HT1338 I just installed OSX snow leapord and just want to be able to use icloud. I up--graded my old macbook to 2 gigs and still can't get it to download icloud . would go to osx mountain lion but can't do that either. What do I have to do???

I want to use icloud to sync w/my new apple tv. bought osx snow leopard and installed it plus upgraded to 2 gigs memory for my
old (2007) macbook. still won't work. I need to get to at least osx 10.7.4 or to osx mountain lion. Tried everything and can't get there.
I'm not a computer whiz...quite a novice. so, if you can help; please speak in layman language....ha Thanks

iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. 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.

I have a MacBook Air (Intel Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X 10.6.8, I would like to update to Lion, but I am not sure if I have the latest version of SNOW LEOPARD v10.6.8, do I need to update to Leopard first and then to Lion or could I just update to Lion?

I have a MacBook Air (Intel Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X 10.6.8, I would like to update to Lion but I am not sure if I need the Snow Leopard, I am not sure if I have it, or if I can just download the Lion. Please help.

Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. The dialog will display the installed version.

You can't install an older OS over a newer one. So you'll get a message saying you can't install ML until you erase the drive.
I'm presuming you already have the full Mountain Lion installer on your drive.
Download DiskMaker X. Use it, the ML installer, and an 8 GB flash drive to create your own bootable ML installer. Boot to the flash drive when it's ready. From there, you'll get the same minimal work screen as when you boot into Recovery Mode. Use Disk Utility to erase the drive, then install Mountain Lion. Restore your personal data.

I am presently running OS X v.10.5.8 and wish to upgrade to Mountain Lion but can't upgrade from this version.

I can't add a entry in a shared calendar on iCal (Mountain Lion) but on iPhone it is ok

My Partner is sharing her business calendar with me. (view and edit)
In the past I was able to add calendar enties on my MacBook, iPhone and iPad. Since a couple of days, I can do this only on the iPhone & iPad but not on the Macbook Pro. (Mountain Lion) I can see the entries, I can change time and so on, but i can't select the shared calendar in the edit window.
Anybody has a clue what is going on?
Thanks

See if you can go to your Calendars App and select a previous event to see what Calendar the event was added to (iCloud or Yahoo). After that is determined you can go to www.iCloud.com or calendar.yahoo.com and add the event there to see if it will populate on your device. Another troubleshooting step is deleting the iCloud account from your device and also deleting the Yahoo account. Then check to see if you can add an event without it syncing to a email. If you can then it may have just been a bug and you can add both accounts back and try adding the event again. I would also recommend only using one service to sync your Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. Such as either iCloud only or Yahoo only, as using multiple accounts means your data is spread around and can be hard to isolate when something goes wrong.

I have a brand new Macbook Air with latest Mountain Lion but can't install Adobe Flash Player it continually times out?

I have latest version of Mountain Lion on brand new MacBook Air but can't install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe website as it always times out with error message...?

I have also tried installing a differnt version by clicking on the "Different operating system or browser?'' and
selecting

Purchased Mountain Lion but can't access.

I purchased Mountain Lion, received two emails, copied the password into the space provided in one of the emails but when I went to access the PDF I was taken back to my original email. Never received a disc as I did with Snow Leopard so don't know what to do next.
Hope someone can help

Digidesign midi timeout in mountain lion but can't access library files

Hi,
I have tried installing an old version of Pro Tools before realising it was not compatible with Mountain Lion. I have deleted all the drivers I could find but every time I try to use Garage Band, I get a Midi timeout error. M-box 2 and M-box Pro 2 are still showing in my Other folder in the Finder but I can't seem to be able to remove them and I suspect they're clashing with Garage Band. I have tried the various options offered in this community to access Main and User libraries but no matter what I try I can't get the Library folders up and therefore remove these plug-ins. Can anyone help, please?

Manual Migration to Mountain Lion: but can't see the home library folder.

Hi,
This is my first post in the Apple support community.
I'm moving from iMac running Snow Leopard to my MacBook Pro retina running Mountain Lion.
I only want to move what I really need, and leave all the old software and old files behind.
I put the MacBook Pro in target disc mode and started moving things through a FireWire 800 cable, connected to a Thunderbolt port through an Apple adapter.
Until I came to the items in the home library folder to move - and, of course - I couldn't see the home library folder on my retina MacBook Pro.
The key question is: can I make it visible for the time of the move?
Should I put the old iMac in target disc mode and handle the move from the retina Macbook Pro side and unhide the library folder using the Command + Shift + G keystroke?
Or are the days of manual migration over due to the hidden home library folder?
Applecare support noted I should use the migration assistant, and that I could chose the files I wanted to move.
Can you really do it in such a detail as during a manual migration?
Thanks!

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/ as the path.

My wife and I have new IPad Airs. I was able to download and use the NY Time Crossword app, but can't get it to download on hers. It shows as "purchased" but does not appear as an icon on her home page, but is on her purchased page. Any ideas?

Can't get NYTimes Crossword app to download onto my wife's IPad Air. It shows as "purchased" but when trying to download with the Cloud icon, it just circles for a while, then stops. The app works fine on my IPad. Any suggestions?
Thanks

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

I want to run the new os x mountain lion but currently on 10.5.8 what do i need to do

Hi folks
I am running 10.5.8 how do i upgrade to mountain lion

Depends if your Mac is capable of running it.

(Note that the specs say 2GB of RAM but I wouldn't consider it with less than 4 GB.)
If so, then you need to purchase 10.6.8 and purchase and download ML
