You need to remove some of your data files - movies. music and photos can take up a lot of space - copying them onto an external hard disk.If your internal hard disk is nearly full you are going to start having problems - the system needs around 10-15% of the disk capacity for things that go on in the background.
You cannot access iCloud on 10.6.8. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.

It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
