ICloud available to use with IMac (Intel)?

My bellsouth.net email was hacked and I want to set up a new email account.  I set up an ICloud account through my IPhone 4S.  Can I set up and use ICloud for my IMac OS X Version 10.6.8?  All updates on the Mac appear current.

To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:

You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

    What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter?

    Hey guys,
    I found out an answer by myself...
    The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
    In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go !

  • Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

    What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

    For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
    are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
    next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
    is excellent. Check out:

  • Any version available to use with Windows ME?

    Running Windows ME with IE 6. Many programs no longer support
    IE 6. Cannot afford new computer. Is there any previous version
    of Firefox available to use with Windows ME, and if so, how
    can I obtain it?

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    Get it from here: <br />
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/ <br />
    ''You may find that the same websites the won't let you use IE6 are going to give you problems with Firefox 2.''
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz.

  • Using external isight camera with imac intel

    is there a procedure to use my 'old' portable isight camera with my new imac intel?

    i did some tests and here's how is is done:
    plug in the FW external isight camera; open SKYPE and prior to calling on SKYPE; go to preferences.; go to 'video' and there NOW two selections 'built-in isight' and 'isight'; select 'isight' and that will be the camera you will using once you make the SKYPE call; HOWEVER if you want to switch back to the 'built-in isight' you have to 'hang up'; go back to preferences and select 'built-in isight' and re-make the call. BTW Apple care in the far far east was next to no help. maybe apple care will read this post and then THEY TOO will have the answer.

  • How do I format my external HD to use with iMac?

    I have an external HD by Maxtor that I have used with a Windows computer. I am changing to iMac and want to use the same drive. I have transferred the files on it to my iMac successfully. But now I can't clean up the drive because everything is "read only". I read in Maxtor support how to format the drive but it was directions for Mac OS 9 and I couldn't figure it out.

    Additionally, you need to be aware of OS X file system formats and partition mapping schemes are two different things.
    OS X requires the Mac OS Extended (HFS+) file system formatting—applies to both PPCs and ICBMs (Intel-chip-base Macs). Details on file system formats are in <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/FileSystem/Art icles/MacOSXAndFiles.html>.
    PPCs require the ApplePartition Map scheme and the ICBMs the GUID Partition Table scheme. Details on partition mapping schemes are in <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universalbinary/universal_binary_tips/chapter_5_section10.html>.
    So, for your situation, in addition to Mr. Clifton's advice, you need to select the GUID partition map scheme.

  • DVI KVM switch to use with iMac and Cinema Display

    I currently have a 20" iMac that I use with a 20" Cinema Display. I'd like to share the Cinema display between the iMac and a Dell computer. Assuming this can be done, are there any recommendations for a DVI-KVM switch? Most important is no loss in video quality when the Cinema display is used with the iMac. The Dell is seldom used and even a straight DVI switch without mouse and keyboard sharing would be OK.
     20" Intel iMac + Cinema Display + Sony HDR-HC7 HD camera   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   All tools, no talent!

    I am also trying to link a Mac Mini and a HP PC with an nVidia FX5500 graphics card via a KVM switch. The mini works fine but the PC does not sync up and the screen is blank and the little white light on the lower right is blinking.
    Any news on your question would be appreciated

  • External hardrive to use with Imac - how to format and to what?

    i have my external hardrive i use with my pc
    how and to what should i format it so i can use ut with leopard and timemachine, also is it possible to make 2 partiton on it so one partition
    would still be windows format so i can backup windows on it too?

    If you have an Intel Mac do this:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two and resize as desired using the sizing gadget. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the PC volume you just created (this is a sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to MSDOS (FAT32) from the Format drop down menu. Click on the Erase button.
    5. Select the OS X volume you just created (this is the other sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    You should now be able to use the drive on both platforms. One partition for OS X and the other for Windows.

  • What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with new intel Mac mini

    As the title - What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with 1.83 intel Mac mini. It does not have to have freeview as I will be using tubestick. I do want to use the hdmi connection. Who's got a great setup, with no issues - model numbers appreciated £1200 ish budget

    So everything is working normal except for screen saver? Hmm. That's odd. Perhaps your settings are such that shortly after the screen saver kicks in the mini is also set to go to sleep. That would cause the screen to lose sync and give the "no signal" message. Check your Energy Saver against the Screen Saver settings and adjust the sleep interval if need be.
    FYI, running a screen saver on an LCD TV is not a good idea long term. An LCD uses a lamp as a backlight, and the lamp has a finite lifetime. Consuming it's limited hours of life by running a screen saver all the time (like overnight, everynight) will shorten considerably the service life of your TV.

  • Windows **** using parallels, imac intel HELP!

    Here's my set up:
    airport extreme firewall (dhcp / nat + reasonable passwords)
    imac intel running parallels running xp sp2
    I'm running call logging software and xp has just c**pped it's pants on me, corrupt data files and all my work is down the toilet, I have backups but not recently as I would like. But I don't know for the life of me why it happened.
    The only weird thing is that I have 3 base stations, one main, two remotes, one of the remotes - the one feeding the imac, disappeared off the network, so I rebooted the main one, and it reappeared, checked the config - it was fine and is now working again I don't know if this is related.
    1. Is this windows s**king as per usual
    2. Or is it a virus taking advantage of windows (windows is on the net through shared networking through parallels and the airport extreme system)
    3. or have a got a dud hard drive and it's about to die on me?
    Urgent help required!
    Thanks,
    Miklos.
