ICloud does not appear in Sys Prefs

Just installed OS 10.7,5
ICloud does not appear in my systems pref
only a empty box ??
works fine on my MacBookPro and my Iphone though

That's strange. You might try unchecking it, closing system preferences, then rechecking it again.
Have you tried restarting?

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).

CD DVD option does not appear in Sys Prefs panel "sharing"

Want to use CD sharing on my MacBook Air. In System Panel "sharing" the option CD/DVD is not listed, so can't activate the option.
How to get this option in "sharing"?

Your MBA has no optical drive to share. The Sharing option you are looking for will appear in another computer - one that has an optical drive to share.
The shared drive will appear in a Finder window's sidebar under "devices".

I changed my AppleID/Password and now am locked out of iCloud. iCloud says maximum number of free accounts have been activated. tried Settings, Mail etc but iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete it and start again.

Had to change Apple ID/Password recently now cannot access iCloud. In settings when tapping iC, log in screen appears with old ID and request for (old) password.
In Settings Mail, Contacts etc iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete account.
Trying new ID/Password message appears "maximum no. of free accounts have been activated".
Using old ID/Password message apperas "you can,t sign in because account was disabled for security reasons ......reset password at iforgot.apple.com which i did.
Can anybody help please??

Hi,
I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
I reset both my Apple ID and password.
When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
Any suggestions??

HT204053 how to instal icloud on my mac - I still have Mobileme and Icloud does not appear

how can I replace MobileMe with ICloud on my IMac?

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 now 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 (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) 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

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

ITunes does not sync with sys.pref.

Mac Pro. Mt. Lion, iTunes 11.0.2. When I insert music CD iTunes does not launch. Started wiith last upd. for iTunes. All apps are greyed out
in sys. pref. but not greyed out in main HD app folder. hat to do to get all in sync as before update?

You don't say what exactly you moved. You don't tell iTunes to use a previous library with preferences, you do it by holding down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and guiding it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you want to use. A library is everything in the iTunes folder. Hopefully you copied the entire folder and not just the media files or else you will have to rebuild the library structure from scratch (and erase the phone).

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 iCloud on my MacBook Air. Trying to set up icloud on another device- MacBook Pro. I have OSx version 10.5.8 on the Pro. The iCloud does not appear on my system preference/ Internet

How do I get the iCloud icon to appear in my System Preference/Internet & Wireless section to turn it on. Again I only have Mobile Me icon. When I check for updating of software it says there are no updates. I currently have OS X Version 10.5.8 on the MacBook Pro that needs to have iCloud.

iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. If you’re running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements 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
Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

Photos icon on iCloud does not appear. How can i access my previously saved Photos on iCloud????

Prior to losing my phone last week, I had luckily updated all my photos and contacts on iCloud. I also remeber ticking on the photo settings to allow for my photos to be saved on iCloud. However when i accessed my iCloud account from my PC, I found all my saved contacts but did not see the Photos icon. How can i find my photos??? Please help!

You can't see photo stream from iCloud.com. Enable photo stream in your iCloud settings and use your photo stream folder.

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Time machine volume does not appear but backup works..

Hi. I have a Sno Leo server used for Time Machine backups. When I try to add a bew user to the backup, the backup volume does not appear (Time Machine Prefs > Select disk). The backup clients that have been previously set up work as normal.

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
Go ▹ Computer
from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section? If it's not "Mac OS Extended," Time Machine can't back up the volume.
