I have OSX, vers. 10.5.8. I want to use the Cloud, but I don't want Mountain Lion. Can I do that?

You cannot access iCloud with 10.6.8. If your computer supports it you could upgrade to Lion - you can obtain it by ringing the online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page. The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
If you don't want Mountain Lion you probably won't want Lion either (of the two Mountain Lion is probably preferable) but it's either that, or stick with 10.6.8 and no iCloud.

I updated my iPod to ios7 but now I have none of songs that I've already paid for on the ipod, but they are still in my PC. How can I reload them on the ipod?

I have just updated my ipod to ios7 and thought my music content was backed up in the process, but find all of the songs that I have already paid for in the past are missing from the ipod. They are still on my pc, but I don't know how to transfer them to the ipod. Any help will be much appreciated.

Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

I have purchased Mountain Lion to correct the gray cursor square problem, and I cannot get Mountain lion to download

I purchased Mountain Lion from 10.7.5 on my Imac to correct the gray cursor square problem, now Mountain Lion will not fully download. Any recommendations?

Upgrading to a newer OS X does not often correct pre existing problems. MIght be a disk space issue, or the startup disk needs repairing.
Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
In the Get Info pane you will see: Capacity & Available
Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
For the gray cursor issuee, startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple menu.
If that didn't help the cursor issue, launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk
If Disk Utility reports errors, since v10.7 Lion is the currently installed OS, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access OS X: About OS X Recovery.
From there you can access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk.

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

Win 7 OS,64 Bit..Going back to ver 10.3 as I wish to use the cdbackup/restore version..I
wish to restore to my PC only..My aim is delete all music files from 11.1.5.5 (a bummer)
then uninstall it so I don't think I have to consider the itl and.xlm files..Am I thinking
okay?.Starting 10.3 from scratch...Any foreseeable problems here?..Nicolino

No. Your iTunes library folder (normally inside User's Music) will contain your main iTunes Library.itl database file and, if you've updated iTunes at some point, a collection of archived .itl files made during some of those updates is placed in a subfolder called Previous iTunes Libraries.
Ah, perhaps I have misunderstood. Do you mean that you are trying to restore a set of iTunes backup CDs/DVDs made with an earlier version of iTunes or that you want to backup the library that you have now?
I may be wrong, but I thought the current version of iTunes retains the ability to unpack a backup set made with an older version of iTunes. Having never relied on the feature I don't have much experience with it. If you're trying to backup your library now a folder cloning tool such as described in this backup tip is a better way to go.

My main pc died. How do I get my complete library on the replacement pc. Apple says I have authorized the limit of five. I only recall doing so on the dead pc and an IPAD. My IPAD suggests that I am on the cloud but I don't recall setting that up.

My old PC with my Itunes library died. I have attempted to authorize it's replacement but the store tells me I have reached my limit of five. I don't recall doing this so my guess is that and old dead Ipod as well as old dead PC's could be deauthorized ONLY and I would be good. As I read the Itunes store options it appears I can only deauthorize all five. I am afraid I will loose all my library; I'm not shure I have an up to date backup with Itunes I am reluctant to take that step.
I can take the hard drive out of the dead computer and fix so that I can restore from an up to date library. I have never done this before and am scared I might erase my best option. I also have a major portion of my library on a NANO which replaced the dead IPOD which maybe can be used to restore the replacement PC.
I don't recall setting up Icloud and vaguely recall backing up to itunes but can't confirm that my library is completely backed up. Itunes tells me that my Ipad and a PC are authorized for Icloud but I don't recall setting that up. I can assume that the PC that is Icloud authorized is the one that died. If I have to deauthorize all, will I errase my library? If not will I have to restore my nano and Ipad and the replacement PC? How can I confirm that my library is backed up/in the cloud?
My Ipad shows cloud icons along whith what appears to be my library.
Given this info, what is my best option to restore my complete former Itunes library to my PC.
Thank

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.
Cheers

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

Nothing... why would they do anything?
Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.
