How to use icloud with iphone

I am very confused on how to sync or use my cloud on my Mac with my new IPhone 5S.  I have all the settings on the phone correct.  On the Mac, under Preferences, there is no "cloud" item for me to choose to set up, only mobile me and I get error if clicking it.  I do have a cloud "folder" listed on the sidebar menu under Finder along with Desktop, Our Name, Applications, Cloud Drive, Documents.  However, there is nothing in the cloud and I have my phone set to upload everything.
I've even looked in IPhoto and there is only a mobile me icon, which does nothing if I click it.  I don't see a way to upload pictures.
I also have a symbol that looks like a cloud across the top menu where the volume button is, but it doesn't do anything if you try to click it.
I just purchased my IPhone and would like to share my pictures on my Mac.  How can I do this?  Thank you so much for any help you can share.
I also believe it is the same Apple ID account for both.  I input the information in my phone to set it up.

Here lies your issue... OS X 10.6.8 = Snow leopard is too Old for iCloud.
However... you can access iCloud.com using Safari in Snow Leopard.

  • How to use iCloud with my family's devices

    We're an Apple household with two Apple-using parents and three Apple-using kids.  We have two iPads, two iPod Touches, two iPhones and a MacBook Pro.
    Up unti now, I have used all of the devices with the same Apple ID, except for my wife's iPhone and MacBook, which use a different account because I'd purchased a MobileMe account so that her address book and calendar would sync. My iPhone, on the other hand, belongs to my company and data is sync'ed using Exchange, but the AppleID is still mine, there are no special corproate controls, and the Apple ID and apps I purchase belong to me.
    Should I simply migrate my wife to my AppleID, and use iCloud to sync her phone with the MacBook Pro, and leave everything else as-is? Then we will have a single AppleID for everything, and her Calendar and Address book will sync between her two devices, and FindMyiPhone will find everything with a single login? Are there any limits with using all of these iDevices on a single account?
    Thanks!

  • HT4623 How to sync iCloud with iPhone 3G & MacBook Pro

    HELP!  Having serious syncing problems with iCloud
    Problem 1: Syncing my iPhone 3G (calendar and contacts) and MacBook Pro with iCloud - All accounts are "enabled"
    Problem 2: Contacts appearing in duplication on my iMac Contacts and iPhone (when it was syncing)

    Probem 1: I assume you have a 3GS, not a 3G since the 3G can't run iOS 5 and thus can't use iCloud.  Assume that's true, exactly what happens that causes you to believe that it isn't syncing?
    Problem 2:  Duplicates are caused by trying to sync your contacts with both iTunes and iCloud.  You have to pick one, not both.  If you want to sync with iCloud, uncheck sync contacts on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.  (Same is true for calendars.)

  • Using iCloud with iPhone

    I am having a hard time with space on my phone and needing to know if I am able to move apps to my iCloud so that I have memory freeded up to install the new system update.

    This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones.  When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom to create one).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
    You also should avoid using the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  If you are, on one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and to Settings FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.

  • How do use iCloud with Microsoft word, excel and power point? are they compatible

    i am trying to use i cloud with mircosoft word and excel but i am not sure if its compatible. do i first need to purchase pages?

    The kernel failure panic kind of message points to some other activity;
    as such, it may be there could be a conflict in some applications; as a
    logical failure is indicated by the first part of the message content.
    Whether or not any common kernel panic resolution ideas could work
    in regard to the trigger of this action, is another matter & unresolved.
    Reading and understanding the resulting logs is part of this resolution;
    the following link has information on these kinds of issues in general.
    Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2063.html
    Resolving Kernel Panics:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    If there were more, perhaps from another error log in the system, to
    point to other contributing factors in the cause of this action & report,
    some course of correction could be indicated; should that involve a
    reinstall of certain programs (and their update files, as Office has) or
    perhaps removing other seldom used applications if they were proven
    to be part of conflict in the system, with Office triggering its appearance.
    Some troubleshooting of this issue may point to some course of action
    and if the problem is only software-based, then it may involve testing
    or moving, or reinstalling some applications. There is a chance, too,
    that something else may be acting up at a low-level of the system. If
    that were the case, sometimes a re-install of the system on a wiped
    and zeroed drive would be a path to consider to test or resolve this.
    But only after other things have been tried. If you have a full backup
    of the computer's contents on a bootable external drive, that would be
    a means of testing the computer itself.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I use iCloud with my iPod nano and windows laptop?

    not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

    iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican  export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT4864 I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

    I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

    Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email.  One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast.  That is a problem for many users.
    If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward.  Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud.  Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
    And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you.  Apple doesn't participate in these forums.

  • How to using ical with two separate iphones

    hello
    trying to understand and learn how to use Ical with 2 different Iphones, using Icloud.

    To sync iCal across computers, the calendar needs to be published to a server. This can be a local server that you can set up, or it can be something like google or microsoft exchange or apple's mobile me. The best bet may be to wait until fall and see what iCloud offers!
    Sharing your screen can be accomplished a few different ways. You can have two iChat accounts set up, and have one logged in on each computer, and then use iChat's screen share feature. The other way is to go to System Preferences, Sharing, and then check the box next to Screen Sharing. You may have to adjust some of the settings in there, but give that a shot.

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

  • Using Icloud with Outlook 2007 and windows 7, I cannot get my calendar to list the scheduled appointments as it used to do before I cloud.  The to do bar just shows no upcoming appointments when my calendar is filled with them.  How do I fix this

    Since using ICloud with Office 2007 and Windows 7, the to-do-list will not show any appointments.  If has the notation that no appointments are available?  My calendar is full of appointments.  How do I correct this?

    I don't have a password on my phone. After attaching the phone to the Windows 7 computer, my DCIM folder is always empty. Here's the solution:  While the phone is plugged in to the computer, pick it up and select the Photos application. A dialog box appears and asks if you trust this computer. Obviously, select the "Trust" option. Then the photos will download. If you have a password on your phone, I'm guessing you have to enter it before you open the photo application.
