Change Mobile me to Icloud on System Preferences

Hello!

On my System Preferences there's still the Mobile me icon. Therefore I cannot change or set my preferences on the Icloud. Do any one knows how to change that??


Thanks in advance

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) is not compatible with iCloud, you must upgrade your version of OSX. The minimum is 10.7.2 (Lion), current is 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion).


Go to the App Store to purchase OSX upgrades.

iCloud needs OS X 10.7.2 or later and you have Mac OS X 10.6.8. You have to upgrade to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.


First, check if your Mac is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If it's supported, make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, the installer will appear, so follow the steps to upgrade Mac OS X. After upgrading, you will be able to log in iCloud on System Preferences > iCloud.
