It sounds like you are trying to turn Find My Mac on in iCloud settings on your Mac so you could track it from your phone.

Based on the following previous discussion, you need to have OS X 10.7.2 or later for iCloud on the Mac. It has some additional information: does my mac 10.6.8 work with icloud

Go to iCloud.com and sign in using your Apple ID. You should then be able to access Find my Phone.

You can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage

Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal

Snow Leopard iCloud – iCal

Snow Leopard iCloud - Configuring Mail with Mac OS X v10.6 or iOS 4
