I have OSX v. 10.6.8. ICloud does not appear in my preference. How do I control Icloud on my IMac?

I have an IMac with OSX v. 10.6.8 installed.  ICloud does no appear in preferences. I already have it turned on in my IPhone; but cannot turn it on on my IMac.  I ca only acess it via ICloud.com and that does no show all ICloud options, such as photo,etc.

iCloud needs OS X Mountain Lion or Lion. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Check if your programs are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
Photo Stream needs iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with the most recent update, so if you don't have one of these versions, you have to purchase it in the App Store

    You have to upgrade to Lion for the iCloud preferences to be available.

    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    The advice and steps in this article may help if you don't see "None" as a payment option when creating your Apple ID:

    Is it because the backup on progress?

    Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
    Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..

    The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
    Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Do a full reset and start over.
    But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
    You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
    Set WPA2 Personal security with a 10-20 character password .. pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.

  • App asks to have location services turned on but App does not appear in location list.

    I start the EZ Word Cheats and it starts with the menu open. I click on Quick Import and a blue box appears with the message to turn on Location services in settings. I start the settings app, click Privacy, click Location Services, but EZ Word Cheats does not appear in the list of Apps that can have Location Services turn on. Shutting the iPad off or resetting it does not help.

    I reset location services in Setting>General>Reset>Reset Location & Privacy and that fixed the problem. I need not need to restore from new. When I ran EZ Word Cheats after the resetting location services and then clicked on the Quick import under the menu, a message came up asking access to Photos instead of location services. This is the correct behavior since the program does need access to my photos but does not need Location services.

  • ICloud does not appear in system preferences?

    Just bought a used macbook with OSX Lion already installed on it. The issue is that iCloud is not in the System Preferences
    and I would like to find out what I have to do to get this application to appear? Please help...

    If you have Lion, check to see the version.
    You are most likely running version 10.7.1 in which you will need to run Software Update and update your computer to version 10.7.2 to get iCloud in System Preferences.

  • I have Windows 8. The address bar does not show on firefox. How do I fix this?

    The address bar does not show. How do I get it to appear?

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear. Make sure that you have the Navigation Toolbar and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
    * If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
    See also [[Back and forward or other toolbar buttons are missing]] and [[Customize navigation buttons like back, home, bookmarks and reload]] See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization

  • The icloud logo does not appear in my preferences window under Internet and Wireless. Instead it shows mobileme.

    I am trying to turn on iCloud on my Macbook but all I get in Preferences - Internet and Wireless - is Mobile me and not iCloud.
    Can you tell me how to switch it on?

    You need to upgrade the computer's OS. Click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • I have installed the java plugin but it does not appear in my add-on list. I have RedHat linux OS using the Firefox 24.2.0 browser.

    I have already followed your advice for removing the plugins.dat file from the .mozilla directory. The plugin still hasn't appeared in the add-on list. Does anybody have any idea what could be going on?

  • Icloud does not appear in sys pref. still has mobile me.  Also getting error message asking for password in ical. We enter it and the error re appears

    I cloud does not appear in system preferences ....after transition.
    Mobile me still there...
    All other devices working fine.
    Also ICal asking repeatedly for password...we enter it and error reappears

    Please always post your operating system when you have a question since in many cases the answer depends on it.
    Lioin 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - if you have anything earlier you can't use it directly.
    You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts 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. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).
