Just simple email using 10.6.8, nothing else

I just want to keep my .mac email account running smoothly, I simply have no use whatsoever for anything iCloud offers
Reading the iCloud transition blurb I need to manually configure Mail as 10.6.8 isn't supported (nice one Apple)
Is this all I need to do?
I don't want to change to Lion, been there, done that, no thanks
Currently I'm unable to add an additional email account as the details are already used by MobileMe
I'm worried about removing my MobileMe account in order to set up Mail via iCloud in case I'm unable to retreive the deleted messages, lots of people seem to be struggling
Maybe I should wait until the end of May & see how things work out in the meantime?......

You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it.
Some people have found that they need to change their password to comply with the conditions outlined by Csound1 above.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes there are quite a few similar reports at the moment, I haven't experienced the problem, yet others in the UK have, so we're not quite sure what criteria determines whether you are affected by this. I haven't seen any solutions so far, so it may just be a case of waiting to see if it's repaired or whether the rest of us are going to see the same thing.

    Based on what I can tell, you may have to go to the second hand market in order to get a MBP that will run a compatible OSX.

    I think we need more clarification.
    What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

  • HT201407 I tried to restore my iphone 4, but error message came up and now my phone is just has a blue blue screen and nothing else.  what do I do?

    I tried to update to IOS6 and then it asked me to connect to itune.  The I got an error message when I restore my phone. right afte the phone crashed.  When I tried to restart the phone with pressing the button on the top and the navigating botton for a few second, all came up was a blank blue screen.  Please help!

  • My 16b 3gs was working perfectly.  The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also neohook up to itunes for restore.  It also had a little exclamation button that reads: IMEI:unknown and just below it read ICCID: Unknown. Nothing else

    My 16gig ipone 3gs was working perfectly since it was replaced only a month or to prior.  I was visiting with some friends around the ole pipe and low and behold the phone was completly dried of it's go juice.  One we noticed I reached into the kitchen and plugged it in to the outlet.,,,  The battery died and I plugged it in correctly to charge and it also said Emergency calls only in various foriegn languages. It also said to plug it into your itunes. All the while haviing no calling options to say the least.  I followed the apple instructions perfectly when it said that there was a new version of itunes I should download first, prior to refreshing it.  It went through all of the installing and so on then at the end you still get a useless phone that doesnt work.  IMEI: unknown and ICCIC; unknown (both of which can be found by you on the box or on the sim card case.  I  completley removed the sim card and it worked in my hubbies 3g.   I tried several times and also AT&t had made sure the imei and iccic where correct.  So I spent hours getting nowhere with this.  Its new and nice and broken.. Im going to leave that Apple store with a brand new iphone 4 tomorrow.  Simply b/c it is for my pain and suffering and for giving me a crappy refurbished phone.  Fair is fair.  So if you've found a way to fix great, but Im going to get that free iphone 4  xoxo  toodllloooo

  • Can i just have apple replace the earphone jack on my ipod classic 160gb; nothing else?

    I really don't want to spend $150 on replacing a 10-20 dollar part. I just want them to replace the part, nothing else.

    Apple doesn't actually repair iPod, but does an out of warranty exchange of it for a refurbished model of the same generation and capacity.
    So if you want just the headphone jack fixed, you'll need to find a third party iPod repair service. Google "iPod headphone jack repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

    UDPATE:
    Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated.  Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi).  Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
    After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in  iCloud.  Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
    Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync.  Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
    Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
    BOTTOM LINE workaround:
    1. Backup contacts
    2. Delete contacts in iCloud
    3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
    4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
    Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented.  This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

  • Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

    Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

    Assuming you do not have access to the "original" video/project and the YouTube video is the only copy, there is a method. Try "YouTube Downloader" which is a free software that allows you to download clips from YouTube as .mp4 files. You can then edit with Premiere, and re-encode again for upload to YouTube. Just keep in mind that you are re-compressing the video so there will be some quality loss. The better the quality of the original, the better the copy will hold up.
