HT203796 I don't have the iCloud icon in "SYSTEM PREFERENCES" , any ideas?

I could synchronize my iPad with my Mac Book Pro before replacing the hard drive and recoveing data from my Carbonite backup.
Now I don't see the iCloud icon in SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
Is this a common occurence?

Welcome to the Apple Community alapan.
Which operating system are you now using, OSX 10.6 and earlier do not have iCloud.

  • I have the ICloud icon.  When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account.  How do I get an an Icloud account?

    I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program.  When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account.  How do I get an an Icloud account?

    You can't create an iCloud account on your PC.  You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher).  After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

    in my Imac I don't see the icloud icon, still have the mobile me and it doesn't allowe me to change that, what do i do please.

    Please always state your operating system when you have a question. Lion 10.7.2 minimum is required for iCloud; the Preference pane does not appear in earlier systems.

  • HT204053 I don't have an icloud icon on my mac. how do I set-up? I did the upgrade to mountain lion.

    If I don't have an icloud icon on my mac systems preferences. how do I set-up icloud? I did the upgrade to mountain lion.

    Then you haven't upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    Check inside your /Applications folder for something like "OS X Mountain Lion Installer" and double click it.  If the file doesn't exist, you'll have to downloaded/buy it from the app store.
    If you did make the purchase already, open the app store (under the apple >> app store) and then click Purchases at the top of the app store window.  It will ask for your apple id and password.  Do you see Mountain Lion listed?  If so, then download it.  If not, click on Featured and look for mountain lion in the side bar on the right and you'll have to buy it.

  • I don't seem to have the icloud icon on my ipad, making it difficult to access my account. Should it be there?

    I don't seem to have the icloud icon on my ipad, making it difficult to access my account. Should it be there? I wonder if I deleted at some point, if so can I get it back? Just really want to check if the account is backing up successfully but really difficult to get on it through Apple, in fact near impossible.

    If you want to see the current backup or document names stored on iCloud go to Settings > iCloud > Manage Storage.
    If you want to view http://icloud.com on your iPad the same way as shown on a Mac use an iPad browser that allows changing its browser ID like the iCab browser.

  • HT201318 I'm trying to upgrade my icloud storage but don't have an icloud icon in my settings...only a mobile me icon that no longer functions..Please tell me what I should do! Kanchor

    I'm trying to upgrade my icloud storage but don't have an icloud icon in my settings...only a mobileme icon...What should I do?

    iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements 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
    Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • How come I don't have the music icon on my store, so that I can't syncronise music but only apps?

    How come I don't have the music icon in my store, so that I can't syncronise music but only apps & books with Icloud?

    Airtunes? I assume you mean iTunes match? The little cloud symbols?
    If so, you need to make sure it is turned on in your phone and in your computer.

    You cannot revert back to a previous iOS version.
    Of the apps you've mentioned, here are their sizes my iPhone 5 under iOS 8.1.2 as reported under Settings/General/Usage/Manage Storage:
    Podcasts: 8.4 MB
    iBooks: 1.1 MB
    Health: 148 KB
    I'm curious where you got the values of "approx 350 Mb each"? These apps are now embedded into iOS and AFAIK, their app sizes are not reported as user-downloaded apps are.

    I don't have the download icon when i open safari?

    Steven,
    Go to Safari>Preferences...>General> and set "Remove download list items: to "Manually."
    If that setting is "Upon Successful Download" the Downloads icon only appears during the download.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you haven't done so already you need to migrate your mail account to iCloud first and do so IMMEDIATELY at the website Move
    Then
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
