How do I set up icloud on my macand my ipad ?

Your signature says you are running 10.6.5: this is not compatible with iCloud. The minimum requirement is Lion 10.7.2; the preference pane does not appear on earlier systems.
You can set up iCloud on your iPad as long as it's running iOS5 or 6:
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
You are severely limited in what you can do in Snow Leopard: you should update to 10.6.8, and then the situation is described in this page:

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep

I no longer have access to my icloud email and don't know the answers to my security questions. Does anyone know how to work around this to reset my icloud ID without losing my info? I haven't backed up in a year because of this.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

Hi!
I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

Don't change your story now. You did not say through Apple, you first gave a link to this site,
http://www.java.com/en/download/apple.jsp
You said, "Go there and download the latest version of Java"
that plainly says,
"Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac."
This corroborates me saying that Java for Mac OS 10.6 is done through Software Update, no where else.
If any Mac OS 10.6 user does not have Java on their Mac, they get it from Apple just as the link you provided shows it is from Apple. Not Oracle. You have provided the evidence that plainly contradicts yourself.
This is your second link that is to Apple.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
Just to go over this again. Software Update not only updates Java to the latest, but if Java does not exist at all, SU will install it from scratch. And in doing so will be the latest version.
Providing a link to Oracle's site is useless information that does not get Java installed on a Mac running 10.6.

I can't set up icloud on my older macbook. The systems preferences has only "mobile me". I have lots of files on this computer that I want to transfer.

How do you set up icloud on an older macbook? It is full of files that I want to keep. The system preferences menu does not have icloud. It has mobile me. Do I have to upgrade the operating system to, say, mountain lion? Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I want to give the old one to my granddaughter.

You have to update to Lion at least to get basic iCloud functions, and if you want full iCloud functions, then you need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

HT1692 i can't find my sync button on itunes and my calendar from the computer is not syncing with my iphone 5?

I can't find my sync button in itunes and can't sync my calendar from my computer to my iphone 5?

There is a difference between the passcode and the sync key.<br />
The passcode allows to setup all sync parameters with a single code on other devices.<br />
To enter the sync key (and user name and password) you need to click on "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom of the "Add a Device" window (Click Connect).

After install Windows 7 i can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm pressing alt at start I have just Windows OS. How to return to MacOS?

After install Win7 I can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm press alt at start I can watch just 1 OS. How to return to MacOS

Hmm, then it seems Windows is trying to use a video driver that doesn't work with the one in your Mac.
Try a safe mode start in Windows. Restart and boot to Windows. If you're doing that from the startup manager (holding down the Option key and choosing the Win 7 partition), select the Windows disk and immediately start pressing the F8 key. If the Mac is trying to boot to Windows right at a restart or startup, then start hitting F8 the instant the hardware chime bongs.
Rather than the normal Win 7 splash screen (which from the sounds of things, you're not even seeing that), you will get a DOS screen of boot options. Chose Safe Mode and continue. This will force Windows to use the bare bones video driver and you should get to a desktop you can see.
Now install the initial Boot Camp drivers.

How can I create icloud account which I tried and it has showing the message that multiple free accounts have been activated on this device how should I install icloud and I got from apple support if you have mac then create a new icloud account but I don

How will have an option to create an icloud id

Hello there, vishal274.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a great FAQ that provides some great answers to some of the more common questions about iCloud, including yours:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
How do I sign up for iCloud?
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
I had a free Find My iPhone account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
Update the devices that you use with Find My iPhone to iOS 5 (iOS 6 recommended). When you're asked to enter an Apple ID during setup, enter the Apple ID you were using for Free Find My iPhone. Your account will be automatically updated to iCloud.
I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

There is no "find my iPhone" option in the system preferences iCloud window on my iMac.

It is turned on (as are location services) on my iPhone? and there is a "find my mac" option in the iCloud system preferences window but no "find my iPhone"? All is up to date! All is turned on! Thanks.

There is no Find my... app for Mac. The "Find my Mac" service allows your Mac to be found, but is not actually an app. To view the location of your devices, you have to go to http://icloud.com. This is the computer equivalent of Find my iPhone.

What happened to the color and my boxes. I can't find log off, close x's and other graphics with the new version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times.

the only way I knew this spot was here is because the cursor is blinking. Only see 2 lines above here. Otherwise I can't see it. This is the same with everything since I installed the new version of Foxfire. I tried to uninstall and reinstall several times and get the same result. I will have to start using another browser but don't want to since I have used Foxfire for years. I don't have this problem on my desktop where I haven't installed the new version.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

Can you use a wired ethernet to internet AND wireless to apple tv

since getting the appletv, i had connected it wirelessly through the apple extreme (n) base station and kept my internet setup with gigaport #1 with no problem. since the latest updates, apple tv is very sensitive....does not work if the wired ports are used and will not even show up in iTunes.....anyone having similar problems? anyone able to fix this? thanks

thanks WC.
i saw this post and went to my account, changed it from m/c to none and saw my total update (I had recently rented 2 HD movies so my account decreased accordingly)
BUT, before I left the pay't information screen, I chose cancel instead of done. I wanted to leave my CC there for iphone purchases (and b/c we can't use GCs yet).
Anyhoo, it still worked - and I'm glad it did b/c I just purchased $100 in GCs from the latest best buy sale.
Cheers,

I can't find the icloud icon on the system preferences menu. There is only a Mobile me icon. I can't set up my icloud.

my mac os is 10.6.8 and when I try to upgrade, says I have most up to date software.
You do. 10.6.8 is the latest update to 10.6.
10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion are paid upgrades. Buy 10.8 in the Mac App Store if your Mac is compatible by searching for "Mountain Lion." If not, call Apple to order 10.7 Lion after making sure your Mac meets the requirements.

TS4009 can`t find icloud

Can`t find iCloud in System Preferences or anywhere else . I need to find it to upgrade the maile storage. Any ideas where it might be?

iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. If you’re running OS X 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher 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 and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store. If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store. If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption 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 applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.
