  • HT204053 Although I have iCloud, my system preferences still show Mobile.me.  I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password.  How do I do it?

    Although I can access iCloud, my system preferences on my iMac still show Mobile.me.  I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password to be consistent with my Apple ID and password.  How do I do it?

    you need to be running OSX 10.7 or 10.8 to use iCloud i believe. It shows you are using 10.6.8 which doesn't support iCloud.

  • HT4759 enable icloud in system preferences instead of mobile me

    I've upgraded my macbook pro to the latest i0s version today.  I have aso downloaded and installed itunes.  Still when I go into System Preferences on my MacBook Pro I see Mobile Me under Internet and Wireless instead of iCloud.
    Can you help me to understand how to get iCloud to show up on that Internet  and Wireless settings?
    I have icloud installed on ipad, iphone, windows desktop.  But just can't get it on the MacBook Pro.
    Thanks much!

    You didn't - iOS is the system for iPhones. If you are running Snow Leopard the free updates will get you only as far as 10.6.8. To get iCloud you will need the paid upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. You will need to check that your machine meets the requirements,
    Lion requirements:
    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

  • I want to set up icloud, but on the system preferences only shows mobile me

    i want to set up icloud on my macbook air but is not in system preferences. where else can i look

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7; all MacBook Air models support at least 10.7.5.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.

  • I can't log into iCloud using system preferences using Apple Id

    Hello comunity: I describe the problem as follows (sorry for my english, not a native speaker):
    Background: Macbook air OS X 10.9 Mavericks (just updated), but changed my Apple ID just after that.
    -When I try to log into Icloud through System Preferences, and write my Apple ID and password, it says "the login keychain is not found" and then it tells me that the server is down and can´t connect. (I have verified my Apple ID and password and can login through the website with no problem, and I have verified that the Icloud server is fine).
    -It won´t let me go any further than that, It means I cant use Icloud in my Mac. I can access to Icloud online, but when online I don´t see my mac but I can see my Iphone and Ipad 2.
    -I have read many (a lot really) about keychains and similar problems and cant find the solution.
    I would appreciate your help!
    PD: Other information that might be related: When entering to First Aid Keychain, I provide my password and when I hit "repair" it will tell me "...library/keychains/login.keychain is not a valid keychain file and that repair stopped unexpectedly"

    I think that  is likely why you're having the problems with signing in. My keychain has been added to over many years. It has email addresses from 1997. I don't know how to clean that up. It would be nice if Apple redesigned Keychain Access to be something that actually allowed you to envisage their network. That's what bothered me about iCloud Keychain. There are so many places to change settings, type a password, and think about what that setting means. Knowledgable people who can manage a network from the Terminal, good for you. I want to launch software that finds all servers, and paints a good connection green and trouble yellow, etc. Hover your mouse over a red drive, it tells you the password needs. I think this is good enough implementation, except it is difficult for people who've never had a cryptography class to get a good idea of what their network topography is. Tell me, can you log on to iCloud.com on Safari?
    I'll hang around here to see if somebody else gives a suggestion. Sorry I can't do more.

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

  • I received an email from Icloud support that I used 4.8gb of storage out of 5.0 available. When I check on systems preferences, i show only using 228mbs. Please advise?

    The message probably was sent by mistake. Ignore it, unless you have problems with the iCloud email address

  • TS3991 When I open iCloud from system preferences, it is recognizing an old email address and will not let me in with new apple ID.  Advice?

    When I open iCloud from System Preferences it is recognizing and old email address I longer use and will not let me log in with my new apple ID.  I've tried to change my apple ID and password, but it automatically brings up the old one.  How do I change that?

    Sign Out of iCloud (in System Preferences) then Sign In with the new ID and password.

  • Can't log-in to iCloud in System Preferences using Apple ID

    Hi,
    I've recently updated to iCloud and have now also recently got a new MacBook Pro Retina running Lion 10.7.4
    I'm trying to log in to iCloud through System Preferences but when I enter my Apple iD password - it won't accept it - the process just hangs.
    I can sign in to iCloud.com without any problem - I can also sign into iTunes and my Mac email without any problem either. I can log in using my Apple iD on my iPhone and iPad too with no problem.
    I had already verified my me/mac.com email address with iCloud before this.
    A possible related problem is that now the Mail program will not remember my mac.com email address settings (I have to re-enter all the details each time I open Mail - have swapped over to Thunderbird for now) and Safari won't remember any of my bookmarks when I quit the program.
    I have also tried resetting my Apple iD password and this made no difference to logging into iCloud.
    Anybody else having similar problems?
    Thanks
    John

    I do have the same problem, can't access to my iCloud account on my Mac, but have no problems accessing with my mobile devices and through internet.
    I get a message error: "password or user name not recognized"
    On the other hand, before this problem, iCalendar was working properly, but adressbook didn't sync.
    Lets see if we get soon this problem solved!

  • Mac OS X 10.8. Login to iCloud via System Preferences invokes "You can't sign in at this time. Try signing it again."

    Reset key chain DID NOT, work for me, and I renamed the backup it made back to the original. (Note to others: I may have had permissions or other issues due to the way I upgraded to Mountain Lion by creating a new user and moving things over manually.)
    HERE IS HOW I FIXED IT: (I don't know what the ramifications are, so this will make you a backup too.)
    I threw away my Library > Application Support > iCloud folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library which will appear in the menu.
    Navigate to Library > Application Support and option-drag the iCloud folder to your desktop (that will make a copy).
    Now drag the iCloud folder that is in Library > Application Support to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
    Then try entering your info in the Preference Panel again.

  • MB Air won't let me sign in to iCloud from System Preferences. I reset Keychain Access and deleted Accounts plist. No problem signing in via web and on other Mac.

    Hi all.
    I've just been given an Air. I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything (which didn't work very well: no Contacts transferred and the Air Contacts application can't even open manually transferred Contacts Archive .vcf).
    Trying to transfer contacts led me to iCloud - I thought I could copy them from there. Then I discovered that I can't sign in to iCloud via System Preferences. I get two error messages. The most common one is 'you cannot sign in at this time'. I've tried every solution on the web: I reinstalled Yosemite. I reset Keychain Access. I deleted Accounts plist.
    The other message I occasionally get is 'This is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud account'. It is: I'm logged on fine on my MBP, iPhone and iPad.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
    Aida

    So - I have been having this same issue, and while it's not totally resolved for me, I have figured out what's causing it.  I am running a machine with two hard drives and to keep my documents on a separate drive from the OS/Applications, I used the Advanced Option to specify the location of my home drive for my user account under "Users & Groups".  I've found that if I reset this to the default path of /Macintosh HD/Users/{username}, that it works fine.  However Apple has a bug in that this functionality breaks when you specify your own home directory.  Hopefully, this will be addressed in an update.

  • Can't login to iCloud via System Preferences

    I am trying to login to iCloud through System Preferences but each time I get a message saying  "You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again".
    I've read about moving the iCloud folder from the Application Support folder, to the desktop, which didn't help.
    Does anyone have the same issue since upgrading to Yosemite?

  • Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID?  I may have a solution.
    When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in.  On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out). 
    Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code). 
    To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords".  These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not.  This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
    This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!).  Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled.  Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
    Hopefully this may solve yours

  • I have Version 10.6.8 but no icloud icon.  it still shows mobile me in system preferences.  Any idea?

    I am trying to get my Icloud working on the iMac.  when I look under system preferences, I see "mobile me" under "internet and wireless" not Icloud a the websites show I should see.  Can anyone explain this?
    thanks.

    iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later. With 10.6.8 you shouldn't see iCloud because it isn't there.
    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?

  • I have updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows the old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new ID name? Can anyone help?

    I've updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows my old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new Apple ID?

    Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
    If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
    If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing.
