    MobileMe was discontinued in 2012 and was replaced by iCloud, which needs OS X 10.7.2 or later.

     

    Try to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

     

    After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, open System Preferences > iCloud, and set it up.

     

    If you want a cloud storage service, I recommend you to use Dropbox or SkyDrive, as iCloud is not designed to store files on the cloud
