    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.

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

    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.

    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.

  • HT5527 I don't have iCloud in my system preferences, I am using 10.6.8 how do I see how much storage I am using and how do I purchase more?

    I don't have iCloud in my system preferences, I am using 10.6.8 how do I see how much storage I am using and how do I purchase more?

    You can't check your usage on the iCloud website - you have to do this from the iCloud prefs pane, which you don't have. If you are only using it for email you would have to be storing an awful lot of messages to exceed 5GB. If you are concerned about this you can download some of them to your Mac and off iCloud.
    To do this simply create a folder under 'On My Mac', go to the iCloud mailbox, select some of the messages and drag them to the folder you created. Don't try to do too many at once (say more than 100) and allow time for them to download.
    If you haven't yet set Mail up to access iCloud, but are simply using the website, you can set it up as detailed here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    If you do decide to upgrade, the latest version of iPhoto is only £10.49, though MS Office is more of a problem. But you can go on as you are as long as your Mac holds out - Snow Leopard is a good solid system.

  • HT204053 I dont have iCloud in my System Preferences How do I get it?

    I have the old macbook and have tried setting up iCloud numerous times but have not been able to due to not being able to find the iCloud icon in system preferences.
    I have presumed that I cannot get iCloud because I'm running on MAC OS X 10.6.8 but when I've tried updating to the latest version (Mountain Lion) a pop up appears and tells me that it cannot be used on my Mac. Would this be due to me needing to download the versions before Mountain Lion in order from version 10.6.8 first or do I just have a fault on my Mac?
    Thanks in advance

    You need 10.7.2 or later for iCloud. If your MacBook is not compatible with Mountain Lion then you need to get Lion. Call Apple to order a Mac App Store download code for Lion.

    You won't find iCloud in Snow Leopard. Upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    I have  a 2nd gen. ipod shuffle that I want to load music onto, but only have the shuffle.  can i get software for it?

    Hi, my son has a second generation shuffle (the first type of aluminium clip-on one) and the current version of iTunes "talks" to it just fine. iTunes is a free download from Apple. That's all the software you need.

  • HT204053 I don't see Icloud under my setting, how could I get it?

    I don't see Icloud under my Mac settings, how could I get it?

    iCloud does not appear in System Preferences on Snow Leopard. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 - as this has been superseded by Mountain Lion you would need to upgrade your Mac to that, having first checked that it meets the requirements as listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    The only thing you can do with Snow Leopard is to access iCloud mail on an account which has already been set up:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    and possibly sync calendars (though this is a hack and not necessarily reliable) as mentioned in this page:

  • 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.

  • I took a video with my iphone5 and I don't see it on my iPad. Can videos go from one device to another with iCloud?

    I took a video with my iphone5 and I don't see it on my iPad. Can videos go from one device to another with iCloud?

    No.  Photo stream only streams photos, not videos.  To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.
