Cant find icloud on my mac!

I have a macbook, I have just downloaded the lastest software and yet icloud is still not becoming available its still mobile me!? I have tried to update software again but it say's 'no software available' ...help please?

From the sound of it you have 10.6.8 or earlier (please when you have a question post your operating system to prevent confusion and guesswork). Software Update will not upgrade you to a higher system, e.g. Snow Leopard to Lion, etc.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non 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.
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
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page. With the release of Mavericks it's not as yet clear whether this is still available.
The requirements for 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). It replaces Mountain Lion (no longer available) but has the same requirements and the additional advantage of being free.
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
(If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 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.)

  • I cant find icloud on my mac

    icloud no longer appears in my applications list.  All I did was reset photo streaming

    No wonder. You're two operating systems behind. The only way you can use iCloud is if you are running Lion v10.7.2
    v10.5.8 is Leopard.
    You will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first v10.6.8 so you can download Lion from the App Store.
    If you decide you want to upgrade, make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare

    To use iCloud you must have at least Mac OS X 10.7.2...if you have that, then go to System Preferences and the iCloud icon will be on the left side under Internet and Network...click on the icon and setup iCloud as you want it to work on your MBP.

  • I cannot find icloud on my mac.  I have looked under system preferences  but it doesn't show up.

    Where do I find icloud on my mac?  I have looked under system preferences but it isn't there.  I thought I had the latest software and my iphone has icloud on it.  Now do I get it on my mac so they will talk to each other.  Can't sync calendar.

    I'm not running OSX Lion 10.7.2.  I guess that's not a free download?

  • Suddenly mu iPhoto disappeared. I cant find it in my mac

    there was an update due, i made it and it erased my iphoto, i cant find it anywhere, what can I do

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Cant find icloud

    I cannot find ICloud in my system preferences.  I have "updated" my software to OS X 10.6.8 but do not know if this is sufficient.  Do I need to update and will this update need to be paid for or is it free?

    You need 10.7.5 or higher to use icloud.

    Hey dilangokhan,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you need to change your iCloud password. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Cant find iPhone notes on Mac desktop

    Hi, I have OS X Lion running on my Mac and my 'notes' from my iPhone are nowhere to be found. I tried the suggestion of 'un' then reselecting notes in preferences - iCloud but it didn't work. When I go to system preferences - iCloud, there is no box for notes. Only Mail & Notes. And when I deselect it and reselect it, the notes are still nowhere to be found.
    On my other mac with the older OS the notes show up in the dock.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks

    Also check your iPhone to make sure Notes are setup to Sync via the same iCloud account via iPhone -> Settings -> Notes -> Default Account
    and iPhone -> Settings -> iCloud -> Account
    and iPhone -> Settings -> iCloud -> Notes
    The above iPhone info was for iOS 7 (not sure exactly what previous iOS version settings would be).

    Can anybody point me to the PS ELEMENTS 6 FOR MAC installer please?

    I don't think there was a Mac version of Elelemnts evenr for version 7.  I say that based on a mention in the other place I would have sent you to find it...

    You can share Mail, Calenders, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don't recomment syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates.

  • Where do i find icloud on my mac?

    it`s not on my preferences

    You must purchase and download Lion from the App Store. It is not available through Software Update.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/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.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    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.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
