HT203796 I don't have the iCloud icon in "SYSTEM PREFERENCES" , any ideas?

I could synchronize my iPad with my Mac Book Pro before replacing the hard drive and recoveing data from my Carbonite backup.
Now I don't see the iCloud icon in SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
Is this a common occurence?

Welcome to the Apple Community alapan.
Which operating system are you now using, OSX 10.6 and earlier do not have iCloud.

How come i don,t see icloud in my system preferences i have version 10.6.8

iCloud is only available with 10.7.5 or later. Upgrade your computer accordingly:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

HT1414 I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?

Below is what comes up when I sign into iCloud - where are all the other applications that I need to backup?
Appreciate any answers to this query?
Rachel

Your question is unclear. If you're backing up to your iMac, (via iTunes, with cable or WiFi), this has nothing to do with iCloud and the backup is stored on your iMac here:
: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

I just went from OS 10.6 to 10.8. The arrow button is gone from the scrollbar. I do not see the option in "Systems Preference" any more. Am I missing something. If it is gone, is Apple going to bring it back?

Good luck there, the head of iOS Scott Forstall was canned, I suspect this was his favorite picture.

I don't see iCloud on my system preferences I only see MobileMe

I don't see iCloud on my system preferences I only see MobileMe

If you're using a Mac, you have to update to OS X 10.7.5 or later in order to have iCloud in System Preferences.

Why is there not a MobileMe icon in System Preferences on my Dome?

My MacBook Pro laptop has the MobileMe icon in system preferences but the Dome does not. Both hosts contain the latest software. Will this prevent the two hosts from syncing?

You've posted this in the iSync forum - the MobileMe forums are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
(iSync has nothing to do with MobileMe syncing, or the MobileMe icon in System Preferences).
You might also want to clarify what you mean by "Dome" - probably means something to you, but nobody else!

HT1338 no icloud icon in system preferences

updated osx software but still showing mobileme and no icloud choice in system preferences. How to change this scenario?

Select View ▹ Customize from the System Preferences menu bar. If the missing item appears, check the box next to its icon, then click Done.

There is no icloud icon in system preferences on my mac

I'm trying to upgrade icloud storage on my mac because the "complimentary" storage I got when they switched from me.com to icloud is expiring. The instructions are simple: open system preferences, click the icloud icon, change your options. But I don't have an icloud icon: I've still got a me.com icon, which won't connect because it indicates a server error. Anyone else have this problem?

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

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

Ok, IMac running OS X 10.6.8. I am not able to locate the ICloud icon to set ICloud on my IMac to help me share my photos between my iPad and my Android phone. Any Suggestions? Thank you :-)

10.7.5 on 2008 white Macbook, but there is no iCloud icon in System Preferences. how do i set up iCloud?

my friend has a white 2008 Macbook running 10.7.5. i'm trying to set up iCloud for her so she can sync Calendars etc. with her iPhone. however, there is no icon for iCloud showing up in System Preferences; MobileMe shows up instead. how can i set up iCloud on this machine?
she does not want to install Mavericks etc. as this would slow her Macbook down to a crawl (if it even supports Mavericks...)
many thanks!

With Lion you can boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system with little down time. OS X: About OS X Recovery

No icloud icone in system preference

HI, I have Mac book air version 10.6.8 when I go on system preference I don't find icloud icone to click in.
May be when I installed I answered no to some question on icloud , what I have to do to have it in my mcbook air?
thanks marco

I also have 10.6.8. I have been running ICloud for some time and loving it. I got a message yesterday stating that it has been since 4/17/12 since I backed up to ICloud last. Now it won't let me. I would really like to keep using ICloud. Are we going to have to buy the upgrade each time it comes out to be able to use ICloud? Thanks for any help.

I have OS10.6.8 but I do not have iCloud on my Systems Preferences. I do have Mobile Me, which is a defunct program.

I have a new iPad and want to sign up to iCloud on it and my Mac (OS10.6.8) but my Systems Prefs do not show iCloud, only Mobile Me, which I've never used and which has become defunct anyway.
Denise

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion 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
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
