i can not see my icloud in system preferences

You must be running Lion inorder to get the iCloud preference pane:
Minimum operating system requirements
You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
iOS 5*
Mac
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
PC
Microsoft Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
* Note: Although you can use iOS 5 and OS X Lion as noted above, you will not be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.
The above is from this Apple document: iCloud: System requirements

  • I just went from OS 10.6 to 10.8. The arrow button is gone from the scrollbar. I do not see the option in "Systems Preference" any more. Am I missing something. If it is gone, is Apple going to bring it back?

  • Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID?  I may have a solution.
    When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in.  On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out). 
    Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code). 
    To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords".  These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not.  This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
    This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!).  Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled.  Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
    Hopefully this may solve yours

  • I can't log into iCloud using system preferences using Apple Id

    Hello comunity: I describe the problem as follows (sorry for my english, not a native speaker):
    Background: Macbook air OS X 10.9 Mavericks (just updated), but changed my Apple ID just after that.
    -When I try to log into Icloud through System Preferences, and write my Apple ID and password, it says "the login keychain is not found" and then it tells me that the server is down and can´t connect. (I have verified my Apple ID and password and can login through the website with no problem, and I have verified that the Icloud server is fine).
    -It won´t let me go any further than that, It means I cant use Icloud in my Mac. I can access to Icloud online, but when online I don´t see my mac but I can see my Iphone and Ipad 2.
    -I have read many (a lot really) about keychains and similar problems and cant find the solution.
    I would appreciate your help!
    PD: Other information that might be related: When entering to First Aid Keychain, I provide my password and when I hit "repair" it will tell me "...library/keychains/login.keychain is not a valid keychain file and that repair stopped unexpectedly"

    I think that  is likely why you're having the problems with signing in. My keychain has been added to over many years. It has email addresses from 1997. I don't know how to clean that up. It would be nice if Apple redesigned Keychain Access to be something that actually allowed you to envisage their network. That's what bothered me about iCloud Keychain. There are so many places to change settings, type a password, and think about what that setting means. Knowledgable people who can manage a network from the Terminal, good for you. I want to launch software that finds all servers, and paints a good connection green and trouble yellow, etc. Hover your mouse over a red drive, it tells you the password needs. I think this is good enough implementation, except it is difficult for people who've never had a cryptography class to get a good idea of what their network topography is. Tell me, can you log on to iCloud.com on Safari?
    I'll hang around here to see if somebody else gives a suggestion. Sorry I can't do more.

  • Can't login to iCloud via System Preferences

    I am trying to login to iCloud through System Preferences but each time I get a message saying  "You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again".
    I've read about moving the iCloud folder from the Application Support folder, to the desktop, which didn't help.
    Does anyone have the same issue since upgrading to Yosemite?

    Reset key chain DID NOT, work for me, and I renamed the backup it made back to the original. (Note to others: I may have had permissions or other issues due to the way I upgraded to Mountain Lion by creating a new user and moving things over manually.)
    HERE IS HOW I FIXED IT: (I don't know what the ramifications are, so this will make you a backup too.)
    I threw away my Library > Application Support > iCloud folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library which will appear in the menu.
    Navigate to Library > Application Support and option-drag the iCloud folder to your desktop (that will make a copy).
    Now drag the iCloud folder that is in Library > Application Support to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
    Then try entering your info in the Preference Panel again.

  • HT204053 I have installed the latest version of Apple but still can't see ICloud in System Preferences- how can I fix this?

    I have installed the latest version of Apple but still can't see ICloud in System Preferences- how can I fix this?

    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
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

  • I can't see my icloud files

    Hi,
    I get a Macbook Air and I have keynote and pages. I' m using my iCloud credentials, but i can't access to my files on iCloud.
    When I access through my iPad or my mac mini, I do can see and access to my keynotes, pages and numbers through the apps (both, ipad and mac)
    but when I try to do the same on my macbook air, I can't see my iCloud files. And I can't upload new files either on my macbook air.
    My macbook air has OS X 10.9.4 
    My Keynote 6.2 (1861)
    Pages 5.2 (1860)
    On my iCloud settings everything is ok, see my attachment.
    I hope you can help me, it's really hard to work this way
    thanks

    I do not use iCloud and would never recommend doing so, least of all its impressive ability to lose files.
    I suggest using Dropbox, there are many other file transfer applications that do an equal job,  but all my clients use Dropbox and we have never had issues sending and receiving files.

    I created a folder in my photostream on my iphone but I can not see the folder on my iPad 1.  My wife does see the folder on her iPad 3.  Is there anything I can do for my older iPad?

    If you created an album containing some of your photo stream photos, this will not be shared using photo stream.  If you want to share a subset of your photos, create a shared photo stream and share it with your wife, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

  • Have a New ipad and a iphone 4S, can NOT see my ipnone calender on ipad? why?

    i have had my iphone 4S for a year now and LOVE IT, so over my BB. I recently got the new ipad. I LOVE IT!! BUT, i thought my icould worked syncing my phone and the ipad but i can not see my calender from my phone to my ipad, VERY ANNOYING!!! my contacts went to my ipad and my pictures also. what am i doing that i cant see my calender?
    also? keep getting a message on phone and ipad "not enough storage, this iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. You can manage your stroate in settings",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so i need more gigs?
    thanks!! xoxo, SonoMama80

        Hello SonoMama80!
    I love, love, love my Apple products too! It's so nice to pick up either device and have your info at your finger tips! You mentioned that the iCloud is stating you do not have enough storage. This sounds the calendar issue is related to that. If there is not enough storage on the iCloud, you will not be able to sync all the info between devices. You can either buy new storage, or remove the syncing of another app. To manage your storage, go to Settings>iCloud. There you can turn on and off sync options. I would also check to make sure the calendar sync is set to "on." You can also scroll down to "Storage and Backup" it will then allow you to purchase more storage.
    Let us know if you need additional help!

  • I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad

    I can not see my albums artwork only on my iPad! What should I do?

    Hello JChalups,
    It sounds like your phone has calendars that your iPad no longer shows. First verify that the same calendars that are on your phone are stored in iCloud by checking the calendar at http://www.icloud.com. I would use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article on your iPad. If not, then use it on your iPhone instead:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
