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

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.

      Dear Staff
        I have a consultation with you. Because my sister is updating the IOS8 I phone 4S. Then was not able to use it. Random screen freezes apple. So bring your instruments to Restore Center.

  • Everytime I try to use FF, dozens of pop ups come up saying FF wants to use various Fuji and Fusi fonts. Nothing I do seems to stop these popups and it takes me 10 minutes before I can use FF. why does this happen; how can I stop it.

    The specific message runs something like this: Firefox wants to use Fuji Extended Bod Italic on the volume WD startup. It is not installed. Allow Firefox to use it?
    I can choose allow or don't and there is a checkbox that says "do not ask me again." no combination of these options stops the progression of pop ups, which can last for minutes and will start all over again next time I start firefox.

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • HT4623 why not iam able to share data using blutooth

    Hello
    I face a strange problem with iphone4. I just purchased the iphone 4 but now iam not able to share my images using bluetooth. Is there any solution for that. So that i can transfer my images using bluetooth..
    Please help me for the same. Any software which will enable the bluetooth??

    You can only share photos, by Bluetooth, iPhone-to-iPhone, using one of the peer-to-peer photo sharing apps in the app store. Both phones have to be using the app.
    File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.

    Can anyone help me?

    Good to know that your issue has been resolved.
    To further investigate why that issue happened we would need some more information from you.
    Please tell us more about the settings of DW before applying patch

  • Not able to restrict users from using SU01

    Hi ALL,
    We are working on roles related to SECURITY ADMINISTRATOR.
    The role has been given a transaction SU01D and not SU01.
    But the users are able to enter into SU01 through SUIM.
    I will illustrate this situation more:
    SUIM->USERS->BY LOGON DATE AND PASSWORD CHANGE
    Then I entered the user id.Executed.
    From the result, I was able to enter into su01 .i.e was able to use the change button of su01.
    Please tell me how do I restrict this situation.?
    Reagrds,
    Ajit.

    Access to user administration is not only limited to SU01.
    Most likely, the threads of this search term will explain why the users can access the transaction screens of user administration: https://forums.sdn.sap.com/search.jspa?objID=f208&dateRange=all&numResults=15&rankBy=10001&threadID=&q=SU01_NAV
    Whether the user can complete the transaction is a different story... for that you need to use the application authorization objects (S_USER* objects are a good start - see transaction SU21 for more infos on the application security concept for these objects)
    Cheers,
    Julius
    PS: A troublesom object is S_USER_GRP, because it is important. When the user ID does not have a user group assigned, then the effectivness of this authorization object is weak, which can impact your security (depending on the access of the user without an authorization group)...

  • I have set my home page but the "drag this icon to the home symbol to set your home page" box will NOT go away each time I use Firefox. How can I get rid of it now that I've done what it wanted?

    This little box near the top right started showing up recently, and after a few times I realized I did want to change my home page to my most frequently used web page, so I followed the instructions and it works, but that @W#$ popup box continues to show up each and every time I start, every time I log out of the web page, and so on. Since I've fulfilled its requirements, I'd like to get it to STAY GONE and not get in my way.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • HT1338 why is my macbook freezing when i use youtube and how can i fix it

    Everytime I use anything besides Facebook on the internet my screen goes black and the noise skips or repeats itself and I have to press the power button and reboot. It happens probably 20 times a day and I took it to a genius appointment and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Do I need to update my software or is it a virus or internal problem? I have no clue what to do at this point, I am really clueless and it is frustrating that I paid $2,500, have had this only since spring of 2010, and it will not work properly. Thanks for anyone who has any input or advice!

    There is a little free tool that makes it easy to find the cursor:
    It is called Mouse Locator,
    it sits in System preferences after install, try it and look at the interesting settings.
    Works in SL, Lion and ML.
    If you do not like it throw it out again.

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook via Ethernet cable. I did not consolidate my accounts and kept using my MacBook. Can I update the data transfer now using Ethernet and can I consolidate my accounts?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and transferred data from my MacBook using Migration Assistant via Ethernet cable.  I was confused about consolidating my accounts, so I continued to use my old MacBook.  Can I now update the data transfer using the same process and begin using my new MacBook Pro exclusively?  How do I consolidate my existing accounts?
    Thank you.

    Of course. It does everything it did before Yosemite. You just won't be able to send or receive SMS messages with it.

  • Why wait() is there in Object class why not in Thread class

    why wait() is there in Object class why not in Thread class .
    while we use wait() in the case of thread environment?
    If there is any situation where we use it without using threads please mention with example. or link to that example..

    The question still remain un-answered as the answers provided are not clear. Can anybody explain why wait(), notify() methods are available in Object class and not thread?What part of the answers given did you not understand?
    Have you even tried writing any code that uses wait/notify and thought about how you'd write the same code if they existed only on Thread rather than on Object?
    Have you studied the basics of Java's multithreading?
    Do you know what a lock is?
    Do you know what the synchronized keyword does?
    Do you understand the relationship between synchronized and wait/notify?
    If you can answer yes to these questions, then the reason that wait/notify exist on Object should be obvious. So, which of the above are "no"?
