MacBook Pro is remote locked by iCloud

Hello Everyone,
I was just trying out iCloud and the remote lock feature. When I start up my MacBook Pro Early 2011 I needed to enter a 4 digit key. I submit the same key but it says: "Wrong Password, Try again.". After a few times it did not unlock.
I tried a few things but they all failed:
1. Trying to boot from CD and reinstall Lion (when I push the ALT key I get a remote lock screen)
2. To remote the lock screen I tried to remove 1 RAM stick and push down CMD + ALT + P + R. Failed.
3. Formated the Harddisk and tried to install with the Snow leopard CD (when I push C I get the blinking map with the question mark, when I push ALT I get the remote lock screen.)
Does someone has a solution for my problem?
Thanks!
Greetings, Davey Giesen

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.

Turn iCloud contact syncing off and choose keep when prompted.

Software updates don't upgrade your current operating system to a new one, you have to purchase a newer operting system if you want one.
If you want iCloud, first you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred), then you can download Lion from the app store.
Snow Leopard requirements: $29 USD from Apple : http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Lion general requirements: $29 USD app store.
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

Your version of OSX is too old, the minimum required is 10.7.2, you have 10.6.8.

Music and other purchased media doesn't sync to your Mac from iCloud, it must be downloaded to your iTunes library, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
If they are on an iOS device, they can also be transferred to your iTunes library by opening iTunes on your Mac, authorizing iTunes for all Apple IDs used to purchase the media in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connecting your device to your computer and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

Thank you for your advice !

By upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher (required for iCloud). 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.
If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download 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.

I had an old macbook so icloud was set up only with my iphone and ipad. Now I have a new macbook pro but can't synchronise icloud with it. It ask me to create a new account.

Hi,
I had an old macbook, too old to put it on icloud. So when I created my icloud account, I did it with my iphone and my ipad. Now I bought a new macbook pro.I wanted to synchronise it to my icloud account but it tell me that this account is with someone and that I have to create a new one. Seems like it does not recognised my account.
What should I do?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

How do I sync iTunes music on a Macbook Pro to a PC via iCloud?

I have a Macbook Pro with all my music files on - I have recently upgraded my software to iOS5 and I am running Lion.
I have synced my iphone to my Macbook Pro via iCloud, but I would also like to sync my wife's PC laptop (Windows Vista) to my Macbook Pro, again for the music files - I have downloaded iCloud and iTunes on her PC with my Apple ID.
I was wondering if anyone knows how I go about syncing these two devices as I can't fathom out how to do it!

You don't use iCloud for this. You do it with iTunes.
On your iPhone 4s you need to use the same Apple ID for the iTunes Stores that you use on your Macbook Pro. Your iCloud ID can be different for syncing calendars, mail, etc. but in the iTunes stores on your phone, it needs to be the same Apple ID that you bought the apps/music with.

MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad. Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

How do I transfer my music from my macbook pro to my iPhone using iCloud

I have set up iCloud on my macbook pro and iPad2. But I cannot transfer all of my purchased apps and music to my iPad. I also cannot transfer my iTunes purchases from my macbook pro to my new iPhone 4S. How do I get iCloud to do this? Have I missed a step activating iCloud?

On your iPhone 4s you need to use the same Apple ID for the iTunes Stores that you use on your Macbook Pro. Your iCloud ID can be different for syncing calendars, mail, etc. but in the iTunes stores on your phone, it needs to be the same Apple ID that you bought the apps/music with.

My MacBook Pro can't connect to iCloud. Network Error #60

None of my Mac-base applications are connecting to iCloud on my MacBook Pro, while they do just fine on my iMac running on the same OS 10.6.8.

My situation is that my Calendar is not being synced on my MacBook Pro, but it is on my iMac and iPhone. When I enter a date on my MacBook Pro, it doesn't show up on the other two devices. When I update my Calendar on my iMac it does update my iPhone.
I will just get the latest version of the OS. I am sure it will work it self out there. It is time anyways. Just ***** that there have been so many changes to the OS and the way it works that old computers and OS are so quickly trashed these days.

Macbook Pro Retina - Remote

I got an Apple TV and my friend told me that you can use the remote with it it didn't so I went online and found out that you can't because there is no IR sensor. Then I found out that if you get a sensor that you might get it to work, but it didn't even though the IR sensor light turns on but I don't know how to get the remote to pair to it.

How to wake Macbook Pro up remotely?

I can't access my Macbook Pro remotely, specially after several hours of inactivity,, whenever I try to access content of my library through the remote app or the Apple TV I'm unable to wake my Macbook Pro up.
My Macbook Pro is 2012 model (the last with de CD Drive) and it's running the Maverick OS, my questions are:
* I'm unable to find the "Unable Power Nap while plugged" option on the energy saver tab... is that because the model of my laptop doesn't support that?
* In order to access content from my library remotely, should the "Computer Sleep" option on the energy saver be on "Never" instead of the "1 hour" that I'm currently using... or is there a way to still be able to wake up the laptop with those settings

Hi,
I assume you have set home sharing in iTunes on the MBPro.
If your MBPro is listed initially under "Computers" on AppleTV and you see your library, "Computer Sleep" option to never is at this point a work around.
If you do not see your MBPro under "Computers" on AppleTV, check the wifi settings of the MBPro and Apple TV to ensure they are connecting correctly.
Hope this helps
