I really need iCloud to work with 10.6

I guess i am yet another Apple user for over 20 years being loyal to the products and purchased quite a lot of them including several rounds of Laptops and every iPhone out there. Now i was also using my .mac account with later turned into mobileme...
...and now turned into iCould.
I don't mind change though, but i really need my data to be snyced on all my machines including my MacBookPro which runs on 10.6.8. This is my main machine, and a lot of software runs on it every day which cannot run on Lion, plus that this machine would face sercious performance issues with Lion, my printer would not work anymore because there are no drivers for a KonikaMinolta 2340 DL, so there are a lot of issues that require this MacBookPro to stay with Snow Leopard, aonther OS that i purchased. I also purchased a  MacBook Air 11' with Lion, another investment, and all works together smoothly, why now taking away the syncing with Snow Leopard?
So please Apple, don't make me throw away half of my office and face serious new investments that i cannot effort as of yet to get this to work.
When will iCloud be available for 10.6?
You have told us how easy it is to switch rom PC to Mac since it all runs without any problems and driver hazzle.
Is this still the case?
I'd say then you ought to stick with that promise to ensure that not only new users will be to get onboard, but the loyal once to stay with it too.
Please let me knonw when you have a solution!
Thanks

This is a user-to-user forum: you're not addressing Apple here.
You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
There is no suggestion whatever that Apple will update Snow Leopard to allow any more access to iCloud than that.

    Richard, I agree with you 1,000%. I wrote this in a forum a few weeks ago, when a user was complaining about Snow Leopard not supporting iCloud:
    Why is it that if I bought a Mac before July of this year, I must pay to upgrade my operating system in order to take advantage of iCloud? Meanwhile, a Windows Vista SP2 user, who bought a new computer in May 2009, already has everything they need on their computer to use iCloud.
    Why was it possible for Apple to write a free iCloud Control Panel that was compatible with existing versions of Windows, but Mac users must buy an entirely new operating system?
    If Apple gave Mac users the same amount of backwards compatibility that it gives to Windows users, people with OSX 10.5 (Leopard) would be able to use iCloud. That's something to think about the next time you go to purchase a new computer.
    (P.S. Something else to think about: If you bought a Mac before October 2007 (when OSX 10.5 was introduced), your computer won't run iTunes 10.5 unless you buy an upgrade. But a PC user, who purchased their computer as long ago as Sept. 2004(!), can run iTunes without an OS upgrade.)
    I got so angry thinking about this, that I ended up writing an angry note to Apple on their feedback page. After repeating what I just wrote here, I asked them to commit to providing at least the same level of support to Mac users that they do for PC users when it comes to their cross platform products (iPhone, iPad, iCloud, Apple TV, Safari, iTunes, etc.) And, really, is that so much to ask?
    I wish I knew how to start a petition requesting that Mac users get comparable treatment as PC users. But then again, shouldn't that go without saying?
    Please leave feedback about this revolting double standard on the Apple feedback page. They should be thinking long and hard about why their own customers are treated worse than the customers of their competition.

  • My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    Hi ccharat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    I hope this helps,  
    -Joe

  • TS3988 icloud only works with one version of outlook

    I uninstalled 2013 outlook and re-installed 2010 but I still get an error message when trying to launch icloud. The error says icloud cannot work with two versions of outlook (which i don't have now) any thoughts?

    You need to remove all traces of both versions of Outlook, then install 2010 again.

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

    Why can't I get photo stream or icloud to work with windows vista?

    Have you tried quitting Pages completely, restart the iPad and then go back to Pages and see if they will upload?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    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.

  • HT4759 which icloud features work with Snow Leopard

    I've deleted messages from Apple about the switch from me.com to iCloud and am having trouble finding which features of iCloud will work with my MacBook Pro, running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. (and new iPad)  I'm wondering most about Contacts, Calendars, and doc storage at this point.

    Snow Leopard, OSX 10.6.x, and earlier systems are not compatible with iCloud: 10.7.2 is required.
    If you have opened an iCloud account on a Lion Mac or an iOS5 device or migrated a MobileMe account, this will be the situation on Snow Leopard:
    You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email. A pictorial instruction page on doing this is here (for Snow Leopard, or here for Tiger).
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. (See below for alternatives.)
    Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it. (See below for an alternative.)
    (Macs running Tiger can access Mail but will not be able to sync the other data.)
    There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
    BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
    If you did not migrate your account from MobileMe before 1 August you cannot use Snow Leopard to open an iCloud account. If you have access to a Lion or Mountain Lion Mac or an iOS5 device you can sign into the iCloud prefs pane with your @me.com address and reactivate the address, though not retrieve the account's previous contents. The restrictions listed above still apply, of course.

  • I used to have mobileme which never really worked properly, and now i would like to use Icloud which work with my Iphone and Ipad, however when i synch with my macbookpro, it does not synchronize properly. Can u please help me?

    I used to have mobileme which never really worked properly, and now i would like to use Icloud which work between my Iphone and Ipad, however when i synch with my macbookpro, it does not synchronize properly. Can u please help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    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. 

  • ICloud not working with contacts and says I need to re-install.

    Hi
    On my PC, i've downladed the iCloud control panel my photo stream and my bookmarks work fine but when I click on contacts,calendars an error pops up and says iCloud is not installed properly. Ive logged out then uninstalled and reinstalled again(a few times) but I get the same problem. It worked before but not anymore.
    Im sstrying to get it to work with Outlook 2010.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi,
    My son has Lion installed and I misunderstood what he told me about the download.  (I had presumed it saved the download as a .dmg that you could reuse)
    Reinstalling in Snow Leopard or Lion should not delete any of your personal stuff but it is always wise to have a Backup.
    If when you highlight iChat in the Applications Folder and do a Get Info (CMD + I keys together) AND the change to 64 bit is not staying are you doing it from an Admin Users Account  ?
    (the App will not stay highlighted if you press CMD and I separately)

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.

  • I am unable to sync my outlook 2011 with icloud to work with other devices

    I have updated my computer to Lion, and have Outlook as my primary email/calendar. The calendar is my primary issue: I really want to sync it with icloud so it pops up on my phone. When looking at tutorials my screen doesn't look the same as theirs. HELP!

    Many Thx. But I still have same problems. It is notifying me that "the procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll". I have found libxml2.dll file and copyandpast that into itunes. But, it is not solving my problems. Please help me. Actually where should I paste the missing file?

  • You really need to come up with a fix since it's your update that is causing thunderbird to not download email! This is ridiculous!

    Like the rest of you......ever since the downloaded update, my email won't download my email from mail client. Has anyone solved this problem yet? I know some have said it's gone away on it's own, but so far not my case. I'm getting very frustrated, I thought I had found the perfect email that was close to MS Outlook and it was until this update. I really feel Thunderbird bears some responsibility for this, I know this is a free email program, but giving something for free then making it unusable isn't really very helpful. Anyone with a solution, please let me know. I depend on my email.......I'm Vendor chair for a Scottish Festival and can't deal with my vendors if I can't get my email.

    Hmmm, have you tried turning off your email scanning in your anti virus program?
    The number one cause of mail failure following update in anti virus software either just not coping with the new version or actively blocking it as it does not recognize the version number. People report it "goes away" as the anti virus gets an update from home marking the new version ok.
    The second most common reason is that it has nothing to do with the update at all, but the mail provider has changed the connection settings required and the customer has ignored the mail they have sent or simply did not understand them.
    The third reason is Thunderbird has a bug. It is rare, but does happen.
    If multiple account on multiple domains(Yahoo LIVE Google etc) stop working it is almost always security software.
    If a single account out of a number stops working or all accounts for a domain / Provider stop then it is a settings change.
    So the first line is to disable email scanning in the anti virus and check it's firewall that Thunderbird (all versions) is allowed full access to the internet.
    I would love to be able to organize fixes to this shoddy anti virus software, but there is nothing to be done. People keep paying for it and trusting it. It keep tripping them up.

  • Need router that works with G4 tower and macbook pro G5

    Hi, all,
    I work with a group of people and we share our computers when we work on a project. We use my G4 Quicksilver, currently hooked up to a D-Link router DI-524, rev. C. One of our group's laptop died and got a MacBook Pro with Leopard and installed Adobe CS3 (we are using CS2). Problem is the MAcBook Pro keeps losing it's connection, damaging files in Adobe. The router is not listed as compatible with the MacBook pro (same model, rev A is however) so I guess that is part of our problem. I am confused by the variety of products and want to make sure the local network we use functions better. I almost went for the Apple Extreme until I read about possibly needing an enabler. By the way, I am also having trouble with printer sharing, don't know if it is router related as I can most of the time get on line on the Pro and share files - its just that it cuts out unpredictably and causes trauma in the work flow. Since the G4 is the home base, I am posting here. Thanks

    It sounds like you have at least two problems: reliable wifi connection and version control. The second one I can just say that when I was an engineer we had a separate software application that allowed collaborative work to be done on a project. It is quite complicated, but only one file could be opened and saved so that a person could do their thing on the file and then save it back to document central. The software would keep track of everything and make sure things were saved properly, etc. If disaster struck, you could still revert to the last version and not have to start over.
    The unreliable connection is a fairly common problem. My wife's MacBook Pro is at the other end of the house. The path loss between her machine and the router is significant. Because the Pro has a built in antenna, it's not the best in the world for reception or transmission. I ended up putting a USB WIFI stick on her Mac. I also put it on the end of a USB cable so that I could hoist and move the stick around to get best performance. I'm not aware of any compatibility issues between Macs and routers, but my router is a plain Jane DLink 514 and my iMac, G4, PowerBook Pro, and my Windoz machine running Ubuntu on it are all happy. BTW, I also had to put a USB WiFi stick on the Windoz machine and with the constant internet updates I need for Ubuntu, the connection only occasionally is messed up.

  • I am new to Mac.  I am thinking of getting a MacBook Air.  My most pressing need is to work with photography programs so screen size, resolution, software capability are important to me.   Is a 15 inch screen coming out this spring?

    I am new to Mac.  I am considering getting and airbook.  My most pressing need is to use for photography, so software program capability, display, resolution, are all important. Is an Airbook the best choice and is there a 15 inch screen coming out in the spring as I had heard rumor of?

    You might enjoy this review, which specifically compares it to the MacBook Pro:
    http://www.macstories.net/reviews/13-inch-macbook-air-review/
    Since you will be working with photography, performance and display resolution will be equally important.
    As for future models, no one knows. We find out the moment they become available for purchase, and not one moment before. That is also the same moment speculation on the next model begins. In any event we can't engage in that here; it's contrary to the terms of use.
