ICloud not showing on Macbook, Macbook not showing on iCloud
Ok, I have a really weird situation. Last week I was locked out of my Macbook that I have owned since 2011, because as the Genius's at the Genius bar told me, it had been reported stolen. Luckily/Thankfully I still had the original receipt of purchase and was able to prove ownership and they unlocked it for me. The Genius's asked me if I had used iCloud and I hadn't. I didn't realize it wasn't merely a storage tool for your iphone or Macbook, that you could have your devices show up in iCloud and track them etc.
Now my question. I have registered my Macbook at https://supportprofile.apple.com and all of my information shows up, showing I own the computer. When I was re-registering the computer and going through the setup process again it asked me to sign into iCloud and I did (the computer had been wiped clean after I was locked out). Now, iCloud doesn't even show up under system preferences, in my toolbar, or anywhere else on the Macbook when I search for it. And when I go to iCloud.com only my iPhone shows up there, not my Macbook, even though it's registered to me now.
I am running the Macbook on Mavericks.
I have done some research and can't seem to figure out what's going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple community.
Your Mac runs the OS X operating system which is different than the iOS operating system you use on your iOS device. The versions of iWork that you have purchased for your Mac will not run on your iOS device, you will need to purchase those apps through the App Store for your iOS device.

I lost my iphone and my macbook pro does not show the icloud in system pref. how do i get icloud on my mac?
iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

When I send a message on MESSAGES using my iPad2, they do not show up on my iPhone or my MacBook Mountain Lion messages. Did I miss a setting on any of the devices as I thought iCloud took care of syncing all of my devices
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

I have a Google calendar that is syncing with my iPad and on my MacBook Air. However, the calendar items are not showing up when I access iCloud via the Internet. Any suggestions?
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac. -
Help. I have double checked everything I and my husband can think of. I need to be able to print out my daily agenda and I can only do that from the MacBook Pro. And of course it is the devise that is not getting the updated iCal data. Any suggestions?
Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

Custom dates not showing up in iCloud on MacBook
Events with custom dates (e.g., 3rd Thursday of the month) have stopped showing up in my Mac iCloud calendar. They still show up in iCal, and on my iPhone and iPad. They also showed up in all previous months in iCloud, but for some reason they stopped and none have appeared in February, 2013. I checked, and all the custom dates have no specified end date--and anyway, they continue to appear in iCal, iPhone, and iPad. I can't figure out how-come?
Just to be clear, photos can not be accessed directly from iCloud.com.
Be sure you are signed into iCloud on your Mac with the same Apple ID as your iPhone and Photos is checked:
System Preferences > iCloud
Then be sure My Photo Stream is checked in iPhoto:
In iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud -
Problem - grayed out apple id in app store
I have signed in to my account, I am the admin and my apple id is correct shown in itunes, and other apps except the appstore.
In Appstore, it shows another email id and it is disabled.
Problem
1. I do not know why another email id is visible in my account (we have separate accounts on this laptop , all admins)
2. Why wouldn't it allow me to change the login name and let me get on with my updates!!
Options already looked
1. phone - asked me to go to support blah blah .apple.com
2. internet - i'm here.
3. Applet id - manage on line- all is well there. no need to change anything.
4. other apps with apple id involved - checked and works fine.Do you recognize the ID?

I use iCloud to sync my notes between my computer and ios devices, but I don't want to see the inbox in mail. Is there any way to hide or remove the icloud inbox in Mail?

my wife and i have two different icloud accts and we would like to share info on all our apple devices.
If you want to keep separate iCloud accounts and still share some data, you can do this by adding each other's iCloud account to your devices as a second ("secondary") account. Secondary accounts can sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.
To add your wife's account as a secondary account on your iOS device, for example, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her ID and password. Then, to sync her notes, turn Notes on in this secondary account.
To add her account to your Mac as a secondary account, go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail, Contacts & Calendars)>iCloud. -
I was told that upgrading the OS would slow down my machine significantly. I don't plan on using iCloud for anything other than setting up Find My iPhone. Any suggestions on how to activate iCloud with my current OS?
You would need to upgrade OS X to 10.7.5 (Lion) or later to sync your Mac with iCloud. If you have 2GB of memory and 8GB of available hard drive space, you could upgrade to OS X Mavericks for free from the Mac App Store. After upgrading, you can sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud.
However, you don't need to do anything if you only need to use Find My iPhone. To use Find My iPhone to track your iOS devices from a computer you go to icloud.com from your browser, sign into the iCloud account the device you want to track is using and click Find My iPhone. -
Photos taken on My I Phone 6 do not show up ON my Macbook Pro both on I cloud
I have my I phone 6 with IOS 8.3. Then I have my Macbook Pro w/Retina Display 2014 with 10.10.3 with Photos. I migrated my I Photo Library to Photos and that went well. However since I updated both my I Phone and Macbook pro, Pictures I take on my I Phone 6 do not show automatically up in Photos on my Macbook Pro. Both my I Phone 6 and Macbook pro are signed into I cloud for photos. The pictures I take on my I Phone 6 show up in the Icloud photos but not in Photos on my Macbook Pro. Am I wrong to assume that when I take photos on my I Phone 6 they will show up on my Macbook pro in Photos? Do I still need to hardwire to the Macbook and import my photos off my I phone? Is there a setting I have not turned on, I have looked I do not think I have missed a setting anywhere? Is there a problem with IOS 8.3 or OS X 10.01.3? Just wondering what is up. Anyone else having this issue?
The music being available for redownload has only been possible for a few months. Before this you could not redownload. The owners of the rights to the ringtones do not allow itunes to provide this feature. hopefully they will at some point.
Regardless, you should always maintain a backup.
Sorry.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception. -
Photos taken from iOS device not showing up on Macbook??????
I have photo streaming turned "ON" on my iPhone 5, iPad Air and Macbook Pro. For some reason or another I have been having problems getting the pictures to show up on my Mac. The only time I need for this to happen automatically is when I am listing on eBay. For example I took a picture of the item that I want to list from my iPhone 5. Within a few minutes the picture shows up my iPad Air. I am using my Macbook Pro to list the items. It took over an hour for one picture to come over. I called Apple and without having a device that is under the 1 year contract or Applecare they push this support forum on you or pay $19.95 for them to walk you through it.
Before anyone replies, I have made sure that I am signed in under my apple ID on all three devices and have photo stream selected as well. All of my devices are updated to the latest software. Being that I am having problems with my Mac it is version 10.9.4 running Mavericks. If anyone has any definite answers to this problem I am having I would appreciate all the advice I can get.No offense, but there are not definitive answers when it comes to iCloud.
Reset iCloud.
On your iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos then switch Photo Stream off then back on.
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Photos then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data. -
My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks
Click here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
Then file a police report and nail the b*****d. -
I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???
That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.
