Yes, your Mac needs to be connected to a Wi-Fi. See this help text: iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006
Find My Mac can only locate your Mac if it is connected to the Internet via a known Wi-Fi network. If your Mac is connected to the Internet only by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate your Mac.
Your iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. You will still be able to request an erase, send a message to display and lock your device, or request that a sound be played. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

I'm picking up all of the data script related to the sending / receipt of an e-mail along with the e-mail itself and can't find a way of not showing the text. Obviusly only a command but can't find it! Help!
Shift-Command-H is the key-combo to switch 'Long Header'/'Standard Header' .
Long way: Top Menu -> View -> E-Mail

I have a laptop Mac and an Ipad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the Ipad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box. -
In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?
HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated. -
I lost my iphone and my macbook pro does not show the icloud in system pref. how do i get icloud on my mac?
iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

I can connect to MAC but not my PC
I have a new Nano, that connects to Mac but not my PC. When I try to connect to PC it says "iTunes as detected a Macintosh formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on Windows."
How can I get my Nano to work on both?
Thanks!Windows cannot read a Mac formatted disk.
You need to Restore on iTunes for Windows and it will then work on Mac & Windows. -
Suddenly, I can't access the Itunes on my computer. I can on my IPod, but not from my home computer, where my library is stored. ANy suggestions?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can connect with Macs but not PCs - iChat 2.1 OSX 10.3.9
Hi, I am having problems connecting to PCs but can connect to other Macs fine. I have ploughed through as much of the correspondance on here as I can find but with no luck. Would I be right in assuming that if I can connect OK to another Mac (with .mac name or AIM name) my settings should be OK?
Cheers,
MikeHi Mike
Try me and see, defcom1 .mac account.
Has the PC side-up ok, see for set-up http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html#xp they must be using AIM5.9 and not AIM Triton

Can see song on mac but not at the spot placed on shuffle
Hi,
My son's problem is he placed a song at a
certain place on his ipod shuffle. It can be seen
when it's mounted on our mac but it's not at that
place when he's listening.
Thanks for any suggestions
RobertI noticed that recently. I think it's a bug in iTunes (not sure when it started). I put a song (actually a podcast) first on the iPod's ordered list, as seen in iTunes. I see iTunes sync with the shuffle. When I play the shuffle in sequential play mode, it is not first. I used to do this often, so I know it worked before.
My work-around - After moving the song, click on the column header for Artist or Name (anything to change the sort order). Then, after iTunes syncs the change, click back on the left-most column header to change the sort order back to load order (the one where you can move songs around). When the iTunes updates the shuffle again, it seems to update the shuffle properly and that song will play in the correct order (on the iPod).
I wrote a bug report here,
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
so if it's the same thing I described, you may want to do the same thing, just so Apple has another report. -
My 120gb ipod will not synch with my itunes just keeps appearing on the desktop gett ing very frustrated as i cannot get any assistance from itunes as i am currently working and living in saudi arabia.

When you connect the iPod to the Mac, what do you see on the iPod screen?
Is there any message from iTunes?
Check and enable that the iTunes Alert is not switch off.
refer to this Apple support article on alert switch.

Hi,
I have successfully shared a few iCal calender with my PA (she can read only), but I do have a personal calender that I want her to know I am busy, but not necessary need her to know who I will be with
I know in google you can still display your calender event but just show it as busy instead of detail, are there anyway to do the same in iCal via iCloud?
My primary calender is iCal (on my two Mac, iphone and iPad), there were I do all my update ... I heard I could do the work around it by sync it to google calender and achieve the same as well, but that seems would be too complicated ...
(When I did a search I found similar question but they seems not using the latest app and iCloud, so sorry if I am duplicate question here)iCloud calendar will not do what you are asking. Using Google calendar is a different thing, but I'm not familiar with it and using it with iCloud.

I am trying to load an external library with about 700 gigs of music into iTunes on my mac, but of course my mac's inter hard drive is much less than that. Is there a way I can load the music onto iTunes without importing it into my computer? I use this hard drive for DJing so it is plugged in the majority of the time. I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro.
Do you use both the internal and external drives for storing music or just the external drive? If both, hold down the option key while dragging media to iTunes to get it to leave the media where it is and add the track location information to iTunes. A better solution would be to relocate the entire iTunes library to the external drive and run it all from one place. This will also make it easier to make backups of the library as you should since you are using this in a professional capacity and your livelihood depends upon it. We can provide advice on how to do this once we know more about your setup (is there an existing library already, and where?)
