HT4847 I don't have Lion of working IOS 5 and want to downgrade my storage how do I do it

I don't have Lion of working IOS 5 and want to downgrade my storage how do I do it?

You can only do this on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac or an iOS5.6 device. If you don't have these how did you manage to add storage in the first place? If you are a MobileMe migratee you would have been given an additional 20GB as a concession but this expires on 30 September and will simply be removed if you don't pay to upgrade it, so you need do nothing if this is the additional storage you are concerned about.
If you did somehow manage to purchase extra storage and now wish to downgrade it you will need to contact Support.
You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade within 15 days of buying:
Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.  julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'. If you are unable to access the required setting you will again have to contact Support.

    Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and I am wondering how I remove emails from the "All Mail" .  I have over 8,000 emails and want to free up storage but it will take forever to delete them 1 at a time!  Help!

    Is there a way to remove emails from the Exchange Account "All Mail"?  I have over 8 thousand emails and want to clear them out.  It looks as though I have to delete them one by one!

    Since it's an Exchange account, it sounds like the way to do this would be to remove them using a computer.

  • TS4002 I don't have Lion OS but have switched to icloud to keep my MAIL account working. However, now I find I'm missing SENT files for anything before July 2012. I logged onto iCloud thinking they might be online but they're not there either? Help!

    Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-275-2273.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

  • After I upgraded to icloud, and then did a regular sync ( I don't have lion yet) everything on my ical is listed double?

    I upgraded to icloud on my ipad.  We don't have Lion yet on the Imac, so I did a regular plug in sync.  Now all the items on the calendar on my ipad are listed twice.  I tried to sync again and no change. I can't figure out why this happened.  On my imac the calendar items are listed once.

    You can go to Settings > iCloud and turn off syncing to Calendar, Contacts (and to any other application that you don't need to backup or share).  Once you upgrade to Lion, it's easy to turn the iCloud syncing back on (but then stop syncing it over iTunes >Info.

  • I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard?

    I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard? I'm good on partitioning but when I insert the Snow Leopard install disk a message tells me I can't run the install program because I currently have Lion installed... obviously. Have I gone about this the wrong way? Do I need to boot the computer using the Snow Leopard install disk instead of my main HD?

    Apple will never update that as for the most part it is true, and the fact that they really don't want you to run older OS X versions (for whatever reason).
    Now this probably won't work with the next line of MBPs and MBAs that come out. But it is for the current builds.
    But as I stated you need one of the lastest builds of SL for it to even boot the system.
    It won't work with the retail 10.6.3 DVD disc. That version does not have the correct drivers for the newest Mac's.

  • I have lion on my iMac and iPhoto file is missing

    I have lion on my iMac and my question is on where my photos are stored.  Under pictures I do not have a folder titled iPhoto as I should.
    Under Pictures I do have iPhoto Libary Recovered Photos, as well as, Photo Booth, I chat icons, Adobe,Alaska (photo file i made i photo) iPhoto slideshow, iPhoto Booth, windows PC which contains lots photos, and several jpgs .  This is a mes
    This Is my first mac and the mac store transfered my photos ( a very large amount on photos)  they had a lot of problems in the transfer, In attempt to clean this up they mistakes may have been made
    I would appreciate Help in  cleaning up this iPhoto file

    OK, so just that I understand the situation. You bought a Mac with 10.6, and it was updated to 10.7. Can you explain at what stage the Mac store transferred your photos, and from where? When you upgrade from (for example) 10.6 to 10.7, it shouldn't require ANY moving of photos.
    Do you still have the iPhoto application, at least? (Check in the Applications folder).
    Try searching on your drive (using Spotlight, at the top right of the screen) for "iPhoto Library". You could also check your Time Machine - go into the TM interface (Enter Time Machine from the menu icon, don't just open your external drive) and look in the Pictures folder at several points in the past. See if you can identify when it was present, and when it disappeared from that location.

  • I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

    I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

    It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer.  Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results?  If so how do I do this?  Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is?  Very new/green user here

  • I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cannot get Word, or Office or anything. Do I have to buy the new Microsoft for Mac

    I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cant get Word, or Office or any of my Microsoft for Mac stuff to work. Do I have to buy a new version of all this now that the operating software is Lion instead of leopard?

    Support for Office 2004 went away when Lion adandoned support for the Rosetta emulator that let Snow Leopard and earlier run old PPC programs like Office 2004 on an Intel Mac.
    The first version of Office that runs natively on an Intel Mac is Office 2008. The current version is Office 2011 and should offer no problems.
    Your choice of Office version depends on whether you count on Entourage as your mail client. Office 2008 was the last version to include Entourage. With Office 2011, Entourage was replaced by a Mac version of Outlook BUT you must buy the more expensive "business" version to get Outlook. It does not come with the more affordable "Home/Student" edition.

  • I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Have Lion (10.7.3) and can't get my Time Machine to hook up???

    Have Lion (10.7.3) and can't get my Time Machine to hook up???

    Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
    Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it?
    Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any relevant information, but it didn't help, include details.
