I have Mac osX 10.6.8 2.16 1gb 667 mmz ddrs2 sdram.  what do I need to do to use the cloud on this machine, and can I upgrade my os

I have an iMac, osx, 10.6.8/ 2.16/ 1gb/ 667 mmz ...I want to use the icloud on this machine, what will I need to do if it is possible?

Is your machine a Core2Duo? Check these requirements carefully:
System requirements for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
backups are always a great idea.
When you are ready to buy the upgrade, you need to CALL the Apple online store and ask for 10.7. They will sell you a download code that can be redeemed in the Mac App Store. (the 10.7 software is "put away" so that users do not buy it in error).
In leaving 10.6, you shed any programs that require Rosetta emulation. These are my top six:
Photoshop/CS2
Word and Office 2004 and older
Eudora 6
FileMaker Pro 6
AppleWorks 6
Quicken 2007 (but a US$15 upgrade is available that allows you to carry on)

  • HT1218 What do I need to do to use the Airplay feature with Jango Radio from my iPhone or Mac?

    What do I need to do to use the Airplay feature with Jango Radio from my iPhone or Mac?

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

  • I have used the deautherised all this year how can i get them all deautherised again

    i have used the deautherised all this year how can i get them all deautherised again

    There are two ways to get photos and videos on your iPod:
    - The can by synced to the iPod using the Photos pane in iTunes.  Thises photos and video aenot port of the backup that iTunes makes when you sync.
    - The other way is to take photos and videos with the iPod's camera (4G only) or to save like screeen shots or aved email attachments.  This type of photos and videos are includd n the backup that iTunes makes.  Thus, restoring from backup will retore those photos and video to the iPod up until the time the backup was made. Just make sure that you have auto-syncing turned off in iTunes otherwise iTunes will make a backup and overwite the old one. Do this by checking the box titled "Prevent iPods...syncing" in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • I have used a Seagate external hard drive for my Mac desktop. It is malfunctioning. Can I disconnect and depend on iCloud to keep my documents, music, and photos backed up safe and secure? I use the Cloud for phone, pad and desktop.

    Can I expect iCloud to safely back up and secure my documents, music and pictures? I am using Cloud on phone, pad, and desktop. Have depended on external hard drive in the past. It is malfunctioning. Will the Cloud replace it for storage and safety?

    Time Machine in itself, without an external drive may well be good for instances where you accidentally delete documents that you later require. However in the event of a hard drive failure, if Time Machine backup is kept on the same drive as the original items, it will not be much use to you.
    In my opinion, it is vitally important that you have an external drive for backup, whether you use Time Machine or a another backup solution is entirely up to you.
    My situation is slightly unusual, I have four hard drives in my computer and multiple arrays of hard drive enclosures with multiple hard drives within them (in total I have 40 TB of storage). As a result of this I tend to employ more than one backup procedure, I use Time Machine to backup some items and a utility called tri-backup to backup other items. I also keep two backups of everything.
    Time Machine is free, it's included with your operating system, I wonder if you mean time capsule.

  • Firefox 4.0 will not download at all, I get the circle with a slash. I have mac osx.

    I had firefox 3.6, downloaded free upgrade, which totally replaced the old one, it's gone.
    But the new icon has a circle and slash on it and is not viable. Doesn't work, doesn't open, messages says: You cannot open the application Firefox.app because it is not supported on this system.
    I have Mac OSX 10.4.11.

    Same problem, but I'm on OSX 10.5.8 - non Intel mac.
    Wording is actually "... because it is not supported on this architecture."
    Ironic that I have to use Safari to post this. :)

  • I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me.

    I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

    You are welcome, ameronweb.
    To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
    If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

  • I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this?

    I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this? Other people I work with and use macs have the same issue.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.
