how do I get iCloud on my computer?

I have a new iPhone, and some of the pictures I've taken automatically showed up on my computer, but the last few did not. I don't see iCloud listed on my computer now, so how do I download it, or isn't that the problem

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Install 10.7.2 or later.


Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion


Upgrading to Snow Leopard


You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.


Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:


Snow Leopard from Amazon.com

Snow Leopard from eBay


After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.


Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:


Snow Leopard General requirements


1. Mac computer with an Intel processor

2. 1GB of memory

3. 5GB of available disk space

4. DVD drive for installation

5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may

apply.

6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.


Upgrading to Lion


First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as stated above.


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.


Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:


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


Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:


Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.


Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion


1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)

Are my applications compatible?
