MacBook Pro w/Lion and IOS 4.2.1 on iPod

I am running Lion on my MacBook Pro but my 2nd gen iPod Touch topped out at IOS 4.2.1, which does not support iCloud. I signed up for iCloud on my Mac but it doesn't seem to have much functionality with iCloud. Am I missing something?

You can only update if yo have a 3G or later iPod. A 2G can only go to 4,2,1
The 3G to 5/1/1/
The 4G (has cameras) to 6.1.3

  • I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

    I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch.  My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5.  But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost.  Is there any solution for this?

    try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
    take a look at this from apple

  • I tried to airdrop Civilization V from a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to a Macbook Pro with Lion and it doesn't work. Other apps have but Civ V has not.

    Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
    If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
    Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
    They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

  • I have a macbook pro running lion and it will not log on to a microsoft exchange server. any suggestions

    i have a macbook pro running lion and cannot log on to my microsoft exchange server.  Not a problem with my iphone and ipad are there any issues or fixes for this?

    I found the following suggested fix, posted by a user on Barnes & Noble's site:
    1. Create a folder in your Applications folder, call it: NOOKforMac
    Once you've done this, copy the Nook app to this folder. This should allow the app to run on the 1st or possibly second attempt to launch it.
    2. Once you're done using the app always quit it by clicking on the X (red in some cases) button of the application window (upper left hand corner)
    This seems to have resolved the issue and my guess is that somehow the .dmg volume path is somewhere hard coded in the app configuration.
    Elsewhere in that thread, the administrator advises calling Customer Service Team at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665) and choose option 2 for Digital Support. 
    Good luck.

  • Have a MacBook Pro running Lion and an IMac running Snow Leopard. Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machine. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

    Have a MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.9) and an IMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machines. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

    If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

  • I have a macbook pro (OSX Lion) and just updated to 10.7.5. There is no longer the option to empty cache in safari. Is this a glitch or a feature of the update?

    I recently updated my macbook pro to 10.7.5 and the option in Safari to empty cache is gone. Is this a glitch or is there some other way to empty cache?

    Uninstall Genieo:

    See if that makes a difference.

    Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

  • Can anyone tell me the compatability between macbook pro running lion and the kindle touch?

    I originally wanted an Ipad, but when I already have a macbook pro, and an android phone, planning to upgrade to an iphone when I qualifiy for one, I could not see paying the money for an ipad when between my computer and phone I have all the capabilities covered. However, being a college student who uses pdf files of textbooks a lot, sometimes pulling out my laptop every time I want to look some little thing up in a textbook gets old. And carrying all my engineering textbooks everywhere is going to kill my back one of these days. So I want a cost friendy e-reader or tablet. Ive heard good things about kindles. But what is the compatibility like for a mac? will it be a pain in the but like my android?

    Get an iPad. Once you have that, you may not really need to spend the money on an iPhone, since the iPad will do everything the iPhone does (and be easier to see doing it) except make phone calls, and even an Android phone can do that.

  • I just got a brand new 13" Macbook pro with Lion and the battery life is terrible. i just got a brand new macbook pro 13in a few weeks ago and everything is fine except the battery life is terrible!

    i have seen many other threads about this, but i just want to know if anyone has found a fix that actually works? or do i just need to wait for apple to send a fix in their next update?

    Suppose you elaborate on what you are doing with the MBP that makes the battery life terrible.

  • Problems with migration assistant between macbook running leopard and macbook pro on lion

    Hi,
    I've just got a macbook pro running lion and am having difficulties transferring through a network from a macbook (running latest version of leopard) onto it.
    It just keeps telling me to update migration assistant on my macbook, which I've tried doing but it already says it's completely up to date.
    I've tried checking that filesharing/firewall etc. is enabled on both.
    Does this mean I have to get a firewire cable? What do I need to do?
    Thank you for any suggestions.

    Turn off your Leopard machine, leave your Lion machine on. Connect your firewire cable between both computers. Start up the Leopard computer and immediately press and hold down the T key until the FireWire icon appears. The hard disk of the Leopard computer should become available to the Lion computer and will likely appear on desktop.

  • Looking for grey desktop wall paper at the start of MacBook Pro  OSX Lion

    Hey guys,
    I really like the grey wall paper with light texture... the one when you start up MacBook Pro OS Lion and you log in. I'm wondering if anyone know where the file is hiding in computer or anywhere on web to download? I wanna set it as my desktop. It's really easy on the eyes and really clean look.
    Thanks,

    I'm going to back up to Firefox 7 next. I'm getting the drift that 8.0.1 and/or flash on 8.0.1 are unstable.
    I'll let you know if that solves this problem.
    NOPE. This had no effect.

  • My sister can't find Pages on her Macbook Pro Mountain Lion, can someone help?

    My sister is new to her MacBook Pro Mountain Lion and thinks she may have deleted the Pages program. She's away at college for the first time and needs this program. I've told her to use Finder and search for Pages, or look in her applications, but to no avail. Help?

    How did she acquire Pages in the first place?
    If it was a purchase from the Mac App Store, all she need to do is launch App Store (from the  menu is easiest), sign in with the Apple ID & password used, click on 'purchases' & click the INSTALL button to the right of Pages in the list.
    If it was from a retail DVD she will need the DVD to reinstall.

  • My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

    My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

    There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
    This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

  • My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7 will no longer connect to either my HP or Epson printers. Both printers report that they are connected to the correct wireless network and until 2 weeks ago work perfectly.

    My Macbook pro running Lion 10.7 will not connect via a wireless network to either of my printers, Epson and HP. Both printers report an excellent connection to the correct network. The Macbook reports "printer not found"
    Until 2 weeks ago all worked well. Both printers makes me think some setting in the computer must have changed.
    Any suggestions?

    System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.
