HT1430 how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace

how do i log off icloud on my mac book air? It's slowed the MBA to snail's pace. I have no reason to use icloud on MBA. I have an iphone that's functional & MBA's only a wordprocessor network'd to other machines & server. iclould serves NO FUNCTION on MBA. I have tried to remove it but have been unable to "log out".

Icloud is a web based service.  If you are not actively using it, then it has no effect on your MBA.

  • How do i access data in my iCloud via my mac book air, nothing appears under the manage tab however it says i have consumed all data

    I am trying to back up some documents in my icloud however i cannot seem to figure out how to store data there and also how to access the data that is there as it is saying i have used 499 out of 5GB.  I bought additional data storage space yesterday thinking that this was the issue however it now says I have used 14.99 out of 15. 
    I have tried to view the content by clicking manage....all that appears is
    25KB mail
    0 backups
    however there is no further information. 
    Pls help so frustrating. 

    Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
    Here is how to do this:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
    Click the Disks tab below the icons
    Click Erase
    The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
    Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
    Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

  • How do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig how?

    how do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig ??? or wat files can i delete

    Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
    You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way.  Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
    Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model.

  • Do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

    do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

    I'm afraid so. 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 Mavericks, 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
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks 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

    Without office installer dvd: visit office.microsoft.com, go to Store, and then select Office Products. Download/purchase what you need.
    If you have the office installer dvd already, and another Mac with a dvd drive neearby, the other Mac (with DVD Sharing enabled) can host the dvd and you can access it from your macbook air using Remote Disc. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US

  • How do I get i photo on my mac book air

    I have a 2010 Mac Book Air 10.7.5 and I recently had to wipe the whole computer clean. When I got my computer back the iPhoto was missing. I can't find it on the hard drive, in applications, etc.  Does anyone know how I can get it back?

    Yes.
    If you purchased iPhoto from the Mac App Store, it will be available for you to download under "Purchases". Sign in using the Apple ID you used to purchase or "accept" iPhoto.
    If you did not purchase iMovie from the Mac App Store, restore it from Time Machine, assuming you use Time Machine. From the Time Machine icon, "Enter Time Machine" and look for it in Applications.

  • How do I turn off iCloud so that my iMessages aren't shared with the other devices on my account

    When I send a message on iMessage on my iPod touch, it comes up on the family iPad. How do I configure the iCloud settings so this doesn't happen? Thanks

    Either use different icloud IDs (accounts) on each device, or on the iPad, turn off iMessage (Settings>Messages).  Or use a different Send & Receive address (same settings page).

  • My mac book air is stuck on the log in page. When I type in the correct password, nothing happens. How can I get into my laptop??

    I Have the latest iOS installment I believe. I don't know what is causing the problem as it was working perfectly last night! When I type in an incorrect password, the laptop recognizes that it is incorrect and denies me access. But when I type in the correct password nothing happens. I've turned the computer on and off and tried connecting to power also.

    Really?
    How about:  MacBook Air
    or:  OS X Mavericks

  • Wonderful Rainbow Wheel when setting up icloud account on mac book air

    I am trying to set up a new icloud email account on my MacBook Air, I am using latest software, but i am getting the wonderful rainbow wheel, it is taking an extremely long time to set up and then once it is set up it can not check for mail because it is not filling in the incoming mail server, nor can i manually input.
    I would think apples own mail program would work seemlessly on their own computer but it seems not.
    Any advice?

    this is what i am gettting after it does auto setup, but i can not insert anything into the incoming mail server space
