I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Macbook Pro. When I go to the iCloud site, I sign in, but when I click on any of the apps (Contacts, Calendar, etc), I get a pop up message telling to enable said app by setting up iCloud. Help?
Hi,
I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Mac. When I go to iCloud on the web, sign in, and click on one of the apps (Calendar, contacts, etc.), I get a message telling me to enable the app on my iOS device - which I've already done. Any idea why it's not working for me? Thanks!
This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks 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 Mavericks, 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
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks 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
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

I have seperate music labraries on my iphone and macbook pro, how can i get them together
how can i fix this?
I think I finally got rid of them. I found a Dec 2011 PhotoStream in the iPhoto list (on the left of the screen). While I couldn't delete the "folder", I could move all the photos to the trash and empty the trash. Now, let me tell you, the photos I wanted to delete were not in that PhotoStream, but it seemed to do the trick. Then I made a new photo stream and so far so good.
Next time I'll try your method. Probably works, I was just desparate to get rid of the old photos.
thanks! -
I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine. I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. text/plain" They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc. Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks-POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap" -
Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?
What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike? I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync.
If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else? -
IPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account
Brand new to the MacBook Pro world. First Apple laptop (or Apple computer at all for that matter) so of course I have some questions. I think I am correct in saying that basically each Apple device has to be separate and apart from another even if they reside in the same household. Meaning that each one has to be logged on to a separate and unique Apple account and email address for things like Facetime and iMessage to work properly. So, with that said......If I personally own the iPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account how can I make them both work separately and independent of each other??? The problem I've noticed is that Facetime and iMessage do not work and conflict with each of the two devices.
Hi BigDisMe,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations, and welcome to the Mac World. Actually, you can use an Apple ID, together with iCloud to make your devices work together. Both devices can be connected to the same Apple ID, and use Facetime, Messages, and email together.
As long as both of your devices are updated to the latest OS, OS X 10.9 Mavericks for your MacBook and iOS 7.0.4 for your iPhone, you can:
On Mac:
1. Open System Preferences-iCloud
2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
5. There is no Step 5.
On iPhone:
1. Open Settings-iCloud.
2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
5. There is no Step 5.
Good Luck,

Looking for a Dictation App for my Iphone and MacBook Pro.
Want to send all dictation to Word.
I have Dragon. Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?Care to share which OS you are using?
OS has its own dictation program.
Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?
Only you can make that determination. Read the system requirements for both and read the reviews. -
I connected to home share on my ipad iphone and macbook pro now it's asking me to turn on home share on the apple tv but I have no other remote, any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so. -
time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router. If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline. Any suggestions?
At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that. -
Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro
I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
ThanksThat's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

I have rented two movies on my laptop and they will not completely download..it shows that they are theere but when i try to watch them on my laptop or my ipad it wont open up???? help
Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. -
I get a pop-up window when I try to share a movie with imovie "iMovie has not been set up". I have trashed the imovie plist and repaired permissions, I restarted imovie to see if that helps but to no avail. It is not a major issue but it would be nice to have that option seeing as I will be using imovie more frequently since Avidemux does not work on lion. All the other share options seem to function so I am a bit stumped as to why this option is not working.
Thank you for your time.I get a pop-up window when I try to share a movie with imovie "iMovie has not been set up".
Have any of you actually opened/used iMovie yet? It appears the shared file is temporarily stored in an "iMovie Drop Box" which is placed in an "iMovie Events" folder either in the "Music" folder of the current user's account on the boot drive or placed in an "iMovie Events" folder at the root level of a non-booted hard drive. It is likely that if QT X can't find/can't see any "iMovie Events" folder, it will issue the "not set up" modal message you are seeing.
When working correctly, the QT X "iMovie" shared file is placed in the "iMoviie Drop Box" folder (even if it has to create a new folder initially) where it sits until you next open iMovie. When iMovie opens, it scans all available "iMovie Events" folders and if it detects anything in the drop box, will ask you if you want to import them. During import, the files are simply moverd from the drop box to the named_Event folder you specify. Be advised that if you delete the drop box from the "iMovie Events" folder, you may later get a different modal message telling you the system cannot find the "iMovie Drop Box" the next time you try to share a QT X file to iMovie. -
