Icloud set up help...on windows 7 with older macs in house

Hello
Thanks for any help...I am trying to get my photos backed up to the cloud.
I hope I got this right
I went to sign up and it said I needed at least a windows PC or a mac that is a later version OS
than my 10.6.8 and 10.5.0
does this mean i can do the initial set up on my pc and then use it on my 10.5.O mac to upload my pictures to
the cloud...most my photos are on 10.5.0 mac mini...
OR do i have to have a different icloud account for mac and windows?
Thanks I am so confused as to how to save my photos before I get a new mac and time capsule...
i lost them all before and thankfully they were backed up to a drive...
I want to secure these photos the best way I can as so many loved ones have passed away...
Thanks...any help would be so appreciated...I don't mind paying for extra cloud storage if i know those
photos are safe...
and that I can set up on windows 7 and use it on my older macs

iCloud doesn't backup your photos, so there'd be no point trying to use that.
Use Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive.
Dropbox works on OS X 10.5.8 at least, so that may be your best option.

While updating my iphone 4s to ios6, I had to restore it. Now every time I connect to itunes, I get the "Set Up Your iPhone" window with the set up as new iphone and restore from backup options. After the restore, I got everything except my apps back.

Does version 3.0.1 allow sync with older Macs with PPC, or only with icloud?

Does version 3.0.1 allow sync with older Macs with PPC, or only with icloud?

Thanks again John,
That is exactly what I mean, Im having problems giving planning users only calc access for Essbase. If I do that the users are not able top run scripts from the Planning app.
What is strange is that for a while it was working for some users, but not for others, now the only thng that works is to give users admin rights for Essbase server.

CS6 compatibility with older macs (2007-2008), using Mavericks 10.9

I've heard about compatibility issues with older macs (2007-2008) when trying to run Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection CS6 with Mavericks 10.9. Right now I'm using CS6 on my existing mid-2007, with Mountain Lion, -works great, and I'm worried if I upgrade to Mavericks there may be problems (based on FAQs)
I do lots of video editing/rendering and am looking into getting another back-up computer to speed up editing time. I'm looking at purchasing an older Apple Mac Pro Tower : 2008 : Xeon 8-core 2.8ghz : 16gb ram : 1TB hd. Will this run Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection CS6 if I'm using Mavericks 10.9? If not, why?
Does the issue pertain to Mavericks with older macs, or is it CS6 with Mavericks, or what? Thanks!

Mac 10.9.3 and CS6 https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1480238 may help

How can I get pictures on iPhone to photostream with iCloud? I can't sync with my Mac because it is older.

I have an older mac so I know I can't photostream due to it not even having iPhoto .. but the real dilemna is how in the heck do I get my photos on my iPhone 4 to photostream with iCloud? I have it turned on ... on my iPhone and still nothing in iCloudf??? So frustrated!

Select your iPhone and under Options, check "Sync only checked songs and videos". This option actually also applies to Books, and all other media types. If they aren't already showing, go to iTunes>Preferences...>Show list views for all media and also Show list checkboxes. Then go to your Books section and select List view. Uncheck the books you do not want synced, and then sync your iPhone. Repeat for your iPad.
Also, all newly added Books will automatically be checked. Hope you like that.

Toshiba TV with older Mac Mini

Hi,
I was thinking of buying a HD TV by Toshiba that claims it can be connected to a Computer (makes no mention of Mac) using it’s “PC INPUT (15-PIN D-SUB)“ port. I’ve seen others mention using HDMI instead. What port on my older Mac Mini would I connect to? I think the video port is an HD monitor out.
Anyone have any experience with this? I wanted to use the TV as a monitor for the Mini some of the time.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

All minis have had some form of DVI up until the most recent model. DVI can provide either an analog or digital signal, and because of the ubiquity of VGA monitors the early minis came with a DVI to VGA adapter. The same DVA connection however can deliver a digital signal if the video hardware in the computer supports it, which the minis always have. Audio is not included in this type of connection however, although some TVs support using a combined HDMI and secondary audio input. Many times one HDMI is specifically grouped with a set of RCA inputs on the back for this purpose.
The big difference in how you connect is that most standard video devices sources have historically used an overscan method of image delivery. The image is actually larger than the screen area you will be presented, so the TV overlaps the outer part beyond the actual viewing area. This is largely an artifact of when CRT TVs had fairly widely varied true display areas, and even broadcast equipment couldn't provide a perfectly consistent image area. Because this practice is still used, most video input methods designed for 'dumb' video source like broadcast, cable, satellite, or set top boxes and players use an overscan method. Some TVs allow you to adjust this for the normal video type inputs, like composite, component, S-video, and HDMI. Computers have basically always used a pixel for pixel image rendering model, so VGA as an almost exclusively computer standard does not use overscan. Thus, when a TV has VGA, that input does not use an overscan method to display the image.

Using iTunes store with older Mac

I have a 5 year old Mac PowerBook G4 10.4.11, and cannot seem to access iTunes store any longer. My older Itunes store has ceased to function and the new version will not work on older Mac (yay Apple!). The new version needs 10.5 to work, so I am left with a non-functional iTunes.
(I also just want to point out that 5 years old is NOT ancient for a home-based laptop.)
Is there any way I can continue to buy music at iTunes with a work-around, or a version of the current iTunes made for older Macs, or should I just shop elsewhere, at (ironically) more Mac-friendly online shops?
I specifically bought my machine planning to have a long life out of it and get good value, but now Apple are turning a really happy customer into a really seriously ****** one with this ploy to get me to update my machine, which I will not do unnecessarily.
A very unhappy, currently unable-to-buy-anything customer.
In the meanwhile, if anyone can help or give sound advice, besides moving to Ubuntu and avoiding Apple altogether henceforth, I'll be really appreciative.

Lee888,
There has been some unhappiness about that lately, but indeed the Store will not work with old versions of iTunes.
But you can easily shop for music at the Amazon.com MP3 Store. (If you are in the UK, use amazon.co.uk).
The Amazon store only needs a browser, so is unaffected by upgrade issues. I guess it meets your definition of "(ironically) more Mac-friendly online shops."
Once you have the MP3s, simply add them to your iTunes library.

IPad with older Mac?

Hi,
My Dad ordered an iPad (hasn't arrived yet) and I was going to help him set it up, but the tech specs says it needs at least OS X 10.5.8 and I have 10.4.11.
Can I transfer files without syncing it with iTunes? Besides not being able to sync, is there anything else I can't do? Can I at least charge it with my Mac's USB port?
thanks
Jeff

No you can not transfer files without syncing it to I Tunes. When you get it, you have to set up the I pad thru I tunes. If you have an I tunes account, you can go to another computer, sign into i tunes with your account. Then sign back out. It is pain, but that is the only way unless you upgrade. The charging question, I am not for sure.

Networking together with older Macs

I am running Tiger 10.4.3. I have in the past, with earlier versions of OSX, connected to computers in my household running 8.6. I had to do this when I changed over to my new computer, which at the time was using Jaguar. We got a DSL connection, so we decided to network the computers together. I cannot mount the disks from the older computers running 8.6. They show up in the Network, but when you click connect, we get the error message: This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it.
Do I have something set up wrong, or has apple made it impossible for a computer running Tiger to connect to a computer running 8.6? If they have made it impossible to do this, will it be possible for me to connect to my children's computers if I upgrade them to 9.1?

Is there a way for them to access my computer
without
having to enter an IP address each time?
This should be possible if you check the "Make
AppleTalk Active" option in Tiger's AppleTalk pane of
the appropriate network port in the Network system
preference. (Probably "Built-in Ethernet" if you use
a wired router.) This should 'broadcast' the Tiger
Mac's network name (set in the Sharing sys pref) to
the older Macs, allowing them to see that name in the
Chooser & connect to it in the traditional way.
We have AppleTalk active in Tiger. We can see the name of the Tiger computer in the chooser on the older computers, but if we try to connect that way, it loses the connection. If we enter the IP address, in the chooser, it works though.
One word of caution about this one way sharing: the
older OS versions don't know enough not to show files
on OS X Macs that they shouldn't. You should make
sure your kids don't access it using an admin account
name to avoid exposing more of the OS X Mac's hard
drive than necessary. Even if they just can access
their own account's home folder (recommended), public
folders, etc., a few normally invisible files will
show up, so make sure they understand they should not
disturb them.
They only have access to the public folder.
Can 9.1 communicate both ways?
Yes, as long as the enable file sharing over TCP/IP
box is checked in its File Sharing control panel.
(This is the checkbox missing in earlier versions.)
I have an old SuperMac S900 that doesn't officially
support anything later than 9.1 either (because it
uses a 680X0 processor). Its network name appears in
Tiger Finder's networked volumes list & I can connect
to its "available shares" without getting the
incompatible AFP version error or any other problems.
It is sometimes slow to show up on the network list
after starting up, & the same may apply for your
children's Macs, but if you give it 5 minutes or so,
they should appear & work just as well.
Well, that is good to know. My children all have power PC's PowerMac 5400 for most of them and one PowerMac 5500. Got them all at school auctions or they wouldn't have their own computers. : - )

IPad with iOS6 update not syncing with older macs

I downloaded iOS6 for ipad, but now cannot sync with my mac because I'm running an older version OS X (version 10.5.8). Does anyone know a solution to this? It's important to us that we can update the ipads as we use these in meetings.
All the best,
Tim

Apple's documentation is a bit confusing. iOS6 seems to require iTunes 10.6.3 which you can download here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
and which should run on Leopard. However it still may not be possible to sync with this - the Tech Specs for the iPhone 5, http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html , say
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
I would suggest downloading iTunes 10.6.3 - it's free - and seeing how far you can get with it. If you can't sync you will need to upgrade your Mac at least to Snow Leopard.

1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
What happens when you try this? Do you still get the kernel panic? If so, then there is a hardware failure. It could be the video card but it could also be caused by a defective memory module. You might try running the hardware test:
How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer. After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears. Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours. If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
Some "common" error indicators:
SNS - sensor error
MEM - memory error
HDD - hard disk drive error
MOT - fan error
If this fails as well, then you will need to take it in for repair.
