can i get icloud to work on OS X 10.6.8?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
iCloud isn't compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8. However, if you have created an iCloud account on a different computer or device, you can use some iCloud services on 10.6.8 > http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL-m.html
If you haven't got an iCloud account, upgrade to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion to use iCloud on the Mac

I can't get icloud to work on my computer not sure how to create an icloud account

Hi there, can anyone help me with this? I have been trying all day to get icloud to work on my computer. I have successfully downloaded it on to my laptop. I am having trouble creating an iCloud ACCOUNT as it won't let me sign in with my Apple ID until I have created an iCloud account and there are no instructions on HOW this is done, unless I am overlooking something. I have a 3rd Generation iPod Touch 16GB, which should be able to link up with icloud, but I am getting nowhere fast and getting frustrated with all the stonewalling. PLEASE HELP ME.

HT5372 can't get iCloud tabs working on my Mac

How do I get iCloud tabs working again on my Mac. For whatever reason, they aren't showing up.

Have you tried everything in the document you came from
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs ?
The only other reaon I can think o,f that may be preventing the iCloud tabs from showing on your Mac may be, that you enabled "Private Browsing". Is that turned on in the Safari menu?

How can I get iCloud to work on my IMac?

I have an IMac, iPhone and now a MacBook. I have iCloud working on my MacBook and iPhone. How can I get it to work on my iMac 27" Both computers have Lion for the OS. Blessings...

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Can't get iCloud to work on my Mac

I am trying to get iCloud on my Mac and iPhone so I can sync documents, photos, etc. But I can't seem to get iCloud on my Mac to work. Example: there's no option to save in iCloud on Pages. I have OS 10.7.5, and Pages 4.3; my wife has OS 10.8.5 and Pages 4.3, but she CAN save things to iCloud. Any ideas?

For sharing documents and sharing photos via My Photo Stream with your Mac you'll need 10.7.5 at a minimum which you apparently have. So you should be able to do the same as your wife.
Documents in the Cloud
iOS 5
iWork for iOS (Pages 1.5, Numbers 1.5, Keynote 1.5)
OS X v10.7.5
iWork ’09 (Pages 4.2, Numbers 2.2, Keynote 5.2)
My Photo Stream
iOS 5.1
OS X v10.7.5
iPhoto ’11 (9.2.2)
or Aperture 3.2.3
For more information on what system you need to be running in order to utilize the various iCloud features see this Apple document: System requirements for iCloud.
Have you tried logging out of iCloud and then back in in the System preferences? However, your best bet would be to do as Csound1 suggested, upgrade to 10.8.5, so you have parity with your wife's Mac.

Can't get iCloud to work properly from new MBP.

I recently bought a new MBP and gave my old one to my wife. I deleted the calendar and contact info from my old MBP since she didn't need it. Only I didn't realize that it would also delete all the information from my new MBP that I had initialized from a Time Machine back-up.
But now, I can't get thinks back to normal. I had recently upgraded my old MBP to Mavericks, so I posted my questions there on the assumption that the problem was with Mavericks. I now think the problem is with iCloud, so I'm posting here as well.
Here's my tale of woe ...
First, I tried restoring my back-ups, but the restored info would literally disappear with 2-3 seconds of being reloaded. I sat there and watched my contacts appear, then disappear. Three times. The Mavericks folks made some suggestions about deleting files from the Application Support Folder. No help. Same results. Watched my contacts load and then disappear 3 more times.
So I decided to start more-or-less from scratch. I deleted my iCloud account from both my MBP and my iPad. I then reloaded my calendar and my contacts from the back-ups on my MBP. Everything fine so far. All calendar items are there. All contacts are there.
I re-added the iCloud account on my MBP. Still okay. Contacts and calendar info still there. However, System Preferences would not allow me to check the box next to "calendar." It said "setting up" then stopped and unchecked the Calendar box. I am also unable to enable the iCloud account within Calendar preferences.
I re-added my account on my iPad. No calendar info, but that didn't surprise me because the calendar wouldn't connect from my Mac.
But the Contacts on the iPad included ONLY those contacts that I had added from the previous recipients window after my last back-up. None of the contacts that had come from my previous back-up were there even though they were on my MBP. So I tried unchecking the box in System Preferences. All of my contacts disappeared from my MBP. None disappeared from my iPad.
So at this point, my iPad becomes a games machine. I can't get my contacts to it. I can't my calendar to it. Email is no good without my contacts.

The iCloud Calendar and Time Machine don't play nice together. If you accidentally delete your calendars, they are deleted on iCloud: you restore the cached versions from TM, and iCloud promptly brings them up to date by deleting them again.
However it is possible to restore from Time Machine (or another backup system if it's included your calendars) by following the following steps:
Turn off your internet connection. Make sure that it really is completely off.
Restore from Time Machine or your backup. This should restore your calendars to list under your iCloud username.
Now carry out this process with each calendar:
Select a calendar listed under your iCloud login name.
From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
Create a new calendar with the same name as the one you've just exported from, choosing 'On My Mac'.
From the File menu choose Import... Select the .ics file and choose to import it into the calendar you just created (make sure you don't import it into the iCloud version).
Now your calendars are listed under 'On My Mac' as well as under your iCloud login name.
Reconnect to the internet. Your iCloud calendars will disappear as before. Now carry out the following process with each of the 'On My Mac' calendars:
Select your 'On My Mac' calendar. From the File menu choose 'Export...' then 'Export...'; from the sub-menu. This will create an .ics file at the location chosen in the Export dialog.
From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your iCloud login name in the sub menu.
A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your iCloud login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the iCloud version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
Your calendar contents will appear in the iCloud version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
You can now delete the 'On My Mac' version of the calendar (control-click it in the sidebar list and choose 'Delete').
You should back up your calendars periodically by exporting the .ics files as in step 1 above and keeping them safely.

Can't get iCloud to work on my iPad

Hi! I got an iPad for Christmas and I have never been able to get iCloud on it. It says the account has not been verified and to verify it with the email they sent. Well...I never got an email. Thought I could do without it but now I realize it would be good to have. Can anyone help me?
I might also add that my son synked his iPod on my computer to download some music for me and now his name pops up on some of my apps. Might this be the cause?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Firstly apps are associated with your iTunes account not your iCloud account. ask for another email to be sent to you. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account

Can't get iCloud to work

I am a step above illiterate when it comes to computers so bear with me. I have a MacBook Pro running Lion OS and have an iPad running the new iOS 5. I have set up iCloud on both devices but when I make changes or additions to the calendar it does not show up on the other device. I thought this would happen automatically. Do just documents show up on both devices. I would be grateful for any help/advice.

Hey jeffromst.george,
It was a little confusing when I did it, so I used this website to give me a start-point. Let me know if you have other questions.

Can't get iCloud to work on Mac, but seems ok on iPad

I set up iCloud on my Mac and iPad. On my iMac I checked off mail, contacts, calendar, bookmarks and find my mac. When I click on "manage", It shows Backups and Mail on the left but Mail says 0kb. Backups show my last iPad back up but no iMac backups. What could I be doing wrong? I have updated everything to the latest software. I set up the iPad first, could that have caused a problem?
Thanks!

Cannot get iCloud to work on upgraded iPhone

This week I upgraded my iPad (iPad 2), & iPhone (iPhone 4) to IOS7.
I did the iPad2 first. There were no problems with the upgrade to IOS7. After upgrading, I logged into iCloud on my iPad using the correct ID and gave correct password. There were no problems. I was able to wanted to turn on "Find my iPad" without any problem.
I upgraded the iPhone4 next. There were no problems with the upgrade to IOS7. After upgrading, I logged into iCloud, again using the correct ID and correct password. I immediately received this error message:
"Photo Stream - Photos for the iCloud account "iCloud" cannot be accessed. Review your account information in Settings".
You are given the choice of "Ignore" and "Settings". I pressed the "Settings" button and arrived at the main settings screen, with no other information. However, the iCloud setting is greyed out (disabled). I cannot access any iCloud settings. Likewise, in the "Photos & Camera" setting, the icons for "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" are greyed out (disabled).
Nothing I do will allow me to access iCloud settings.
I tried turning off the iPhone (resetting it). Once I turn it on again, I go to settings/iCloud. Tapping this brings up the iCloud login. I enter the correct password (for the correct ID), and immediately get the above "Photo Stream..." error.
I have tried this 4 times now. I can say with some confidence that resetting the phone does NOT fix the problem.
SO - what is going on, and how can I get iCloud to work on my iPhone?
Thanks.
p.s. The iPad's iCloud is working just fine.

If your iCloud setting is greyed out, go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set this to Allow Changes.

How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password

My Apple ID and password works for iTunes and App Store. I'm trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad but i keep getting an error message that reads unsupported ID. Apple ID must be in the form of email address (@me.com). I don't have a MobileMe account. How can I get iCloud to accept my working Apple ID and password?

I've also reset my password to my Apple ID. I still get the Unsupported ID and password.

My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

My old email that using register for apple ID cannot access/check any mail because that domain already deactivate.

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

I added content to a document in Pages on my Mac last night, which was saved to icloud and this morning it was gone. Can I get my precious work back? Thanks

Hello
I added content to a document in Pages on my Mac last night, which was saved to icloud and this morning the additions were gone. Can I get my precious work back? Thanks

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Can i get icloud to work on os x 10.6.8?
