Why is icloud not listed in my updated macbook pro's systems preferences, there is mobileme instead?

I use a Samsung Android, two mac book pros, a large desktop mac, a Kindle Fire, and recently bought a preowned iphone 5; want to synch it with my mac book pro. I have an icloud email but nothing from my macbook is connected with it except maybe itunes. icloud is not the way I sign on when pening my personal macbook. But the only id I could use to get into the iphone was my icloud id. I want to get "Everything" together but when attempting to set up icloud in my personal macbk at system pref.s there is no icloud listed only the ancient "Mobilme" . I have done all the updates, why is icloud not in there and what can I do to set it up?

If you are seeing mobile me, then you are running 10.6.8 or earlier. iCloud came out in 10.7. So your device "may" be updated as far as it can, but it is not far enough to use iCloud. You can try to upgrade to 10.10 (which is free), or if your system is not capable, you may have to pay for lion or mountain lion.
HTH.

Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s).

I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

Why Family Share not show up on my MacBook Pro? Help

I am supposed to be part of a Family Share account. I can access Family Share & other family member's purchases on my iPad but NOT on my MacBook Pro that is running Maverick OS. I log into iTunes, click on the drop down window at the top where my name is located but when the window drops down Family Share is not an option nor am I able to see the names of the other family members in the group. I have tried going to "System Preferences" to "iCloud" and then try to look for "Manage Family" but it is not there. Even if I then if after getting to "iCloud" & logging into "Account Details" there is not anything about "Manage Family" or "Family Share"
Can you not participate with Family Share using Maverick OS?
I would REALLY appreciate assistance with this issue.

Hi susieqk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The reason you are not seeing the Family Sharing account on your MacBook Pro is because Family Sharing requires OS X Yosemite on your computer.

Why Apple did not provide Installation Disk in MacBook Pro Mac OS Lion 10.7?

I want to reinstall my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion , I want to reinstall it without using Ethernet, Wi-fi, etc... I want to reinstall using a Installation Disk but there is no Installation Disk when I bought my MacBook Pro. Why Apple did not provide Installation Disk? It is better to have it. It is very useful. Right? I want to reinstall without using Ethernet. I want Installation Disk Mac OS X Lion! I ask price from Power Mac for upgrading . Php 1,500 .

Yeah, your right. I will pay a amount of Php 1,500 for upgrading or reinstalling to the Power Mac , . So expensive. Can I borrow your Installer of Mac OS X Lion or Mac OS X Mountaion Lion? ((= So that I upgrade or reinstall it for free?
App store. Pay what your country's App store ask. Don't be a tightarse.

Updated MacBook Pro and system won't turn on

Tonight I applied an update to my wife's MacBook Pro and it applied 4 updates to the system, no different than usual. It was plugged in and once applied it restarted then went to sleep. I tried to wake the system and it didn't do anything. I have checked the power supply on my MacBook and it works fine and vice versa with no green or amber light. I press the battery indicator light and it blinks like the battery is dead. I would think that perhaps the power connection or battery is toast except that it was working right before this with no issues whatsoever. I am hoping someone might be able to give another suggestion before I have to drive 2 hours to the closest Apple Store. Oh and I can't remove the battery because it has special screws so no resetting the SMC or whatever it is called. The system is only about a year old.

Hi rennekamp3,
If your machine currentlty won't boot past a grey Apple screen, you may find the following article helpful:

Note: If you get to the portion on starting from the Install Disks or performing an Archive/Erase & Install, you'll notice this article has not yet been updated for the more recent operating systems. In that case, you may want to refer to the following article:

Why is iMessage not synced between iPhone and MacBook Pro

wny are my iMessages no longer synced between iphone and macbookpro? I get the imessage but only with phone number not name of the person and I don't know people's phone numbers. It used to be synced but no more. Thanks

And I fought everything was intuitive and just worked.....

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

Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

It is not Mac to Mac.
Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

Mavericks update not listed in software updates on server

I have several Mac clients enrolled with OS X server. They are set to look to this server for software updates to reduce bandwidth usage. When they search for the update, it is not available. The 10.9 update is not listed in Software Updates inside of OS X Server.app. Any ideas on how to import that so my users can download it?

A generational OS upgrade like Lion to Mountain Lion, or in this case Mountain Lion to Mavericks has never (and still is not) been counted as a software update and hence is not available via Apple Software Update Server.
Even though it is now free it is still done via the App Store. If/when a Mavericks update comes out e.g. 10.9.1 this will only update earlier Mavericks versions so will not help you. However as Mavericks is free for all compatible Macs the following are solutions you should be able to use.
Greg Neagle of Disney Animation Studios and the author of the administration tool Munki, has written another tool called createOSXinstallPkg which will let you take a full operating system as downloaded from the App Store and convert it in to an installer Pkg file which you can 'run' on a Mac to do an operating system upgrade.
See http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/son-of-installlion-pkg/
I don't know if it has been tested or if it will work but in theory it would do Mavericks as well as Mountain Lion. You could therefore (hopefully) use it to build a pkg and push it to your clients via for example Apple Remote Desktop Administrator or Casper or something else.
In terms of bandwidth saving, while as mentioned above a Mavericks upgrade is not available via Apple Software Update Server and therefore running your own SUS will not help, you can run Apple's Cache Server which is another module in Server.app this will cache downloads from the App Store including the Mavericks download and thereafter anyone else requesting it will get it from your local cache.

Why is iCloud not syncing with mac address book

Addresses changed on Mac are not reliably going to the icloud. Calendars work fine, but not addresses?
Lion on MacBook Pro
Mike

Turns out I was cloning a contact using copy and paste. This created the new contact on Lion and I could edit the name to a new one, etc. however, that contact was not going to iCloud. I sent it to my email as an attachment. When opened on iPad or iPhone in iOS5 the contact info was all blank. Wow, what a surprise! Doesn't sound right to me but that is what is happening. Any contact I fully enter or edit anywhere updates thru iCloud on Lion, iPad or iPhone.
At least I now understand the behavior...don't like it, but now I know not to create contacts with copy/paste!
So does anyone know of an easy way to clone contacts when I have a dozen people to add from the same address?
