I am missing something in integrating iMac w/ iCloud. Plz help.

I am trying to get Photo Stream up and running on my iMac, iPhone, and iPad, but have run into trouble. I have upgraded iPhoto to 9.2. I have 10.7.3. I am in the Cloud (I have the email, contacts, Find my Phone, calendar, and iWork icons). I go to the iMac setup step that starts with the Photo Stream splash screen that says "No, Thanks. Turn on Photo Stream".
I click "Turn on Photo Stream" and get the iCloud splash screen that has the "Move to iCloud" button.
I click on that and get the Find My Phone map and box where I enter in my password. I enter that and get the grey textured screen that says to use the app, go to iCloud.com
I click "Go to iCloud.com" and see the light blue map and am told to enter my password AGAIN. I do and my devices are located (this wasn't the goal, as I HAVE my devices).
I click on the cloud next to "My Devices" and I see my 5 icons (mail, contacts, calendar, find my phone, and iWork), but no sunflower photo stream icon.
WHAT AM I MISSING???????

I went to Sys Pref. > iCloud.
Sys. Pref. changes from the Show All view to the iCloud splash IN Sys. Pref. and has the button "Move to iCloud", which I pushed.
I so appreciate your help, Winston Churchill, and yours, Csound 1, but as I have copied above, I HAVE tried that. Pardon, my frustration at this point, but I have tried every way to H*l! I can see this calls for a phone chat. Thanks anyway.

    Hey everyone, so I turned off my iMac two days ago (not a hard boot, I clicked on the apple logo top left corner then clicked Shutdown.) because I was really busy and not going to be home a lot.

    You cannot use iCloud Storage to suppliment your iPad. It doesn't work that way.

  • Can't upgrade to Tiger on my iMac... please help!

    I've purchased Tiger and tried to upgrade onto my iMac, which currently runs on OSX 10.2.8
    I load the DVD into the DVD drive and all runs well, until right at the end, when it says its met an error in the upgrade, and you're prompted to restart and the upgrade process starts all over again.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

  • My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio book it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something ? What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.

    Try designating a System Photo Library. Then your apps will use that.

  • I have just set up Itunes match on my new iMac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live. Am I missing something?

    Hi
    I have just set up itunes match on my new imac. It is saying I can access all my 9000 songs but only the playlist tab is live - I can't access albums or songs. Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I do not understand your problem. iTunes Match does not change the way iTunes looks. When match process is complete, the match screen tells you how much music you have in the cloud.
    Across the top of screen you have options to select songs, albums, artist, composers etc.
    Suggest that from main menu, select view>show sidebar.

  • Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps).  Seriously?!?!?!?!!   What are my alternatives?

    Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (apparently because they are PowerPC apps).  Seriously?!?!?!?!!   What are my alternatives?

    Hi Mary and Matthew
    You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
    You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
    I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

  • I do not have "save as" listed on my file menu. Am I missing something?

    I am missing the "save as" command on my toolbar in Pages. Therefore I am not able to save an existing document with a different name. Any suggestions?

    Yes, you missed something.
    There are about ten threads already open with quite the same question.
    Save As… no longer exists.
    You missed also that Pages User Guide is not delivered to help helpers to help you.
    It's also for you !

  • Am I missing something about Keynote video clips??

    Okay, I had a devil of a time figuring out how to get video clips into Keynote. Here's what seems to work: convert the clip to .m4v, add it to iPhoto, sync with the iPad and do an import in Keynote and then the video file will show up in the Media tab. However, when I do this, none of my clips had titles! So I can't tell one clip from another except by playing them. Am I missing something here?
    Also, when I tried importing the whole Keynote with the video clips from my iMac, the video clips were stripped out. Has anyone had better success? If so, how???

    Toad, you are incorrect...
    However it is a PIA to get it to work.
    In very un-Apple-like fashion, it is a several step, unintuitive process that requires another program. Luckily a free program...
    1. Convert your file with Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) and use the iPad profile. (P.S. My original .mov file needed to be converted to work on iPad. The built-in "Create iPad or Apple TV version" function in iTunes would not work for me. I received a "The video is already in the correct format" message. Annoying...)
    2. Put the converted file into a folder
    3. With your iPad connected to your computer, go to iTunes and select the "Photos" tab on your iPad.
    4. IN the "Sync Photos From:" drop down box choose "Select folder" and select the folder that contains your video.
    5. Check the "Include Videos" check box.
    6. Hit the "Sync" button
    7. Now the video will be available in Keynote. No desktop version required...
    P.S. I am a PC... Not a Mac.

  • I set up library in Iluustrator but can't access it in In Design - am I missing something?

    I love the fact I can sort all my relevant assets, logos, colour, fonts etc into the Library in Illustrator but I want to work in InDesign too but I can't open the library in Indesign.
    Have I missed something ?

    Apparently the answer is no. This really is poor for a set of applications that are supposed to be integrated. Come on Adobe get your act together, you have libraries in Indesign that are different to those in illustrator and photoshop?

  • Snow leopard install DVD mystery: Am I missing something?

    Okay, I have a brand new iMac, three days in my ownership. After installing software via DVDs and downloads, resolving a few issues, etc, I'm getting an error message - a minor item doesn't load. I run Disk Utility, which points me to a repair that has to be conducted by booting off the Install 1 dsik. No big deal. So I boot off my 10.6.2 Install 1 disk which came with the computer, and all it gives me is a Hardware Test. No option to boot off the DVD. I run the Hardware test anyway, and it still gives me no option to Boot off the DVD. I repeat this with Install Disk 2 and get the Hardware Test again. Same deal.
    If I start normally off the hard drive with Install Disk 1 in the superdrive, I get the correct install display, but that's not booting off the disk itself.
    Am I missing something, doing some wrong, or do I have a bad Install Disk?

    Hi K.T
    The problem on the Install Disk 1 is that it doesn't give me access to anything but the Hardware Test. It doesn't let me get as far as DU or the OS Install screens. It just gives me the choice to run the Hardware Test, or to Shutdown or Restart.
    Of all the Macs I have owned, this is the first Install Disk that doesn't give me a choice between accessing the HD or (re)Installing the O, or running DU.

  • HT4942 Am i missing something here?

    Am i missing something here?  I want to save files on my iMac and have them available on my iPad without having to manually upload or drag and drop to iWork on iCloud through Safari - can this be done?

    Roger,
    Thank you - I asked the question in an Apple Store yesterday and they told me that as long as I had Documents and Data selected (iCloud, System Preferences) I could store files on my mac and they'd automatically appear on iCloud for sussequent editing on my iPad.  I made it clear I was interested in iWork files not just photos or music.......so I guess they were incorrect!  I'll await Mountain Lion - many thanks.

  • Just got a new hard drive w system X 10 8 2 - don't see my hard disk on the desktop - is this new or am I missing something?

    Hi, just had to get a new hard drive for my Imac.  Installed Mountain Lion 1 8 2 - I do not see my hard disk on the desktop.  Is this new?  or am I missing something?

  • I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
    My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.
