ICloud - how to get it on older OS versions?

Hi,
I was helping someone tonight with a MacBook Pro, 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 160GB disk.  They are running OSX 10.5.8 aka Leopard.
I had setup iCloud on her PC so the pictures taken from her iPhone and iPad all show on each other.
She's wondering how to get this feature on the MBP.
It looks to me like I'd have to upgrade to Snow Leopard and then upgrade again to Lion, is that correct?
It looks like this MBP is in the specs for Lion but would it be slower or run it just fine?  Would I need to upgrade the memory at all?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

It will be a LOT slower and you need at least 4GB RAM, despite Apple only saying 2GB.
Also nearly all the 10.5 software will NOT work, so that's another expense for a old machine.

10.6 on the other hand will run most all 10.5 software and NOT need a RAM upgrade AND is the fastest OS X verison yet. Faster than 10.5 OR 10.7!!!
You can get emails, but not the other iCloud feaures on 10.6

Guess what? 10.8 Mountain Lion is going to be released this summer, a lot of machines won't be able to run it, so again your behind!
10.8 will run a lot of 10.7 software as they are both 64bit OS, it's the 10.6 just to 10.7 that's a real pain on software.
My advice is to upgrade to 10.6.8 on that machine and leave iCloud 10.8 for new hardware.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Rahul.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

    For whatever it is worth, eLive has little useful in it.  So far, most of the content has been links to either a YouTube video or Adobe TV.   Searching either on your own is more productive.

  • Notes disappearing off ipad  but see them in icloud how to get them back on ipad

    disappearing notes in notes app but see them in icloud
    i had 10 notes in my iOS5.1 ipad then I turned on icloud with notes
    all the notes went up to the notes folder on icloud mail plus some were duplicated on  icloud - than a day later I went to my notes app on the ipad to use them  and all were missing but 2 notes -- I can't figure out how to get them back on to the ipad under notes -  I saw lots of people having the same issue but no resolution to fix - can you give me any ideas  - I only have 2 devices   ipad and pc with icloud
    thanks marsha

    Hi Michael, thanks for replying. Yes, I meant the music videos. I want to keep on using Match but at the same time I want my music vids included as music. The alternative is to consider them a basic "movies" but it is just not it... It is also strange that I can not delete from the iPad a downloaded song from match without turning of Match on the iPad. Well, we´ll have to live with it.

  • ICloud: how to get my appt entered on my iPhone to show up on my calendar in my computer

    They helped me download iCloud to my PC today at the Apple Store, and my calendar now shows up on my iPhone -- yay -- but I entered an appointment on my iPhone, and it is not showing up on my computer. How do I make sure appointments entered on either end show up in the other device?

    thank you for the reply!
    As it happens, I tried something and it seems to have worked. When I enter a new appt on my phone it automatically has it under the Calendar for me. I didn't know to even be aware of this. But there is another option, which is iCloud. When I click on the iCloud calendar for the appt I made on my phone, it then shows up on my calendar in my computer.
    unfortunately, there are three calendars under iCloud -- calendar, local calendar, and punchbowl. When others have sent me appts that I'm invited to attend, they show up in either local or punchbowl, so I don't see them on my computer unless I go to that calendar, but then all my other appts are not visible. They do show up on my phone (tho not always on the same day as they appear on my local or punchbowl calendar on my computer), but I can't edit them, since I didn't make them, and therefore can't click iCloud calendar which would then make them visible in my regular calendar (which now needs to be the one under iCloud) on my computer.
    any thoughts on how to get ALL my appts to show up on the same calendar on my computer? And how to edit an appt someone else sent me (especially to make it on the right date)?

  • How to get TOP 5 results in version 7.3.4?

    Hello,
    I have try to use subquery in a query to get the top 5 result in Oracle version 7.3.4, it seems like not working. Can you please tell me how to get the TOP 5 results with Oracle 7.3.4??
    For example,
    REJECT CATEGORY QUANTITY
    AA 100
    BB 5
    CC 20
    DD 73
    EE 88
    FF 76
    GG 43
    HH 99
    So i want to get the result as AA, HH, EE, FF, DD.
    Thanks.

    I don't have that version available to me and I forgot if rownum was already available. See if this works:
    select * from (
    select category, quantity, rownum rn
    from reject
    order by quantity desc)
    where rn <= 5;
    Note that this is not the same as the TOP posibilities in 9i, but you example seems to suggest this should be enough.
    Also note that on big tables, this query is performing porely because Oracle first needs to sort all records.

  • How to get iphoto on mavericks as version 9.6 needs yosemite

    hi guys,
                i do not have iphoto on mavricks as 9.6 only works for yosemite. But as yosemite is very slow I reinstalled mavricks so now i dont know how to get a version of Iphoto that is compatible with mavricks.

    For Mavericks y0ou nee iPhoto '11 version 9.5.1 - what version did you have before you reinstalled Maverics? You should be able to
    reinstall from the original source - probably #3
    Could be
    1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
    or
    2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
    or
    3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

  • Left iCloud - how to get iCloud calendars synced from iPhone?

    Like many people have experienced, iCloud's calendar-syncing issues have made a mess of my calendar-dependent schedule.An unmitigated disaster. I finally signed out of iCloud, and left the iCloud calendars on my iPhone, the only place other than iCloud my multiple calendars currently exist, due to Outlook sync problems.
    Now, I can't get the multiple calendars on iPhone to sync with ANYTHING else, not google calendar, not outlook, not iCal. Only the main calendar syncs up, noe of the colored other categories I was using.
    If anyone has a notion of how to deal with this I'd be deeply appreciative. Thank you!!

    on copyEvents(sourceCalName, destCalName)
    tell application "iCal"
    set sourceCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the sourceCalName)
    set destCalendar to (the first calendar whose title is the destCalName)
    set calendarEvents to (events of sourceCalendar) -- get the calendar's event list
    repeat with myEvent in calendarEvents -- repeat for each item found in the source event list
    --Don't bother with old events
    if start date of myEvent > ((current date) - oldEntryDays * days) then --event is in future, or within prefs for old entries
    -- gather relevant details of event to create new event with
    set eventStart to start date of myEvent
    set eventEnd to end date of myEvent
    set eventAllDay to allday event of myEvent
    set eventSummary to summary of myEvent
    set eventRecurrence to recurrence of myEvent
    -- create event in destination calendar with details of subscribed event
    tell destCalendar
    make new event at end with properties {summary:eventSummary, start date:eventStart, end date:eventEnd, allday event:eventAllDay, recurrence:eventRecurrence}
    end tell
    end if --if not older than 'oldEntryDays' days ago
    end repeat --iterate through entries in source calendar
    end tell
    end copyEvents

  • Solaris 8 on a v440 where do I get drivers for older solaris version?

    I have a db cluster of v880s on Solaris 8. I need to temporarily move the database to a v440. I created a flash archive on the v880s and, of course, it didn't work after installing (got tod error and couldn't boot). I know this is because it is too old a version of Solaris. My question is, can I apply the new drivers to the v880 and then create a new flar image? If so, where do I get the drivers? Also, is there any way to apply the drivers to a system that has been imaged already with a flar from a v880? Can I apply them as a post-install script under jumpstart? Can I somehow boot from cdrom and then apply them? Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is a fairly urgent matter as we have a firm date with movers that can't be changed.

    Hmm, the V440 is a quite old box as well, so it should work with Solaris 8 7/03 or older.
    There are three alternatives as far as i can see:
    1: What version of Solaris 8 are you using? If you are using 7/03 or later it should be sufficent if you booted the V440 into singleuser mode (from cd/dvd or network) mounted the disk and ran devfsadm -R on it.
    2: If the Solaris 8 would be older than 7/03, you should, as far as i can see, be able to install the flar archives from your jumpstart, and then boot of a Solaris 8 7/03 (or later) cd and run an upgrade from it.
    3: Apply the following patches, either to your 880 before you create the image, or to your V440 after installing the flar (you would have to apply the patches from single-user as mentioned inn step 1, it should be possible to add the patches from a jumpstart image using the patchadd -R command).
    108528-22 (or newer) Kernel Update patch
    108974-31 (or newer) sd and ssd patch
    109873-19 (or newer) libprtdiag_psr.so.1 patch

  • How to get rid of an old version of Keychain

    I have two versions of Keychain that show up when I look in the system information area.  I suspect one is from my old laptop when I did the migration.  I have been getting errors saying Keychain is not supported by Lion and I suspect it is because the computer is trying to access the old version.  Can anyone tell me how to remove the old app but keep the password info that should be somewhere in this new computer?

    Drag it to the Trash and empty. You may be prompted for your login password.

  • How to get Serial No on IDS version 4.x

    Hello,
    We have sensors that are physically located at many remote sites with no human on site. They are running IDS Version 4.x, please advise is there a command or way to find the serial number without flying to the remote sites.
    Thanks,
    Simone.

    With version 4.x most sensors will not show their serial number with any command.
    The 4240 and 4255 being newer models do have a "show inventory" command in version 4.x that will show the serial number.
    The IDSM-2 and NM-CIDS serial numbers should be viewable through the switch or router in which they are installed. Try the "show module" or "show inventory" commands on the switch or router.
    For all other older appliance models (4210, 4215, 4235, 4250) you will need to physically look for the sticker on the box if you are running version 4.x.
    In version 5.x the serial number of the sensor was added to the output of "show version". This functionality was added to all sensor models (all appliances and modules) as part of version 5.x.
    I am assuming that you are looking for the serial numbers in order to get your contracts up to date and get the licenses for when you upgrade to version 5.0.
    The easiest solution at this point is to just wait on getting the serial numbers until you've done the upgrade to 5.0. Then a simple "show version" will give you the serial number.
    One concern you might have is that if you upgrade to 5.0 without having the serial number on hand then your sensors might stop working.
    This is not the case. When you upgrade from 4.1 to 5.0 the sensor will convert the 4.1 config to 5.0 style config and will continue to work as normal even without a license.
    All the license does is control the installation of signature updates on a version 5.0 sensor.
    Without a license the signature update would be rejected by the sensor, but all other features on the sensor continue to work just fine.
    The best thing to do is upgrade to 5.0 when you are ready, and use "show version" to get the serial number.
    Then attempt to get a license for that serial number. If your service contracts are up to date then you should be able to get and apply the new license without a problem
    BUT if you do have a problem getting the license, you do have another alternative. You can request a free 60 day Trial License (the Trial License would have to be requested for each sensor serial number).
    This will give you an additional 60 days to get your contract up to date and get a full license (the only difference between the full and trial license is the time frame. The trial is only 60 days, the full license is for as long as your service contract).
    Something to be aware of.
    The service contracts that were purchased for version 4.x or earlier sensors are being converted to new version 5.x service contracts.
    Most of these contracts have been converted, but there are still several that are in this conversion process.
    Cisco is trying to get these converted as soon as possible, but it may still be a few weeks.
    So if you can't get your sensors licensed this may be the issue.
    In the meantime we have disabled the license checking in all of our updates. So the updates can be installed on the sensors with a license being required.
    We won't be enforcing the license until after we have received word that all version 4.x service contracts have been converted to version 5.x contracts, and users have an opportunity to get their sensors licensed.
    So if you upgrade to version 5.0 today, you can install the latest (and next few weeks worth) updates without any license. Once we start enforcing licenses then you can request the Trial License and get an additional 60 days of updates.
    This hopefully will give you plenty of time to get the serial numbers, get your service contracts in order, and get your sensors licensed.
