I cloud downloaded all except photo stream to my mac book OS x 10.6.8 how do i get the photo stream?

I have a 2008 macbook 10.6.8 software, I recently downloaded icloud but the photo stream isn't showing up although i have all the other elements of Icloud i.e. calender, mail, notes etc....everything except photos strream. What is the problem?  I've been told that I can't download mountain lion as the computer is too old to handle the upgrade.

You can't use Photo Stream if you aren't using OS X 10.7.2 or later, and iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3.
OS X Mountain Lion requires a Late 2008 Aluminum or an Early 2009 MacBook. If your Mac isn't compatible with Mountain Lion, you can upgrade to OS X Lion instead.
First, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Then, make a backup of your data and upgrade to OS X Lion. Also, check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
After upgrading, open System Preferences > iCloud, and turn on Photo Stream. Then, do the same on iPhoto. If you aren't running iPhoto '11, delete your actual iPhoto version from Applications folder and then, purchase iPhoto '11 from the App Store

    Did you not have a Time Machine backup of your Macbook Pro or a clone backup on an external HD?
    To copy music from the iPhone to your Mac -- except purchases from the Apple Store -- you need third-party software.

  • HT1539 Some downloaded movies are in HD and won't play on my iPod Classic.  How can I get the SD version without having to buy another version?

    How can I get the SD version of HD movies that I already own and are downloaded on my computer.  These HD movies won't play on my iPod Classic.

    Just figured out how to get the SD version of HD movies to play on the iPod Classic.  In the iTunes Store, look at the purchased list and down at the bottom where it lists the Total: # Movies, to the right is a checkbox [ ] Download HD When Available.  If you uncheck the box, it allows you to get the SD version of those HD movies from the cloud.

    Bought new camera to work with Raw images in CS5 but file would not open so I downloaded latest update. It only allowed me to save in a file ( could have OPENED instead of saving so I don't know those results). How do I get the new download to work in CS5?

  • I downloaded by accident a later version of firefox than my Mac will run - 4.0.1. How can I get the older version back?

    I have a Mac OS 10.4.11. I had a glitch while I was trying to register to a new WordPress and that site sent me to Firefox and told me to download. Before checking compatibility with my operating system, I download and put it in my applications folder. When I tried to open Firefox, I got a message saying 4.0.1 wasn't compatible with my computer.
    I NEED THE OLDER VERSION OF FIREFOX compatible with my Mac. PLEASE SEND IT TO ME. Thanks.

    You can download Firefox 3.6 here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Before reinstalling it, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

  • I am trying to re-download some songs I deleted by mistake.  I go to purchases and it only shows me options for Apps and Books, no list for Music.  How can I get the music list to show up or alternatively how can I re-download the songs?

    I messed up and deleted a few songs by mistake.  When I go to the "purchases" option it only lists apps and books that have been downloaded, but music is not an option to see what was downloaded previously.  Anyone know how I can re-download the songs ?
    Thanks for any help!  I am using the most recent version of iTunes.

    I have been having the same problem.. and yes, I am in the US.  I have tried reinsatllin gitunes several time and that doesn't work either

  • I have all my music on my I-pod but I have a new laptop, how do I get the music from my ipod onto itunes?, I have all my music on my I-pod but I have a new laptop, how do I get the music from my ipod onto itunes?

    I have all my music on my ipod but I can't get that music onto my new laptop , how do I do that?

    At a guess you followed the process in HT1364 - iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder which would have moved the media folder to a new path of your choice. This process leaves the library database files back in the original location of <User's Music>\iTunes. Often people assume that all they need is now on the external drive and wipe the internal drive, or discard their old computer, before backing up the all important iTunes folder. If you have a backup of your user's profile folder from before the upgrade the iTunes library folder should be in there somewhere. Restore it to <User's Music> and your original library should pop back into existence. The external drive would need to have the same drive letter that it had previously.
    A more effective way to relocate the library is to move the entire iTunes folder to the external drive, then hold down shift when starting iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. You would then choose the file iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder on the external drive. If this is the way you moved the library before then that is how you should now reconnect to it. Changing the media folder in preferences doesn't change which .itl database file is opened, nor does double-clicking on an .itl file directly.
    If you no longer have the original .itl file then you will have to build a new library and import the media to it. If you need to do this I would recommend you create a new library at F:\iTunes, then move your existing media folders inside F:\iTunes\iTunes Media before importing. This will avoid the creation of duplicates and make sure the library is in the correct shape going forwards.
    If you have an iPod or iOS device my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover ratings, play counts & playlists from the device.
    When you've fixed up your libray you should consider getting a second external drive to backup to.

  • Downloaded and installed os x yosemite and now mac book pro will not restart? How long should this take? Is there something wrong? Please helpthanks in advance

    MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?

    The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
    The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check  menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed.

  • I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.

    I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.  Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!

    It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
    To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

  • TS4036 I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

    I have restored a backup into a new iPad but it did not downloaded all my photos. There is a message saying " downloading 515 of 1230" but it never finishes downloading. How can I get all my photod downloadeda.

    Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked. 
    Open iTunes
    Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
    In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
    Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE.  Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc.  Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
    Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
    Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS.  In that area click - Purchased
    After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes.  Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices. 
    Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased.  You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone. 
    Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name.  Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on. 
    Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
    Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in.  Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.  
    The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
    Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

  • How do I download all my photos onto an external hard drive intact without loosing iPhoto's features, important info and details? I need to delete pictures and files to make room in My mac's memory which is currently full.

    So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards

  • HT1417 why have all my downloaded songs stored in i cloud shown twice on the main music menu all of a sudden? how do i get the space back, without spending hours deleting copies ?

    why are all my download items duplicated in i cloud all of a sudden? how do i get the space back so i can re-synch muy i pod classic without spending hours deleting ?

    Why? A glitch. The second copies are links to your purchases in the cloud and are not taking up any room. Sign out of the store and they should disappear. Sign back in again and they should stay gone.

  • HT201269 My PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music does exist on iPad. How do I get the music that had been downloaded from iTunes and copied from my CDs onto new PC from iPad. Would rather not use cloud.

    PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music both purchased  and copied from CDs is on iPad. How do I get the music back onto the PC without using the cloud. Afraid if sync will wipe all music from iPad.

    You would need to download iTunes on comp and download purchases again (you don't have to pay again) and upload your CDs again IF you sync your iPad to your computer it will erase everything
