No icon for icloud?

Suddenly, I have no access to iCloud on my computer. I am asked to register but do not have an iCloud icon in systems preferences. Any idea about what I should do would be appreciated.

You can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts in iCloud running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don't recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates.
Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
Snow Leopard iCloud – iCal
Snow Leopard iCloud - Configuring Mail with Mac OS X v10.6 or iOS 4
I think I have to download the maverick system, but don't seem to be able to make that work.
What isn't working?

I just now downloaded Lion OS and have no icon for iCloud.

I just completed download of Lion and had no icon for iCloud. There was initially a window/pop up for iCloud but it was grayed and I was unable to open it to enter my info. What should I do now?
Thanks,

No icon for iCloud - do you mean in System Preferences, 1st item, 3rd row, or is there nothing there?

Could anyone please help! There's no icon for iCloud on my MacBook Pro under System preferences. I 'm not sure if this is connected with my previously asked question re "unknown error" in trying to purchase more storage.

Thanks AnaMusic. I didn't realise that I needed OS X Lion installed on my MacBook Pro. Bought it and installed and the icon is now there Now I'm faced with having to familiarise myself with the new features of OsX Lion and it is truly overwhelming. A step-by-step approach is called for I suppose. Thanks so much for your help

If I delete a backup icon for an old iPhone on my iPad will it delete all the photos saved from that phone in my iCloud??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It won't affect any photos in photo stream but any photos within the back up itself will go.

Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air

Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Date on Windows 8.1 is correct. Thank you.

Try doing a reset on your phone. Sounds like your carrier's time set is not getting through to your device. If the reset doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. That should do it.

Can I create an icon for a document in iCloud and place it in the dock for easy access?

I would like to create an icon for a spreadsheet that is stored in iCloud.and place the icon in the dock for easy access. This is possible with documents stored on the iMac. Thanks

How did you save Word documents to iCloud, Word will not do that so how did you? Did you use another application or maybe drop them in the Mobile Documents folder?
Please explain the how, then it may be easier to answer your question.

How can I view my photos within my iCloud account? I don't have an icon for that, like I do for Calendar, for instance.

There is no "Online Gallery" feature in iCloud.
You can use photostream instead to snyc your pictures across your devices, but not to the internet.

If you have Outlook 2007 or higher on your PC, you can print your iCloud calendar from within Outlook. If you don't, and are accessing it on icloud.com, about all you can do is take a screenshot using your print screen key and print the image.

Moved to iCloud will Sync icon go away? Any issues with separate emails for iCloud/iTunes?

Just moved from MobileMe to iCloud. Think I made a boo boo using my me.com address to set it up. I don't use it for iTunes purchases (or anything else for that matter), so now I have the Cloud working with that email address and my iTunes with another that I purchase with. I do share my iTunes account with my kids and thought maybe this was the way to go with iCloud. They have their own me.com addresses in their iPod's for iCloud and my iTunes ID for iTunes purchases. Just thinking I should have used my same iTunes account ID address accross the board.
Anyway, back to the other question...what happens to the Sync icon at the top of all our screens when using iCloud? Isn't it just for MobileMe? Will it go away in June when the service ends? If I click it does it do anything now that I am using iCloud? It seems there is a really long delay between iCal on my desktop iMac seeing changes made on my iPhone 4s or iCloud. Is that normal? Is there a way to manually "refresh" it on the desktop so it sees the changes faster?
Thanks, Sandy

No. You will need to upgrade to Lion to sync with your computer. You can use the web version of icloud but it is clunky and doesn't work as well.

Is there going to be a icon in Icloud for photostream?

I was wondering if anyone knew if Apple planned on adding a Photos icon in Icloud.com? I would like to sign into my account from any computer and see my photos. Will this be an update to Icloud?

PhotoStream is designed as a conduit between devices - it's not designed to display your photos on the website (remember that photos are held on the server for only 30 says).
If Apple had any plans to change this they wouldn't tell us.

Some playlists and/or songs "not eligible for iCloud"

I have a playlist that contains only music but iTunes Match refuses to upload it, saying it contains "other media types".
Having thoroughly gone through the contents of the playlist, I have found one song, a Frank Sinatra .mp3 ripped from a CD I own, that is listed as "not eligible for iCloud", as well as 4 songs marked by iCloud as "duplicates"
I have tried manually adding the Frank song to iCloud but its status remains unchanged.
The song, in mono, is a 733K MP3
I had to convert it to AAC which nearly quadrupled the size of the file to 3.2 MB and now it's uploaded...
However the status of the playlist remained unchanged until I also removed the "duplicates"
a) iCloud should nevertheless sync playlists, minus the ineligible tracks
b) or you should get a warning that it won't sync the playlist, and better error reporting so you can actually understand what the issue is, as opposed to the usually vague "iCloud doesn't like your track, but won't tell you why" message...
c) duplicate tracks in playlists should automatically (or after a prompt) be replaced by the original track that is in iCloud.
iTunes Match, you have wasted many hours of my time despite my well organized and healthy library.
Argh.

Ineligible
This icon is displayed next to items that are not eligible to be uploaded to iCloud via iTunes Match. Some examples are songs that are larger than 200MB or songs encoded at 96 Kbps or less.
Removed

This icon may be displayed if the song file is corrupt or if there was an error uploading the song. Try updating iTunes Match (Store > Update iTunes Match) to resolve this. If updating does not resolve the issue, try importing a new copy of the song into your iTunes library.
Duplicate
This icon is displayed when a duplicate version of this song exists in your iTunes library on your computer. This icon will be displayed next to duplicates that were not uploaded to iCloud.
Waiting
This icon is displayed when a song is in the process of being matched, but has not yet been processed.

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts- 18 movies need to go-.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only. I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6. Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them. I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account. If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account. Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).
