HT4759 Is iCloud not available Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Is iCloud not available Mac OS X version 10.6.8? If it is, then where can I find it out? It is not available in my system preferences.
iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store. If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store. If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

how do I get icloud onto my mac os x version 10.6.3?
You need 10.7.5 or later for iCloud.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. 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 Mountain Lion — System Requirements
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
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.
B. 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. -
Roboform toolbar is not available in the latest version of Firefox. Or, if it is, I don't know how to enable it. Te toolbar4 used to be selectable from the view dropdown menu.
Roboform have made a marketing decision to only make version 7 of their toolbar compatible with Firefox 4, and you need to pay to get the upgrade.
A free alternative is the LastPass Password Manager - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager -

Allignment tool not available with the Student Version?
Is the Allignment tool not available with the Student Version? It appears to be clickable yet no action… Is there a preference I'm missing?
Shawn,
Educational is a full version.
You need to select (at least) two objects, then apply the deired Align operation(s).
If something is really wrong, you may have a look at the list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

"Could not open scratch file because disc is not available" Mac
I recently changed the Photoshop (CS6) Scratch Disk choice from the default Boot Drive to one of the other internal drives in my MacPro (OS 10.6.8).
When I restart Photoshop (CS6) I get the message:
"Could not open scratch file because disc is not available"
and Photoshop will not launch.
I then restart Photoshop with "Command - alt - shift" keys held down
(as per suggestion at <http://forums.adobe.com/message/3937003>)
and reset the preferences which allows Photoshop to come back.
(Resetting preferences returned the Boot Drive to scratch disk status.)
I have another MacPro that - same OS 10.6.8 and Adobe CS6 - and I don't have this scratch disk allocation problem.
What is going on with the one MacPro that prevents me from selecting a Photoshop scratch disk other than the boot drive?Ignore Ownership worked. Thank you!
I saw this suggestion on another Discussion thread but wondered if that could be the problem since the non-boot scratch disks used on other computers here do not have this property chosen.
"Permissions", "Ignore Ownership", and "apply to enclosed items" remain a mystery to me.
As for Terminal, I've had my hand held a couple of times while I went there and it was not a comforting experience.
Our work setup depends on complete access by everybody to everything (Read&Write Privileges apply to everyone here). We occasionally swap drives between computers which may cause problems, but why should it and how am I to know. The computer that prompted this discussion had its main hard drive replaced a couple of months ago which may have contributed to the problem.
Is there a down-side to ignoring ownership on everything and having "read-write" privileges apply to everyone (aside from lax security)? -
Account type "iCloud" not available on my iCal
I'm trying to sync up my iCal with my iPhone, etc. However, while I can put an event in iCal, it will not show up on my iPhone/iPad, etc. When I go to iCal>Preferences>Accounts>+>Account Type and hit the dropdown menu, the only options I see are "Automatic / CalDAV / Exchange 2007 / MobleMe / Google / Yahoo!" There is no option for "iCloud".
When I try to create a calendar under "MobleMe" using my apple ID, I get the following error message:
The server responded with an error.
Access to account “[email protected]” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
I know I'm using the correct apple ID and password. I'm running iCal 4.0.4. Any idea what's up?No, I am using a G5 not I g3. I forgot to change it
What computers do you show under System
Preferences...>.Mac>Advanced...The following
computers are being synchronized using this .Mac
account?
***** This may be the problem!!
It only shows this one computer on the above question. On my wife it only shows hers. Is it supposed to show both? If so how do I add them?
Merle,
I do not know why it worked with the Address Book and
not the Calendar. That confuses me too
If so, you may want to ensure that you have Reset
.mac sync from all computers. Make sure that you have
backed up your database (iCal>File>Backup
Database...) As stated in the Reset article, "If you
sync between computers with different versions of Mac
OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer
with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible." I am using the same systems: 10.4.6
What computers do you show under System
Preferences...>.Mac>Advanced...The following
computers are being synchronized using this .Mac
account? Are they all registered with a recent
synchronized date?
the date on my computer shows a sync today as does my wifes.

When ARD does not know Mac OS X version of machine, how to search?
I have about 40 servers I am trying to administer with ARD. A bit more than a half dozen are 10.4, a few more than a half dozen and 10.5 and about a dozen are 10.6. And a bunch are listed in ARD as "-" in the "Mac OS Version" column.
I can create a smart list to track the Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard machines. How do I create a smart list to track the others?
It would be easier if I could have the Tiger list be all machines with version matching "10.4.*", but I cannot seem to put a wildcard character there. But if I could, I could use (not Tiger and not Leopard and not SnowLeopard). Is there a reason why both (version < 10.4) and (version > 10.6) return nothing. Either the null should sort high or sort low, but it seems to be neither. Any suggestions?I think the problem is slightly more than that. I noticed something. Some of our servers have 2 ethernet cards and, in some cases, we access the machine via different names. So, for example, host1 and host2 point to different IP addresses but are the same machine. What I am noticing is that host1 (arbitrarily chosen) correctly identifies the version, but host2 does not.
Yet, you can see the output below. Looks the same to me.

Master data tables not available after installing trail version sap abap
Hi Experts,
After installing trail version of sap for practicing SAP ABAP..i am not able to access master data tables like MARA EKKO etc.
Please let me know how i can access these tables data .
Is there any alternate to access these tables?
Thanks and Regards,
SivaHi Siva,
Master data table and any other application table are not present in trail systems. Notice that solely purpose of those trials is to learn/practice basis stuff and ABAP programming.
If you need to practice ECC's modules like FI, SD, ... you need to have an access to IDES system. For this you need to be SAP partner or customer.
cheers
