Can I use icloud on Mac OS 10.6.8

MMac 10.6..8 OSs, have huge itunes library, can I use icloud to store these files

iCloud requires OS X 10.7.5 or higher.  However, iTunes Match doesn't require an iCloud account, and can be subscribed to separately in iTunes (see iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match).
Also, while you can use iTunes Match to store your music in iCloud and delete it from your Mac, it isn't recommended.   Before you do, be sure to read this first: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup.

  • Can I use iCloud with Mac OS X - version 10.6.8

    I have Mac OS-X version 10.6.8 on my MacPro.  Can I use iCloud?

    You can purchase Lion from Apple's website. You will be emailed a redemption code where you can download it from the App Store. Alternatively, you can upgrade directly to Mavericks (which is free, availible in App Store) if your system supports it:
    OS X Lion (10.7) - Apple Store (U.S.)

  • HT4759 How can I use iCloud with MAC OSX Ver 10.6.8?

    Mobile Me has been discontinued and my under 3 yr old MAC does not have the system requirements to support iCLOUD.  Trying to find an iphone with an app that will work on a MAC OSX Ver 10.6.8.
    Thanks

    You're welcome.  In order to connect to your iCloud account on your Mac it has to be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  You would need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud if your system meets the system requirements.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download 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.

  • Can I use icloud between Mac and Windows devices??

    I have over 140 gb of music on my windows desktop pc and will be purchasing an ipad soon.  I also have a windows laptop which i'd like to share my itunes library with. My current ipod is a 160 gb classic.  I have no problems updating that as long as the laptop/pc/ipad are synced.   If  I purchase the unlimited icloud storage will I be able to push the music to an Ipad or Iphone??  I'm eventually going to switch my next desktop to a Mac, but the incompatibility of the music collection I've collected over the years is my main deterrent.

    No, at the present time Airdrop is not supported on iOS devices.
    See here for compatible machines

  • Can I use ICloud as complete back up for my mac?

    Can I use ICloud as a complete backup for my Mac Pro? Word Files, PDFs, Excel etc>?

    No.  iCloud is not a general file/document storage service.  There are some alternative cloud-based services that provide this listed on Roger Wilmut's site here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/inicloud3.html.

    You will need to setup a new Apple ID for your sister.  You have to have an Apple ID and iDevice connected and using that account to get an iCloud account.

  • HT4859 can I use icloud to backup my mac?

    can I use icloud to backup my mac?

    iCloud does not provide general file storage, nor backup for Macs (only iOS devices): and if as your signature states you are running 10.4.11 you can't use iCloud at all except in the single case of being able to access email on a pre-existing iCloud account.
    If you want online storage/backup you will need a third-party alternative - this page examines some options, but note that it's likely that they all require a reasonably recent system:

  • HT4759 I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Can I use icloud?

    I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Can I use icloud?

    You need Lion (10.7.2 or later) to take advantage of iCloud's features.

  • Can I use iCloud on my iPhone and iPad only? I have not updated my Mac to Lion.

    I haven't upgraded to Lion for a couple reasons. Can I use iCloud without having Lion on my Mac?
    Thanks!

    Many thanks for your prompt reply. I did indeed check that my ID was the same on both devices but I have just decided to re-enter my Account name and password on my iPhone under Settings/iCloud and this time suddently it created a Photo Stream album on my iPhone under Photos/Albums that did not exist before and I now have 43 identintical pictures on both my iPad and my iPhone so I don't know what magic you have but it worked and all is now well. Many thanks indeed from an admirer in the UK!

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

  • Can i use icloud to save changes to logic 9 projects on different macs?

    hi peops, can i use icloud to save projects on logic 9? I use an imac at home but use my macbook pro away from home. everything is duplicated but find it a pain consolidating and have forgotten sometimes to updat a project on 1 machine or the other. iCloud seems a great way of doing what i want where ever I want
    thanks in advance

    Logic isn't compatible with iCloud, so you have to save files on both computers

  • Can I use iCloud on my Windows 7 pc when I don't have any other devices

    I only have a Windows 7 pc and a Windows 8 laptop.  Can I use iCloud on these two devices.   I can't find anywhere to open an iCloud account.

    You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using your iCloud ID on your PC.

  • Can I use iCloud to since many users to one account for my business and have me as a administrator to oversee and change peoples calendars?

    Can I use iCloud to since many users to one account for my business and have me as a administrator to oversee and change my employees calendars and contacts??

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • How can I use iCloud to receive emails from my GMail account and when I reply, the reply email shows the email in which it was sent to, not the @iCloud address?

    I have my GMail account forwarding my emails to my @iCloud.com account which I like, but when I reply, it shows my address as @iCloud.com instead of the email address that was originally addressed to. Anyway to have iCloud reply to emails using the email address in the original email?

    You can't use iCloud's outgoing server to send with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address. On your Mac you can set Mail to use the GMail outgoing server with your iCloud account (but then you can just access your GMail there anyway, so there's little point). On the iCloud website you can't do this; there is no way of using your Gmail address.
