Where is icloud on my mac?

I'm trying to set up icloud on my mac (10.6.8) and iphone4, it's not in my system preferences, how do I get it there?

iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
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
Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • TS4036 where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key?

    where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

    Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

  • Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream.  However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
    If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

  • When apple switch to icloud...where can I store my Mac Gallery?

    when apple switch to icloud...where can I store my Mac Gallery? any suggestions

    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.

  • Where are the pictures in icloud on my mac?

    How do I access the pictures in icloud from my mac?

    If you mean your Photostream, you access it via iPhoto.

  • When I download a Numbers file from iCloud to my Mac, it isn't the latest version.

    Today I worked on a Numbers file on my iPad 2 from 4:40 pm to 6:30 pm. A few hours later, when I tried to download the file from iCloud to my Mac, none of today's changes appeared. When I looked at it again on the iPad, on the main Numbers page where you choose the file you want, it showed a time of 4:43 pm associated with the file. However, when I opened it, the two hours of work was still there even though the time was off. I tried sending the file as an email and when I opened the email attachment on my Mac, all of today's changes were there. So the new changes are captured when emailing a file but not when downloading it.
    It almost seems as if the file hasn't made it off the iPad and into iCloud, but I can't find any information on ways to force that or know if it's been done.

    Two possible problems. <br />
    1. BlackBoard never supports the latest version of Firefox, for a few reasons. Some schools don't run the latest version of BlackBoard Vista or Campus Edition. Also, BlackBoard upgrades seem to be tied to the "school year" cycle, the changes they make to improve and update their software seem to be rolled out for the fall term so that changes aren't being made during the normal "school year" and possibly causing problems for the schools. That also may be a function of their contract / payment cycles with the schools that use their programs.
    http://www2.blackboard.com/tuneup/viewpage?name=tuneup_browser_tuneup_windows_firefox <br />
    Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition ''(version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer)'' that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.
    Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.
    My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 4.0.1 for all other web browsing. <br />
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy
    2. Firefox uses a Plugin ( you have Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator installed) to open files that aren't "internet files", like word processing documents. <br />
    I can't help you directly with Office, as I use Open Office, but there should be a preference for that Plugin within your Office preferences or options under something like Internet, to have those files '''Display documents in browser'''. <br />
    Or see this to make sure you have your "file type" set correctly. <br />

  • How do i find my files on iPhone which i stored in iCloud drive on Mac ?

    Hello. I have a Macbook pro and iphone. I stored some of my files on iCloud drive on mac and when i was looking for that files on my iPhones, i couldn't find it. Is there anyway we can find those files on iPhones or i was just thinking wrong.
    Plus i want to know more about iCloud drive. How do i use iCloud drive and what is the different between iCloud drive and Dropbox ? Thank you.

    like some documents. just curious to know where else to find when i don't have my mac with me.

  • How do i sync my iWork documents to iCloud from my Mac?

    I can't seem to sync my documents with iCloud from my mac. I've installed the latest update for Lion and there are no updates avaiable from any of the iWork applications. The Douments I create on my iPad are there but I can't seem to sync them with my mac.
    This is a really important for me as i am a part time student and i work too, so i have to squeeze whatever time i can whenever i can to produce work. I can't always carry my macbook pro so i need to work from my iPad too and i dont have time to keep copying all my files across. I have used dropbox and google documents until now.
    Thanks,
    Dubstar_04

    It would appear that there's no direct way to synchronize iWork document between a Mac and iCloud the way there was with iDisk, or at least I haven't found mention of it anywhere, and I've been searching for it as I juggle between my iPhone and my Mac all the time. The iDisk sync wasn't automatic on iPhone, whereas iCloud is, which is great, but if you want the files on your Mac, you need to log on to iCloud from a browser, download the files you want, work on them and reupload them. Not exactly what I call seemless.
    Hopefully Apple will make iCloud more easily accessible from Finder soon.

  • I cannot find icloud on my mac.  I have looked under system preferences  but it doesn't show up.

    Where do I find icloud on my mac?  I have looked under system preferences but it isn't there.  I thought I had the latest software and my iphone has icloud on it.  Now do I get it on my mac so they will talk to each other.  Can't sync calendar.

    I'm not running OSX Lion 10.7.2.  I guess that's not a free download?

  • I can't sign in to my iCloud in my mac laptop

    im trying to sign in to icloud in my mac laptop and it wont let me sign in

    I have just had this problem myself with iCloud and not being able to sign in, but my macbook Pro was brand new and right out of the box. it had the OS X Lion v.10.7.4. So, I called Apple, but they said they have never heard of this, but it has happened to many, many others. the Apple people could not help me, but where I go to university there is an awesome tech program and they were able to help me out... after 2 hours though of the techies searching the internet for answers...
    SOLUTION:
    be in your Finder and go to the menu bar.
    open the "Go" option and go down to "Go to Folder..."
    type in "~/Library/" and press enter.
    then open the "Application Support" folder
    delete the "iCloud" file/folder
    try signing back into iCloud under System Preferences
    *this is what has worked for me anyways ... and hopefully for you too.
    Also, my Safari kept quiting unexpectantly, so we installed Safari6Lion.pkg from... http://discussions.apple.com/message/19096754#19096754

  • HT4759 Is iCloud not available Mac OS X version 10.6.8

    Is iCloud not available Mac OS X version 10.6.8? If it is, then where can I find it out?  It is not available in my system preferences.

    iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.

    Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.  If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.

  • ICloud on my Mac is using old Apple ID, how do I fix that?

    My iCloud on my Mac is using an out of date e-mail address for Apple ID and an old password.  I want to make it the same as all my other accounts and use my present Apple ID for log in.  How do I change only the iCloud's info?

    Hi Jeff D.,
    Not really a help at all.  I had visited that page and read those articles.  As I understand it, the choices are to set a new password or to find my Apple ID.  I have a functioning Apple ID and password I use for all other Apple functions requiring them.  For some reason that I cannot explain, the i-Cloud access on my Mac has another Apple ID (an older e-mail address that is no longer valid) AND a different password.  I wish to make those the SAME as my Apple ID and password I use for everything else.  I assume that requires accessing both the incorrect Apple ID and password some where and changing them just for i-Cloud.  I also am guessing I would have to log in somewhere first using the Apple ID and Password I want to change and then changing that information to match my preferred Apple ID and log in.  Where and how do I do specifically that?
    Regards,
    Reg H.

    The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
    SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?
