How do I add iCloud to Finder sidebar

How do I add iCloud to the Finder Sidebar?  I have newly downloaded Mountain Lion OS X and not that when opening Finder > Go> ***/library   is not found.

You do this with the iWork documents stored in the cloud on the iCloud website - please see
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm9d1d48dc
iCloud does not have general file storage; at present only iWork and TextEdit documents can be uploaded to iCloud for access by your iOS devices.
Dropbox is completely independent of iCloud and is an online file storage solution.
what's the point of the iCloud?
iCloud:
•Provides one main @me.com email address and up to three 'aliases' (additional addresses).
•Allows you to sync your calendars between your Mac(s) and iOS devices.
•Ditto with contacts
•Ditto with Safari bookmarks
•Provides a conduit which copies photos taken on any one device onto all the others
•Provides a fairly basic photo gallery (populated only from iPhoto for iOS)
•Provides 'Find My iPhone/iPad' to locate a missing device that is able to connect to a network
•Backs up the contents of your iPhone
•Syncs iWork and TextEdit documents (only) between your Mac and your iPhone
•Tracks the location of your friends (only with their permission)

    Hi
    How do I add docs to Finder window sidebar? I used to be able to, now I can't. I can add folders but not docs.

    That feature has been dropped with Mavericks.  I've since added a folder to my dock and add the single documents to it:

    How do I add iCloud to my dock?

    If you really did actually just want quick access to icloud preferences, you can find the preferences at /System/Library/PreferencePanes.
    But I can't think if why you'd want to or need to.  What Roger posted is probably what you're really after.

    How can I add iCloud account to mail without it choosing mobile me?

    Please always state your operating system when you have a question. Presumably you have Snow Leopard or Leopard - system too old to have heard of iCloud.
    Please follow the steps outlined in this illustrated article:

    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)

  • HT4972 how do i add icloud to my ipad Version 4.2.1

    How do I add icloud to my ipad?

    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

  • I downloaded ios5 but never downloaded Icloud. how do i add icloud to my iphone

    i downloaded ios5 but never downloaded Icloud. how do i add icloud to my iphone now. When i try to updated it tells me i already have the latest version. Is there a way to add icloud without having to restore my iphone to my previous settings. Thanks!!

    iCloud is NOT something you download. I'm not positive how you add it after the fact, since I set it up from the get-go on mine, but try going into Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and add an iCloud account.

    Thank you rk. The usefulness of image capture had somehow pased me by. To answer my own second question in case anyone needs to know, to put your printer in the dock you open printer & scanner in preferences, highlight your printer and drag its icon to the dock (in chains if necesary!)

  • HT1338 how do i add iCloud to iPhoto?

    I have  MacBook Pro, with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  We just purchased and connected an AppleTV.  I can connect to ITunes just fine, but I can't access any of my photos.  In iPhoto, under Sharing, it doesn't give me an iCloud or AppleTV option.  How do I add that to my iPhotos 11?

    Its labled as "photo stream" This is a device that if you take a pictrue with a device IOS 5 or later, it will appear on all iCloud devices. Hope this works for you.

  • How do i add icloud to my iphone if i lost the phone

    I lost my iphone. Can i still add icloud to it even if I lost it?

    Hi,
    Go to http://icloud.com and go to the "bookmarks" Menu and come down to Add bookmark  there should be an option to add the bookmark to your toolbar or bookmarks bar.
    Select “Add Bookmark” or press command-D on your keyboard.  Upon making this selection, a window will pop up, give the bookmark a name, and select “Bookmarks Bar” as it’s location.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I add iCloud drive to Favorites in Finder window?

    Due to an accident with a mouse with a dying battery, I managed to remove iCloud drive item from the Favorites in the Finder window. If you do it with one, they're all missing it. So how do I restore it? I can't find any way to do it. Help articles are utterly useless as they say nothing on the matter. I don't even know what iCloud drive is and yet I have apparently permanently removed it from the favorites list.

    I feel like a *******, since it seems obvious now. I guess when you're so close to the matter you don't see it.
    Thanks for the advice.

  • I can't find icloud on my computer, it only shows mobile me...how do I add icloud

    I have an iPad and purchased extra storage for iCloud for photo's, etc.  I cannot access it from my computer because I cannot find iCloud, I am only able to see Mobile Me

    iCloud isn't something that you can selectively download, it comes with the lion operating system. I suspect you do not have the Lion operating system and would need to update your computer to it before you could use iCloud.
