Probably a simple question : I'd like to use Icloud on my Mac (10.6.8). Apparently I need an OS version of 10.7 or higher. I tried Lion 10.8 but cannot install this on my Mac. What should/can I do ?

How do I use icloud with one mac and two iphones
I have just got an iPhone 5.
My wife and I share a macbook pro
My wife has an iphone 4s and uses iCloud to sync photos etc.
I want to use iCloud too, so.....how do we use iCloud so:
- when we each take photos on our phones they sync to our mac
- our contacts sync (can we set preferences on our individual phones so we only get the contacts we want on our iPhones from a shared address book on the mac)
- we have individual calendars
Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you.If you want to share the same photo stream so both your photos sync to your mac via iCloud you'll have to share the same primary iCloud account. Set this up in Settings>iCloud on both phones using the same Apple ID, and in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac; then turn photo Stream to On. If you want to also using iCloud to sync with your shared Address Book on your Mac, but keep your contacts separate, you'll have to create two contact groups in Address Book on your Mac - one for each of you - and drag copies of the appropriate contacts into each group. Then turn iCloud syncing for Contacts to on on all your devices. To view just your own contacts you'll have to open the Contacts app on each of your phones, tap Groups, then check only your own contact group to view. When you add contacts on either phone, you'll have to add these contacts to the appropriate groups in Address Book on your Mac as you can't manage contact groups on your phone.
If you want to maintain your own calendars, the easiest thing to do is not to syncing your calendar with iCloud. If you did, your calendars would be merged in iCal on your Mac and the merged calendar would appear on both phones.
The important thing to know is that when you share an iCloud account any data you sync with the account will be merged and appear on all devices sharing the account. This will happen with your contacts too, but since you already have a shared Address Book on your Mac, it will stay up to date as you change/add/delete contacts on your phones. And by using contact groups you can filter your view to just your own contacts. -
Is it possible?
I have tried to log-in to my apple account using my Id and password but I keep getting an error saying that the PC cannot access the servers. This is all being done using dialogue boxed covered with mobile me logos, but that shouldn't make a difference with the ID surely. I don't actually need it for anything other than registering the machine to myself, but it would be nice to know why it's not working.
ThanksYou can, as kaz-k has done, log into http://icloud.com though on an old Mac you may find it very slow and a bit flaky. However you cannot sign into iCloud because you don't have the pane for it in System Preferences - Lion 10.7.5 is required for that. The MobileMe does nothing at all now because the service has been discontinued for over a year. If yours is a PPC Mac you cannot upgrade the system beyond 10.5.8 and cannot proceed with iCloud.
However if you are trying to register a purchase you don't need iCloud for that - new devices will register themselves when first turned on. -
Ok, so how do I get icloud on this snow leapord imac? Is it worth updating to lion, and if so how do I do it?
If you need iCloud, you need Lion. You buy it from the App Store for $29.99.
If you are running Snow Leopard, your system already meets the minimum specfications for Lion. However, the 2 GB minimum memory requirement is generally considered inadequate. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum; 8 GB for Lion to be comfortable.

My mac mini is not updating its software to OSX Lion v10.7.5, which I need for iCloud. I would like to use iCloud on my desktop along with my iphone and ipad but the auto updates are only upto 10.6.8.
You need to get the newer version from the Mac App Store.

I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. -
I'm using 10.6.8 but would like to use iCloud so need to upgrade to 10.7.4 but need to install 10.7 before I can upgrade to 10.7.4. Where can I find 10.7.0?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest OS X version is OS X 10.8.3, so first check that you can use OS X Mountain Lion. First, check that your Mac supports Mountain Lion > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If it's compatible, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
When the download finishes, the OS X installer will appear, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will have 10.8.3.
If your Mac isn't compatible with Mountain Lion, check that you can run Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you can run OS X Lion, call Apple to purchase it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 After upgrading to Lion, you will have 10.7.5.
To set up iCloud after upgrading, open System Preferences > iCloud. Read > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup -
I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.
No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store -

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.
Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email. One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast. That is a problem for many users.
If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward. Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud. Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you. Apple doesn't participate in these forums. -
I just upgraded to iOS7 and started using icloud with Outlook 2010. I dealt with switching over to only using icloud for my calendar, but now my calendar reminders are only randomly popping up which is very frustrating. They show up on my phone however. And under my calendar on my main page it doesn't show any appointments coming up. Any suggestions on a fix?
Hey Csound1,
Looks like we found a solution, it's Mickey Mouse but it works. After talking to two Apple Senior Advisors, this is the fix they came up with:
The first advisor after exploring it for awhile, came to the conclusion the way to get my calendars back local On my Mac with the alerts as I had then was to import the saved .ics files with my my 'dangerous email alerts' being removed then me manually re-adding them. I said that was a no go.
The second advisor, after speaking with me for awhile and trying a few things that we'd tried before said he'd do some work on his end and call me back. A couple of hours later he phoned back with a fix that I guess will have to do, his solution:
I had to go into Calendar-preferencs-accounts and create a Gmail calendar, quit and restart Calendar, I created a calendar in the gMail account. Then I was given the option in Calendar under File-New Calendar to create On my Mac local calendars. Next was to create local calendars with the same names as my iCloud calendars. Now I had to un-check all calendars but one, put Calendar in month view, command-click all the events for the given calendar and drag them to the new local calendar of the same name. I then had to repeat this for each of the calendars and for all 12 months of the year.
I'm not done yet but it seems to be working. As I said Mickey Mouse but doing the job. It seems creating another online calendar account was the only way to get the local On my Mac option, active again. What a pain in the a** this has been, I will repeat it again

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.
Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

I have an iMac7,1 computer with OS 10.6.8 and wish to use iCloud with it. Is this computer compatible with Apple OS 10.7.2, so I can download the new OS 10.7.2 and use iCloud on my iMac7,1?
Mac OS X 10.7 requires an Intel i3, i5, i7, Core 2 Duo and 2 GB ram...to download you need to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and pay $20 for a download code for the Mac App Store.
