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.

  • HT204053 I don't have an iCloud icon in my System preferences, can't find it in my MacBook Pro?

    I would like to use iCloud on my MacBook pro and iPad and iPhone. I am new to the apple systems, my computer is used and I can not find the iCloud icon under the System Preferences. What do 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.

  • I just bought a new iMac and am new to the desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11,2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so what?

    Just check in with this link when ML is released for instructions on how to claim your upgrade.

  • I have a MacPro from 2007 and am wondering if there is any way I can upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    I have a MacPro from 2007 and am wondering if there is any way I can upgrade to Mountain Lion. I get a message that it can't be upgraded even though I have downloaded it.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    What gumsie posted is correct - if it is't compatible, normally it won't download.

  • I don't have a iCloud icon on my devise I need to update to get my music that I purchased from iTunes back

    I don't have a cloud icon on my ipad or iphone

    There is no iCloud icon because iCloud is a service, not an app.  You create an iCloud account by going to Settings>iCloud, signing in with your Apple ID and turning on the data you wish to sync with iCloud.
    However, you don't need an iCloud account to redownload your music from iCloud.  It downloads from the iTunes store, not from a personal iCloud account.  This article explains how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

  • 10.7.5 on 2008 white Macbook, but there is no iCloud icon in System Preferences. how do i set up iCloud?

    my friend has a white 2008 Macbook running 10.7.5.  i'm trying to set up iCloud for her so she can sync Calendars etc. with her iPhone.  however, there is no icon for iCloud showing up in System Preferences; MobileMe shows up instead.  how can i set up iCloud on this machine?
    she does not want to install Mavericks etc. as this would slow her Macbook down to a crawl (if it even supports Mavericks...)
    many thanks!

    With Lion you  can boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system with little down time. OS X: About OS X Recovery

  • So is it just me, or is Mavericks a bust?  My MBP runs way hotter now. I don't have time for trial and error solutions. Is Apple offering a way to downgrade back to Mountain lion? I want out of Mavericks ASAP.

    So is it just me, or is Mavericks a bust?  My MBP runs much hotter since the upgrade. Why do I need ot sit around watching Activity Monitor, manually controlling my fans, and deleting extensions that I enjoy using. Don't even get me started on the Quicktime/Mov issues. I had none of these issues on Mountian Lion. Searching these forums, I see it's not just me. Why would Apple release a new system w/o peoperly testing it on MBPs?
    I don't have time for trial and error solutions. I've tried the obvious ones. No help. Is Apple offering a way to downgrade back to Mountain lion?  Or better yet, a Mavericks update that adresses these problems? As of now, I want out of Mavericks ASAP.
    My processor is 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7.
    8 GB 1600 MHZ DDR3 memory.
    13inch MBP purchased ust over a year ago- 1-13.

    Nope, it'a not just me, see above. And yup- I'm backed up, But I don't own a Mountain lion install disc. That's why I was posting here in the first place. Thanks
    Nobody owns a ML install disc - ML was only ever distributed as a download from the Mac App Store.
    If you have a Time Machine backup, you can boot into recovery mode and restore from your Moutain Lion TM backup volume.  If you have a system clone, then you can boot from the clone, and just clone ML back onto your internal drive.
    Going back to your previous installation from a backup should be trivially simply if you have the backup in hand.

  • I cannot set-up subfolders in my inbox using Mountain Lion. I have several from before the upgrade to Mountain Lion that I created with no problem.

    I cannot set-up any subfolder in my inbox. I am using Mountain Lion. I had no problem doing this in the past. It seems that I'm limited to the high level mailboxes - gmail, On My Mac, iCloud - are my only options in clicking through the create mailbox set-up steps. I can create subfolder in any root level mailbo or subdirectories. I've tried creating a subfolder under the Gmail mailbox and dragging it to the inbox but that doesn't work either. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

    Connect the new hybrid drive to your MBP.  Start up your MBP holding the OPTION key, the two HDD icons will appear.  Select the 'restore' icon on the right.  When you get to the menu where you have 4 options, select Disk Utility.  Format the drive and then you can use the option of restoring it from Time Machine.
    Ciao.

  • I have a 41/2 year old MacBook running Snow Leopard 10.6.  Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion on this machine?

    Can I updgrade an old Macbook to Mountain Lion so I can put stuff in iCloud?  I am currently running Snow Leopard but I've been told this machine will not upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion.

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • I always want google classic, but sometimes i get google beta or google security (or whatever, can't remember its name) when i don't want it. why does this happen and how can i set google classic as the default?

    google is my default on the home page. But when i ask for google or simply open firefox, i sometimes get google beta or google security (or whatever its name is) instead of google classic. I just want google classic. How can i set it as my default. (I have a desk top computer, use firefox, and this never happens.)

    Why Apple can't undo its mistake?
    Whose mistake? The source of the problem:
    I was required to enter my recovery key. Now, there begins that huge flaw. I've forgotten it (I know it was my responsibility to remember it).
    If you had just taken the simple steps of storing your recovery key as Apple tells you to when you set it up, none of this would've happened.
    As it clearly states in the FAQ on 2-step verification: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    After you turn it on, there will be no way for anyone to access and manage your account at My Apple ID other than by using your password, verification codes sent your trusted devices, or your Recovery Key. You must be responsible for:
    Remembering your password.
    Keeping your trusted devices physically secure.
    Keeping your Recovery Key in a safe place.
    If you lose access to two of these three items at the same time, you could be locked out of your Apple ID account permanently.
    In addition, with two-step verification turned on, only you can reset your password, manage your trusted devices, or create a new recovery key.
    Apple Support can help you with other aspects of your service, but they will not be able to update or recover these three things on your behalf.
    If you aren't responsible enough to do that, you should not have turned the optional security feature on.
    This is your fault, not Apple's.
