My IMac don't have Icloud in the system preferences?
I have a IMac I5 and don't have ICloud on the system preference. What do I do to install ICloud on my system preferences?
I believe that icloud requires OS 10.7, your post indicates that you have 10.6.8.

I don't have iCloud in my system preferences, I am using 10.6.8 how do I see how much storage I am using and how do I purchase more?
You can't check your usage on the iCloud website - you have to do this from the iCloud prefs pane, which you don't have. If you are only using it for email you would have to be storing an awful lot of messages to exceed 5GB. If you are concerned about this you can download some of them to your Mac and off iCloud.
To do this simply create a folder under 'On My Mac', go to the iCloud mailbox, select some of the messages and drag them to the folder you created. Don't try to do too many at once (say more than 100) and allow time for them to download.
If you haven't yet set Mail up to access iCloud, but are simply using the website, you can set it up as detailed here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
If you do decide to upgrade, the latest version of iPhoto is only £10.49, though MS Office is more of a problem. But you can go on as you are as long as your Mac holds out - Snow Leopard is a good solid system. -

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
How can i get icloud on my mac when I don't have icloud icon to set it up even after updating the software?
You won't find iCloud in Snow Leopard. Upgrade to Mountain Lion.

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?
RachelYour 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/ -

iCloud is only available with 10.7.5 or later. Upgrade your computer accordingly:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID.

Yes. You can use iTunes 11.
As noted, you need 10.7.5 to use iCloud though. -

My imac wont recognize my input in the system preferences
so, im on an older imac (the one with the big round base, a chrome arm holding up a flat screen) and im trying to hook my guitar into the line-in jack next to the headphone jack. i go to "system preferences" and click the "sound" tab, then click the "input" tab. it only gives me the option for the built-in mircophone, i dosent even recognize that i have a line in plugged in. the wire is in perfect condition, so there is no chance that the wire is faulty. i have tryed it with the 1/4 end of the cable plugged into my guitar, and with out, and ive tryed starting my computer with it already plugged in, and i tryed it while the computer was already running. ive recording many songs on my X-girlfrinds MacBook Pro with no isses...same guitar. same wire, and it worked great.
how can i get the "system preferences to recognize that my guitar is plugged in?!?!?
thank you!!!!

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 advanceYou 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.

HT204053 Why don't I have icloud in my system preferences?
Trying to set up icloud on my MacBook. It is not in my system preferences to click. How do I get it onto my MacBook?
That pane will only be there in 10.7.2 and newer. 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 Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.

My Logitech mouse quit working and I assumed low batteries. I replaced them and the mouse still would not connect. The Bluetooth icon on the menu bar is dimmed with the squiggly thru it and the message is "Bluetooth: Not available." The Bluetooth icon in system preferences, which WAS there before, seems to have disappeared. No selection option at all: it simply isn't there. When I click the Mouse option I get "Install a USB mouse" and nothing else. So where I do from here to get my mouse alive an well once more?
