Can I share contacts with a MacBook running 10.6.8

I have recently completed a pretty thorough equipment refresh, but I have one older MacBook running 10.6.8 (which is too old to upgrade to 10.8.2) that I'd like to keep in use.
So far so good, except that I can't find a way to share contacts with this from my machine. Is there a workaround that would allow me to sync this machine with contacts on an iPhone 5 or MacBook Pro (10.8.2)?

I might have been too fast on the solved. I did call Apple. As equipped I can't run Lion on the MacBook. But they said that if I upgraded the RAM, the Macbook would even run 10.8.2. The RAM upgrade costs about the same as the Lion upgrade so the cost is the same to me.
Will follow up with another "solved my question" after the installation completes successfully.

How can I share contacts with Android users via the "share contact" button via messaging or otherwise

Appologies in advance if this has been asked before.
I have an iPhone 5/iOS 6. My friend(s) use Android phones. At times, they request a contact I have, but every time I select "Share Contact" via the button in my iPhone's Contact list, either as an Email or Message, they recieve an unusable file format - in other words, it just doesn't get to them. If I manually copy and paste the fields into a txt, they will get the info. Is there an app, or something I need to do differently to be able to share contacts with Android users via the "Share Contact" button in iOS?
Thanks,
Nathan

Shouldn't be an issue here, as the iPhone shares the contact info in standard vCard format.

Macbook Pro running Snow leaopard can not share screen with Mac Pro running lion with "Back to my Mac"

Anyone else? When I use back to my mac, I can get access to the files on my desktop, BUT, I can't screen share. Screen share is sleected in settings and everything I know to check is set up right. Back to my Mac ir running on both machines using the same sign in.
Any ideas?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

Outlook 2013 Can't share contacts with a user

Hi,
I can generate the sharing invitation email. When opened on the recipient's side it says," This sharing message not valid. All action buttons have been disabled."
(Sender not verified) - People
Microsoft Exchange Contacts
I have been able to share these contacts successfully with other users.
I have deleted and recreated the recipient's profile.
Also, on the senders side, even though I have set all permissions to publisher, it shows the message rights going out as reviewer. Don't know if that helps.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
In order to understand the issue more deeply, I would like to clarify the following questions:
1. Is the recipient who has the problem an external user?
2. Does the issue continue if we share contacts from a different sender to the same recipient?
3. Is there any info in the application log in Event Viewer if we reproduce this issue?
Meanwhile, we may try to logon to OWA and then open the message from there to see if it will generate any error message.
Please let me know the result.
Thanks,
Steve Fan

Can I share contacts with another Apple ID (spouse)

I Would like to use the new iOS 8 share capacity but want to share my contacts with my wife. Is there a way to do it automatically, so that whenever one of us enters a new contact, the other can use it too.
currently we are using the same Apple ID on both iPhones / Ipad, computers to have this possibility.
We would like to differentiate the accounts so that we can enjoy some freedom but the contacts are crucial...
iit would be so good to have the option to share automatically photos, key chains, documents also...

Can I share Contacts with 2 iPhones?

I have an iPhone 6+ with contacts. I also have an iPhone 6 (using a different apple ID) and login on the same MacBook Air.
Question: I'd like to share/sync the contacts from the iPhone 6+ to the other iPhone and login. I can't see a way to do it.
Thanks in advance.

As I already had Windows 7 x32 installed on my MacBook and just upgraded to Windows 8 x32 it is difficult to say whether you can directly install Windows 8 x32 or have to do the upgrade Windows 7 x32 route.
I would read this thread that applies to the installation of Windows 8 on non supported Macs.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4897066
This is for getting Windows 8 x64 installed but it may work for Win 8 x32 using the switching of the CD's from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
I initially used my Windows BootCamp 3.0 drivers on the my Snow Leopard disc after using BootCamp 3.0 to install Windows 7 x32 so I would try using those 3.0 Windows drivers first and then upgrading to the Bootcamp 4.0.4033 drivers after you have booted into Windows 8.

Can I share between my Maverick Macbook and my iPhone 5 using AirDrop

Can I share between my Maverick Macbook Pro and my iPhone 5 using AirDrop

Come on Apple you are suppose to be ahead of the game. This seems kinda rediculous that you can not air drop between iOS7 devices and OS Mavericks if the both support Air Drop, I know they are different platforms but figure it out already.
Also you can not connect/communicate via Blutooth between iOS7 devices and mac. This is been an missing in action for far too long What's going on apple, Give us what we want. such a simple request. I have been asking for years to have some simple way to transfer between handset and comp. Let our mobile divices interact with our computers. HELLO!!!!
Very let down Apple Customer.

How do I share contacts with other users on my network

How do I share contacts with other family members?

Click on the Sharing button in Contacts. Several options:
You can also select a bunch of contacts and Export them as vCards. Deliver them to the Family members via disk, thumb drive, email, Airdrop, etc.
If you mean "share" as in Calendar sharing, then that is not possible.

Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:
