Has anyone had trouble with Find My Mac in the iCloud pane in System Preferences turning itself off? I've been noticing that sometimes i'll go onto iCloud.com to track it just out of curiosity and find that it says offline, so i go check System Preferences and it's unchecked. But i haven't touched it since i turned it on. I've this happen several times.
When I recently picked up my new iMac at the Apple Store, during the supervised set up, they had me sign up for iCloud even though I have no IOS devices to sync to. I checked off iCal Contacts, and Bookmarks. I did not realize at the time the significance of doing so. Since I have no other device to sync to and have a constantly updating clone of my system iCloud is useless to me. However I have been reading that if i switch iCloud off all of my data (contact ICal and Bookmarks) will be removed from my mac. If this is the case how can I turn off iCloud off and get this data on my mac?
Since Reminders was released, I have had them synced fine between my phone and computer. However, in the past week this is no longer happening. I'd like to turn on my reminders on both my iPhone and MacBook without turning on my iCloud calendar sync. However, it seems that on the iPhone end of things, I can choose to turn on just reminders, while on my computer they are lumped together in the same checkbox (see images.)
I would be okay with syncing them via my gmail, but again there is a discrepancy in the options I have. On my phone, no reminders option exists, but on my accounts tab on my laptop, there it is: reminder sync with gmail! I have also posted images of this. I found out that if you turn on calendars AND reminders on both ends, then the reminders work. Which is not what I want.
So my question: how can I sync reminders with my computer from my phone, without having to sync my iCloud calendar? Note that i use google calendar exclusively, for work/personal use. I have NEVER used iCloud calendar, never had it synced, and my reminders have worked fine until now.
UPDATE: before, i could get reminders to work by turning reminders+calendars on and off on both devices in iCloud. now it doesn't work at all, no matter what!
I have a new MacBook Pro 13'. I already configured Icloud and I can find on maps devices sucha as Ipads, Iphones and Mac´s, but something is happened with my own MacBook Pro, I cant locate it on the Maps, I only see the image of the MacBook Pro and the instruction for locked it or send a message. I did all troubleshooting explained on support web page (location activevated on security, etc) and the problem still remains.
I have 4 devices on my iCloud account. Find my iPhone can see 3 of those (1 iPhone and 2 Macs) but the 3rd Mac is still invisible after I reinstalled Lion. I enabled Find My iPhone in the prefs like I did for all other devices. What else?
I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. A few months ago, I switched from Mobile Me to iCloud. Today I was having trouble with the account being "offline", so I went into Mail preferences and re-entered my password for icloud. Somehow, I now have Mobile Me (inactive) on my computer, but no icloud to be found. When I try to sign in to icloud, it tells me that I am already signed in and to change accounts, I need to delete my icloud account and sign in again
MacBookPro is not seen by Find My Mac, in iCloud. Says it is offline. iCloud is established and open.Running OSX 10.7.4. WiFi and ethernet connection to internet, all iCloud Preferences ticked.
I have OS 10.7.4 but can't find iCloud on my computer. I am missing something for sure. I'm sure it will be a "DUH" moment, but I really need to get picture off of it from my iPhone.
Had 5 aliases when I switched ti iCloud. Now my "accounts" indicate I have only three and even those three DON'T show on my accounts page.Since I moved my non-compatible MacBookPro to iCloud a couple weeks ago and received a validation eMail that my stuff would still work, what do I do now?If you had five MobileMe email address aliases when you moved your account to iCloud, you retain the five aliases. However, once you delete one of your five aliases, you can’t create a new one to replace it.I have various financial locations using each of these aliases and need to have them available today.
Info: MacBook Pro (17-inch), Mac OS X (10.5.8), 1024MB memory & 2meg on Pro
When I go to iCloud on my MBP I only find options for Mail, contacts, calendar, find my iphone and iWork. How do I get to the rest of my iCloud content? I want to share my journal among other things.
How do I find my password for my .mac account? I open up 'Mail' on my macbook and this comes up - The iCloud IMAP server [URL] rejected the password for user “************” where to find out what this password is.
I was able to use find my iphone, but it only shows my own phone. the phone that i am missing is on the same account, but it belongs tomy daughter. how can i find that iphone.
i have been asked by the police to find out if there any way to find two mac laptops that have been stolen.they have itunes and icloud on them... can we turn them on by remote computer.they also have find my phone app?
I followed all instructions to move to icloud. On my iphone and ipad I can see "icloud" in my system preferences. But not on my macbook.. Nothing is sincing.
I cannot find my former .mac email aliases - one of which I use for business and is on all my business stationery. I don't want to change it if I don't have to. I don't see it in the list - only the new @me address. It was my understanding that all my aliases would remain intact.
