I cannot sign into iCloud Mail from my MAC. I have tried everything that I can think of to change in System Preferences, even deleted the mailbox and reinstalled it ..... nothing works. It is fine on my iPhone 4S!!! Please help ... about to go crazy! There seem to be two accounts one from MobileMe (mail) and iCloud (calendar and contacts find my phone). I have tried moving the mail to iCloud and unticking it on MobileMe but it will not allow me to submit it!
This Apple Help page provides contact information for various countries for security problems with an Apple ID:

Hi I have a macbook air which obviously doesnt come with a disc drive, but have a disc for microsoft office i want to put on...is there a way of downloading it and using the same product key to validate? or can I do it via disc sharing from my old PC? thanks
Download the trial from the Microsoft site, then activate with the code that came with your box set.
And yes, you can use Remote Disc to make use of the DVD unit on your PC. -
I am running OS X 10.5.8 and don't see an iCloud icon in my system preferences. I do see a Mobileme icon but I would like to have all my mac devices on iCloud. How can I get iCloud on my desktop?
iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later. See the following about how to upgrade:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. 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.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 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 Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
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.

Music from my N85... how do i get it onto my mac i...
hi, can you help?? I have a mac and a nokia n85.. i am able to sync them using isync but the music i bluetooth to my mac is not able to be played by itunes as it appears as a scrambled document... i can find loads of info on how to get music from my mac to my phone but I cannot find anything on how to get music from my phone to my mac.. can anyone help??? please xxx
Do you have a back up of any kind or an iPod that has your music on it? If not you need to look for a data recovery program. Recovery programs are not particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
The policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again: "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

HT1766 i bought a song on my ipod how do i get it onto my mac?
i bought some songs on itunes on my ipod, after backing up onto icloud they are not on my mac. do i need to connect and sync? or will that erase them from my ipod?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have two options to get the music onto your Mac:
1. Connect your device to the Mac, open iTunes and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases.
2. Download these songs in the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -
Help! NOTES program...how do I get them onto my Mac???
Does anyone know if I can download a program to place my iphone Notes onto my Mac? It would seem really silly if there isn't.
Not supported by Apple at the present time - downloading/installing any 3rd party software on the iPhone requires using a hack but (and this is conjecture on my part), this is likely to be supported with the Notes feature that will be included with the Leopard Mail application.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/features/mail.html
Recall that Leopard was originally scheduled to be released prior to the iPhone's release date but was pushed back until October due to the iPhone.
If so, this will be additional motivation for OS X users that own an iPhone to upgrade to Leopard. -
Please help
Restore it as new. Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?

I brought a movie on my phone how can i get it onto my mac?
I brought a movie on my IPhone 5s and it took up 6gb on my memory i was wondeirng if there is any way i could sync it over to my macbook?
Connect the phone to your MBP. Open "Image Capture" (located in Applications, or just spotlight search for it) When you ope in, you will see your phone as the device, and will list all photos/videos on there. Simply select what you want to transfer and where you want to transfer it to and hit export. Done and Done.

Hello community,
I cannot find the icloud on my macbook pro and I have anew iphone 5. how do i get the icloud on the macbook pro?If your mac book pro still has mobileme in System Preferences but no icloud icon, then you need to upgrade the OSX to 10.7.2 or higher (Mountain Lion is 10.8.x).
By the way, if you never migrated from mobileme to icloud, then it's now way too late to do that. All your mobileme data has been deleted and you'll need to set up a new icloud account. -
Mac OSX 10.6.8 has Mobil Me. How do I get ICloud?
My Mac OSX which is running v. 10.6.8 has Mobil Me, but not ICloud. How do I get ICloud?
You can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
Snow Leopard iCloud – iCal
Snow Leopard iCloud - Configuring Mail with Mac OS X v10.6 or iOS 4
