I'm trying to set up find my phone on my Imac but there is not Icloud icon in system prefs.

Help

10.7.2 is not an update, it is an upgrade, but (if your Mac is new enough) should upgrade to the latest version of OSX, Mountain Lion. It's $20 and you can buy it in the App Store (Apple Menu)                    
How old is your Mac, and how much Ram does it have.

  • I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

  • 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

  • HT204053 I think I followed all set up instructions, but there is no iCloud icon on my iPad desktop

    I followed instructions to set up iCloud on my iPad mini, my iPhone 4S, and my windows PC.  When I look at settings on the iPad and iPhone, everything is enabled?  However, there is no iCloud icon on my desktop, and I can't access content from the cloud.  What am I missing?

    There is nothing wrong, because there is no iCloud icon. iCloud services are just integrated in apps like Mail, Calendar, Calendars, Reminders, Notes (Please see also: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/)

    Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • HT204053 I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. SHould it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.

  • Forgot passcode to iPad. Has not been connected to itunes. Tried to erase from "find my phone". But it is offline. Tried to restore it. But itunes said it couldn't because it had a passcode. How do I fix this?

    Forgot passcode to iPad. Has not been connected to itunes. Tried to erase from "find my phone". But it is offline. Tried to restore it. But itunes said it couldn't because it had a passcode. How do I fix this?

    Them try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?

    Thanks for responding, I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer which is sitting under Devices in my Finder and then installed the Ai app which is appearing under Applications in the finder. I notice that in the launch tutorial there is the Adobe Creative Cloud sitting in the Apps folder above Ai - I don't have this. Hmm what to do?
