I do not see an icloud icon when I go to system preferences.How can I get the icon so that I can download it? an I get

I just bought an ipad and it had icloud and when I attach the ipad to the macbook pro (running lion; up to date) it is not even recognizing that it is attached. I want to put the icloud on the macbook pro because it is not on there. When I go to system preferences and look for the icon for icloud it is not there. The instructiions said that you have to go to system preferences and click on the icloud icon and follow the instructions but I show no icon. Help!

You are most likely running Snow Leopard or an older version. Did it say what your current software is? If you are upgrading from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Lion (10.7), it needs to be purchased from the Mac App Store.

HT1202 The manual mode to transfer music to my iTune from my iPhone does not work as described. When I click on Manually manage... it displays the warning message that all music on my iPhone will be erased and replaced by iTune music.

All photos in my icloud file on my pc have a padlock icon. How do I unlock the padlock so that I can move the photos to other applications or attachments?

All photos in my icloud file on my pc have a padlock icon. How do I unlock the photos so that I can upload/download for other applications? Please help!?

Create main folder e.g. Folder A, then sub-folders inside A e.g. B, C, D and have your Photos in B, C, D.
In iTunes Sync, click your device on the left Pane, then on right pane select "Photo" tab.
Make sure Sync photo box is checked, then select folder A, then All folders box within the selection.
Click Apply or Sync button at the lower right window.
you will have B,C,D folders under Albums.

I have an 11" Macbook Air. When I use Garageband it opens in a window so large that the bottom corner is not accessible so I can't decrease the window so that I can see the top and bottom of the window at the same time. Any suggestions?

When I use Garageband the window is so large that I can't reach the bottom corner to decrease the window to fit inside the display so that I can see the top and bottom of the window at the same time.
Any suggestions?

You can reduce the window by grabbing any edge or corner. You don't have to use the bottom right anymore.
You could also temporarily move the dock to the left/right so you can reach the bottom.

HT4623 I do not like the new iOS 7 operating system on my iPad. I do not like the Safari works, I do not see a way to enter or search for a new web site. Is there a way that I can go back to the older operating system?

I do not like the new iOS 7 system on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I can not like the way Safari works, I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites. Is there a way I can go back to the old iOS 6.1.5 operating system on my devices? Thank you.

I can not see a way to enter name to search for new web sites
Put your search terms in the combined URL and search bar at the top of the browser (exactly the same as you do in most modern desktop browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Explorer). There is no separate search box, just use the box where you enter web addresses.
And no, you cannot downgrade.

I recently bought my friend's iPhone but he never reset the phone or anyhing so every 2 seconds i get a popup for him to sign into his iCloud account. How can i reset the phone so that I can sync my accout to it and not be interrupted anymore??

I'm at a complete loss, if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it

I've done that multiple times but the message still comes up and I tried to erase everything but I need his password to do so.

I have tried resetting my photostream several times on three different computers only to get the error message that it can not be reset because of trouble connecting with the servers. It says the same thing on a sync about contact conflicts.

I cannot reset my photo stream. The error message "cannot connect to servers" comes up. I have the same problem with syncing contact conflicts. I have logged in on three different computer & networks on three different occasions. What's the deal?

Pure Propaganda to make it look good. Icloud Servers are having issues since days but today it is definately broken and also for me everything is offline, without having changed one setting.
Look at hundreds of server failures, photostream fails, mail not working.. only recent posts.

I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.
VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

HT204053 When I go into System Preferences there is no icloud icon.

I have just purchased an Imac and an Ipad and I am trying to set up icloud. When I go to system preferences there is no icloud icon.

Welcome to the Apple community.
What operating system is your Mac running. iCloud requires OSX 10.7.2 or better, it sounds as though you are running a previous system.

When i go to System Preferences and click on Desktop and Screensaver the computer goes to that screen but gets stuck and does not respond no matter how many times i try. Any suggestions?

When i go to System Preferences and choose Desktop & Screensaver the system locks up and will not show any options. All i get is the circle of color and have to do a force quit. Any suggestions?

First follow the instructions in this support article.
If an iPhoto or Aperture library is the source of your desktop pictures, it may need to be rebuilt, or you may need to update the application to the latest version.
Otherwise, continue as below.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following items to the Desktop, if they exist:
Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the items you moved to the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the items.

My bluetooth on my computer will not work. I have checked 'ON' and DISCOVERABLE in system preferences. I have restarted the computer.

Since you can get them working, at least temporarily, make those Favorites. If that doesn't help, then go into your home folder library and move the following to the Trash (but don't empty the Trash--if this doesn't help, you can always use File>Put Back to restore it to its original location.)
In ByHost
com.apple.Bluetooth.<long string of characters and numbers>.plist
If you do this, you will need to reconfigure your Bluetooth settings. Might take screen shots of them first (Cmd-Shift-4) Setting up Bluetooth again will create a brand new preference file.
EDIT: That's in your home folder library>Preferences.

TS3999 I have a macbook Pro which had Mobileme. I have joined ICloud, but my Calendar does not sync. How do I fix this? I do not see an ICloud Icon on my laptop and the software is updated.

I have a macbook Pro which had Mobileme. I have joined ICloud, but my Calendar does not sync. How do I fix this? I do not see an ICloud Icon on my laptop and the software is updated.

This is the situation with Snow Leopard and existing iCloud accounts:
You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it.
There are a couple of alternative syncing services you might like to consider, though they're not particularly cheap:
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts beetween a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart (click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at €4 per month.
(I have no connection with these firms and have not tried Soho Organizer, though both have had good reports and I've found Fruux to work well.)

How do I retrieve the icons in the download map of my 2009 iMac with Maverick. They show up in the finder, but not when I open downloads from the dock.

I have a 2009 iMac running on Mavericks. Since a few days, when I open the Download Map from the dock, I only see "empty" icon symbols. When I leave the map open the icons re-appear after some 20 seconds. When I re-open the downloads, the icons are empty again.
How do I get the icons to behave in a normal way again?

bro I just had this issue its as simple as swiping to the right of each album artwork that does not display in the list view (On your Iphone.) Once you swipe to the right on every album that does not display in the list view you will see the delete option come up. Hit delete! Dont be scared. Do this with every album art that does not show up and then resync your Iphone. Go to the list view again and all of your missing album artwork will be displayed in both the list overview and close up landscape mode.
