Do I need OS X Lion v10.7.2 for iCloud

I just got my first iPhone (4S). I have a wireless MAC home computer OS X 10.5.8. Can I not use iCloud to automatically upload pictures I take with my iPhone unless I have OS X Lion 10.7.2? I "believe" that an app that I downloaded to my phone last night automatically was added to my apps in iTunes (I noticed it was there today but not completely sure I didn't already have it). Anyway if I can't use iCloud without having OS X Lion 10.7.2 then I guess I have no further questions. However, if I can use iCloud what all do I need to have "clicked/turned on" for it to work? thank you for any and all help.

iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion

I have a windows bootcamp on my macbook. I need to download OX Lion and Snow Leopard so I can . If I do download both programs, will I loose my bootcamp functionality?
Much apprecitive.

In addition to what Kappy suggested, please check your Mac against the hardware requirements of Lion before starting this project.

I have a MacBook pro on snow leopard - do I need to get lion prior to changing to iCloud ?

I have a MacBook pro on snow leopard - do I need to get lion prior to changing to iCloud ?

You can migrate to iCloud whilst still using snow leopard, but you will not be able to sync your calendars and contacts on your Mac.
If you are asking whether you should get Lion before or after migrating to iCloud, it really doesn't matter, but I think I would prefer to get it before migrating to iCloud .

HT4528 getting popup need to review new terms and conditions for icloud on the iPhone 5s

Getting a pop up when Iphone is activated that there are new icloud terms and conditions usually happens back to back and if on for a few minutes it pops back up. Gives options to view terms or not now. IF view now is selected it takes me to icloud settings but no way to view terms. Need to figure out what is happening and how to clear from phone. Thanks in advance

None of these things work for me, I'm so stuck!
I updated to iOS7 this afternoon, before doing so I backed everything up and cleared off a bunch of photo's so I had space. Everything had been working fine.
A few months ago I'd updated my apple ID to my new email address and it had worked fine. Now, my old email is my Apple ID and it won't let me rest it (my DOB is apparently wrong and there is no email address it's now connected to). My iTunes is connected to the correct account but the iCloud ID is still the wrong one.
I've tried the 'find my friends' app and it gave me new T&C's but still, the old apple ID
I've tried the restrictions, but that didn't work either
I can't restore the phone until 'find my iPhone' is off, but I can't log in to do that
IT'S LIKE A TERRIBLE CYCLE OF STUPIDNESS
Can anyone suggest anything before I thrrow this stupid phone at the wall??

Do I need to make any changes in iTunes for iCloud?

Hi
I have iTunes 10.5 (with the integrated iCloud, apparently).
Not sure if iCloud is going to be available in Spain, yet, but, do I need to make any changes to my iTunes account, to "activate" iCloud or something?

You'll need to sign up for an iCloud account on your Mac/PC or iOS device. As the iOS5 update and relevant Mac/PC software updates have not be released yet you'll have to wait.

Hey there JohnDent,
It sounds like your phone is associated with another Apple ID and so you cannot finish setting it up. I found this information for you from the article named:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
If the previous owner is with you and can access the device
Ask them to enter their Apple ID and password on the Activate iPhone screen (shown above) to remove the device from their account. You can then proceed through the rest of the device setup process.
If the previous owner is not present
Contact them and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Choose the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices and selecting the correct device.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been removed from the previous owner’s account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

I need to reinstall lion but CANT????

i need to reinstall lion but it asks for my apple id and password, which then says this is not the apple id that purchased lion and therefore will not allow me to reinstall. help what can I do?
i called apple yesterday and they got me to do a secure erase of the whole hard drive, but now I cant reinstall lion as per the abve reason?????

I forgot to mention, I bought this mac book pro from ebay and cannot not contact the seller to find out what their apple id and password is. Therefore I need to reinstall Lion again, hapy to purchase it in order to install it, although not sure how I install it given I have the computer, but no operating systems came with it.
is it possible to install Snow lepoard instead? I have the operating disks for snow leapoard although when I put the disk in, and tried to start up from the disk, it came up with a black screen and jumbled writing telling me to restart, which I did, although it did the same thing.
Therefore what should I do?

My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

Software update will only bring you up to the current level of the system you are using - you are at the maximum for Snow Leopard. To get Lion or higher you will have to go to the Mac App Store in Applications and purchase it there (Yosemite is free). You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements and you should particularly note that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run in Lion or above.
The requirements for Lion 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
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store. (Mavericks is no longer available.)
If the problem is only with Safari and you are otherwise happy with Snow Leopard you could switch to FireFox (free) - the latest version of that will run in Snow Leopard.

How can I check if my iMac has this update? OS X Lion v10.7.5 Update

It's not technically challenging, but it isn't clearly necessary. In any case here's how:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Bash Update 1.0 for macs OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.5

Do I upload the following update of 9/29/14 for OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.5 as I ALREADY AM USING 10.9.5 which indicates Sept 18 update - should I seek it out and load it? It DID NOT come to me as a new update - I was just reading about updates an duplaods in MAC RUMOR, APPLE INSIDER THAN CLICKE DON THE Apple KB. Yes or no? THANKS

Most Mac users are not at risk. I suspect that the next scheduled security update will include this bug fix. I suspect it was released as a downloadable patch for Mac users that do things that would put them at risk and for Mac users that are worried (perhaps needlessly).
To be at risk, you need to run a web server AND that web server must be using CGI scripts that either directly use bash scripts or use a web server that invokes a CGI script via a bash command line hand-off. Very few consumer Mac owners do this, and Mavericks does not include the ability to easily start a web server.
Or you need to configure your Mac to allow anonymous ssh (Secure Shell) logins. This would be someone that is perhaps running a public GIT Hub source code control system. Very few Mac owners ever do anything like this.
You have enabled the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) web Interface via a Terminal Session command line command (you would know if you did this).
If you do not do any of these things, it is very unlikely you will be at risk for the ShellShock bash bug.
NOTE: This bug is very serious business for commercial web servers running on Unix platforms, so I'm trying to downplay the seriousness, just that you have to be a member of a select class of Mac users to be at risk with your Mac OS X system.

Mac OS X Lion (v10.7) Thumb Drive

Hello,
On the page for purchasing the new Mac OS X Lion (v10.7) which this link leads to: http://store.apple.com/au/product/MD256Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA (Note: THIS LINK LEADS TO THE AUSTRALIAN STORE, HERE IS A LINK TO THE UNITED STATES STORE: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256), there is this:
Important Note
When you install OS X Lion using the USB thumb drive, you will not be able to reinstall OS X Lion from Lion Recovery. You will need to use the USB thumb drive to reinstall OS X Lion.
I wanted to know if I could use this thumb drive to recover Lion when I have used the Mac App Store for the original installation?
Thank-you.

HT5167 I have version 10.6.8, how do I get to OS X Lion v10.7.4?

I have version 10.6.8, how do I get to OS X Lion v10.7.4? It won't download.

If you go to the Purchases tab in the App Store, do you see Lion listed there? If so, does it show a progress bar, or something else? If it says there was an error, you may need to restart the download. Note that you need to keep your Mac on and awake while downloading... you may want to go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver and set it to sleep "never." Make sure your MacBook is plugged in, of course, and that you change the sleep settings in the Power Adapter tab, not for the battery.

Upgraded to lion v10.7 java would no load cause of no Internet connection. Internet was working. Was able to connect to the Internet with no problem.

Upgraded to lion v10.7 during installation java could not load because of no Internet connection. But when asked to check for a Internet connection. No problem could not be found. Now error message randomly pops up saying java could not load because of no Internet connection. There is no problem with the Internet connection. Anyone know how to fix this problem. This popup is getting annoying.

Restart, ensure you're connected wired and not wirelessly, and launch Java Preferences.app in /Utilities. That should bring up a dialog saying you need to install the runtime version. Do it and that should fix your issue.
