Have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preferences

Hello,
I have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preference, even if I'ved upgraded the software.
Renee

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

Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk. Any help ideas ?

Everything works fine but the Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk.
When I am in Win7 I am easily rebooting my iMac by right-clicking on the Bootcamp icon.
When I am in Mac OS I wish to do same but that Bootcamp icon does not appear. Everytime I am restarting my iMac and pressing on the Option key to select the Windows disk.
Does anyone have an idea how to adjust to bring the Bootcamp icon to the Startup Disk panel ?

Use BootChamp instead; perhaps you have an NTFS 3rd party driver installed and has its own control panel.

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.

Trackpad preferences does not appear in the system preferences

Hi.
My Macbook Pro has Snow Leopard version os x 10.6.8.
For any reason that I do not know, I am unable to use all the functionalities of the trackpad like rotate a picture etc.
Besides that, if I go to the System Preferences Folder, and select the Trackpad preferences pane, I find a clear window... all the options about trackpad functionalities disappeared and I do not know how to restore it.
Besides that, now my trackpad does not appear to have all functionalities operational. For example, in order to open a file, now I have to press twice the trackpad. Before, it only was necessary to tap twice the trackpad, without pressure on it.
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Thank you in advance,
PA Sousa

Hi yong88
Try to reset PRAM and PMU.
Try to boot from installer disk and press D for hardware diagnostic.
Try to repair permission.
Go to system preference > International > Input menu > check only UK.
Install a fresh OS X might resolve the problem (back up your file first).
Check the connection from logic board to the keyboard and re-attached that and see how it works.
Good Luck

Quicktime does not appear in my System Preferences ?

Quicktime does not appear in my System Preferences ? Anyone know why, I'm wanting to enter my registration keycode.....................where has it gone ?

There is no QuickTime System Preference pane in Snow Leopard or Lion.
Open QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) from the Utilities folder and click Registration... under its menu.

I am trying to set up icoud on my macbook pro. But, Icloud is not shown on my System Preferences?

Hi,
icloud does not show in my System Preferences on my macbook. I am rying to set it up. Where else should I be looking?

What OS are you running? You need to have 10.7 Lion for the basic iCloud or 10.8 Mountain Lion for the full iCloud. While 10.7.5 will allow you to access iCloud you will be limited unless you can upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
This is from Apple Support:
Minimum operating system requirements
You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
Mac
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
* Note: Although you can use OS X Lion as noted above, you will not
be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.

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?

I have a MacBook Pro. When I go to system preference, the external speakers option does not appear in the Input tab. Help?

I have a MacBook Pro. When I go to system preferences, the external speakers option does not appear on the input tab and, of course, the external speakers do not work. Help?

When you plug headphones in, or external speakers, where it states "internal speakers", it will rename that "headphones", say. Unless you are running an external sound card.

The option "Build-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences

The sound stopped coming out of my built in speakers. The sound does come through headphonse. The option "Built-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences. How can I restore the Built-in Output option under my Sound preferences. Currently the only option that displays is "Digital Out".

Please stop sticking things in your audio ports. you can very easily damage the switch. There is a simple procedure that usually will switch your mac back to internal speakers.
1. open the Audio MID setup app in your utilities folder.
2. Select 'built in output'
3. try the 'source' pull down menu. probably it will read 'digital out' with no other options.
4. control click the 'built in output' option on the left and select 'configure speakers' from the pull down menu.
5. a drop down window will open. Make sure 'Stereo' is selected and click 'done'
6. The Source pulldown menu should now read 'internal speakers'
7. Close the Audio MIDI setup app and get back to work

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??

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

How to get a question in the course placed anywhere in the course and does not appear in the quiz result or total number of questions. Pretest would work except it can't go anywhere in the course (at least for me it can't)

Use a normal question, and do not add the score to the total score. That will give you a correct score at the end. But the total number of questions, that system variable will still take into account all questions. You'll need a user variable, and calculate its value by subtracting 1 from the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuestionsPerProject. Same for the progress indicator if you want to show it?
Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog
If you want to allow Review, you'll have to tweak as well. You didn't specify the version, and all those questions I now mentioned.
And my approach, since you talk about only one question: create a custom question, because you'll have total control then.

I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start M

I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now. HELP!!!

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

New Hard disk is not appearing in the System Profiler

I am doing a fresh install using my ligitimate Snow Leopard DVD on my USB disk.
My SSD is not appearing in the System Profiler under Hardware>ATA
or under Hardware>Serial-ATA
It is a PATA device as was the original disk I've replaced.
So I have NO disk to install onto.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
===
History
My hard disk died, and I am replacing it with an SSD.
I bought a Mach Xtreme Technology Pata 1.8" SSD (Part no MXSSD1MNANOZ-120G)
(I can send this back if I have to)
The SSD is unusual in that it has to be a 1.8" size with a ZIF PATA connector.
The SSD is preformatted (but not necessarily to Apple formatting).
With the SSD the same way around to the original 80GB HDD, Pin 1 of the new SSD is towards the back of the computer.
I cannot find any information as to which Pin on the original HDD is Pin 1.
I used this tutorial to dismantle and reassemble: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnV7mHS7Qi8
I've double checked the connections inside.

Thanks, this was the answer.
The connector on the SSD I used was indeed arranged reverse to the original Apple Drive. So it looked different to all the tutorials.
I knew where Pin 1 was on the new SSD but could not see it on the old drive.
The original 80GB hard disk had Pin 1 is towards the middle of the computer.
Flipping the SSD over meant it was about 3mm closer to the back, which made the zif ribbon buckle. So I had to cut away some of the rubber shock absorber to the back, and use tape. The SSD should not need the shock absorber as it is not mechanical/vibrating.
It is now working well.
(Although I now have a different problem restoring from the Time Machine. )
