Because you meet the minimum software requirements on your PC and not on your Mac
Is there any way to use it wothout having to pay?
No - not if you do not meet the minimum requirements
see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ for set up instructions and minimum requirements for different features

  • Can I download Keynote for free to ipad if I have it on my Macbook?

    Can I download Keynote for free to ipad if I have it on my Macbook?

    No, there are two different applications, one for Mac and one for iOS. They are priced and purchased separately, therefore if you have the Mac app, you do not qualify for a free iOS app. The iOS app is a paid purchase, unless you have bought an iPad in the last year.

    I have a router for my PC. Can I use this with a Macbook or do I need to buy hardware?

    Your answer confused me for a second (a generic router doesn't need an adaptor for Macs to use) and then it dawned on me you were referring to the enet adaptor the MBA requires

  • I need Excel for Mac. Can I get this for free somewhere?

    I have Tiger, not sure if that makes any difference. I need Excel to check my work schedule but it would be a real pain to have to buy it.
    Mac version for FREE anywhere?

    NeoOffice (freeware) is equivalent to Microsoft Office. It can open Excel files, Word files & PowerPoint files. You can also create these types of files that can be opened by PC users.

    Why is the photostream option in iCloud still shaded grey (unable to click on it)?

    What version of iPhoto and of the OS? In the system preferences have you logged into iCloud and clicked PhotoStream?

  • Why do i constantly get cut off on calls.  I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5.  When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone?  is there an App for that !!

    Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

  • HT202794 Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

  • I purchased pages for my imac can i download this for i ipad mini free of charge?

    I purchased pages for my Imac can i download this for my ipad mini free of charge?

    Correct. To do it, your Mac must be running Mountain Lion and Pages '09 with the most recent version. To check the OS X version you have, open  > About this Mac, and check the version. If it's 10.8, you are running Mountain Lion. Then, you just have to open System Preferences > iCloud, and tick "Documents and Data".
    If you aren't running Mountain Lion, you can still share documents between the iPad and the Mac, you can access to the documents created in the iPad in http://www.icloud.com, logging in with your Apple ID, and selecting iWork. Also, you can upload documents from the computer

  • Can I "do" Flex for free?

    Excuse if I have posted this in the wrong area... I am
    looking over all the Flex info and am a bit confused on
    a) all the pieces involved to "do" Flex, and
    b) what is free and what is going to cost big $$$.
    I see there is an express (dumbed-down?) version of the
    Eclipse IDE tool which appears to be free. And some components that
    are free (for any use?) if they are limited to a single CPU . And I
    also see there is a Flex server for $20,000! So if I wanted to
    create an internal flex app for my small business, is that possible
    for free? What if I wanted to create an app for our
    "outward-facing" web site for our clients? and what if I wanted to
    create a Flex app for another client for their web site? I guess I
    am really asking what kind of $$$ would it cost to Live in Flex,
    and if this is more for enterprise budgets and not small shops or
    free lance developers.
    Thanks!

    Hey Man,
    I hear you it can be a bit confusing. So lets break it down a
    bit. There are several flex products and each has a couple
    versions. So the first one is the Flex 2 SDK. This is freely
    available and includes all the framework files and a command line
    compiler. This allows you to use notepad or any other text editor
    to write your mxml and as code and compile it. This is completly
    free on non-restrictice of what you do with the swf you create.
    However tools are a big part of any development language so
    the next product is Flex Builder 2. Flex Builder (FB) is an IDE
    (Integrated Development Environment) that has all sorts of tools
    for writing your code including a visual wysiwyg editor for your
    flex application. Its has a built in debugger and lots of features.
    Flex Builder 2 costs $499.
    Both the flex sdk and flex builder allow you to create flex 2
    swf applications which you can deploy to as many servers as you
    like, they get uploaded just like a swf made in the Flash 8 IDE..
    Or heck sell them at your discretion (the swf not the sdk or
    flexbuilder ). With both of these you can communicate with a
    backend server using RPC (remote procedure call) invocations. These
    can be done over http using the httpService, soap using webService,
    and AMF using RemoteObject to talk to ColdFusion.
    Then next peice of the software puzzle is the Charting
    Components. By themselves I think they are around 300 dollars. but
    You can also buy them bundled with flex builder and get both
    products for (I think) around 50 less than buying them seperate.
    The last peice is the Flex Data Services. This is a J2EE
    server and allows for exceptional functionality including
    messaging, colloaboration, and data syncronization. There is a free
    version of this application taht is limited to 1 cpu servers and
    100 connections. This product is called FDS Express. Then there is
    the full version of this server that costs in the range ow $20,000.
    So as you see there are a couple routes you can take to use
    Flex for free, but to get the "Enterprise" features and tooling you
    will need to shell out a little dow. Depending on what you are
    looking for, it could be alot of dow :)
    Hope that helps,
