HT204053 If i have safari os x 10.6.8 on my imac 27" and want to back up to icloud should i upgrade

If i have safari os x 10.6.8 on my imac 27" and want to back up to icloud should i upgrade to os x lion? is there a reason not to do this on my mac?

Can you:
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. 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.
Should you upgrade is your decision. If you don't need the advanced features of Mavericks, then there is no reason to upgrade. If you don't use applications that require Mavericks to upgrade, then you don't need to upgrade.
Note that beyond Snow Leopard you won't be able to run PPC-only applications such as Office 2004.

I have photos in Photo Elements 11 that I want to back up to iCloud, Can this be done

I have photos in Photo Elements 11,not on my iPad, that I want to back up to iCloud, Can this be done?

No. iCloud doesn't backup photos except those that are stored on iOS devices as part of a full iOS device backup.

It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there. I cant see photos, etc.. It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info. but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.

A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

HT201250 I have mac 10.6.8 and wanted to back up to DVDs. How can I do it?

I have mac 10.6.8 and want to back up everything on DVDs. Is it possible, if it is how can I do it?

Backing up to DVDs is a time-wasting exercise and doesn't provide you with a bootable alternative. I suggest that you invest in an ext FWHD and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to put a bootable backup/clone onto it. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4449562?start=0&tstart=0 for more on this.
BTW, don't let the recall notice scare you into getting it replaced immediately. If there's nothing wrong with the HD, prepare for getting it replaced, but only after you've followed all the steps outlined above. FWIW, if you're within 50 miles of an Apple repair station, they most likely will do an onsite repair since it's a desktop machine.

My iphone hangs any time.I see a call coming but i cannot attend. My call drops anytime and i cant even end the call.The settings page doesnt respond many times.I have given the phone to Apple care , they update the software and return it back to me

Its under warranty and i am disappointed with the Apple product and service

If you used your backup to restore the data after it got returned, set it up as new device and don't use the backup data afterwards. It seems that some data inside the backup are corrupt. Follow this article and set up the account info and other setting manually after that:

Call AppleCare or if you are near an Apple Store, and purchased your iPhone within the past 30 days, go there and purchase AppleCare+

Have Elements 10 installed and want to install Elements 12. Should this be a clean install or, install over Elements 10?

I presently have Elements 10 installed on PC running Windows 7 and want to install Elements 12.
Should I first remove version 10 then install version 12? Or, does it matter?
Thanks,

It doesn't matter whether you unistall it or not because PSE12 will install in its own folder and you will have access to both versions on the machine. In fact, it is a good idea to keep both versions for a short perioid until you get used to the new software. PSE12 has changed a lot from PSE10 in terms of look and feel.
Good luck.

Bought a new laptop. Have an iPad 4 that I have not updated to iOS 7 yet. I plugged it in, wanting to back it up before I update it, when I right click on the device the ONLY option it gives me is "eject". why?

There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.

As deggie said, you are the victim of Activation Lock. Activation Lock is described here:

Either you need to contact the previous owner to release the phone from Find My iPhone, or if you cannot contact the previous owner, it is likely you received a stolen iPhone and it will be useless to you.

Start with a "hard reset" (see below) then use AirPort Utility to configure it.
When asked what you want to do with it, indicate that you want it to add to an existing network, similar to the following screenshot.
Follow the prompts that will eventually lead you to the words "wirelessly extend..." as shown.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

No, Detect Displays had no effect. However, I made the USB connection from the ACD to the iMac after the system was on. Following a re-start, all controls are available. Thank you for your response.

Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason. I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.
