It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
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
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and 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).
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.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions to verify acct, but I have no email in my inbox, even after resending multiple times.

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

I am having trouble setting up icloud it keeps sending me back to install instructions and I'm just getting frustrated. So far I'm not liking the new itunes I can't figure out how to look at my duplicate music like I used to.

I can't sign on to icloud. It says I need an icloud account. I click the help option it send me back to the same page. I reinstall it nothing.
Download the iCloud Control Panel.
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).
ok I can't seem to set up iCloud on any device I don't understand... Ive already installed it three times.
Turn on iCloud.
From the Windows Start menu, choose iCloud Control Panel.
Enter the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account and select the iCloud services you’d like to enable.
For mail, contacts, and calendars, you can use iCloud.com or Outlook 2007 or later.
there is no iCloud control panel but I click on i cloud. Then entere the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account - WHAT!!!!? where is this I keep trying to find out how to create and iCloud account but I keep getting these stupid directions!!!
Enable automatic downloads.
To enable automatic downloads for your music, apps, and books, open iTunes > Edit > Preferences > Store and select Music, Apps, and Books.* (Requires iTunes 10.5 or later.)
- This is the only step that makes sense and already did it...
Turn on iCloud for the rest of your devices.
To get the most out of iCloud, set it up everywhere.
This is soooo frustrating!!!!
Also I want to be able to look at duplicate songs on my itunes but after I downloaded the new version I can not figure out how to get that back. If the duplicate setting isn't in the new itunes I want the old version back.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

I am having trouble with sleep mode for my macbook pro

My Macbook pro 13" is getting old, about late 2009.
Sorry if language confusing you.
Ok, Normally when you are turn your screen down osx will automatically get into sleep mode and when you open the screen it will be back as usual.
Lately since 2-3 months ago til now I am having problem with that, when I am turn my screen down everything is fine I mean no horrible noise or anything that warn you like this mac is having problem and turn to sleep mode as usual BUT when I am turn it back on my monitor screen is blank, black screen for awhile I mean not less than 5 minutes also no respond to anything then my mac will auto restart and show up the dialog "This mac has restarted because unexpected problem blah blah blah" something like that. Sometimes I can't wait that long so I hold down the turn off button then turn my mac on again.
Not everytime this problem show up just it seems this problem start show up more frequently.

Ok I got the answer from google, just resetting PRAM or something and now everything is fine.

Trouble setting up EFI boot on Macbook Pro

I've been running Arch as a single OS on my Macbook Pro 7.1 for a few months using the bios compatibility mode. I would like to try a pure EFI boot. The reason is that I have an OCZ Vertex II SSD that the MBP fails to boot from, while booting works fine on an 4 y/o Dell Inspiron 6400. I suspect the SATA running in IDE mode on the MBP is the cause, and this wiki entry suggests that under grub2 AHCI can be forced. Also the same page states that the TRIM feature in the kernel is not available in IDE mode.
I read the wiki pages on EFI, grub2 and this how-to http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnMacbook, but some things are not clear to me:
- Do i need a separate 'EFI System' partition? If so what folder structure should it have and on which mount point should it be mounted? Does it need to be fat32?
- Do I need a BIOS Boot Partition?
- The how to explains using the 'Apple bootloader'. But isn't that what grub2 is?
- Do I need GPT for using EFI on a MBP?
- Do I need grub2-efi or does grub2 from core/community work well enough?

Thanks for the tips skodabenz. I am getting some progress, in the sense that the Grub menu shows up. But selecting any item results in black screen with a prompt in the top-left. These are the things that I've been trying, each time swapping harddisk with the SSD:
- following the tips on http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnMacbook I verified that the firmware is 64 bit using the mac OSX cd.
- Also I changed the path of the the contents of /efi/efi/grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr to /efi/EFI/BOOT/
and renamed grub.efi to BOOTX64.EFI as that is where the firmware seems to expect it
- Furthermore since efi is on a separate partition I added '/boot/' to the initrd and kernel lines (see grub.cfg. below).
One or more of these changes made that I when booting with the alt key pressed I can get into the grub menu. Just before the grub menu appears though I see an error message that is too quick to read. Something like "error 'prefix' ...". Selecting any item in the grub menu results in a prompt.
- To be sure that it wasn't a typo in grub.cfg I tried this within the chroot, and it doesn't show any errors:
cat /efi/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg | /bin/grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr-script-check --verbose
- I then decided to compile more modules so I did:
grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr-mkimage -d /usr/lib/grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi -p "" -o /efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI minicmd part_msdos part_gpt fat ext2 hfsplus ntfs reiserfs xfs iso9660 ls search loopback linux chain reboot halt appleldr help configfile hexdump loadbios fixvideo sh
- Still no boot, so I installed the 2.6.36-ck kernel from aur.
- Then I tried the ahci force tip mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives
and added to menu items in the grub.cfg 'insmod setpci' and added to the menu items 'setpci -d 10de:0d85 90.b=40' with the pci id determined from 'lspci -nn'
A strange thing I noticed was that even though when booting from the SSD there is only one drive, when I press 'c' in the grub menu and then 'ls' I get this output, so now there is both a hd0 and hd1:
(hd0) (hd1) (hd1,gpt3) (hd1,gpt2) (hd1,gpt1) (cd0)
a 'ls (hd1,gpt2)' shows the contents of the partition that contains /boot. When I change the items in grub cfg to set 'root=(hd0,gpt2)' I get 'no such partition' error. When I change it to 'set root=(hd1,gpt2)' I get the black screen with a prompt.
A little research showed the cause for this:
[root@arch-macbookpro boot]# cat /boot/grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr/device.map
(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HTS545025B9SA02_100610PBL2003SKV6ZPV
(hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/usb-OCZ-VERT_EX2_FCF0FEFFEFFCF0F33F5231144FF5FD-0:0
I guess I have to change this file and reinstall grub2. Will post the results in a next post.
This is the grub.cfg so far. None of these menu items work:
# Example Config file for GRUB2 - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub2_efi/grub.cfg.example

Trouble Setting Up Samsung 30inch On Macbook Pro

I can't seem to get the resolution on my 30" monitor working correctly with my macbook pro. If I set the resolution to anything > 1200x800 only a portion of the screen is displayed and by positioning my mouse to the outer edge of the screen the monitor scrolls to the corresponding undisplayed section.
Anyone know what to do to get the proper resolution? I am running Windows XP SP2c and have NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT drivers.

Every LCD display has a 'native' resolution (it's maximum resolution). For most 30" widescreen displays, that's 2560x1600.
The $29 adapter (single-link DVI) that you're using cannot carry enough data for 2560x1600 - you need the dual-link DVI ($99) adapter to support a display of that resolution.

I am having trouble getting my music from my macbook pro itunes to my iPhone

I cannot put my music from my mac onto my iphone. I try to drag to to my connected iphone icon, but it will not go into the icon. I got my mac after my iphone which is why I might be having trouble but I'm not able to put any music I get on my mac onto my iphone. Please Help!

do you have manual manage music checked?

TS3512 I'm having trouble authorizing iTunes on my new macbook pro due to authorization on computers I no longer have. How do I deauthorize laptops and desk tops I no longer have?

New MacBook Pro 15" won't authorize my iTunes to sync with my other Apple devices, iPad, iMac, iPod and other MacBook Pro 17" since I have authorized other devices (5 is the limit) that I no longer own.
How do I get passed this severe limitation? I also assume that my Apple TV won't be alowed to sync due to this limitation as well... any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

I am having trouble installing Lightroom 4 on my MacBook Pro.

I have used the LR4 DVD, and it seems to install, but it doesn't showup in an active way on my computer (MacBook Pro w/ 10.6.8). I can't find it on my computer... it was installed on the hard drive, but doesn't show up on the "dock." Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Double click your HDD on the desktop, then open the Applications folder. If it was properly installed it should be in the folder. If its there click/hold/drag to the dock.
Then you should be able to start the application from the dock. You can double click the Icon in the Applications folder to start also.

Having trouble setting up iCloud Keychain in multiple devices

I set up for using iCloud Keychain on my iMac but am having problem getting through approval process for iPad. iPad demand either use of Security Code which I do not have or approve it from another devicer that uses iCloud Keychain. iCloud Keychain on iMac's preference says "waiting for approval from other device. clicking Detail tells me "Approval request has been sent to the other device using iCloud Keychain". Yet I do not see the request on my iPad. I am at complete loss. Appreciate any hint to get out of this mess.

I am trying to set up ICloud on my MacBook pro and I have the most recent software but all that shows up in system preferences is mobile me still. Why is that?

Mobile me is still there and I don't have a mobile me account so I cannot log in.

I am having the same problem.
My iMac has kept up to date with OSX now at 10.7.4. I successfully switched to iCloud yesterday - and System Preferences shows iCloud icon.
My 2 laptops (Air, Pro) I have realised are behind thet times - both are on 10.6.8. In both cases Software Update says they are up to date!
I am wondering if this has something to do with the fact that I was very lazy and bought the OS X Lion from the App Store - downloaded onto the iMac and then transferred legally to the laptops with a USB drive.
I have tried to update the laptops with a download of 10.7.1 (and also 10.7.2) but the system wants a 10.7 upgrade first.
I am now downloading the whole of Lion again from the App Store, to see if that will allow me to update the 2 laptops.
Any insight out there? I will report progress..........

I'm having trouble downloading an update to my MacBook Pro. It comes up with my husband's name even though the MacBook is registered under my name and I have my own ITunes acct. how do I get his name off the ITunes update on my Mac

I'm trying to download an automatic update from ITunes but when I click on "Update" it comes up with the message, "You have updates available for other accounts" an tells me to sign in to my husband's account, even though the MacBook is registered in my name and I have my own ITunes account. My husband has his own MacBook and ITunes acct. How do I fix?
