Has Apple stopped supporting email on iCloud using Snow Leopard?
As of Friday, 27 Apr 12, I have been unable to load me.com email onto my computer although I can still bring in my other account (sbc), but I am only able to view my me.com email using the icloud web site. It loads ok on my iPhone, and I had an appointment @ an Apple store and all my email came in ok while in the store. I migrated to iCloud last year, but I'm still running Snow Leopard because of the incompatibility issues of Lion and other software, specifically Quicken.
Any ideas?

Maybe you should re-think that strategy.
I don't know, perhaps Apple found out about Roger's trick and is now banning 10.6 users from iCloud.
iClould still provides standard IMAP and SMTP services: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
IMO, just use a web based email like Gmail or Hushmail, that way any device anywhere that has a web broswer can get it.
But if you use Apple Mail, then you can access your mail wether you have internet or not.

Many online sites say no longer support .... using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on mac mini. What do I do?

Many online sites for insurance, banking, etc. say they no longer support my system. I use Snow Leopard that came with my Mac Mini and it's update if I go to the "software update" which is 10.6.8. What do I do?

Your Mac Mini is capable of being upgraded to Yosemite (free in the Mac App Store). The specified minimum of RAM is 2GB but you are likely to find it runs very slowly on that, with a lot of beachballing. I don't know what the maximum RAM is but you should consider installing extra if you can. Even so you may well find it's rather slow - Yosemite is really optimized for modern Macs running SSDs.
Snow Leopard isn't getting any more security updates by the look of things, so there's a lot to be said for upgrading it. However if you install the latest FireFox (36.0.4) that will run on Snow Leopard and should at least solve the inaccessible sites problem.
If you do decide to go for Yosemite you should make comprehensive backups: I would advise if possible cloning the entire Mac to an external hard disk, so that if you find you don't like Yosemite you can clone back and be no worse off. Otherwise downgrading is frankly a pain to do.

Making a new Apple ID is not a good idea, since you have to reset the password for that Apple ID anyway. All of your purchases are tied to the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under. So, you have to retrieve the password for that Apple ID in order to sign into iCloud anyway.
Go to Manage your Apple ID, and click on the Reset Password option (Apple - My Apple ID). Sign on with the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under, and answer the security questions. If you do not remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to have them reset:

My iPad 2 has suddenly stopped sending emails.

My iPad 2 has suddenly stopped sending emails. It puts them in the outbox but that's as far as they go. I've tried turning off ect but no joy. It puts them in the outbox but thats as far as they go.

The restrictions should have no bearing at all as to why mail is not being sent. It will prevent you from making changes to the emai account, so I don't know how you were able to try what I suggested if you can't get into your mail settings.
As for the 10 attempts ...... You get as many tries as you need with that passcode. But the catch is that if you cannot remember it and you need to get into the settings, you have to restore your iPad back to factory settings and start all over again. The only way that you can use a backup is if the backup does not contain that passcode. If you restore from a backup that has the passcode in or, you will jut end up in a never ending loop.
So after having said all of this I would have to assume that you tried my suggestion before you locked yourself out of the settings.

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

I want to change the email that iCloud uses to send security answers to and i don't know how.

Hi, i just installed my mavericks and i was going through all my settings and keychains and everyting. Last month i deleted the email account that i think we use to send the answers of the security questions on and i forgot the answers. I want to change the email that iCloud uses to send security answers to and i don't know how. Can it be done?

You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails. I have tried every trick and it's still not working.

My iPad has suddenly stopped receiving emails from the mail app.
I've been looking through the forum for hours and tried every variation of deleting the account, re-adding it, rebooting my iPad etc. I've tried everything! And I still can't receive emails.
My drafts, sent emails and junk emails are all there but my inbox is empty and it's refusing to download the messages.
When I refresh it, "downloading 1 of 250" pops up for a second and then disappears and it just says it's updated yet nothing is there.
Please can someone help. This is incredibly annoying!!!
My mail provider is Yahoo and my wifi is working fine.

Hi - did you get any resolution to this? I have exactly the same issue.
You tagged onto an older post. If you want an answer to your specific question, you need to create a new post. By creating a new post, you will receive emails when helpers post responses.

Where is the Sony XZ1S C6916 support page?!?! Has Sony stopped support for this device?

Hello community,
Im new to sony community so please take it easy on me. I was able to access support information from sonys own xperia z1s support page. But as of last night, that page is no longer existent and any searches for C6916 redirect me to the Z1 support page with no information on Z1S. Has sony stopped supporting this device?

I wouldn't like to say as the Z1s is a T-mobile specific locked phone and may have security features in place to only allow network signals via their firmware

My Photoshop CC and also my CS6 has suddenly stopped working. I'm using Windows 7 - 64 bit. I need help, does anyone know what to do?

We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

Has Apple stopped the free single of the week

I always look to see what the free single of the week is, but I can' t seem to find it in iTunes. So I'am just wondering has Apple stopped it in the uk.

Having the same problem here, iTunes more likely than not forgot/screwed up.

Has Apple stopped installing the liquid contact indicator inside the SIM slot opening on the 6 & 6+? I've inspected several devices and they are not installed.

I don't know that Apple has ever officially commented on such things, one way or another. Places like ifixit will be your best sources for such information - https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/200937/How+many+water+indicators+or+sensors+ are+there+in+the+iPhone+6
certainly none of us fellow users know what Apple's official current policies in such things are.

Icloud on snow leopard... why not? if a PC user can use it, why I can't on my Snow Leopard?

I wonder why a PC user can use iCloud on his PC... and a Mac user can't use iCloud on Snow Leopard... I'm not talking about use it on Tiger or Jaguar... I'm talking about Snow Leopard!!!!
I think you must do something, for the all real Mac user who can't upgrade every time to the latest version.
How you didn't think that there are ppl who work with Mac and not only kill the time like the switchers

The kinds of things that security updates on Mac OS X has required tweeks for have been just that, tweeks in comparison.
Sorry brody, I'm going to call your bluff on that one

It is not to say you shouldn't update the security on your Mac, it is to say that you can do that, as long as everything else is ready to be updated and your data is backed up.
The issue is Apple isn't allowing updates because they are ignoring older OS X users.
Apple only fixes the issues in the last two operating system versions in circulation, there are many people still using 10.4 and 10.5 on their Mac's just the way rthey bought them from the store. Come this summer, given current Apple behavior, they will start ignoring 10.6 users as well
My Early 2011 17" MacBook Pro is only 1 year old, but in a few months my 10.6 operating system will become insecure. This is stupid for a $3500 machine!
Sure I could update to 10.7 or 10.8 (waiting for 10.8 actually) but lets say I'm the 90% of the average Apple customers who only run Software Update AT BEST and just use their machine like they do cars, put the gas in and go? Never doing the maintainence?
Is it right for Apple to deny all these users essential security updates? Especially given those links above of the quantiity involved of the patches?
Is it right for Apple to leverage security as a means to force pre-mature hardware turnover?
Apple is a big company and they need to think responsibly and support their OS versions for a proper amount of time.

Using iCloud in Snow Leopard

I have spent the better part of a morning researching how to use iCloud with Snow Leopard. I found that iCal Contacts and Mail can be synced with iCloud on Snow Leopard. There are several posts on how to accomplish this. I was sucessful in setting up my iCal to sync with other devices using iCloud on Snow Leopard.
I have tried at least a dozen times to get my Contacts to sync with iCloud and Snow Leopard after finding several posts with explicit instruction as to how to do it. However, every atempt has failed. Each of the instructions I followed were slightly diferent. I have not found one that worked. Blog posts are filled with success stories of how others have gotten it to work, but not me. I can set up Address Book with an iCloud account but when I select iCloud as my list of addresses, all I get is a message saying "no Card Selected."
I am very frustrated that I canot get this to work while others sing praise of their success.
If anyone has a definitive answer as to how to get Contacs to sync through iCloud in OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) please let me know.
Thank you.

There is no definitive answer, iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard, so you are reduced to hacks which may or may not work.
Google for Contacts solutions, there are some, some which work, some which don't. And some that do and then don't.
If you want a supported solution then you must use Soho Organizer, it supports iCloud on Leopard through Mavericks. But it's $99

No iCloud on Snow Leopard? THIS IS A JOKE, APPLE!

Right now I'm thinking about leaving Apple products behind for good. So I can't use iCloud on Snow Leopard (which is not that old)? Meaning my syncing (contacts, bookmarks, calendars etc.) will just stop when they shut down MobileMe in 2012?
GREAT WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS, APPLE!
I can't update to Lion (various reasons). So now what? Dump the crap Macbook+iMac+iPhone in the toilet? Should be a great idea!
VERY PROFESSIONAL, CONGRATULATIONS!

Same here.
I own Lion. I uninstalled Lion. Because, I am suffering the problem of failing internet connection when waking from sleep - it's a very well discussed issue on these discussion forums. This means I am using a VERY expensive 27" iMac with Snow Leopard and no iCloud.
But you know the worst part?
My gaming machine is WINDOWS 7 64bit and it runs Apple's iCloud software install just fine ... go figure that one out! I can use iCloud on ANY Windows machine and NOT my 27" iMac ... regardless of whether people own Lion or not, if ANY Windows machine can use iCloud, I'm certain Snow Leopard users should as well. ANYWAY ...
PLEASE use this form, be polite, and request that they stop using iCloud to sell more copies of Lion (the only reason I can they are doing this) - and get them to release a Snow Leopard version:

Discussing it here makes us feel better, but won't get the engineers moving. USE THE FORM!
