - App store says i have them both too). Both units have current updated systems and apps. Using same apple ID.  Calendar and contacts work fine between both machines.

    Do you have any secondary accounts set up in mail, contacts and calendars.

  • Why can't I access iCloud from Snow Leopard?

    I find it hard to believe that with all the loyalty that I've shown Apple through the years - literally thousands and thousands of dollars that I can't access iCloud through my iMac because it's not compatible with Lion. Is this true? Is there a work-around other than having to buy a newer Mac?

    Your machine (by computer standards) is pretty old so even though it doesn't have the ability to be upgraded to Lion is still capable and can continue to be used for what you originally bought it for. In your case it's time to upgrade computers if you think iCloud is something you really need.
    Why I understand your frustration just about everything moves forward so if you want to stay current you have to too. You can't really get angry with Apple (or any anything else for that matter) for wanting to move forward because old hardware that was never designed for newer software is left behind. My iMac while it's 5 years old still works fine for what I bought it for however I know Mountain Lion may be the limit it can support and I too will be forced to upgrade. Just progress, nothing more and nothing less.

  • How do I access icloud from my computer at work?

    how do I access icloud from my computer at work?

    iCloud does not offer general file storage in the manner of iDisk, only syncing of iWork and Textedit files for access by your iOS devices. In Lion you go to the iWork section of iCloud and drag the files there in the Finder (they sync automatically on iOS); in Mountain Lion you can save directly to iCloud. But you can't store other types of files (other than by the odd workaround).
