How do I sync my new macbook pro ical to cloud?

My Macbook pro is brand spanking new.  I've had an itouch for a long time, and an ipad.
Today I figured out cloud, and can sign into icloud via the internet... created a wonderful calendar that I can sync on my itouch and my ipad.  Howver ical is not set up as a device and I don't know how to do that.  I tried via the settings on my macbook pro and it promps me to sign into mobile me... which closed down in June I believe... so of course it's giving me an error message.  I do have the cloud app on my computer, but it seems like a drop box of sorts.
If I open ical and click on preferences, it promps me to sign into mobile me and again.. the vicious circle continues.
I have updated my macbook pro and I'm running the most recent version of Itunes...
can anyone help?
thanks.

As your MacBook Pro is new I assume it has Lion on it? Make sure you have 10.7.2 and if not, use Software Update to bring your Mac up to date.
Then go to System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and enter your iCloud account details there.

    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.

  • I synced my new macbook pro to my old iMac

    I synced my new macbook pro to my old iMac(which is old, and doesn't have a lot of memory left) and thus I keep getting the error message on my (new) macbook that the startup disk is almost full, even though I haven't anything on it. so should I restore it? there's nothing i need to save anyway. the macbook is OSX 10.8.

    I have no idea what Synced my Macbook to my old iMac means.
    Does it mean you copied the contents of the iMac hard drive to the Macbook Pro? You then say you have nothing on your hard drive yet you are getting messages that the startup disk is full.  Something is not making sense here.
    You need to provide much more information before anyone else can help you.

  • I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar.  I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

    I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar.  It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message. 

    About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
    Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

  • How do I enable my new macbook pro to become my default computer to sync all my apple devices-iphone 4, touch, ipod classic, nano?  My five year old dell's hard drive has only 2GB of space available and is currently the computer I use for all these device

    I have a new macbook pro that I wish to sync all my apple devices--ipodclassic,nano,iphone4,touch-- that are currently synced with a 5 year old windows based computer with only 2GB of available hard drive space. How can I do this and maintain all of my info-contacts, songs,photos etc without losing this data< Thanks

    you can either update to lion/ios5 and use the cloud to sync or you can plug in said devices and sync them with your MBP instead of your dell via a tethered usb connection.
    also, sign into your itunes store account on your mac.

  • How do I get my New Macbook pro to sync with .mac account????

    I just purchased a new Macbook Pro to replace my Ibook G4 which had been successfully syncing on my .mac account with my Imac G5 desktop computer.
    The new Macbook Pro has Leopard while my G5 has Tiger. The salesperson told me that this would NOT be a problem at all. I configured the Ical to sync automatically in the preferences along with contacts and mail accounts. They both worked fine but the ICal does not sync.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Skip

    Thanks for your reply. Yes I did, several times. What finally happened is after about 18 hours, the syncing started to work. I think what happened was that the mac server must take some time for backing up or whatever and all of a sudden when it did, it synced....
    go figure.

  • Syncing to new MacBook Pro after sync/backup to Dell Windows XP?

    Hi,
    Back in November I bought an iTouch 4G 32GB. Love it. Awesome device. But at the time all my Macs ran OS X 10.4 and I wanted to back up the data and apps on my iTouch so I used an old Dell to do that. The version of iTunes I needed to do that did not run on OS X 10.4....but did run on XP, humm?
    Anyway, last week I bought a new 17" MacBook Pro and now I want to use that as the primary computer I use with my iTouch. But I can't see how to do that without wiping my iTouch clean!!!
    I can reload my iTune music collection, but I don't want to lose all my apps and data files I now have on my iTouch! How do I copy/backup/sync the apps FROM my iTouch TO iTunes on my new MacBook Pro with losing everything???
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Well, the apps copied from the iTouch to the MacBook Pro. BUT….
    1. Both sides (MacBook & iTouch) of the apps window in iTunes is "transparent" and nothing can be selected on either side. It looks like I now have to "sync" the two to copy the apps back to the iTouch (or to make sure they are there and the two sides match)? This scares the heck out of me, because it says "Are you are sure you want to sync all apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPod "Jeffs iPod" will be replaced with the apps from this iTunes library"…….which I think is Ok to do now, but it still makes me nervous, not doing this everyday…
    2. I do see if I click "Apps" under Library in iTunes I can select/manage the apps….but it says there are only 167. My iTouch says I have 218 apps (and 17 videos, and 61 photos, 1834 songs). Why the difference in the number of apps?? And will they be organized the same way I have them now on my iTouch? I think so, but…
    (…."Hence the information about redownloading apps." ….I am trying to avoid re-downloading (and re-organizing) a bunch of my apps, had to do some of this when I updated to iOS 4.3 and for some reason iTunes on the Dell did not copy all the apps to the Dell before updating the iOS. and then telling me there was a problem and the only way to use my iTouch again was to Restore it!! That included about 3 hours to to reload my music BTW)
    3. I never used iPhoto, but I now have a bunch of pictures and videos on my iTouch (including a bunch from the Toronto Supercross I attended Saturday) that I don't want to lose! The LAST thing I want to do to my iTouch photos is sync them right now! I can't even see how to copy the pics in my iTouch to my MacBook! So what so I do there?
    Is there a way to copy the pictures and videos on the iTouch to the MacBook before trying to do a sync, a risk wiping them out? At least I'd have copies of them if the pics and vids got wiped on the iTouch.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Ensuring iPhone will sync with new Macbook Pro without migrating all settings

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new macbook pro. I don't want to use the migrate assistant to copy all settings and user profiles, because my old macbook has some problems and I want to ensure they aren't transferred over.
    However, I need to be sure that my iPhone 4 will sync properly with my new macbook pro and all my purchased apps will be carried over.
    Can someone tell me what specifically I need to migrate to ensure this works properly?
    Thank you!

  • Ipod classic sync to new macbook pro

    Hi,
    I bought a new ipod classic and did use it on my old PC but now have a new macbook pro.  What, if anything, should I do when I attach my new ipod to the new computer??
    Thanks

    Doris,
    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it to a new computer/iTunes library the process will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with the content that is now in your new iTunes library.  If possible, copy your entire iTunes library from your PC to your Mac first.  Here are a few ways to do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    One way to do it is to use your iPod Classic as an external hard drive and copy it that way.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the methods described in this Apple support document to copy content from your iPod back to your Mac.

  • Purchased audiobooks disappeared after syncing with new MacBook Pro

    I had my iPhone synced with a Windows laptop which got really slow and decided to replace it with a MacBook Pro. In between the last sync with the laptop and the first sync with the MacBook Pro I had bought a couple of audiobooks through the iTunes Store. After syncing the iPhone with the new Macbook everything was fine except the audiobooks which we gone. Originally I thought it would work as with the apps from the AppStore that I could download them again free of charge by just giving my apple ID and password. However this was not the case. Can someone please help me with this as losing these audiobooks would suppose a more considerable loss of money compared to just apps.
    Thank you,
    Arne

    You should have transferred the purchases to your computer: File>Devices>transfer Purchases
    At this point, all you can do is contact itunes support, explain your situation, and hope they grant a redownload.
