Is iCloud needing to be activated for 10.8 to run smoothly?

I am moving to 10.8 from 10.6. 
I read that in 10.8 iCloud is pretty actively promoted by Mac and many application will ask for it to be on.  Is it possible to have it run 10.8 without turning iCloud on?  Anything I need to do to make sure it runs smooth?
Thanks.

Also, it will work properly without iCloud. Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner or Disk Utility's Restore feature, and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Need alternative to isight for 8-core MacPro running 10.5.2...?

    My external isight will not work for more than a couple minutes in iChat before the picture distorts and audio coming from my end is delayed by five seconds. It works fine as can be with my old G4 1.25 running 10.4.8, I was hoping the 10.5.2 update would fix this issue.
    Is there a confirmed working alternative (camera) that is compatible with a MacPro 8-core & Leopard 10.5.2...?

    Hello 2bigfeet
    If you do not get a more specific answer you want here, consider the following.
    (1) If your iSight works properly (and reliably) with other Macs, you may have found a problem with your MacPro rather than your iSight. If so, a new webcam may not fix your problem.
    You can try any relevant suggestions from How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional to see if you can track down and fix your problem or determine that your MacPro needs professional service.
    To assure you meet the considerable speed called for in iChat 4 System Requirements, be sure disconnect or turn off all other devices on your LAN while you test your broadband speed and troubleshoot.
    Especially if you are using other Firewire devices or third-party AV software with your external iSight, pay particular attention to possible conflicts mentioned in the testing info. Even if you can get your iSight working properly with your MacPro, you may wish to use a USB cam for iChat if you must have Firewire devices that conflict with your iSight connected while you connect for video chats.
    (2) Other cam info at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5725045&#5725045
    The comments about UVC cams apply equally to your Leopard Mac without adding any software. Complete support for UVC cams is included in the Mac OS itself after 10.4.8.
    (3) This recent thread gives some specific examples that are working for other Leopard users running iChat 4: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1201902&tstart=150
    Any of the cams there will work with a 10.5.2 MacPro that is working properly.

  • FSCM BADI's need to be activated for ECC 6.4

    Hi Gurus,
    Could you please help me in implementing BADI's for Master data, these are the BADI's provided by SAP standard,
    MAP_PARTNER_2_CUSTOMER
    MAP_CUSTOMER_2_PARTNER
    MAP_CONTACTPARTNER_2_CONTACT
    MAP_CONTACT_2_CONTACTPARTNER
    Do we need implement above ones and also help me with step by step process in achieving the distribution of data to collections management.
    Best Regards,
    Sai

    Unless you have some very specific custom need, you wouldnt have to activate/implement these BADIs.
    In order to achieve distribution of data as per co code functionality, make sure that all the required settings under the following  node in SPRO
    FSCM -- Coll M -- Integration with AR -- Distribution of data in CM
    Once all settings are in place, plz run the prog --> FDM_COLL_SEND_ITEMS or tcode FDM_COLL_SEND01 and send data according as per your reqmnts.

  • Opem Item Management needs to be activated for GL Account

    Hi Friends,
    While creating GL A/c (Loss Claims Recoverble) not select Open item management.
    I want to update the GL A/c with Open item management selection button in GL master.
    While running program : RFSEPA02 giving Message as
    "Do not use the report program to set up open item management for the account.
    Create a new account with the correct account assignment. Post your items to the new account. If you want to use the original account number, you must bring the account balance to zero, change the account assignment, and repost the items. You can remove the old items by archiving the documents."
    and coming out of the program execution mode.
    What shall I do.

    Hi,
    What is the process to revert line items to become account value Zero.(0),
    Again how can we repost line items to the same account.
    My idea is to revert entries through : F-02, is there any other way to revert open items.
    Regards,

  • Need Canon MP600 Driver for Macbook Pro Retina running OS10.9.1 Mavericks, Any Suggestions?

    The Canon website says the MP600 printer is not supported after OS10.7 but they do not offer any advice on alternatives.  I really need the basic print functions to print things such as web pages and documents and being able to use the scanner too would be nice. Other features I can live without. The printer is connected directly to the Macbook using USB.  Any suggestions on using drivers already loaded as standard on my Mac or generics that I can find online would be appreciated.

  • When does LIBPATH need to be set for an Oracle RDBMS running on AIX?

    I am trying to determine the impacts of not having LIBPATH set in an AIX 5.3 environment running Oracle 10.2.0.4 64 bit databases. It would appear these databases may have been ported from Linux and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable was set in some of the scripts (i.e. Cold backup that shutsdown and starts the database).
    My interpretation from research is LD_LIBRARY_PATH would be ignored by AIX, although some hits I have found show this envionment variable set and LIBPATH. If LIBPATH is not set for database scripts (i.e. shutdown/startup for backup, database maintenance, etc) is there any concern? LIPBPATH is not set in the .profile for the oracle account either.

  • BW Business content activation for BPC 7 NW.

    What are the standard business contents needs to be activated for BPC7NW installation in BW?
    I means any infoobjects, cubes specific to BPC which can be activated in BW/BI server.
    Please let me know any input or links.

    Hi Manilyer,
    Good question.
    This topic is covered in the BPC NetWeaver installation guide that in on the service marketplace.
    http://service.sap.com/instguides
    The post activation activities are made up primarily of two things.
    1) Activation of the delivered BPC Process Chains.
    Within the DW Workbench goto the Business Content tab and search for all process chains with the prefix /CPMB/* and activate them all.
    2) Activation of ApShell
    You can do this by running the program UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT. This is not exactly Business Content however somewhat similar. This will create the cubes, infoObjects etc that make up Apshell and load ApShells applications with Data.
    Hopefully this is helpful.
    Cheers, Scott

    i have iphone 5 with icloud accont but isn't for me need to remove oredy erase my iphone but while activated it request  enter your i cloud account plz help me

    Contact whoever you purchased the phone from. That's called activation lock. There is no way to bypass it without the credentials for the account that was used to lock it.

    Thank you Bob.
    Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow?  Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
    Thanks

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    Dear Anubha,
    I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
    The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
    The version is 8.1.0.
    This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
    This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned.  I get an
    "Activation Number" instead.

    how i can active my apple id in first time?does it have need to gift card for activity?

    Either add a credit card or maybe another payment method will work
    or
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
