MacBook Pro/want iCloud

I have a MacBook Pro, received as a gift Oct 2010.  I want iCloud to share family calendars, but there are many negative reviews of the latest Mountain Lion.  Would it be foolish to install Lion 10.7.4?  Does that have similar problems?  Thanks.

I've been using Mountain Lion since its launch. I have had zero problems.

    How do i upload a document from my MacBook Pro to iCloud?

    To get Pages Documents (and Word) to iCloud from your computer, log into iCloud.com and go to the iWork tab. Then copy that file to the page. Works with Numbers and, I think, Excel files too. But you can't copy any type of file you want to iCloud, it has to be one of the supported formats. Also, you need to have Pages/Numbers app on a device to allow syncing from iCloud to the device and to copy from Mac to iCloud.

    Hi Edmar
    iCloud storage is largely designed for syncing of daily work processes and "short term" storage for IOS devices.

  • Find my macbook pro using iCloud

    Today i loss my macbook pro 2009 model. It has Mountain Lion and iCloud enabled. also I know my My Macbook Pro serial number. But I protect it with password but guest user also enabled. My precious data is in My user's folder. Now my questions are.
    How can I find my Macbook pro using iCloud, If someone know kindly tell me in details.
    Is there possibility that user can connect to Internet because now it has not admin rights because only my name user has admin rights and it is password protected. I think if he'll connect to Internet I can access iCloud.
    How much my data is secured.
    How can I delete my data from iCloud.
    I am bit sad. Kindly help to find my mac. Thanks

    1. If you turned on Find my Mac on your Mac, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID, and select "Find my iPhone" to track your MacBook. You can see where's the Mac, lock and wipe it, but it must be connected to the Internet. If you haven't turned on Find my Mac, you can't track the computer.
    2. If he connects to the Internet using the guest user, you will be able to track, lock and wipe the Mac.
    3. It's so easy to reset your user password, so your data isn't so safe. However, if you wipe your Mac from Find my iPhone, you won't be able to track it anymore.
    4. If you want to delete data from iCloud, just open http://www.icloud.com and start deleting your data

  • On MacBook Pro, in iCloud cannot access Apple ID username to change it, from previous user. Can you help?

    On MacBook Pro, in iCloud I cannot access Apple ID username to change it, from previous user. Can anyone help?

    In System Preferences>iCloud: Sign Out, reboot and then Sign In with your ID and password.
    If Find My Mac is switched on you will be unable to sign out without the previous owners password.

  • Recently got a new iPod 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod - any suggestions?

    Recently got a new iPod Touch 4th gen; I had previously backed up to iCloud and subscribed to iTunes Match, and then wound up syncing the new iPod to my MacBook Pro; all iCloud tunes were downloaded to Mac but won't all sync to the iPod after multiple attempts, despite all songs showing properly on the Mac and multiple syncs occurring after all songs were properly reflected on the Mac.  I updated iTunes Match from the iTunes Store menu as well pre-sync.
    I should mention that I had previously had the library on a Dell (which is still running) and shared it on my home network.  While all iTunes purchases now show in the Dell, the Mac is the device I use for all syncs. 
    There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the iCloud physical sync failure - some songs were legacy, some were purchased via the PC, some on the old iPod.
    The Mac shows all the songs correctly and none show iCloud status -all have been downloaded, but the downloaded songs that were previously showing up as iCloud based aren't syncing to the iPod.
    Is there any way to force all music being seen by my iPod as iCloud to download to so I can listen to them offline?  Is there a way to force the sync from iTunes?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • How can I sync my contact on the macbook pro with icloud?

    How can I sync my contact on the macbook pro with icloud? iPhone & iPad sync with no problems, but not with the MacBook Pro.

    Go to iCloud in System Preferences and make sure the appropriate box is checked. You also need to be signed in.

  • Working with final cut x (10.0.9) on macbook pro want to add compressor cannot download 4- where can I download 3

    working with final cut x (10.0.9) on macbook pro want to add compressor cannot download 4… where can I download 3?

    It has been available at some online retailers (Amazon) and EBay – but only as part of the discontinued Final Cut Studio suite. It would be cost--prohibitive to buy and there are other more cost-effective solutions. Depending on what you need to do, MPEG Streamclip might be a (free) solution. There are others – Episode, for example, which is not cheap at $500– but less than haf the cost of buying an used copy of FCS.
    Another approach (and the one I would follow in your situation) would be to install Mavericks on an external, bootable drive. Run a copy of FCP 10.1 and Compressor 4.1 from that drive.
    Good luck.

  • Contacts are missing in Macbook pro and iCloud address book

    Hi, i backup my iPhone to my macbook pro and Icloud . When i looked into contacts, some contacts are missing and its not sync into macbook pro and iCloud also. How to fix this? how to get all contacts to my addressbook in both macbook pro and Icloud?

    I had exported an address book backup: abbu
    so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
    This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
    To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
    I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
    I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
    I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
    I feel empowered!!
    Have i missed anything??

    Your Mac can't be backed up to iCloud.
    If you have an external disk drive, you can set  up Time Machine to backup your MBP to it.

    Welcome to the Apple DIscussions.
    The licence is for one machine only, so, yes you will need to either purchase another copy, or a family licence.

    How do I get US holidays to sync from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro using iCloud?

    You don't. Subscribed calendars do not sync.
    Just subscribe to the same US Holiday calendar in iCal on your Mac.
    Subscribed calendars also not show at iCloud.com.

    If you had set up Find My Mac on your MacBook before it was stolen, go to http://www.icloud.com and log in, then press Find My <Something> there.
    If you did not set up Find My Mac, it's too late now.  You cannot track it.
