Ipad 4 connecting to a snow leopard Imac?

I just got an Ipad 4, I am running snow leopard on both of my computers, when I plug my Ipad into my computer it says I need the newest version of Itunes, but the newest version of Itunes requires that I have at least lion OS. Anyone have any suggestions? All I want to do is drag some PDF's from my computer to my Ipad, so far I have been emailing them to myself, but they are all at least 10mb each and I want to get about 150 to my ipad.

OK. I thought that your response seemed odd to me. Makes sense now.
You can try this - but its not an "out of the box solution". Apps like GoodReader (from what I have read anyway) will work with iCloud. You could install GoodReader on the iPad, set up iCloud on the iPad and then go to your iCloud.com account on your Mac and drag the PDF files into the browser window and the off files should appear in GoodReader on the iPad.
I can tell you that you can access iCloud.com from a Mac running Tiger 10.4.11 because I do it here in my office. It's not an ideal solution, but it would probably work. There are aspects of iCloud that work with lesser OS X versions on a Mac and this is one way that it does work.

FaceTime fails to connect snow leopard imac

The setup is a home network with ethernet to an up-to-date snow leopard iMac and the WiFi on the same subnet, running off of a Linksys wft54g with the latest firmware. uPnP is enabled on the router.
From a Macbook Air with Lion on a network at work, I can call and receive FaceTime calls to the iPhone on the home WiFi network.
However, FaceTime rings but fails to connect on the iMac.
So, Facetime to/from iPhone is going through the same home router over the same network using the same DNS, etc.. and it works.
But Facetime to/from the iMac does not. I've tried with the firewall on/off on the iMac as well as google DNS, etc., with no luck.
If the Lion MBA is on the same network, all works fine.
Any ideas? What is different about Facetime btw iPhone and snow leopard iMac that causes this difference?
Much appreciated.

HI. I have a macbook air 1.3 ghz intel core i5 / 4gb 1600 mhz ddr3, and i use OS X mav 10.9.4.
Today i tryed to conect facetime either to another same macbook air or iphone 5 and i cant see my camera image.
Facetime opens and i can get audio but no image at all.
Preferences are not available on menu. if i click, it goes gray (notjing shows up) then its impossible to see it.
I have tryed reinstaling os x and also reset smc and nothing worked so far.
I open photo both and image not showing also. open skype and camera preview not showing.
Could it be a problem with my camera? if so, why cant i log in my facetime preferences??
Tks

Will my calendar, etc on the iphone with ios5 and cloud synch with my snow leopard imac not cloud connected? Not much useful information on this as far as I can see.

There does not seem to be much useful information on cloud related matters. I will eventualy uptae to Lion but not for a while. Meanwhile I would like to know
if my calendar, etc on the iphone were I to update to ios5 and cloud would synch satisfctory (usul caveat) with my snow leopard imac not cloud connected?

It is a very impressive phone.
You might want to look at FILES or FILES LITE. I use it for pdf and excel files.
Also, Trapster is very good for directions. And police radar/redlight cameras.

How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?

How do i set up a new lion imac from a snow leopard imac using time machine?

Connect the two via Firewire cable - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old iMac into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new iMac normally.
If you are starting the new iMac for the first time then do the above before you turn on the new iMac. After you turn on the new iMac you will begin in the Setup Assistant. When you complete the registration screens you will be offered an opportunity to migrate your data from another Mac. Follow the instructions to migrate your old Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences to the new iMac.
If you have already gone through the Setup Assistant and created an initial admin user account, then you do the connection step but will use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder of the new iMac.

I backed up 6000 photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6 to new Western Digital External Engine "My Book." In attempting to COPY the pictures to My Book in order to free space on HD, I made a mistake. When I first dragged the iPhoto 11 Library folder to My

I backed up 6000+ photos from Snow Leopard iMac v.10.6.7 to new Western Digital "My book" successfully, I think! But when I attempted to COPY my photos to it in order to free up space on my HD, I made a mistake. When I dragged the iPhoto (11) Library to My Book and re-named it to "iPhoto Library.old" nothing happened. So I dragged it again, re-named it again (same name--that was the mistake, I guess!) and then it took about an hour+ to do its thing. When finished and I launched iPhoto by holding down the Option key, the dialog window listed two libraries: "iPhoto Library.old" and iPhoto Library.old (default)". So now what? It seems that I still have the originals when I open iPhoto, and do I have two copies, also? Should I delete one of them and if so, which one and how? Or should I eliminate both of them and start over again? And if so, how do I do that? Right now, neither my HD nor the My Book have changed the number of GB available or free since before I began this process. Will the numbers only change after I actually delete my original Library AND empty the Trash? I appreciate any light you can throw on this subject for me. I could lug it all to the local Genius Bar, but now I'm afraid to unplug anything for fear I'll lose everything! Thank you, you wonderful, bright people. (An 83-year-old Grandma, trying to keep up a little, at least)

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

Why won't my iPad connect wirelessly to all my iMac apps on Lion?

So I've been having an issue that I can't seems to find the answers to in any forums or in any articles online. I've got both an iPad 2 and a brand new iMac with lion 10.7.3.
Everything is up to date, but here's the problem, I can access some things like VNC, iTunes remote, and accessing the iTunes Library via sharing, however, I can't seem to access, any MIDI controls in my Audio MIDI Setup, nor can I access my docs to go.
I've tried remedying all the issues that have come up via the iMac wifi issues that have plagued a lot of other iMacs. The iPad occasionally appears in the MIDI window, but when I attempt to connect, it tells me it can't and to check the address again.
I'm able to still connect with all of the applications with my old MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but haven't managed to make to correct connections with my iMac.
Any ideas? It's really starting to frustrate me.
Thanks for any help!

Upgrading to Aperture 3 on Snow Leopard iMac 4gb, worth the risk?

Friends, thanks in advance for your advice. I currently run Aperture 2 on a 2008 iMac, Snow Leopard, 4 GB. I am frozen in doubt to upgrade to Lion and/or Aperture 3 because of the tremendous number of reports of slowness. My new camera is not supported in RAW on Aperture 2, it's a Fuji x10, which is a great street machine. I wanted to upgrade to get RAW support, and slide show capability.
My questions:
1. If I stay with Snow Leopard and move to Aperture 3 will I be okay? I am maxed at 4 GB RAM.
2. If it does work decently, will I have to stay on Snow Leopard or do you think Apple will figure out the problem so I can use Lion with its multitouch advantages?
Final thought: I fear that Apple is just not committed to Aperture because the math does not add up. Market share versus Photoshop is negligible. I enjoy my iMac, but it appears that the money is flowing to the iPad, and iPhone because of the tremendous user base.

Hi Tim,
1. If I stay with Snow Leopard and move to Aperture 3 will I be okay? I am maxed at 4 GB RAM.
I use Aperture 3 on a 2007 MacBook with Snow Leopard. When I upgraded from Aperture 2, I noticed that adjusting pictures is not immediate, like it was in Aperture 2. There is a fractional second delay for most adjustments. This got a bit better in some subsequent release of Aperture 3, but to my recollection, it is not as good as it was in Aperture 2. Depending on which format I am viewing my photos (browser/viewer), the delay may be almost unnoticable or minorly irritating. (Of course, I cannot compare them together anymore, and it has been a year since I used Aperture 2.) Knowing about the delay in adjustments, coupled with the new features of Aperture 3, I still think I am in a better position with Aperture 3 than with Aperture 2.
2. If it does work decently, will I have to stay on Snow Leopard or do you think Apple will figure out the problem so I can use Lion with its multitouch advantages?
When you say "The problem", do mean our perceived lack of performance from Aperture? It's hard to say what Apple is thinking. I have never known a software maker to make software faster in general -- they just wait for people to get faster machines while adding new features to the existing software. We do not know what Apple is working on, but we can all hope they examine their software for inefficiencies and redesign things when they find them.

Aperture is not in the same niche as Photoshop; Apple knows this, too. We have continued to get minor updates to Aperture since version 3 debuted, including one less than 2 months ago. They are still working on it. That's all we can really say, though. If you want to see a whole lot of pure speculation and people getting angry at what Aperture 4 might bring, see this thread about. Personally, I agree mostly with the comments about Apple dumbing down Aperture, making the advanced features harder to find and use -- sort of like how Microsoft has made Windows 7 for the anti-power-user and left the power-user wondering how to do things effectively. That's just our speculation, though. For me, it's mostly based on inane questions in this forum. In other words, if the Aperture team makes Aperture work for the people asking those inane questions, Aperture will probably not be as useful to me as it is now.

Why did wifi connect faster on Snow Leopard than any Lion?

This has bothered me since upgrading to Lion and then hoping Mountain Lion would fix it.
When I open the lid on the air (or any macbook) it takes about 10 seconds for wireless to connect. If I take any of the same computers (macbook pro from 2010, air 2011, air 2012, macbook pro 2012) and install Snow Leopard on them, when I lift the lid from sleep, wireless is nearly instantly available.
I work in an IT department in an academic library so I have access to a lot of machines. So I've been trying this a lot lately since the computers I deploy to the public are now all on Snow Leopard after receiving many complaints about the wireless connections.
Granted I live with it on my machine, 10 seconds is plenty fast. But I find it annoying, it's like a step backwards. It used to be fast, now it is slow. I don't find the wait to be acceptable given that Apple proved in older operating systems that near instant wireless was possible.
Is there some way to alter the settings to make wifi connect quicker? I've done all the obvious, my mac address is registered with the networks, my preferred network is the only one in the list, I use a static IP. I guess what I want is for the wifi to never sleep, this is what Dell does on their XPS machines which ironically was designed from a group that used macbook airs running snow leopard in an effort to make wireless instantly avaialble for windows/linux.

I just performed another test. Two identical (serial numbers 1 apart) iMac. These are units I release for public use in a kiosk mode. They are scheduled to sleep during the hours the library is closed. I deployed one with snow leopard and one with mountain lion last week, so far I've received 6 reports that the mountain lion machine can't connect to the internet but when someone assists, it connects. I'm guessing that they walked up, clicked a link and it didn't respond so they asked for help and when the person walked over (takes about 20 seconds to walk to/from the help desk) the machine connected.
Both machines have identical network settings and use wireless where the WAP is literally 6 feet above the machines. So this morning I upgraded the snow leopard machine to mountain lion, and added a third snow leopard machine to the space. I suspect I will start getting complaints on the two lions but never on the leopard.

Slow wifi on Snow Leopard iMac

I have just moved into a new house and have a new isp. Everything is installed and working great but I'm haveing speed issues, only on my iMac. We are supplied with a 30mbps internet connection and most of the time get that. I have tested it on my MacBook and 30mbsp or there abouts is what I always acheive but I am struggeling to get internet at all on my iMac. The iMac is newer and I didn't have any problems before in my old home. I have tested the speeds with the iMac and MacBook placed next too each other and generally I only get 1mbps on the iMac and 30mbps on the MacBook. What could be causeing this and what could I do the fix the issue?

Andy,
I've heard (read) on other discussions here that people using that Virgin Hub report issues with Snow Leopard and Lion.
Could you eventually check if the Virgin unit provide a own network name e.g. "home" or "workgroup", please?
If the settings of the Virgin contain such a configuration, you should change that (if possible) to "local" to match your Mac's settings.

HT1338 After reloading OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard iMac wont install updates

iMac wont update after reinstalling OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

If I recall correctly the gray bar could indicate that a firmware update is installing, or that the system is checking the hard drive.
I've run out of suggestion since without the Install DVD's we can't boot the system to run Disk Utility in order to verify the hard drive. It might be a good idea to give Apple a call to see if they can help you get a set of replacement install discs.
The other option is to find another working Mac and connect the two systems via a compatible Firewire cable. Once connected turn on your iMac with the issue and hold down the 't' key in order to place the iMac into the Target Disk Mode. This should allow your other Mac system to mount your iMac's hard drive as an external volume. If nothing else it would allow you to backup your important files.

Mac-Windows-Connection failes after Snow Leopard Installation

I am dealing with 4 PCs at home – an IMac, a MacBookPro, a Dell Dimension and a Dell Precision Workstation. Before I installed Snow Leopard I could connect easily from my Macs to my PC via “Connect with Server” and the “sudo pico /etc/hosts” hint to rename my Windows-PC to real names (e.g. Dimension and Precision). After the installation I am prompted in OS X to give my account name and password again! And, of course, I don’t work anymore (wrong user name or password error). Because I put those information in long ago, I am not quite sure if I am putting the wrong Name/Password info in or if something happened during the Snow Leopard installation. I was never quite sure if “Name” meant the name of my Windows account I want to log into, or my Mac user name or a combination of both or the Server /Name thing, e.g. Dimension\Name. Just for info: My Windows-PCs can still connect without a problem to both Macs.
Any help is appreciated what information exactly to put in that **** Name/Password box that appears if I want to connect to a Windows-PC from my Mac. Or what else could have happened during the Snow Leopard installation that cut of the former available ability to connect to my Windows-PC from OS X.

I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
user name: computer name\user name
password: as normal
And it worked. Specifically in my case:
user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
password: planning
This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.

How can I import contacts from Snow Leopard iMac to my Mavericks MBP without replacing all of the contacts.

*** Updated - FIgured this out right after I posted... I simply selected all contacts on the iMac, exported as a .vcf then dragged that into the MBP contacts ***
Problem solved...
*Original Question*
I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) running Mavericks... syncs contacts via iCloud with my iOS devices. My iMac is an original intel model from 2006 which can only run Snow Leopard. I have many contacts on that iMac that I would like to copy into the contacts on my MBP.
I used the 'Address Book Archive' feature on my iMac - transferred that to a flash drive then tried to import into the MBP contacts at which point it said it would replace the contents on my MBP... something I do NOT want to do.
Does anyone have a way of bringing all of my iMac contacts in to the MBP without replacing?
I appreciate any help... Thank you !

Sorry but your post says that you downloaded HP drivers from Apple, not HP. Be careful with the information you provide if you want an accurate answer.
