I have a macbook 10.6.8 snow leopard, do I have to purchase OS X Lion in order to use iCloud on my devices?

I have a macbook 10.6.8 snow leopard, do i have to purchase os x lion for icloud to work on my devices?

“Apple may be working on a Mac OS X10.6.9 update to extend iCloud to Snow Leopard, an error message reveals,” MacNN reports.
“After upgrading a MobileMe account to iCloud, one developer says he encountered a unique error message in Tiger’s .Mac preferences pane,” MacNN reports. “‘You will no longer be able to sync with this machine because you’ve upgraded to iCloud,’ it begins. ‘iCloud requires running Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.9 or later for Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks.’”

  • I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the  size and RAM installed.
    "Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

  • HT1338 My macbook came with snow leopard, if  I upgrade to Lion will I be able to use my restore disks in the future and if I do use my disks that brings me back to snow leopard, Will itunes remember I purchased Lion or will I have to purchase a second ti

    My macbook came with snow leopard, if  I upgrade to Lion will I be able to use my restore disks in the future and if I do use my disks that brings me back to snow leopard, Will itunes remember I purchased Lion or will I have to purchase a second time ?

    At this point, you can no longer download Lion (10.7) from the App Store, only Mountain Lion (10.8) - make sure all your applications are fully compatible if you decide to upgrade.
    Yes, you can restore 10.6 using your restore disc should you wish to - and the App Store (not ITunes) will have a record of all your purchases, since it's linked to your AppleId.

    Well this is the report, wish you can help me and tell me what I need to do, its quite difficult to find a support in Argentina for Mac!

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution.

  • I was installing soundflower macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard Grey loading screen

    Hello i was installing soundflower for my macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard. However when finishing the installation for soundflower and click restart computer my mac now has a grey screen with a loading bar that doesn't finish. I already try safe mode and it doesn't work. Is there a way to disable sound flower installation?

    No. You use "C" to boot from the optical drive
    Hold down the Option key to select a different disk drive to boot from
    When it comes up with all the disk that have an operating system on them, select the one with the bootable clone on it

  • Mavericks upgrade : Macbook (early 2009) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook (early 2009) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and want to upgrade to Mavericks.
    I have upgraded to 4GB RAM and replaced the HD for an SSD. It works perfectly.
    Now the issue comes with Mavericks upgrade.
    The App Store offers me to upgrade to Mavericks but when I click on the Upgrade button, a message prompts it can not install Mavericks on this machine.
    I am confused. Any idea on what I should check ?

    Toffe13,
    Are you very sure of the exact mode (year etc), just saying as the requirements are:
    "MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)"
    If so...
    Then have you tried reinstalling the 10.6.8 updates (combo 1.1) - http://support.apple.com/downloads/#10.6.8
    Also...
    I assume you've ran a full sweep of Disk Utility to clear any permissions issues etc. (rarely helps, but still)
    Maybe provide a little more info on what you've tried thus far, I.E. is this a fresh install from your DVD's etc. or a migration from HDD to SSD etc.
    Thanks

    I currently have OS X Snow Leopard and want to Update to OS X Lion, but it says that it is no longer available for purchase. Do I have to go straight to Mountain Lion?

    If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.

  • New 2009 Macbook - Can it run Snow Leopard 64 bit?

    Just bought the new unibody white Macbook. I intend to run VMWare Fusion 3 and found some online suggestions to run it in Snow Leopard 64 bit. Will this new macbook support to boot Snow Leopard 64 bit as default?
    Thanks.

    Pancenter,
    I tried my macbook, I cannot boot to 64-bit. I tried boot with "4" and
    6" pressed and even modified the com.apple.Boot.plist file as said in http://macperformanceguide.com/SnowLeopard-64bit.html
    neither works. So the result on Late 2009 MacBook is same same as Compactc9 in his early 2009 model.
    May be Apple may have lock the OS to 32-bit on Macbook ?
    Reinstalling will not help.
    It looks like Apple limits the Macbooks to 32-bit even though some are apparently capable of loading the 64-bit kernel. Probably another way to differentiate between the Macbook & Macbook Pro which as I understand it, will boot into the 64-bit kernel.
    I think the best you can hope for is an EFI firmware update.

  • I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

    I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?
    My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
    I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

  • Will an 11-inch MacBook Air work with Snow Leopard?

    Will an 11-inch MacBook Air work with Snow Leopard? If yes, can you downgrade from Yosemite to Snow Leopard?

    1. For actually booting Snow Leopard, it depends on the model; click here and see what the mimimum OS for yours is.
    2. All of them can run Mac OS X 10.6 Server inside a product such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop.

  • If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    Apple has not detailed Mountain Lion's requirements or how it will be made available, and probably won't until much closer to release. So we cannot answer your question at this time. Keep an eye on Apple's web pages for Mountain Lion as well as the many Apple-related news web sites and I'm sure you'll see the announcement when it comes.
    Regards.

  • HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

    My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
    Please help!

    There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

  • HT1444 If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

    I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone.  That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
    Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
    You can check compatibility of your apps here:

  • Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
    But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
    Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.
