I can't get to Icloud in my system preferences, only mobileme

I am trying to hook up my Macbook to my Icloud account so I can access my ipad's information. When I go to system specs all I can find is Mobileme.

You need to upgrade the computer to at least 10.7.2 to get that pane. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I can't sign into icloud from my system preference!!

We have two desk top mac's OS X 10.9.3. We switched the house computer to our office and visa versa. After unplugging it and setting it back up the one now in the house will not let me sign into my iCloud from the System Preference area. (the other works fine) I have tried everything. I know I am using the right ID and password because I can sign in online but nothing will let me sign in under the icloud system preference and get my icloud to connect to the cloud information. HELP it's making me crazy I have spent the whole day trying everything.

I can sign on with two different id's (that are email addresses) and both use the same password. And I can sign on to icloud.com via Chrome and have no problem. But when I try to sign on to icloud via system preferences it tells me invalid password with one of the email addresses and that I can't sign in at this time - etc. with the other email address.
I think I give up and am going to haul it into our computer store tomorrow. I just want to scream at this point.
None of it makes any sense.
Thanks for trying to help me. I do appreciate it!!

FCS stopped working (Can't get it to start in system preferences)

This morning FCS froze in a client app on a remote computer. We went to restart the java app but it said it could not connect to the server. We went onto the Xserve that FCS is installed on and saw that in the System Preferences pane, FCS was turned off. We have tried to start it again, but are continually getting the message, "Final Cut Server failed to start. See the server logs for more information." The client can only be opened on the Xserve with FCS installed on it and when the assets and productions load, there are no thumbnails and it won't connect to the proxies or original media. Anyone have any suggestions who have experienced this before? Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds to me like your database is broken somehow. For example, I've got this error when I accidently inserted some invalid data into FCS through the command line.
FCS won't start if the database has bad data in it.
You should have a backup from before this disaster; restore it and you should be up and running. That's pretty much the only fix.

Can't modify Mavericks iCloud settings from System Preferences or connect Mail to iCloud

I tried Keychain for the first time the other day, went away for the weekend and forgot my master password #*#@$!
In the process of trying a few different fixes I've changed my Apple ID password. Most things are working well.
I can log in to iCloud via a browser using my Apple ID & new password. I can also log in to itunes using the new password.
When I select iCloud from System Preferences and purposefully enter a wrong password, it tells me 'Incorrect password' in red font. But when I enter the correct password, it is not rejected but the 'Enter Password' option remains on display and all the iCloud options/checkboxes remain greyed out.
In Mail, there is an error symbol against the iCloud inbox. When I click on the error/circle symbol I am told 'Mail can't connect to the iCloud account "iCloud" ' and am requested to enter the password, which I do but with no effect.
Contacts has a similar problem and displays an error circle next to the iCloud account list, as does Calendar.
Any ideas out there? Please help me!!
Is there any way to use Time Machine to revert to earlier settings?

If you are running Mt. Lion download and apply the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.2 (Combo). It includes the iCloud preference pane for the System preferences.
If you're running Lion then download and apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) as it also includes the iCloud preference pane.

Why can't I find iCloud in my system preferences?

I'm hoping to set my Macbook up on iCloud so I can have back up of my photos etc. When I follow the set up instructions I don' have an iCloud option in my system preferences. Help please!!!

Your Mac needs to be running OS X 10.7.4 or later to have iCloud in System Preferences.
What version is yours running?
Note that iCloud does not backup photos from a Mac. The Photostream feature is a temporary storage for transferring photos between iOS devices and back to a Mac for download.

I can't find the ICloud icon in System Preferences on my IMac

How can i get my password of my system preference account?

hi everyone!
i want to ask an unusul question...
actually for i was downloading the ox x mountain lion. and after few hours it totally got downloaded in my mac. and then it asks me to TYPE MY USER PASSWORD! as far as i can remember that i never put an password for my mac. i have just put my user name in it so that everyone can use it without typing the password. so, here is the Big Problem... im not able to install the ox x mountain lion in my mac as it requests to change some setting after i type the password...!!!
so whenever i want to change someting in my mac it asks me the user pass! so guys! wat am i supposed to do now??? i dont understand cuz i have never used mac b4!

You probably have your system set for what is called "automatic login", wherein no password is requied for the computer to completely boot to the lone administrator's desktop.
You can try to perform the function you are attempting by leaving the password box blank, but if it is insufficient, then you do have a password set, but just don't know it. To remedy the problem, you will need to reset the administrator password. After doing so, DO NOT LOSE this password. Of course you can simply reset it again, in the future, but it does mean that your Keychain, in which you store online passwords will be rendered useless, and you will have to start anew with a new keychain.
Here is how you reset the password for Lion.

HT4597 iCloud icon in System preferences

How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac? I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac? I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works! I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one. I tried his security questions to no avail.
Thanks

Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

How can i get my icloud restored back to a previous date

Does anyone know how I can get my icloud restored back to a week ago? My two separate apple iPhones had their iCloud accounts merged and I got my personal accounts and work accounts merged. When trying to split them back up again, I deleted all my contacts on icloud and now I can't get them back. can i get my icloud restored? I restored my phone, but that didn't work. Thanks for your help.

A partition is just a section of the disk set aside for a particular purpose. In this case, we're talking about a Mac partition and a Windows partition. They have different formats, which is how the data is stored. The disks that came with your Mac will create the Mac partition when you install, but most likely you'll lose the Windows partition. You've got kind of a mess at this point. What you should do is install the Mac OS and get everything as you want it. Then run Bootcamp to create a Windows partition and let Bootcamp do the Windows installation for you. Grant gave you good advice earlier. Don't let Windows do any partitioning. That's how you got into this mess.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you are logged into your store account properly (settings > store). Also check there are no restrictions set that might be causing this (settings > general > restrictions)

Can't get my iCloud to work. What do I do? It won't let me tap on it in Settings.

Can't get my iCloud to work. What do I do? It won't let me tap on it in Settings.

What happens when you tap it?
Try Settings > Store > Apple ID > sing out and back in.
Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue of resetting the password and recovering use of the Apple ID.

I don't remember setting a pascode in the restrictions and now I can not get my icloud on, can you help me?

I don't remember setting a pascode in the restrictions and now I can not get my icloud on, can you help me?

If you don't remember the restrictions passcode, your only option is to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it as a new device.
Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions settings are part of the backup.
