Icloud not on my mac

I don't have icloud in my system preferences. It only shows MobileMe in internet and wireless. I want to get icloud to sync with my iphone and ipad.

ICloud was part of OSX 10.7.2 and upwards, you need to update your operating system, the current version is OSX 10.9

Numbers iCloud not updating on Mac - 'Waiting'

I have an iPhone, iPad and Mac at home and Mac at Work, all running latest iOS, OS X and iWork. One Mac will not upload to iCloud.
What I have tried
I have checked Document and Data turned on, options for Numbers are switched on.
I have tried opening and adding a small change and saving to kick start a change.
I can drag from desktop to Safari and it updates.
I can create new on iPhone and ipad and edit on each other and also see in Safari but my home Mac doesn't work with them now.
Possible causes
I did reset iCloud documents and data and followed steps with a restart because 1password was not (and still is not working on this Mac).
I have updated to latest Mavericks and run Onyx could this have caused this issue?
What I see on the rogue Mac
In the icon view of the Numbers iCloud folder, there is the icon of a cloud and the word 'Waiting' this has been there for a while now
Any help much appreciated

Hi thanks for the info but actually that page doesn't really cover it. I did solve the issue which was annoying, see this
Each file icon has the dreaded dotted cloud underneath and 'Waiting'. I realised that the whole of Numbers was blocked on one mac but working on another mac and an iPhone and iPad.
The solution was to turn off 'Documents and Data' in iCloud in the System preferences. Then shut down. Then restart and then turn on 'Documents and Data' in iCloud in the System preferences again.
Then the data had to be downloaded all over again which took ages. I had also had problems with 1Password which had been going on for a while before I noticed/ needed Numbers and those issues were sorted out at the same time but, similarly, took ages to re-download as well.
I haven't used Pages or keynote in the last few days from this Mac but will probably have to open both apps up a day or so in advance of needing to use them so they too can download again.
Oh well, so long as there is a solution in the end. I hope this is useful information for anyone in a similar position

Why does iCloud not sync to Mac's

After all the hype about icloud and its ability to sync all your apple proucts. I just recently found that my ipad does not sync to my macbook pro automatically, why not. This really upsets me. Is there a fix on the horizon? DW

It is not Mac to Mac.
Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

Password for iCloud not working on Mac / working on iPhone

iTunes forced change of password to my account, once i did the iCloud pref on Mac will not accept new password?

Your iTunes account isn't anything to do with iCloud, you should continue to use the ID and password that you have always used for your iTunes account.

ICloud not working on mac or phone

Hi people, I'm having trouble with iCloud in the fact that nothing I do on my iPhone reverts back to my Mac & visa versa.
Everything is turned on just like it should be on both devices & I'm running the lastest software on both.
When you do something in numbers on 1, how long for it to appear on the other?
Buying from iTunes on th phone, didn't appear on my Mac.
Same with picture streaming.
What is wrong!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Morning Winston,
That is exactly how I thought iCloud should work in seconds, no matter what device your using as they all go through the wi-fi back & forth to each other.
Auto downloads are on, I have a full strength wi-fi signal, back to my mac is on, data & doc's are on. Everything is on how it should be. For some reason it doesn't work & I can not find anything wrong with it or any info on the web/apple as to what could be the issue

Why is iCloud not syncing with mac address book

Addresses changed on Mac are not reliably going to the icloud. Calendars work fine, but not addresses?
Lion on MacBook Pro
Mike

Turns out I was cloning a contact using copy and paste. This created the new contact on Lion and I could edit the name to a new one, etc. however, that contact was not going to iCloud. I sent it to my email as an attachment. When opened on iPad or iPhone in iOS5 the contact info was all blank. Wow, what a surprise! Doesn't sound right to me but that is what is happening. Any contact I fully enter or edit anywhere updates thru iCloud on Lion, iPad or iPhone.
At least I now understand the behavior...don't like it, but now I know not to create contacts with copy/paste!
So does anyone know of an easy way to clone contacts when I have a dozen people to add from the same address?

All day events on iCloud not syncing to mac

all day events and birthday events appear in ical on iCloud but are not syncing to mac

ical is not syncing All-Day events that run across multiple days from my desktop to icloud. If I select all-day instead of a from/to time the event disappears on my desktop calendar.

ICloud not connecting on Mac

I'm having issues with logging into my iCloud from my Macbook Pro.
I tried going to preferences and logging out from the iCloud option, but now it won'te let me re-sign in.
Whenever I try to log in through iCloud through Safari I recieve a Connection Error message saying it cannot connect to the server.

Replying to bump up the question.... I'm having this exact problem... except I can log into icloud.com via firefox. I've tried resetting my keychains, deleting the iCloud folder from Library/Application Support, nothing seems to be working...I cannot access anything that requires connection via my apple ID (app store, itunes store, facetime, imessage).

How do i sync my notes from my mac to iCloud?

Hi there,
I've been trying to sync my notes between my iphone, ipad and macbook. I'm able to sync them between my ipad, iphone and icloud, but I can't do it from my macbook. That's really what the whole point of this exercise is - there are a lot of notes that I want to transfer from my mac to my ipad, but it's not working.
On my mac I'm currently using mountain lion OSX 10.8.5. I've tried checking and unchecking notes in my mac system preferences in both icloud and gmail, to no avail...... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

TS4002 iCloud for email is not on my Mac. How can I get email and iCal to sync with iphone and ipad.

iCloud for email is not on my Mac. It should be under Internet and wireless in System Preferences but it is not. Basically I am trying to get iCloud running successfully on my Mac for email and Calendar so that it will sync with my iPad and iPhone. I was an MobilMe customer and I've been having trouble with this conversion to iCloud. Thanks.

I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works. Is anyone else having problems like this? All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer? I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC

Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer? I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this?

Hello Lara,
have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
Best regards.

I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either. I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too. is there anyway to recover these documents?

On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved. It's saved at:
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud not longer show up in my Mail program. How do I return to one account and see my folders on my mac?

I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?
