HELP! My macbook is up to date on software, but not showing the iCloud app to help connect to my iPhone 5. What do I do to update to cloud and connect the two devices?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. You will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store. If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.
My macbook pro is up to date on it's software, but it's still showing me the prior "mobileme" app where my "icloud" should be. How do I download iCloud for my macbook pro?
