How do I get icloud on my macbook pro? It is not in the System Preference section.

Install 10.7.2 or later.
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 can 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 iCloud services; 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) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later

How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
It goes from this:
To this:
And on the development console it says this:

Hello EpicEmma,
I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
type : "~Library/ Application Support
Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
The blue bar will take a minute or two...
And then... it should start normally
U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

HT4759 how do i get icloud on my macBook pro so i can find my iphone?

How do I download ICloud on my MacBook Pro so that i may pick up my iphone that was missed place?

Unless you have the 10.7.2 or better operating system you cannot use Icloud, if you already have the operating system you already have icloud.
So far as finding your phone goes, you would need to have activated "find my phone" on your phone already, if you haven't you will be unable to locate your phone. If you have you can go to the icloud.com website and locate your phone, assuming of course it is turned on and connected to the network.

Can I get iCloud on my MacBook Pro 10.6.8?

I have a MacBook Pro Version 10.6.8. I just got an iPhone 5 and would like to sync my iCal to my phone. What do I need to do? Do I need to download the latest operating system to get iCloud? I have not downloaded an operating system previously.

Also, make sure that your computer can in fact be upgraded to the newer OS version. Check your computers model and year - https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do.
Once you know the model and year, ensure that your model is supported for the 10.8 OS - http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/.

How can i get imovie on my macbook pro for free?

i have a brand new macbook pro and i don't have ilife or iwork installed, does anyone know how i could get it without purchasing it?
thanks

Hello purple23
When you open the Mac App Store for the first time, it should ask you to except the purchase for the bundled applications. For iwork, you will need to make sure that you are running OS X Mavericks and as long as your Mac was purchased after October 22, you should be able to download those apps for free.
Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store
