  • I cannot find icloud on my mac.  I have looked under system preferences  but it doesn't show up.

    Where do I find icloud on my mac?  I have looked under system preferences but it isn't there.  I thought I had the latest software and my iphone has icloud on it.  Now do I get it on my mac so they will talk to each other.  Can't sync calendar.

    I'm not running OSX Lion 10.7.2.  I guess that's not a free download?

  • I have updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows the old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new ID name? Can anyone help?

    I've updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows my old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new Apple ID?

    Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
    If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
    If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing.

    Lion is required to see the iCloud Preference Pane: this is an upgrade, not an update, and has to be paid for. If you want to install Lion, go to the Mac App Store and purchase and download it there ($29.99).
    First check that your Mac meets the requirements for Lion:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor

  • HT204053 Although I have iCloud, my system preferences still show Mobile.me.  I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password.  How do I do it?

    Although I can access iCloud, my system preferences on my iMac still show Mobile.me.  I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password to be consistent with my Apple ID and password.  How do I do it?

    you need to be running OSX 10.7 or 10.8 to use iCloud i believe. It shows you are using 10.6.8 which doesn't support iCloud.

  • HT204053 There is no icon that says iCloud under system preference.  What should I do?

    I have a Mac OS X and there is no update for it.  So when I went to iCloud my stuff, I go onto system preference and there is no icon under Internet and Wireless that says iCloud.  Instead, there is Mobile Me, Network, Bluetooth and Sharing. 
    What should I do next?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need OSX 10.7.2 or better for iCloud! which OS do you have.

  • HT204085 i dont have icloud on my mac how do i add to mac?

    <Email Edited By Host>

    iCloud on your Mac requires OS X 10.7.5 or higher.  If your Mac has this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID (or your Apple ID if you don't have an iCloud account yet), and check the data you want to sync with iCloud.

  • HT204053 From MobileMe to ICloud; My Mac doesn't have ICloud in the 'Preference" list as instructed

    So, it isn't listed...and very cumbersome to read email new...and all old are under MobileMe that isn't online... HUGH?  User friendliness was missed on this mandatory change. Now what does one do?
    I have spent hours trying to figure it out~!   This seems to be Microsoft now~!  ANY IDEAS?

    You have Snow Leopard or early. You must upgrade to Lion to have iCloud

  • I don't see icloud as an option under system preferences

    I don't see icloud under system preferences and this is the first step in all directions to turn on photo stream on the macbook.  Any ideas?  Right now my pictures are stuck on my iphone and when i connect via wire it says the pictures cant be uploaded because of a  problem with a picture.  It does not tell me which picture or what the problem is.  Any ideas what the problem may be and how to fix it so that I can at east upload photos with he USB connector?  Thanks!

    You must be running 10.7.2 or later for iCloud.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

    Software updates don't upgrade your current operating system to a new one, you have to purchase a newer operting system if you want one.
    If you want iCloud, first you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred), then you can download Lion from the app store.

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure how to connect to the monitor as the only ports available on this model mac are Thunderbolt. The mini display to display cable supplied doesn't seem to work out of the TB port. Do I need to use a Thunderbolt cable + an adaptor?
