Why can't I connect to iCloud on my macbook pro?

Why can't I connect to iCloud on my macbook pro?

Not sure what you've tried so far to connect. But, make sure you have an Internet connection and log into iCloud with your Apple ID/password from System Preferences/iCloud.
If the OS X you're running is prior to 10.7, you won't be able to use iCloud as this feature was added to OS X beginning with OS X Lion (10.7).

  • Why can't I sync iPod touch calendar with macbook pro any more with latest OS X?

    since most recent software update with my macbook pro, contacts, calendar no longer syncs when I connect ipod touch with macbook pro. hate the cloud and want to stay "old fashioned". how can I?

    If you have Mavericks the only way to sync those items is via iCloud.
    If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • Why can I log into some websites on my MacBook Pro and not on my MacPro?

    Only just started happening...I have used 3 different browsers on my MacPro and still can't log into some webpages where a password is required.
    Flickr, eBay, some on line shopping sites....
    i have deleted cookies, cache, history, everything. Reinstalled the application (Firefox and Safari) but nothing.
    Go to my new MacBook Pro and it connects..
    I plan to do a full combo download and install of 10.6.8 however can't work out what's broken? I use Virus Barrier and MacScan but have (I believe) turned them off.

    Thanks for the advice everyone.
    Working through them without much luck...
    New user didn't help.
    Have turned off MacScan.
    No improvement as yet.
    P.S. Not sure how MacScan and Virus Barrier X would interact as they seem to do different things... I got both of these as apps in bundles so didnt really specifically buy them.
    I can't see any proxy setting in network preferences so will need to go into virus barrier and check.
    Reading the "recommended text" on Virus's for homework.
    Tomorrow it will be Appzapper for them both if the patient shows no sign of improvement.

  • Why can't I play Blu-ray Disc on MacBook Pro?

  • Why can't I receive a fax on my MacBook Pro?

    I have just purchased an Apple USB modem to be able to use the fax software that came with my new MacBook Pro.
    I sent a fax to Japan - no problem - it went fine and was received.
    However, I was not able to receive the reply. The incoming fax was not recognized by the MBP. I set the number of rings at 2 for the fax to be automatically picked up by my computer, but the phone kept ringing and the computer never got the fax. I checked all the settings and they are all OK. The menu bar pull down for fax never even showed me "Answer Now" to let me manually get the fax. All it shows it Status : Idle... in grey - not clickable.
    I quickly turned on the G4 and asked Japan to resend the fax. I got it fine.
    I've read a few other entries here - seems like the fax software with OS X is not very good.
    Does any one have any suggestions for what I can do? (My G4 is dying and I don't want to rely on it for faxing.)
    OR could it be my new modem? But it worked fine for sending...

    I don't have Leopard but I've seen Leopard's Sys Prefs Print& fax and it's kinda sorta similar to Tiger's. So I'm going from memory here, okay? In Sys Prefs' Print&Fax, you should see a list of printers and fax modems on the left hand side. If you single-click on the Apple USB modem that should be on that list and authenticate, it should "ungray" a "Receive Options" button. Then click on it. A new window opens. Is the "receive faxes on this computer" checkbox checked?
    Or are you still running Tiger on your MBP? Then in Sys Prefs' print&fax, faxing panel, is the "receive faxes on this computer" checkbox checked?

  • Why can't I make a call to a macbook pro

    I try calling my daughter's macbook pro, using her email address....it says connecting, but never connects....she says it freezes on her end.  She is able to facetime with other macs okay.

    If the Mac is that new, it's 10.6 - Snow Leopard.
    Have you tried to FT with anyone else?

  • Why can't I finger scroll on my 17" MacBook Pro, 3.1?

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro, Model 3.1 and since I have installed Lion, I can no longer finger scroll.  I am able to scroll using the scroll bar, but not the fingers.
    Are the older computers not able to accommodate the all the new finger scrolling advances?

    Older laptops do not support the newer gestures; my Macbook is an early 2009 and does not. Your model is from late 2007/early 2008 - I would say gestures are not supported. Not sure where the cutoff was - I think it was late 2009 models.

  • Why can't i find iWeb on my new MacBook Pro

    I have a new and completly updated MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.8.2, but i can't find iWeb in my system. How come? And where can I find it? Maybe download iWeb elsewhere?

    iWeb, along with iDVD, was discontinued by Apple from before Lion was released.  If you have the disks that came with your previous Mac you can use the disks that came with it to install iWeb.  Or if you have your previous Mac you can just copy iWeb from it to your new Mac.
    Be warned that iWeb 2 does not play well with Mt. Lion.  iWeb 3, however, works fine with Mt. Lion.  If you didn't have iWeb 3 previously you can get it by purchasing iLife 11 or 09 from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: iLife 11 or eBay.com.
    The following will help you launch your website in iWeb the first time:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Why can't I use my archos with my macbook pro, why can't I use my archos with my macbook pro

    I have a archos 10.1 and I want to transfer movies to it from my external hard drive, but it does not appear on my macbook pro

    How are you connecting it? I don't know that you might not need an app for it to be recognized on a Mac... iPads are easy... other tablets, not so simple.
    I assume that it will connect to your router via wifi... have you tried to discover it on your network from your Mac (as you can do with a PC)?
    Sorry,

  • Why can't I install mountain lion on my macbook pro?

    It still works.  I bought it in 2007.  What will I have to give up?

    Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," "More Info," "System Report," "Hardware," to identify your Mac. You need to have a MacBook Pro 3.1 as a minimum to support ML.

  • Why can I not access iTunes Match on my MacBook Pro?

    I want to subscribe to iTunes Match, but when I click on the 'Match' tab in iTunes 11.1 it just shows 'iTunes Match' and none of the descriptive text I have seen previously.  I have seen this as much as two days ago, and now it's not there.  It seems like all links are broken as when I click 'Subscribe' from the web it does nothing and clicking 'Turn On iTumes Match' frm the iTunes menu does nothing.
    I've tried restarting with no success.  I am on a 2011 MacBook Pro, running OSX 10.8.5.

    Try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and log out of your account and then log back in and see if the store's pages then show. If if doesn't then you could try closing the iTunes store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it, and/or try a soft-reset.

    why can't i connect to my iphone after updating to 7.1.1? i don't even get the screen that lets me login into my apple account??? plz help my phone was stolen and through help of the police i recovered it and now i can't access my phone

    You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
    Call your our cell carrier first.
    then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.  
    NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

  • Following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions?

    following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions as this is messed up all of my work relations?

    Had the same problem this morning after updating to 10.8.2. Mail was finding my dot-mac account as always, but System Preferences popped up and said my iCloud password was incorrect. Did the "forgot password" reset, but still had the same problem. Then I went to icloud.com in Safari, logged in with the new password, it worked no problem. So I went back to the icloud preference pane, signed out of icloud, answered yes to all the warnings about data being deleted from my mac, blah blah blah, then re-signed in to icloud. Everything worked. I did have to set up my icloud account in Mail again, which now lists the account mailbox as "iCloud", and not "mac.com" as it did before. But so far, everything is working (fingers crossed.)

  • Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

         Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
    When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
    LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
    LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's 
    LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
    but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
                            THANK YOU!

    If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
    Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
    And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
    Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
    Good luck & happy computing!
