Q: I can't see my iCloud drive on my Finder ?
I just downgraded from Yosemite to Maverick IOS 10.9.4 ( macbook pro 2.3GHZ Intel Core i5- Memory : 4GB, purchased 2011 ), because it was running too slow. My mac technician suggested we return to Maverick. The problem is i can't see my iCloud drive on the Finder anymore. I tried accessing the iCloud account thru the settings panel, but i can't seem to find an option to activate it.
On the other hand i think i have 2 accounts @me.com & @icloud.com - do they merge by themselves ??
HELP please!! its driving me crazy!!!
macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

marita.tang,
iCloud Drive requires Yosemite, and as such, will not be available in Mavericks.
What do I need to use iCloud Drive?
Make sure you have iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite on all of your devices. Here are the requirements:
- iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8
- Mac with OS X Yosemite

Regarding the @me.com and @icloud.com addresses, the two (should they both reflect the same account name, such as allen@icloud.com and allen@me.com) are actually, technically, the same e-mail address, one being an alias to the other. More information can be found at the link below.
