HT1338 So in order to "move to icloud" I must purchase the upgrade to lion 10.7....? I don't want to do this every freakin 2 years.
Not Awesome.
Apple is likely moving to once a tear, then once every 6 monyhs for Major OS upgradws.
You can still setup Mail for iCloud in 10.4/10.5
Get an iCloud account first.
MobileMe & dot Mac will still work last I heard.
iCloud Mail setup, even in 10.4/10.5…
Don't delete your old account yet. Just setup a new one in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, little plus icon. Choose IMAP as account type, not ,mac or MobileMe.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
▪ Server name: imap.mail.me.com
▪ SSL Required: Yes
▪ Port: 993
▪ Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
▪ Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
▪ Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
▪ SSL Required: Yes
▪ Port: 587
▪ SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
▪ Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
▪ Password: Your iCloud password

I am trying to instal incloud on my macbook. Its the white computer from 2008 year. In order to do that I need to install the Mac OS Lion and ILife. I was able to buy the apps and install them on my other computer but How do I install on this computer?
Does your Mac meet the requirements?
Lion 10.7 System Requirements
• Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (most models released since late 2006 - early Intel-based Macs with Core Solo or Core Duo processors aren't compatible)
• 2GB of memory (recommend at least 4GB -- and ideally even more, as you'll see benefits in many computing tasks)
• OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended) for Lion download from Apple App Store; or Leopard 10.5.x if using Lion on USB drive
• 7GB of available space (10GB recommended)

Make sure your computer is running smoothly on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8
Create a Backup Before Upgrading...
Then check your Mac is compatible with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.x
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
Power PC Applications are Not Supported...

You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install. Anyone else have that problem? How do i solve? Can't move to I cloud until it is done.
Hold c and reboot off the 10.6 disk, run the installer.
If the machine your upgrading is the 2006, I'd highly advise you stay on 10.6.8
It's a 5 year old machine, you're in the last life stages of that machine and 10.7 will push it right over the edge.
10.6 is a GOOD upgrade for that machine, faster than 10.7 or 10.5.
And 10.6 will run your 10.5 software, 10.7 will not.
Get iCloud with a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, seriously.
Your machine is too old to bother with Lion.
Or else you can learn yourself and use this link to get back to Snow, good luck finding your 10.5 programs.

Switching from MobileMe to iCloud, but I can't upgrade to Lion
My iMac is too old to upgrade to Lion, so when I switch from MobileMe to iCloud, I understand that I will no longer be able to use my desktop mail app to retrieve mail, and my calendars and contacts will no longer be in sync with my iPad and iPhone. So when I switch over to iCoud, is there any work-around for this so that I can continue to use the desktop mail app on my iMac or otherwise get mail on my desktop, and keep my mail, calendars and contacts synced between my iMac, iPad and iPhone?
Unfortunately you simply need Lion or Mountain Lion to access these features on your desktop "mac applications".
However! Mail, contacts, calender & reminders, notes, find my iPhone and iWork documents synced with iCloud from an iOS device can currently (and presumably in the future too) be accesed at icloud.com from any browser with scripting enabled.
I do not have an @me or mobile me account myself. So you'll have to login and see if its already set up for you automatically, I assume there is no reason why it wouldn't be, as the mail server is already with Apple.
Other iOS devices that are associated with your Apple ID by activating "Automatic Downloads" which in laymens terms is Apples' iTunes in the Cloud service can have up to 10 devices (max of 5 computers) that will automatically synce iTunes Purchases including Music, Apps and iBooks to all those devices straight from an internet connection without the need for an iTunes sync. But iTunes in the Cloud will not automatically push TV Shows, Movies or Music Videos.
iCloud will also sync everything mentioned before about icloud.com, including Bookmarks and Photo Stream if selected, to any iOS devices setup with iCloud.
I hope that makes sense, for more information on how to setup a device with iCloud read this
Any more questions dont hesitate to ask :]

How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?
Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)? To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Audiobooks there. To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
NOTE: if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list. Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list. You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

How to download the sd version of a movie onto my ipad, after purchasing the hd.
I Buy hd versions of all my movie as they look better on the big screen tv. With that said, I only want to download the sd versions onto my iPads when were going to be on long car trips, otherwise I just stream it via wifi to save space. . i have went into the store, clicked on sd and hit watch, I then hit the cloud, but it always downloads the hd. Ugh. What am I doing wrong? It there a way to do this on my mac via iTunes and sync it?
I just liked them all right now.
Thanks. So yours only shows one cover movie poster too then. That is what mine shows.
When you say this:
based on whether I've got HD selected or not, e.g. my iPhone shows the SD size, but my iTunes based on whether I've got HD selected or not, e.g. my iPhone shows the SD size, but my iTunes (computer) shows HD.
Do you mean when you have your phone selected on the summary page as you instructed above vs.... what selected for your itunes/computer showing HD? -

Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier. -
DVD Movies will not play in SuperDrive after upgrading to Lion?
I just discovered that I cannot play any DVD movies using the Super Drive. It spins up and down a couple of time and then ejects the DVD. I tried several DVD's I have.
Well, that about does it. I inserted a music CD into my MBP, finished listening to it and now the CD is stuck in my machine. I can hear and feel it try to eject but something is stopping it so it ***** it back in. I cant figure out how to get it out. I have had nothing but trouble wit this machine. I am beginning to think I made a very expensive mistake buying this thing. I'm from Louisiana, perhaps this Mac has a better capacity to soak up oil in the Gulf than to actually WORK as a computer.
All this has happened in about 6 hours. Buyers remorse has fully set in. -
Upgraded iCloud storage not showing the upgrade?
Using iPhone 5s & new iPad Air.... Upgraded iCloud storage & it hasn't updated on either devices! Is there Anyway to see if you received my request & payment so I don't duplicate it?
Contact the Apple online store for your country (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada). They should be able to verify that your upgrade purchase went through.
