ICloud blocks use of my on my mac calendars

Somehow I'm synced to iCloud with my iCal. I don't care about it and don't want to be. But more importantly. When I try to post on my own calendars on my mac it won't let me and jumps to making new posts on my iCloud calendars. I deleted all of my iCloud calendars but there is some calendar subcription listed under my iCloud calenders. It won't delete. And it is showing an event on EVERY SINGLE DAY of the year because it is a catholic liturgical calendar. It won't delete. When I uncheck it all the events disappear from my calendar but as soon as I try to make a new event on my own calendar it jumps to this catholic calender subscription and makes it appear on every day and I still can not make a new post on my own simple on-my-mac personal calender. Please help. I am helpless with the confusion of unwanted syncing.

Thank you Ferd II. As I mentioned above, I actulally took the time to go into my iCloud account and look araound and low and behold, I was able to delete the offending daily calender event and also delete iCloud calendars. I feel like a sync wimp. I will follow your instructions in order to continue being unsynced in calendarland, and I can see they won't be hard to follow. But actually, after haven taken the time to go into my iCloud account and look around a little, I"m starting to feel empowered to try to learn a little more about syncing and iCloud. After all, I have intentions of soon buying the full year of iTunes iCloud back up of all my mp3 files so I can access anything I want on the road on my iPhone. And to avoid using too much wirless time I'm hoping to learn how to download from the cloud music and then delete it when I want room for other music while it all stays safely in the cloud. So I really should start learning also about calendars and syncing them with my iPHone and work laptop and even my work iCal. I'm NOT a native obviously now in my late 50's.

Can't attach file in icloud webmail using firefox from windows or mac. any ideas?

anyone else having trouble attaching file in icloud webmail using firefox or internet explorer from windows or mac. i was able to get it to work from safari on a mac, so i guess it must be a browser thing, only enabled or working in safari?

I had the same problem since last Thursday. I have tried and re-tried all of the settings suggested by the support posts but I can not get email to go out of me Outbox.

FYI: your "on my mac" calendars may be automatically transferred to iCloud

I just would like to relate to the community that iCloud automatically (without notifying me) took the calendars that were "on my mac" in iCal and automatically uploaded them all to iCloud. I had been an upgrader from MobileMe, and the MobileMe calendars were initially the only calendars that were transferred to iCloud. But somehow, additional "on my mac" calendars were also automatically uploaded to iCloud (and removed from the "on my mac" section) without my knowledge over the past couple of days. Just thought I should let folks know my experience, as some folks may have private calendar items that they do not feel comfortable putting in the cloud.

Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Calendars for the cache. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the cache from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Is it possible to make an iCloud account used by everyone in my school?

In my school we have iPads. Would it be possible to make an iCloud account used by everyone for contacts and calendars?

You do not give everyone the username and password of that account. This would be a violation of iCloud terms and conditions.
I've done what you want done with a calendar. You use the iCloud account yourself, then use the 'broadcast' facility to produce a subscription URL that everyone can put into their calendar software. If you make the calendar public anyone can subscribe. They don't even have to know the account name let alone the password.
Log into the account on www.icloud.com and test it out.
Once you have that working you might try the same thing with a contact list. I see no reason it shouldn't work.

My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud?

My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address for the police to go and claim it. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud? I've tried to get the IP address through Gmail and Dropbox but no success. Is there any software that updates automatically that I could find the IP address through?

Shouldn't the IP address be on the box you bought the machine in? If you have the box, take it to the police as evidence that it's your machine. If I were you, I would set the firmware password when you get it back, but make sure you have the password written down in a safe place. If you forget it, there's only two ways to reset it. Either pay $400+ for the tool that can do it, or pay almost nothing for Apple to do it, I think it depends on where you live. The firmware password is this encrypted password and it can't be hacked either. The password prevents anyone from booting the machine into recovery mode, thus preventing them from restoring the computer to factory settings or performing any other functions. It's not stored in the hard drive so replacing that will be of no use either.
I hope you get your Mac back and I hope this was helpful!

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Can I use ICloud as complete back up for my mac?

Can I use ICloud as a complete backup for my Mac Pro? Word Files, PDFs, Excel etc>?

No. iCloud is not a general file/document storage service. There are some alternative cloud-based services that provide this listed on Roger Wilmut's site here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/inicloud3.html.

Hi Victoriahernandez10,
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone. If you are having issues receiving iMessage messages across your iPhone and your Mac, you may want to double-check that your phone number and your Apple ID are correctly linked and that all your contact addresses/numbers are set up, as outlined in the following article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
You may also be interested in the new SMS feature of Continuity for Yosemite and iOS 8. This enables similar functionality for SMS and MMS messages:

Can iCloud be used with snow leopard on a Mac if you have an ipad2?

Can iCloud be used with a Mac that has been upgraded to it's full capacity with snow leopard if you are using it with an ipad2 and iPhone 4 ( with upgraded system)?

If you have joined iCloud on your iPad, this will be the situation on your Snow Leopard Mac:
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. A pictorial instruction page on doing this is here.
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)

How can I check my icloud emails using windows xp?

My MacBook Pro crashed and I am currently using an old laptop on windows xp. When I go to enter online in Icloud.com my emails it does not allow me to see my emails unless I install icloud on my laptop. The problem is that when I follw the directions and the relevant link it sais that icloud is compatible only with windows 7 or 8. Does that practically means that I will not check my emails until my mac is back in life?

Thank you for the answer
I am trying to access my emails using my browser but when I enter my ID and password a message appears saying that I need to set up icloud first in my current device before I can make use (enter) icloud.com
Then I pressed more info to find out how I can do that in a windows pc and I found out the following:
''To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first step set up your iCloud account on your other devices or Mac, then install iCloud for Windows''
Any suggestion?

How do I sync 'on my mac' calendar in ical with icloud or an alternative for my iphone?

I'm using Outlook 2011 with 2 IMAP email addresses, a business email and a gmail address. The only reason I'm using Outlook instead of Mail, Address Book and iCal is because there were issues with me receiving meeting invites from business colleagues. Anyway, now I'm using Outlook, my contacts & calendar are no longer synchronising with my iPhone (4). I'm using the Outlook synch services to copy the Contact info to Address Book and the calendar info to iCal. BUT, the calendar in iCal is 'On My Mac' and doesnt get picked up by iCloud.
Can anyone help with simple suggestions for a wireless solution for keeping Outlook calendar in synch with my phone? Would upgrading my email account to Exchange be a solution?

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

How to configure iCloud when using two apple ID's

Just installed lion and set up a new mac id (different from my itunes mac id)... whats the difference of having two separate ones? I know the two cannot becombined, but what are the challenges of having two?
I currently have my itunes store and icloud set up to my new apple ID, but what happens to my old apple ID? All my downloads from my iphone were done on the old apple ID. If I change this setting by using the original apple ID for store purchases and my new apple ID for icloud... whats the difference? benefits? complications?
Just really confused by all this and can't find anything online that just breaks down whats the better way of setting this up.
Thanks!

You should continue to use your old ID for iTunes, if you don't you will have difficulties using your purchased content.
You can use either the new or the old ID for iCloud, iCloud is just a sync service so you won't actually lose anything by using one or the other.
If you'd prefer to use the same ID for both and your contact and calendar info is in your iCloud account using your new ID, you can always transfer that data to the other account and delete the new account altogether.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

Can I access my icloud mail using a PowerPC G4 800hz imac running OS10.4.11?

I have an old PowerPC G4 800hz imac. I am running mac OSX 10.4.11 on it. I have a mac mini and an ipad that I use normally for accessing mail from my icloud account. This morning I tried to access mail on the Power PC but kept getting error messages saying that it could not load mail. Is there something about icloud that now requires later versions of OS10? Can I even run them on the Power PC, it recall reading that I can't. Perhaps I could open a GMail account and access icloud via it? Ideas please.

You can access email from an existing iCloud account using Tiger - the method is described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
