Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now 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

    You will need something such as this:

    Note that this will only transmit video.  If you need sound, the audio output port will have to be tapped.

    It was telling you that you needed Mac OS 10.6.8 or later, not itunes 10.6.8
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later"

  • How cane i find a stolling apple mac book pro

    how cane i find a stolling apple mac book pro 15"
    i just have the serial nubber

    Report your stolen computer to local law enforcement. You will need the serial number to make a complete report. Contact your insurance to see if they will pay a claim based on the theft. Also if it was purchased with a credit card, contact them and see if they will cover replacement - some cards do within a certain period.
    Best of luck.

  • If I delete a TV show from my iTunes, can I download it again later?

    All my TV shows and movies are taking up too much space on my harddrive. If I delete them from my library, can I download them again later to rewatch? For example, if I delete the a season of The Walking Dead to clear up space on my harddrive, can I download it again later when I'm going through Walking Dead withdrawals? If so, how do I do that? Thanks!

  • HT1408 I have just purchased a mac book pro.  I've linked this to my windows pc to transfer the data from my windows to my mac using the migration assistant.  The serial code comes up on both computers but having commenced transfer it then stops!  why?

    I have tried to transfer data from my old Windows PC to my new MacBook Pro via Ethernet cable.  The function starts to download and then aftera  while it stops unexpectedly and both computers say they are "trying to reconnect">  This transfer  has failed on three attempts so far. What am I doing wrong?  Help please.   I am simlply tyring to transfer my itunes library and photos to the new Mac.

    Forget Migration Assistant. Just copy the files you want to transfer to an External drive and then move that drive to the Mac and copy them over to the Mac. Does matter what the external drive format is as OS X can read from NTFS, Windows, formatted drives.

  • Why can I use my iCloud alias on iPhone but not on iPad?

    Tried this
    Use the OTHER option instead of iCloud or MobileMe. Use the alias as the email address.  Incoming mail server is mail.me.com. User name and password is your primary acct name. Outgoing server is smtp.mail.com.
    Doesn't work. Server rejects alias
    Suggestions?

    Yes.

    Need Help Please

    Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

  • Can you still buy Mac book pro 2010

    Hey all, I have been seriouly thinking of buying Mac Book Pro 2010 model (one with Nvidia GPU in it)  I almost bought one few months back, but I couldn't get monthly payment option in Bestbuy.. And I ened up buy Asus laptop lol. As my old desktop cpu was getting old. Anywho.. I use to use Mac long ago in Highschool and they have come a long way since system 7.
    I have always wanted a Mac, Tired of mircsoft Bs and all virus/spyware and other crap. Just couldn't afford one.
    But hopefully that will be soon.
    I have been checking on-line and reading the reviews of the new Mac Book Pro 2011 models. I also notice they are now using ATI/Amd video GPU in then. Most people are not liking them,  Being that I am gamer, I do want decent laptop with atlest half decent video card.  I have read a lot reviews on older Mac book pro's wih Nvida gpu. I myself like Nvidia over Ati.
    Anywho i hope I can still get one before they are gone. My Question is...
    I love new i7 Cpu in my Asus has 8 cores in it.. Runs at 1.73 ghz & Boost upto 2.9 Ghz.. (intel core i7 740QM cpu )
    I'd love get that same Cpu in Mac book Pro with decent Nvida gpu...
    Can I still order or buy Macbook pro with Intel i7 cpu and still have Nvidia Gpu. Even though most Mac stores/ other computer stores that sell Mac have 2011 version with Crapy Ati Cards in then?
    Or once they gone, They gone? If I can order one, I just dont want miss out on good laptop.
    If anybody knows. Please get back to me, So know if I should be concerned or not. Thank you very much
    -Chester

    Actaully No...They aren't as good or as fast as Nvidia 330M Gpu..

    The older MacBook pro with Nvida Gpu has more memory Bus width.
    Faster memory speed and shader speed..
    Yes new macbook have faster 4 Core, i7 in them. Where 2010 only
    had 2 cores for i5 and i7..
    Check your stats for yourself... the new Ati is also only 64 Bit memory..
    Thats going create alot bottlenecks and lag..
    If I want to play say.. Portal 2, or Starcraft 2. I'm sure it would lag on ATI card..
    My current Asus i7 1.73 ghz  has better ATI Card then curent 2011 MBP.

  • Using Time Capsule to back up Mac Book Pro and external drive

    we're changing our main computer in the house to our mac book pro, which is not currently backed up, so i'm thinking of buying a time capsule. our current main machine is an old pc with two external hard drives connected....one used as the main file storage location and the second as a back up location. the main large files on these drivers are photo's, videos and scanned documents. can i use the time capsule to back up the mac book with an external hard drive connected to it? i'm thinking of leaving all the photo's, videos, documents, etc. on the external harddrive but want to be able to back it up to the time capsule as well as backing up the mac book pro. can backing up the external hard drive be set up to activate automatically daily as I think the mac book can? thanks

    This is not as simple as it could be..
    Firstly the Mac can read the external drives via the PC if they are shared to the network.. it cannot read them directly plugged into the Mac or the TC.
    Also the TC is not really designed to store files.. it is a location for backups by TM..
    Read some of the stuff Pondini.. our local Time Machine expert.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Q3 here is relevant. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    The hard drives would have to be plugged directly into the Mac to be backed up and they would have to be reformatted to Mac format. So you would need to offload the files.. format and then load the files back.. no trivial task.
