ICloud synch to Snow Leopard mac

Hi
I am running Lion and considering going to iCloud but have not made the move due to bookmark syching on a non-Lion upgradeable MAC. I am curious to know if anyone has insight into 3rd party apps that would allow me to synch contacts and bookmarks between these 2 computers? thanks in advance

There is no thrid-party solution for syncing iCloud Safari booksmarks that I can find.
However - if you use Chrome, or Firefox, then you can easily sync with Leopard, Snow Leopard and Windows.
There are some hacks that I have found that enable Snow Leopard to access iCloud contacts. It is not for the faint-hearted though. The asiest path may be to use Yahoo! or Google as your cloud based contacts server between computers.
Cheers,
Rodney

I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

Two iOS devices and a Snow Leopard Mac: trying to sync photos

My wife’s tech support group, that would be me , is failing in attempts to find an easy way to sync her photos between iPhoto on her Snow Leopard Mac and her two iOS 5 devices using iCloud.
The bottom line is how best to manage photos during a time all devices are not on iCloud.
Two problems:
1. She now has the two iOS devices reporting different numbers of pictures and slightly different albums. Shouldn't they be exactly the same?
2. Is it better to have her sync her Snow Leopard Mac to the iOS devices using iTunes or iPhoto.
Any basic tips appreciated. Including if this is not the correct Community for this post.
Thank you.

You are in the correct community for posting this question. Most people would never even think to ask. That's very thoughtful of you. Anyway .... to the point about syncing photos.
I do not use Photo Stream and use iCloud for very little as well. I still sync with iTunes because that works for me and I am used to doing it that way. I am running Lion on my MacBook so I have everything I need for iCloud, but .... This is how I do it.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select iPhoto as the folder from which you want to sync.
Click on all of the albums, events, faces, that you want to sync.
Make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked/selected.
Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes

Program fails in Krb5LoginModule on Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

Hi,
FWIW, I've already file a bug report with Apple for this, but maybe you can help me. We have a program that authenticates against Active Directory using Krb5LoginModule. It's been working for years under Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, but under Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), using JRE 1.6.0_15 it fails with the following stack trace:
09:16:36,451 ERROR LoginDialog:225 - Password check failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: EncryptionKey: Key bytes cannot be null!

              // update keys after pre-auth
              encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(
               password, principal.getSalt());Please refer to http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=76405 for more details.

Thanks. I'd already set debug=true in the config file (and with map.put in your example). Apple does indeed use /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos instead of /etc/krb5.conf. I can see that the settings there are picked up by programs I run in the Terminal, e.g. kinit. I'm not so sure they're picked up by the JDK. I have tried to set permitted_enctypes to just des-cbc-crc, but that didn't seem to have any effect.
As for your code example, the result is exactly the same (as I had expected). krb5.initialize() works fine, but in login(), at exactly the same spot in the source, I get exactly the same stack trace. For reference, it's this block in attemptAuthentication():
669                   // We can't get the key from the keytab so prompt
670                   if (encKeys == null) {
671                       promptForPass(getPasswdFromSharedState);
672
673                       encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(
674                           password, principal.getSalt());
675
676                       if (isInitiator) {
677                           if (debug)
678                               System.out.println("Acquire TGT using AS Exchange");
679                           cred = Credentials.acquireTGT(principal,
680                                                   encKeys, password);
681                           // update keys after pre-auth
682                           encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(password,
683                                                           principal.getSalt());
684                       }
685                   }The call in line 673 succeeds, but the one in line 682 fails. The reason is in this method:
    182       public static EncryptionKey[] acquireSecretKeys(char[] password,
183           String salt, boolean pa_exists, int pa_etype, byte[] pa_s2kparams)
184           throws KrbExceptionThere it's this part:
204           EncryptionKey[] encKeys = new EncryptionKey[etypes.length];
205           for (int i = 0; i < etypes.length; i++) {
206               if (EType.isSupported(etypes)) {
207 encKeys[i] = new EncryptionKey(
208 stringToKey(password, salt, pa_s2kparams, etypes[i]),
209 etypes[i], null);
210 }For one of the values in etype[], the stringToKey method returns null. The source code is taken from OpenJDK. It's not available with Sun's JDK, so I haven't been able to step through that part in the debugger.

Migration of files from Snow Leopard Mac to Mavericks Mac

Ethernet cable connection.
Mavericks Mac.
The window: Select the information to transfer - Choose which information you'd like to to transfer to this Mac.
"Checking "My Name" computer", which is the Snow Leopard Mac
Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
Snow Leopard Mac.
The Migration Assistant window: Connect to the other Mac.
"Looking for other computers".
Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
Now my question is, has the Mavericks Mac made a successful connection to the Snow Leopard Mac and because of the 300/350GB of files on it, the Mavericks Mac is taking a long time locating the files that would be transferable? If so, how long should "Checking "My Name" computer" take before I will be able to select what I wish to transfer? And how long would it take to transfer 300/350GB via ethernet cable connection?

Ended up making a connection via Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Restarted SL Mac in target disk mode.
Had to restart Mav Mac and after a bit of fiddling around, a connection was finally made. Info is now being transferred from the SL Mac to the Mav Mac.
Three to four hours to go.

The Mail version for your machine is 4.6 (1085) You can get it via the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Then follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.

I upgraded to snow leopard, mac os x 10.6. All entries in my Address Book disappeared. How do I retrieve or restore them?

Go to the Apple Store and have them install Snow Leopard if that's what you had on the old drive. If you did not have Snow Leopard then you need to purchase a copy:
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.

Sinc iCal from Snow Leopard mac with iCloud

Since long having a .mac account and moved to Mobile Me account, my 3 macs upgraded to Snow Leopard, recently to OS X Lion. But 1 iMac has a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor and can't be updated to Lion. Meanwhile my Mobile Me account is moved to an iCloud account. This leaves my older iMac out of synchronization with my iCal calendar.
Is there still a way to synchronze my 3 Macs? I would be very disappointed for upgrading to the newest system "enhancements" if it isn't.
Thank you beforehand for any reply.
Jerome Maeckelbergh, Belgium

Yes there is. I found a way to synchronize, but take care very much.
You just can migrate your MobileMe account also in Snow Leopard to iCloud. My result was that much calender entries showed double. Making visible-invisible different agenda accounts, I thought to be sure which to delete. Not only the doubles were away, but also half of my agenda entries. After entering again future agenda points (my wife luckily also keeps an antique agenda, such a small booklet with hand written notes, remember that?), this problem was solved and iCal is synchronizing again between my "old" Snow Leopard iMac, my Lion iMac and my Lion MacBook Air.

After transition to iCloud from MobileMe, does MM still work on Snow Leopard Macs?

I have an older MacBook Pro that can't be ugraded to Lion. If I transition to iCloud from my MobileMe account, will MobileMe still sync on my Snow Leopard MacBook Pro at the same time my Lion MacPro and iOS5 iPhone sync to iCloud?

No.
You cannot have both, only one - MM or iCloud. If you go the iCloud route, Snow is out .
