Can I go to iCloud with Mac OS 10.5.8

So my laptop is a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.8
To upgrade to iCloud, it says I need to be running Lion OS X 10.7.2
But that OS upgrade does not seem to be available for my hardware.
So - what do I do?
thanks

No iCloud for you.
But your machine is at it's end of life stage, soon you'll have a brand new 10.8 machine with iCloud, after this summer I predict.
Just make sure you have backups off the machine

So that means  if were mac.com user's we lose our email account's ?
You should be on a web based email account like Gmail or Hushmail anyway, this way you can access your email from any computer, any phone or operating system with a decent web browser.
iCloud is a iTrap, like AOL, don't fall for it unless you can upgrade your hardware everytime Apple makes a change.

  • Changed AppleID p-word and now can't login to icloud on mac mini. I use correct password and I get spinning grey wheel. I know it's the correct password cause any other p-word gets error message. Also, my time capsule is blinking amber.

    Hey jamesarm97 & diegofoto,
    On August 21st, some users may have been unable to access iCloud services for a short period of time. Apple worked quickly to resolve these issues, however you two may have experienced them. To check the current status of these systems please see:
    Apple - Support - System Status
    http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    If either of you are still experiencing issues, you may want to troubleshoot with the following articles:

  • Can I share my iCloud with my family in another state?

    Can I share my ICloud with a family member in another state?

    What do you want to share with the family member?  If each of you have their own iCloud accounts you can create private Photos Streams that only they can view.  If it's a calandar then you can create a shared calendar between the two of you. 
    However, as randers4 has warned, if you give them your iCloud ID and password they can get your email, contacts and everything else shareable with iCloud.

  • HT1277 Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

    Can't sync my icloud with mail... always ask for password

    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

    I'm sure you can, you will just need to figure out what software you need to download, then download the Mac version if it exists.

  • 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.

  • HT204053 Can I log into iCloud with an alias email?

    Noob here, did a search and couldn't seem to find an answer. (or I didnt look hard enough. ) So aplogies if these have already been asked before.
    I want to change my iCloud email address, but I've searched around here and read that you can't change it once you create it and link it to your apple ID. So, I created an alias and was wondering if you could log into iCloud with an alias email?
    For example if my iCloud address is [email protected] and my alias was [email protected], could I go to icloud.com and login using [email protected]?
    Also, what are the proper steps to get the alias email to behave like the icloud primary email;I stupidly chose a dumb icloud email address and regret it, and if I set the alias to be the only email to be able to send mail in my iphone and macbook, can I basically ignore the primary icloud email and use the alias the whole time to send and compose mail?
    Also, I don't necessarily need to know/use the primary icloud email, since I use my apple ID to log into icloud.com?
    From what I understand, the primary icloud that is linked to your apple ID is mail server, right? I'm not really sure, to be honest.
    Thanks!

    In the Mail application on your Mac, add the aliases, separated by commas, to the 'Email address' field in Preferences>Accounts>General. They will then appear in the drop-down menu for the 'From' address in the New message pane.
    They already appear in the equivalent place in the new message pane at icloud.com.

  • I can't connect in iCloud with me appleID on my Macbook

    my mac don't want to connect me to iCloud with me apple ID and my password. (the same i used to get here and he worked)
    I've tried to change 3 times of password.
    If someone can help me it would be great, i've installed OSX Lion just for iCloud... so it would be cool if it could works ! ;D

    Try resetting your Apple ID password >  Apple - My Apple ID
    Then restart your Mac.
    Try again.

  • Can I share my icloud with my partner who has a differentt apple id

    My Partner is working abroad and has an iphone a pc and his own apple id. Can we share our icloud?

    If you want to share music, apps, books etc., you need to both use the same iTunes account. many people do this and still keep their own iCloud account so they keep their own mail, calendars, contacts etc.
    If you want to share photos you will need to use the same iCloud account, even a secondary account won't help with photos..
