ICloud missing on System Preference

I have v10.6., an iCloud account...I believe things are up to date...but no iCloud option in my systems preferences?  Help!

That pane only appears in Mac OS X 10.7.2 and newer.

  • Icloud icon Missing from system preferences

    Why can I not find my icloud icon in system preferences?  Help!!!

    Because you're running Snow Leopard (10.6.8 as noted in your profile)?
    You must upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion to 'get' iCloud. Or just wait until Mavericks is released later this fall. You can directly upgrade now to Mountain Lion, if your system has the right specifications -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5444 - or wait for Mavericks. Your call. Mountain Lion is $20 and available from the Mac App Store: Apple hasn't announced a price for Mavericks.
    Good luck,

    Is iCloud the only thing missing from System Preferences?
    If, while in System Preferences, you click View -> Customize does it show up then?

    Select View ▹ Customize from the System Preferences menu bar. If the missing item appears, check the box next to its icon, then click Done.

  • I have just bought an ipad mini with ret.display, I wish to link up my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8 system) to iCloud. In system preferences there is no iCloud icon to select. How do I get my MacBook updated to accept iCloud.

    See -> Mavericks System Requirements.
    Most of us are running Mavericks with no problems - others seem to be having various problems (if you check out the Mavericks forum). But I would recommend that you have a current backup whichever way you go.

  • TS3989 New MacAir but  photostream does not work.  Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

    New computer but Photostream does not work.  I am signed into my account but get the following message:  In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences.  I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed.  However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine.  Any thoughts?

    Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Still have MobileMe icon (not iCloud) on my System Preferences,how can I install iCloud on Macbook pro?

    Still have MobileMe icon (not iCloud) on my System Preferences, how can I install iCloud on Macbook pro when directions say to click on iCloud icon in System Pref. ?

    Read the system requirements for iCloud.  It is not compatible with Snow Leopard which your system profile confirms you have. 

  • HT1414 I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?

    I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?
    Below is what comes up when I sign into iCloud - where are all the other applications that I need to backup?
    Appreciate any answers to this query?
    Rachel

    Your question is unclear.  If you're backing up to your iMac, (via iTunes, with cable or WiFi), this has nothing to do with iCloud and the backup is stored on your iMac here:
    : ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

    You say you have iOS6: you can perfectly well pay to extend your free storage as an ex-MobileMe subscriber.
    If you wish to continue your current storage level, the instructions are here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5527
    Scroll down to 'How do I purchase my current plan?' and expand the section applicable to iOS.

  • HT204053 How do i get icloud in my system preferences? Currently has mobile me.

    Ive done a system update and still no icloud in my system preferences, just mobile me.

    iCloud requires Lion (10.7.2) or greater, you never mentioned your version of OSX but, at a guess I would say that you have Snow Leopard (10.6)
    Upgrade to the current version of OSX, 10.8.2.

  • HT204053 I dont have iCloud in my System Preferences How do I get it?

    I have the old macbook and have tried setting up iCloud numerous times but have not been able to due to not being able to find the iCloud icon in system preferences.
    I have presumed that I cannot get iCloud because I'm running on MAC OS X 10.6.8 but when I've tried updating to the latest version (Mountain Lion) a pop up appears and tells me that it cannot be used on my Mac. Would this be due to me needing to download the versions before Mountain Lion in order from version 10.6.8 first or do I just have a fault on my Mac?
    Thanks in advance

    You need 10.7.2 or later for iCloud. If your MacBook is not compatible with Mountain Lion then you need to get Lion. Call Apple to order a Mac App Store download code for Lion.

  • Cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading to Yosemie. Pages does not appear in the iCloud list in system preferences.

    Upgraded to Yosemite. Upgraded Pages to latest version. Uninstalled older versions of pages (made with iWork '09). Now I cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading. I keep getting the same redundant message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store." Not sure if this is relevant, but Pages does not show up in the iCloud list in systems preferences.

    Ok, I found pages on the iCloud drive. But the behavior of Pages is still the same, problem unchanged.

  • HT5622 I can't find icloud on my system preferences?

    I cannot find Icloud on my system preferences.  How do I get it on my imac MAC osx 10.6.8

    You need to upgrade the computer to at least 10.7.2. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
