Cannot sync mac with icloud

I cannot sync my mac with icloud. I believe I should go to ical preferences and add an account, right? There is no "icloud" menu choice -- only mobilme which is dead.
I have ical version 4.04 and Mac OS X 10.6.8. Everything I run tells me my software is up-to-date but I seem to see an updated version of ical out there -- 5.0.1 which I would think would have the choice to add an icloud account.
What to do? If all it takes is updating ical, why doesn't it do that when the system is checking itself for updates? Where would I go to download the newest version of ical?

Why would apple make Snow Leapord obselete for syncing information? I wanted to wait to upgrade to Lion until a later build, but now, my contacts, calender, mail, etc... will not sync?
This is really disappointing.
I've read about using gmail and outlook to link accounts, but why would apple send me to a third party? I want to use apple to sync everything.
They left Snow Leapord behind, and it's sad.
please let me know if there is a fix planned for this, or if Lion is the only way going forward that I can use icloud's glorious syncing capabilities.

This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud ...

HELLO.
The moment I start/open Mail, Mail shows a message (translated from Dutch):
"This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud because of a problem with <my-account>@mac.com. Open iCloud-preferences to solve this problem."
And it shows 2 buttons: [Later] and [iCloud-preferences].
Pushing [Later] results in the same message (this is a loop).
Pushing [iCloud-preferences] results in the opening of "System-preferences" ... but I cannot find what is wrong.
Because the message comes again and again it is not possible to write and/or read a e-mailmessage.
I can open <www.icloud.com> and I can send messages with <www.icloud.com>. My Mac syncs also addresses, notes, etc.. without problems ... so my accountname and password are correct.
Please: tell me what I have to do.

HELLO AGAIN.
The problem with the popup-message "This Mac cannot ..." still exists.
The anoying thing is that I cannot do anything with Mail ... the popup-message appears again and again.
I've read all the advises and followed them ...
Systempreferences / InternetAccounts: I cannot remove my iCloud-account (** [MESSAGE] **)
Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot remove the "V" off Mail
Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot log out (** [MESSAGE] **).
My username (ending at @mac.com) is correct.
My password (XXXXX) is correct.
I can access iCloud.com (Mail, Addresses, ...).
I can access this support-pages.
My iPhone recieves and sends messages.
The [** MESSAGE **] is (translated from Dutch): 'Your iCloud-account cannot be removed. Mail cannot remove <account>@icloud.com. Start Mail again en logout again at iCloud."
Question. Makes it any difference that I use accountnames ending on "mac.com", "me.com" and/or "icloud.com"?
Please ... tell me what I have to do!

There is no Info tab in Mavericks

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

Just bought a preowned palm organizer model TX. I cannot sync it with my computer. the handheld device has the previous owner's name. how do i change the user name on the device

Perform what is referred to as a Hard Reset. It will delete everything including the previous owner's Hotsync ID.
Check out this Palm Knowledgebase article to read about how to perform a Hard Reset.

IPad can't sync contacts with iCloud

I need some help.... I have an iMac running Mtn Lion (10.8.2) and an iPad3 (6.0.1) and I'm trying to sync the two in iCloud. Contacts are giving me a headache. I've got the contacts into iCloud so I went to iTunes, clicked on the iPad and went to "info". Thought everything was OK but no contacts (actually there are a couple) on the IPad. Went back to iTunes and clicked on the iPad. went to "info" and now there is no box to check next to "Sync Contacts" and the message in the box says "Your contacts are being synced with you iPad over the air from iCloud" and "Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad." My contacts are syncing (iPad) with iCloud and I can't figure out to get the check box back so I can choose to sync my contacts. I know there are other threads out there with similar questions but I couldn't find anything that helped me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Correction....my iPad contacts are NOT syncing with iCloud

When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas?

When I try to sync my apps with iTunes this message pops up: "cannot sync apps with iPhone because the apps on iPhone cannot be determined." Any ideas? It has always worked in the past...

On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

I have been having syncing issues with icloud notes, contacts, and now icloud email. Does anyone have suggestions?

Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading and reading PDF journal articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.

Right now, there is an iCloud blackout. Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

Help! Syncing iPad with iCloud after setting it to sync with iTunes

I bought my iPad yesterday and synced it with iTunes. Now I want to sync it with iCloud (I have my iPhone 4 backed up in iCloud). Do I need to restore my iPad?.

I don't actually play games on my iPad or phone but I believe that games need to work through the game centre for data to sync like that. Although its also technically possible for games to do it through document and data syncing in the iCloud system preferences, but I don't know if any games have taken advantage of the possibility yet.

I synced Outlook with iCloud, now I can't find my saved emails.

I purchased a new iPhone and synced it with iCloud as well as my PC and all Outlook data. I had old email saved in
folders, now the folders are all empty and I can't find any of the email that I had needed to keep.
