HT204053 how do I get icloud icon on my macbook pro? Still says mobile me

I have a new iphone and am trying to sync my ical on my macbook pro with the ical on the phone using icloud. I have the icloud turned on the iphone. The problem is that my computer has mobileme under applications and I can't figure out how to put icloud onto my computer.  Ideas?

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (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.
You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To make proper use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Leopard or Snow Leopard, 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 listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
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

  • How do I get icloud on a 2010 MacBook Pro?

    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and when I update my system preferences I don't get Icloud?  How do I install/download icloud?

    Open the Mac App Store. Icon for it is in the Dock.
    Once the App store is open search for Mavericks. That is IF your Mac can run Mavericks. If not you might be able to install Lion which you would first need to buy from the Apple Online Store, Link to that store is at the top of this forum page.

  • HT204053 How do i get icloud in my system preferences? Currently has mobile me.

    Ive done a system update and still no icloud in my system preferences, just mobile me.

    iCloud requires Lion (10.7.2) or greater, you never mentioned your version of OSX but, at a guess I would say that you have Snow Leopard (10.6)
    Upgrade to the current version of OSX, 10.8.2.

    How do I get Icloud icon on my macAir

    If you mean in System Preferences, you run the Mac OS X 10.7.2 or newer combo updater, installing Mac OS X 10.6 from a DVD or Mac OS X 10.7 from the Mac App Store or an USB thumbdrive if needed.

  • How do I use iCloud to backup my Macbook Pro?

    How do I use iCloud to backup my Macbook Pro?

    Hi Rob
    It sounds like my problem is the same as yours..... Sorry, but I'm a bit of an iPad dummy so am writing for some more clarification...
    My problem is..... I am away from home and only travelling with my iPad, however we have sold our house and my bigpond email address on my iPad is getting clogged with all the solicitors stuff etc, so I really need these emails for my files...
    I want to be able to backup these up (so that I can retrieve them later to print out and file) and delete them from my iPad...
    I've just created an iCloud email account (I think) is this what you did? So should I forward all my emails to this iCloud email account? And will I be able to retrieve them later?
    I hope you login here to see my question.....
    Thanks Janet

  • How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro Spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?

    Now I'm confused. This is the one Crucial told me to get:
    CT3309356 - 4GB DDR3 PC3-8500 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.35V 512Meg x 64
    $45.99
    Also what do you mean that actual memory is 16GB but with Apple it's 8?
    When I go to the "About this Mac" it says Memory 4G 1067 MHz DDR3, then when I go to System Report it says
     Memory Slot
    Bank 0/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Bank 1/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Sorry I'm clueless. Just don't want to buy something that messes up my machine more than it already is.
    The Crucial site appears to have recommended the correct spec 4gB RAM stick for your model. Please note that you will need to remove the existing sticks of RAM to install new, so you will need 2x4gB to get to 8gB.
    When your model of computer was designed/built, it was tested with readily available 2x4gB (8gB). After release RAM retailers have tested it with higher amounts, and Apple didn't update their quoted specs.

    You mean you just bought a game though iTunes thinking it was for your MacBook Pro.

    You don't. You can go to Apple menu > App Store to purchase games for your MacBook.
    or get my money back.

  • How do i get microsoft excel on my macbook pro?

    hi, on my ipad/iphone i have docstogo which i use for my microsoft excel work, but what do i need to use to do the microsoft excel work on my new macbook pro? please help!
    thanks xx

    That will work to import Excel spreadsheets but you asked "how do i get microsoft excel on my macbook pro?". The answer remains, install Excel.
    LibreOffice is a good alternative to MS Office but it is not 100% compatible. So if you are exporting spreadsheets from LibreOffice for others to import to Excel, be aware that the export may not be 100% as you intended.

    how do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you use iMessage, you can use it in your Mac if you want. OS X Mountain Lion includes Messages, that allows you to use iMessage.
    First, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If so, open  > About this Mac, and see what OS X version you have:
    10.5 or older: you have to upgrade first to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    10.6 or 10.7: open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    10.8: you are already using OS X Mountain Lion, so open the Messages app.
    While OS X Mountain Lion is being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you aren't referring to iMessage, you can't send text messages in your computer

    I can't send or get iCloud email on my macbook pro.

    If you migrated from MobileMe, try deleting the e-mail account in your mail preferences and adding it back again. You will only be required to enter your password and the ID, the setup should add the correct settings and hopefully this will resolve your problem.
