Does OSX 10.6 work with iCloud?

Does OSX 10.6 work with iCloud? Thought I read somewhere that you cannot connect to iCloud if you are running Snow Leopard.

No. You need 10.7.2 or later for iCloud.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Does iPhoto 9.6 work with iCloud Photo Library at all?

    I have iOs 8.1, but I have not enabled iCloud Drive or iCloud Photo Library yet, and I have not updated to Yosemite yet. I don't want to activate those until I know how photos between thee mac and iPhone will work after they are enabled.
    Does iPhoto 9.6 interact at all with iCloud Photo Library? Does it even "see" iCPL photos similar to PhotoStream? Can it import from there? Do any of the crops and edits come through in iPhoto from the iOS photos app (whether imported from the iCPL or even via direct d/l from the phone via usb?

    So what are you guys doing to manage your photos until the OSX Photos app come out? Just not using iCloud Photo Library at all I assume?
    Can you use iCloud photo library but still manually import photos into iPhoto from USB import?
    You can view your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and download from iCloud Photo Library (Beta) at https://beta.icloud.com  or https://www.icloud.com  on your Mac, if you click the "Photos" icon. Click the "?" mark, to view the help for "Photos". But you cannot yet upload directly from your Mac to this library, even if the iCloud Photos Help is saying otherwise.
    You can download to your mac from your devices using USB, but with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled on your iPad or iPhone, you can no longer sync photos to them using iTunes Photo sync. So it is hard to get any photos onto your devices at the moment, other than using Photo Stream. To upload  photos to your iPad/iPhone using iTunes you have to disable iCloud Photo Library. And the synced photos will be erased, when you enable iCloud Photo Library again.

  • TS4006 Does find my iPhone work with iCloud on a PC?

    Is there a way to get the "Find My iPhone" application to work with a PC running windows XP or windows7 ??

  • Does osx 8.4 work with airplay on itv

    My iTV does not see the desktop of my computer.  I want to play an amazon video or use it to teach with a word doc.  Is it possible?  I have osx 8.4?

    ACR 8.4 has already been released for Elements 12.
    You can check for updates using Photo Editor / Help / Updates on Windows.  ACR 8.4 is only compatible with newer OSes, though, so if you have tried updating and everything shows as being up-to-date, then perhaps that is the issue.
    What OS do you have?

  • Does microsoft word 2010 work with spaces in osx 10.5.8?

    does microsoft word 2010 work with spaces in osx 10.5.8?

    In order to set up and install the new AirPort Extreme:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    would it work with my older osx 10.6.8?
    Yes, if you set up the new AirPort Extreme using the guidelines above. The 10.6.8 Mac will be able to connect to the AirPort Extreme, but it will not be able to make any configuration changes.
    Only the devices listed above can be used to set up and make any changes to the new AirPort.

  • Does keynote 09 work with iCloud?

    I can't seem to get Keynote to sync in icloud. It is the '09 version. Do I need to download the $9.99 app from the app store...is that a version that would work?

    In OS X Keynote 09 (version 5.2) works with iCloud. If you want to sync with an iOS device then you need the iOS app on that device. This is working for me although I have to stop and think about it every time I won't to use it. Either I don't use it enough or it is not intuitively obvious. I think the latter.
    It does work and many more of the functions work in iOS than they did a few months ago.

  • HT201250 Does time machine work with iCloud?

    I'm new to Apple - not sure if Time Machine can work with iCloud instead of an external HDD. It would seem that iCloud would be the best place to backup to since it is available - just get on the internet and its there.

    TIme Machine doesn't work with iCloud.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
    The backup volume has to be large enough to hold at least one copy of all the data you want to back up. The more space it has, the longer your backup history will be. It does not have to be any particluar multiple of the size of the volume(s) you back up.

  • My apple i.d is connected to an email account using pop server. iCloud does not seem to work with this. When I connect to i cloud there is no mail. How do I correct this since I can't change my apple i d

    When I purchased my computer I installed  office for mac so I susally used outlook with no problems. My original apple id is the same as my pop server based e-mail account.  I had an old me.com account but never used it. When I set up i cloud on my macbook I could not get my email to download to the cloud. My calendars, contacts and everything else works. At one of the Mac stores a salesman told  me I needed to re  route my e-mail to a Google Account, which I did but still no icloud mail. I now have my original pop mail account , the google account ,i cloud and I still can't get i cloud to work with my office for mac outlook.  HELP I want one account that uses the cloud How do I make this happen?

    Your pop account won't work with iCloud, it's the alternate me address you get when you create an iCloud account that works with iCloud. Outlook won't work with iCloud either, you need to use Address Book, iCal etc etc.

  • My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud?

    My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud? i'm trying to download past purchases from her id, but itunes is saying that I can't because the computer is associated with my apple id. Can I associate the computer with both ids for the purpose of identifying all of our music with both or just one of our ids? Is there a good way to do this? I'm sure we're not the only people with this problem...
    Using 2 iphone 3gs, ipad, mac mini, appletv, itunes for windows, macbook, and imac.

    iTunes- How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
    You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Messages Text Invitation Alert does not seem to work with AIM account

    Back in the days of iChat - I had a Text Invitation Alert setup to play a sound and repeat that sound.  This way if I was away from my computer, it would keep making noise until I accepted/declined the IM.
    Now I upgraded to Mountain Lion and am using Messages which replaced iChat.  The only account that I have is an AOL Instant Messager (AIM) account.  During the upgrade, it kept my setting of a Text Invitation Alert set to repeat.
    A couple of things that I notice - when I closed an iChat conversation, that was the end of the conversation and a message from someone after that point was treated like a new Text Invitation.  With Messages - I actually have to 'delete the conversation' as all of my conversations are in the same application window.
    Here is where the problem comes in... having NO active conversations (i.e. nothing is shown on the right side of the Messages window except 'No Conversations') and having the application closed but my status set to Available - it does NOT play the Alert sound, only bounces the dock icon once.
    Having NO active conversations but the application running in the background it performs as expected.
    With iChat, a text invitation was treated the same way if the application was closed or if it was running in the background.
    Since my default is to have the application closed (with my status as Available), I am looking for Messages to provide the same functionality with regards to Alerts.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Red

  • Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts?  Thanks Elainecontacts

    My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
    Thanks

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user.  That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) .  When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device.  You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc.  itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
    It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.
