I have an older mac and so have not got icloud

My question is if I move to iCloud as prompted by mobileme every other day, what do I lose apart from idisk, gallery and iweb? I know I should probably upgrade to Lion, but still on Leopard and just don't have the time to backup, get new os'es and do installations. I have iPad and iPhone and would like to make the move, but not sure if I need to upgrade my macbook first (or will I just not have file syncing)?
Also will itunes match still work on the macbook withour iCloud on the macbook?
Thanks for any input

You have posted in the iTunes Match forum. You will get better help by posting in the appropriate Notebooks forums.
But, in short, you can't use iCloud with Leopard. The minimum requirement for using iCloud is OS X 10.7.2 Lion. The minimum requirements are on this page. You can also read about the iCloud features on the product page.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

HT201272 I want to download a previously purchased album that had an "error" and isn't complete. I have an older Mac and don't have iCloud. Surely there is some way to get the music I paid for!

Without a disc, I'd create a new administrator id and delete the old id. Erase any folders you might have created outside your home folder. Use disk utility to erase free space. One pass should be good enough for a home computer.

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?

Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
Try this.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me i need mac os 10.5 to do so. Today is the first day I have ever used a mac and I am not well versed on computers to begin with. What do I need to do?

Today is the fist time that I have ever used a mac and I am not very well versed on computers to begin with. From what I gather I need to purchase the mac os 10.5 but there are a lot of different options and I dont know what I need to do. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I dont want to spend too much money because i just want my ipod touch to be compatible with my ibook. thank you

Hi
Your question is more suitable for the 10.4's General Forum rather than 10.4 OSX Server. Post here instead:

How do I figure out if I have usb 3.0? I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

Dont buy a Western Digital, get a Hitachi or Seagate (Toshiba is made by Hitachi). These are the most reliable, and the HD used inside Macs.
ALL HD can be made compatible with your MAC (including a WD if you already bought same), ......they just need to be formatted for the Mac platform, format them in Disk Utility as Mac OSX extended journaled.

On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

Macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.?

I have burnt audio cds using external burner(itunes 8).They are on the cd as it plays in the mac but will not play on our cd player.Iread something online about macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioInterchange_FileFormat
any help please

Several possible issues.
1) Did you burn the CD as an audio format CD or did you just burn AIFF files to a CD as a data CD? CD players require an audio format CD, not just AIFF files burned to a CD as AIFF files.
2) Older CD players can have problems reading burned CDs. Sometimes using a different brand CD, a longer burn time (slower burn speed) can help, but sometimes you just have to buy a newer player. CD-RW can present big problems unless it is specified as supported.

How did you delete the Note? If you did a "select all" and "cut", open the Note and shake your iPhone to undo the cut action.

What is the exact error message you are receiving? Have you checked to make sure the connections on each end of the USB cable are nice and snug?

For the past few weeks when I place a bid on ebay, Firefox crashes. The bid goes through but I have to restart Firefox each time. I have sent a report each time and asked to be notified and as of yet I have not got a solution to this problem.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
