Can iCloud be used with snow leopard on a Mac if you have an ipad2?

Can iCloud be used with a Mac that has been upgraded to it's full capacity with snow leopard if you are using it with an ipad2 and iPhone 4 ( with upgraded system)?

If you have joined iCloud on your iPad, this will be the situation on your Snow Leopard Mac:
You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email. A pictorial instruction page on doing this is here.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is)

Can icloud be used with snow leopard

I didn't see this referenced here on the community board, so I'm assuming I have to upgrade to OSX Lion before icloud will work. Is this true?

I'm afraid it is.

Hi! Has anybody succeeded in using Presonus Audio box 22 vsl with Os Mountain Lion? They doesn´t seem to connect. No problems when i used with Snow Leopard. I upgraded: Now is Kreonika not happy. Not happy at all!

In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
Would that work out for you?

I face a problem with my macbook air or i think it's from the lion OS cause i didn't happen with snow leopard OS the massage says ( you can't open the application ....... because powerPC applications are no longer supported) any advice ??

Mac OS X Lion has dropped support for Rosetta, the feature that allowed you to run PowerPC apps on previous OS X systems. Check if you can find a newer version of the app you are trying to run that supports Intel processors.
What application are you trying to run? Maybe I can help you find a version that runs on Lion.

I've just purchased an iPad 3, 4th edition. I have been using a PC with Microsoft office xp and would like to sync. My emails, contacts, word docs, photos, music now and in the future. What are my best options? Also, can icloud be used with my PC.

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4. TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD PLAYER . I KNOW THAT SHOULD BE EAZY . THANKS

You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.

I bought the snow leopard for my mac, do I have to buy it again for my macbook

i bought the snow leopard for my mac, do I have to buy it again to update my macbook?

There are two SL disks you can buy from Apple: single license (1 system, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A) and family pack (5 systems, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC574Z/A).
Single costs $29, 5-user family costs $49.
Single-use only can be used on one machine at a tiime.

IPhone 5 used with Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

My MacBook Pro 17" is an early model (2/07) and I have read that it is not capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion. So it looks like using iCloud is unavailable for me. What else on the iPhone 5 won't work with Snow Leopard?

CS 1 Works totally fine here on 10.6.8 and Rosetta is a killer feature, very fast and unobtrusive, I generally don't notice speed differences between CS1 (PPC) and CS5.5 (Intel) on the same machine for normal size files. So I have no reason to believe this won't be the case with CS2 as well. With gigantic files 5.5 certainly has the edge as it can use way more memory.
Don't forget to ENABLE rosetta on 10.6. It is no longer ON by default.

Icloud email settings with snow leopard

I have just migrated a mobile me account over to icloud on a brand new MBP, my other machines all run snow leopard so I want to set the email up on these computers as well, I have followed Roger Wilmut settings for using Icloud email with Snow Leopard but I get "The IMAP server “imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “xxxxxxxxxxx”. Can anybody help me as I have tried with 2 different macs and get the same error on both?

Ok this happened to me I migrated over my mobileme accounts to icloud on my new MBP easy, but when I went to my older machines running Snow Leopard my emails wouldn't work (password errors). The solution was to change the password on my account as Apple's new rule says that passwords need to be a least 8 characters long etc, once I change the password and re-entered my email account details my email worked straight away. Use this link to check your email settings are correct http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
Hope this helps

Can I install the ordinary Snow Leopard onto a Mac Mini Server?

I have a just-purchased 'Mac Mini with Snow leopard Server' (i.e. the model with two hard disks and no superdrive). I also have a copy of Snow Leopard - the ordinary version, not the server version. Although you might think this a weird thing to do, I may want to install 'ordinary' SL onto the Mac Mini. Is there likely to be any problem with that (I am hoping that the result will be more or less identical to purchasing an ordinary Mac Mini, except that I would have 2 disks instead of one and a superdrive)?

I've just discovered this question has already been answered:

Can I use icloud on imac with snow leopard OS10.6.8

Err Can I use icloud with iMac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 ?

This page explains what you can do on Snow Leopard with an existing iCloud account.
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
You cannot create an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
In addition to SoHo Organizer, Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month. I haven't tried this.
