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.)
OS X Mavericks: System Requirements - Support - Apple

  • 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.

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican  export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT1349 How do I find where my multiple copies of Outlook are? (It said  Multiple Outlook versions installed. You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed.  To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.")

    I have just started with iCloud, and run into a problem from my PC.
    It says: "
    Multiple Outlook versions installed.
    You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are
    installed.  To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.
    I have searched and found two versions of Outlook 2013 and 2015  (one of which was inactive, but I have removed it), and one of outlook.pst, which I have removed.
    Where do I go from here?

    That's a Windows/Office problem. You should ask in the Microsoft support forums.

  • How can I use iCloud with Pages?

    How can I use iCloud with Pages?  Not offered as a Save option.

    You are stating you have MacOs 10.6.8 and iCloud isn't available with that system.

    can i use icloud with my powerbookG4 running OS 10.4.11?

    It can be upgraded, if you want more use out of it.
    It just can't be upgraded enough for iCloud.
    For example, you can upgrade it to 10.5. But not 10.7.

  • What photo gallery can I use for a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with 1GB memory?

    what photo gallery can I use for a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with 1GB memory?

    What do you mean by photo gallery?  Are you referring to what version of the iPhoto application?  What version came with your iMac? 
    iPhoto 8.1.2 would be a good choice for that system and limited amount of memory.  It comes on the iLife 09 disc which is available from 3rd party vendors like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    If you can add memory to your iMac do so.  Increasing memory to 4 GB will do wonders for the speed of the system and applications.

  • TS1702 I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also can't use iCloud with Pag

    I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also I can't use iCloud with Pages between the iPad and PC,  although I purchased extra storage in order to do this.

    If you have a PC, you don't have Pages on it. You can transfer Pages presentations to/from iCloud via http://www.icloud.com , however -- you just won't have an app on your PC to deal with Pages documents. Make sure that you have your iCloud account properly configured on your iPad.

  • I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

    I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • 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 my iPod nano and windows laptop?

    not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

    iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.
