ICloud and Snow leopard

I have upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 5.1. Does ICloud only work with Lion? How about Snow Leopard?

Agreed. There won't be a 10.6.9 unless there is some critical security issue that has to be addressed. Apple aren't developing anything for Snow Leopard any more.
Still don't know why they can't just put the whole Snow Leopard OS on their open source site, though, and let the rest of us do it.

Mail (Sent messages), iCloud and Snow Leopard

I've manually set my Mail settings to get iCloud mail on SL - thanks to Roger Wilmut http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html. All good except the outgoing mail (paper plane) has an exclamation beside it which reads:
Can I resolve this? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,

So does that mean people on a Windows format cannot take advantage of iCloud from the desktop?
From
http://www.apple.com/icloud
iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices.

Icloud with snow leopard

Hi guys,
I would like to sync contacts in my iphone 4S with my laptop running with Snow Leopard via icloud...
No way to do that!
Can somebody help me???
Thanks a lot

you are right, this is not the only discussion about this problem... but as i saw : it's possible to sync ical with icloud (under snow leopard) just by setting up.
could it be possible by the way to sync contacts between icloud and snow leopard (without upgrading to Lion)

Using iCloud in Snow Leopard

I have spent the better part of a morning researching how to use iCloud with Snow Leopard. I found that iCal Contacts and Mail can be synced with iCloud on Snow Leopard. There are several posts on how to accomplish this. I was sucessful in setting up my iCal to sync with other devices using iCloud on Snow Leopard.
I have tried at least a dozen times to get my Contacts to sync with iCloud and Snow Leopard after finding several posts with explicit instruction as to how to do it. However, every atempt has failed. Each of the instructions I followed were slightly diferent. I have not found one that worked. Blog posts are filled with success stories of how others have gotten it to work, but not me. I can set up Address Book with an iCloud account but when I select iCloud as my list of addresses, all I get is a message saying "no Card Selected."
I am very frustrated that I canot get this to work while others sing praise of their success.
If anyone has a definitive answer as to how to get Contacs to sync through iCloud in OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) please let me know.
Thank you.

There is no definitive answer, iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard, so you are reduced to hacks which may or may not work.
Google for Contacts solutions, there are some, some which work, some which don't. And some that do and then don't.
If you want a supported solution then you must use Soho Organizer, it supports iCloud on Leopard through Mavericks. But it's $99

ICloud on snow leopard?

I am running OS X 10.6.8 with Mail 4.5 and my .me account mail does not come through after migrating to iCloud
Is this too old to use iCloud on? Meaning I have to pay to upgrade to OS X Lion if I want to keep using the service I already pay for????

You are still using MobileMe's email settings: iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

Best practice for iCloud across Lion and Snow Leopard

Hi all,
I'm not going to bleat about SL not supporting iCloud. I understand the business model.
However, I'm wondering if any of you are in the same shoes as me and, if so, how you handle content management across iCloud compatible and incompatible devices.
I have Lion on our 6month old iMac and Snow Leopard on my 6 year old Macbook. This Macbook is still incredibly fast and reliable. I program websites across both devices using software like Coda 2, Transmit, etc etc...
I'm a huge fan of the cloud and, while I can use dropbox on all my devices, I kinda like the inbuilt functionality of iCloud more. (Plus I have more space there). Just wondering what workflows people are using to try and sync and work with content across compatible and incompatible devices.
Cheers,
Danno

There are some hacks to using iCloud with Snow Leopard. One of the keys is you must use iCloud as your primary source for Contacts and Calendars. That is, when you want to make additions or changes to either your calendar or contacts you really MUST do it from the web interface to iCloud. Otherwise you may wind up with duplicates.

ICloud, mobileMe and Snow Leopard

Hi all,
Today I upgraded my iPad to the new iOS5, and was asked to create an iCloud account, which I did, But Snow Leopard does not accept the iCloud id and passworld or the (new) mobileMe email address and password. what's up.???
K
Some background info:
I needed to change my Apple ID from MYNAME to [email protected] (I used the Apple ID web site to do that) so far everything was fine. But then my MobileMe account didn't not work on the iPad (Mail) So I tried to use my old username, but got a message that it was taken!! what gives???? Ok I can live with a new email address since I'm the only one who used it in the past. So I go on to create a new mobileMe email account, but now Snow Lepord dosen't accept my MobileMe nor the iCloud id !!!!!!
I'm not sure when I'll upgrade to Lion, Help!!! How do I sync my stuff? Calendar etc. I used to the MoblieMe sysn for that.

For now, you need Lion to use the full functionalities of iCloud. Apple hasn't revealed any plan to bring iCloud to Snow Leopard yet, but there are rumors.
You can, however, use your iCloud email address with any IMAP client : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.(I haven't tested it since I don't run Lion, but I think this would include Mail 4.5 from Snow Leopard. )
But Snow Leopard does not accept the iCloud id and passworld or the (new) mobileMe email address and password. what's up.???
Just to be sure : by iCloud ID, you mean the one you created from your iPad just after upgrading, and by new mobileMe address, you mean the @me.com email address you created afterwards, right ? Or do you mean you had a paying mobileme subscribtion before ?
And you're entering these infos in the MobileMe preference pane in System Preferences ?
So I go on to create a new mobileMe email account, but now Snow Lepord dosen't accept my MobileMe nor the iCloud id !!!!!!
If you enter your iCloud ID in the MobileMe preference pane in Snow Leopard, it won't work ; as I said, it is not supported. If you enter your new @me.com email address, it won't work either, since it's a iCloud email address.
I'm not sure when I'll upgrade to Lion, Help!!! How do I sync my stuff? Calendar etc. I used to the MoblieMe sysn for that.
You are a Gmail user, so you can sync your mail, contacts and calendars natively and wirelessly between your Mac and iPad : http://www.google.com/sync/mac.html for the Mac and http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 for your iPad.
If you want the other features of iCloud (Photo Stream, Find my friends, backups to the cloud for your iPad, Back to my Mac) you'll have to upgrade to Lion or wait till Apple updates Snow Leopard with iCloud integration, if they do.

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.
Ciao.

Need OS X Lion and Snow Leopard for iCloud functionality but I have a windows bootcamp on my mac. Problem?

I have a windows bootcamp on my macbook. I need to download OX Lion and Snow Leopard so I can . If I do download both programs, will I loose my bootcamp functionality?
Much apprecitive.

In addition to what Kappy suggested, please check your Mac against the hardware requirements of Lion before starting this project.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor

Home Sharing between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard

Hi
I have MacBook Pro both at work and at home. The one at work has Mountain Lion with the latest version of iTune and the one at home has Snow Leopard with iTune 10.7.
I want to share movies on my iTune account between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard. However, it doesn't seem to work....
How can I solve this problem?
FYI - I am not a big fan of Mountain Lion and do NOT want to upgrade my home computer to Mountain Lion.

    I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet. https://www.icloud.com/
    No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
    Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way: copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info. But, recently, this has ceased being complete.
    Apple really left us behind on this one.

Icloud on snow leopard... why not? if a PC user can use it, why I can't on my Snow Leopard?

I wonder why a PC user can use iCloud on his PC... and a Mac user can't use iCloud on Snow Leopard... I'm not talking about use it on Tiger or Jaguar... I'm talking about Snow Leopard!!!!
I think you must do something, for the all real Mac user who can't upgrade every time to the latest version.
How you didn't think that there are ppl who work with Mac and not only kill the time like the switchers

The kinds of things that security updates on Mac OS X has required tweeks for have been just that, tweeks in comparison.
Sorry brody, I'm going to call your bluff on that one

It is not to say you shouldn't update the security on your Mac, it is to say that you can do that, as long as everything else is ready to be updated and your data is backed up.
The issue is Apple isn't allowing updates because they are ignoring older OS X users.
Apple only fixes the issues in the last two operating system versions in circulation, there are many people still using 10.4 and 10.5 on their Mac's just the way rthey bought them from the store. Come this summer, given current Apple behavior, they will start ignoring 10.6 users as well
My Early 2011 17" MacBook Pro is only 1 year old, but in a few months my 10.6 operating system will become insecure. This is stupid for a $3500 machine!
Sure I could update to 10.7 or 10.8 (waiting for 10.8 actually) but lets say I'm the 90% of the average Apple customers who only run Software Update AT BEST and just use their machine like they do cars, put the gas in and go? Never doing the maintainence?
Is it right for Apple to deny all these users essential security updates? Especially given those links above of the quantiity involved of the patches?
Is it right for Apple to leverage security as a means to force pre-mature hardware turnover?
Apple is a big company and they need to think responsibly and support their OS versions for a proper amount of time.

Trying to get icloud, installed snow leopard, now it says I need OSX, but my processor isn't right for it. Is this possible? Do I need to buy a nw computer? will I loose all my mobile me storage?

You will lose the entire contents of your iDisk whether or not you migrate to MobileMe as there is no equivalent in iCloud and MobileMe will be terminated at the end of June. You will need to download any data which you don't have on your Mac already.
Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud and most of the facilities will not work. You can migrate from MobileMe to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard: when asked to confirm that your Mac is running Lion just lie and say 'yes'. Of course you won't be able to access iCloud directly from your Mac.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it.
This will be the situation with Snow Leopard when you have migrated:
Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
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.
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.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).
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.

Support for iCloud under Snow Leopard

Will there be support for iCloud
under Snow Leopard?

Its not really support for icloud, but you can successfully sync icloud calendar to ical in snow leopard.

Has Apple stopped supporting email on iCloud using Snow Leopard?

Has Apple stopped supporting email on iCloud using Snow Leopard?
As of Friday, 27 Apr 12, I have been unable to load me.com email onto my computer although I can still bring in my other account (sbc), but I am only able to view my me.com email using the icloud web site. It loads ok on my iPhone, and I had an appointment @ an Apple store and all my email came in ok while in the store. I migrated to iCloud last year, but I'm still running Snow Leopard because of the incompatibility issues of Lion and other software, specifically Quicken.
Any ideas?

Maybe you should re-think that strategy.
I don't know, perhaps Apple found out about Roger's trick and is now banning 10.6 users from iCloud.
iClould still provides standard IMAP and SMTP services: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
IMO, just use a web based email like Gmail or Hushmail, that way any device anywhere that has a web broswer can get it.
But if you use Apple Mail, then you can access your mail wether you have internet or not.

No iCloud on Snow Leopard? THIS IS A JOKE, APPLE!

Right now I'm thinking about leaving Apple products behind for good. So I can't use iCloud on Snow Leopard (which is not that old)? Meaning my syncing (contacts, bookmarks, calendars etc.) will just stop when they shut down MobileMe in 2012?
GREAT WAY TO DEAL WITH YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS, APPLE!
I can't update to Lion (various reasons). So now what? Dump the crap Macbook+iMac+iPhone in the toilet? Should be a great idea!
VERY PROFESSIONAL, CONGRATULATIONS!

Same here.
I own Lion. I uninstalled Lion. Because, I am suffering the problem of failing internet connection when waking from sleep - it's a very well discussed issue on these discussion forums. This means I am using a VERY expensive 27" iMac with Snow Leopard and no iCloud.
But you know the worst part?
My gaming machine is WINDOWS 7 64bit and it runs Apple's iCloud software install just fine ... go figure that one out! I can use iCloud on ANY Windows machine and NOT my 27" iMac ... regardless of whether people own Lion or not, if ANY Windows machine can use iCloud, I'm certain Snow Leopard users should as well. ANYWAY ...
PLEASE use this form, be polite, and request that they stop using iCloud to sell more copies of Lion (the only reason I can they are doing this) - and get them to release a Snow Leopard version:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html
Discussing it here makes us feel better, but won't get the engineers moving. USE THE FORM!
