How do I install iCloud to my MacBook?

I am trying to install iCloud in my MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops.  I checked for updates and it comes back saying updated, but when I go to Sytem Preferences, it doesn't come up on there at all.  Am I missing something?  How can I get it in my computers?

iCloud is a service that requires OSX Lion to activate.
As Niel says, you will have to upgrade to Lion via the Mac App Store and then go to www.icloud.com to setup your iCould on all the devices under your AppleID.

    The functionality of iCloud is integrated into the OS once you update to to Lion OS X 10.7.2.
    Then use the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences to setup the connection to your Apple ID and configure the apps to be synced.

  • How do i install icloud into my macbook pro?

    I'm trying to back up my music into icloud but i noticed that my laptop does not have it so i would like to know how to install it.. If someone could help me would be awsome

    If you're referring to iTunes Store purchases, the process is handled automatically if it's available at all in your country, but shouldn't be considered a backup.
    If you're referring from music from other sources, click here and follow the instructions.

  • Still have MobileMe icon (not iCloud) on my System Preferences,how can I install iCloud on Macbook pro?

    Still have MobileMe icon (not iCloud) on my System Preferences, how can I install iCloud on Macbook pro when directions say to click on iCloud icon in System Pref. ?

    Read the system requirements for iCloud.  It is not compatible with Snow Leopard which your system profile confirms you have. 

  • Can I install icloud on my MacBook? What I have here is MobileMe.

    I want iClouad on my MacBook but what I have here is MobileMe.  How can I install iCloud?

    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 Mountain Lion, 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
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion 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 must first upgrade to 10.7.5 or later.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, 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.

    I purchased and installed Lion on my iMac. How do I install it on my MacBook without paying for it again?

    You'll have to download again.  You will not be charged if you use the same Apple ID.
    Save the file somewhere before installing.

  • How do I install ICloud on my IMac desktop?  I am running OS-X 10.6.8, which is the latest for my machine.

    I have an IMac desktop -- IMac 11.2 with this software version 10.6.8
    I also have an IPhone 4S and an IPad Air, and I want to link all three.
    My IMac desktop was purchased before ICloud, so ICloud was not pre-installed.
