My system is mac os x ver.10.5.8  How do I install icloud?

I have mac os x ver10.5.8 to install icloud do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard?

To start you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard version 10.6.7. Some iCloud features are available, but the primary iCloud features won't be available until later this year after the release of Lion.
You can purchase Snow Leopard at an Apple retailer or the Online Apple Store. This will then enable you to access the Mac App Store in order to purchase and download Lion after its release.

  • I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

    Hi! 
    I have mac os x 10.6.8. The system preferences doesn't show java at all. How can I install java please?

    Don't change your story now. You did not say through Apple, you first gave a link to this site,
    http://www.java.com/en/download/apple.jsp
    You said, "Go there and download the latest version of Java"
    that plainly says,
    "Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below
    Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac."
    This corroborates me saying that Java for Mac OS 10.6 is done through Software Update, no where else.
    If any Mac OS 10.6 user does not have Java on their Mac, they get it from Apple just as the link you provided shows it is from Apple. Not Oracle. You have provided the evidence that plainly contradicts yourself.
    This is your second link that is to Apple.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    Just to go over this again. Software Update not only updates Java to the latest, but if Java does not exist at all, SU will install it from scratch. And in doing so will be the latest version.
    Providing a link to Oracle's site is useless information that does not get Java installed on a Mac running 10.6.

  • HT4759 how can i install icloud to my mac which is running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8?

    how can i install icloud to my mac which is running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8 ?

    You must first upgrade to 10.7.5 or later.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    How will have an option to create an icloud id

    Hello there, vishal274.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great FAQ that provides some great answers to some of the more common questions about iCloud, including yours:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
    How do I sign up for iCloud?
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
    You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
    I had a free Find My iPhone account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    Update the devices that you use with Find My iPhone to iOS 5 (iOS 6 recommended). When you're asked to enter an Apple ID during setup, enter the Apple ID you were using for Free Find My iPhone. Your account will be automatically updated to iCloud.
    I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
    Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Mac Doesn't Meet Min. Specs, How Do I Install?

    We (my company) are currently setting up a back up mac for emergencies so we can continue to do graphics if something happens in the main newspaper house. I'm setting up an old power mac (Dual 1.25 GHZ PowerPC G4, 1GB RAM) but, when I try to install aperture, I get the message "your computer does not meet the minimum hardware requirements," - is there any way to work around this?

    deathleopards wrote:
    When we bought it, it was designed for loads of high end work (I still find it amusing that, it now has similar specs to the mac mini) so, it should. Thanks for your help
    If you bought it new, it was either in 2002 or 2003 depending on model, a minimum of two years before Aperture was even released...
    We can't give you a link to bypass the system check because that would be against the terms and conditions of this forum.

    P.S. In terms of processing power, a 2x1.25GHz G4 is considerably LESS powerful than a current Mac mini.

  • I am on a mac with Leapoard 10.5.8. How do I install bootcamp?

    So... I have recently delved into recreational gameing, and have very quickly found out that there arent very many games compatible on the Mac software. Ive asked around a bit, and everyone suggests Apple Bootcamp. Ive taken a look around on the apple bootcamp site, and its not very informative on what I need to download for my software version (10.5.8 snow leopard, on a old iMac), and what I need to do once I actually have the download.
    Any tips for me?
    Also, if needed I can post more of my computers stats.

    When selecting Windows games be sure to look at the requirements regarding memory (RAM) processor speed, and graphics card specs. There is usually a minimal requirement list and a recommended list. Sorry to say but you will not be happy playing with the minimal requirements.
    From MacTracker I get the following specs for a late 2006 iMac 17".
    Processor
    Intel Core 2 Duo (T5600) ("Merom")
    Processor Speed
    1.83 GHz
    Storage
    160 GB 7200-rpm
    Maximum Memory
    2.0 GB
    Graphics Card
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950
    You can probably play some older games that don't have intensive graphic needs but new games might not even install. This is with Boot Camp which runs natively.
    In general I have found that 2 or at best 3 years of age is all one can expect of a computer to be able to play the newer stuff. If you can't afford a new Mac then perhaps look at the PC gaming computers as they are cheap by comparison and can be upgraded.

  • Want to purchase new mac mini but I do not know how I would install programs from dvd without internal optical drive

    I am planning to purchase new mac mini that just came out today but I do not know how I will be able to install programs or save stuff to disk when there is now internal optical drive.  I know I could purchase an external drive but is that necesary. Thanks.

    If you have access to another Mac with an DVD drive you should be able to share it using Apple's drive sharing feature in the OS or at the very least if you have a firewire cable boot into firewire disk mode...

  • How do I install iCloud on my mac

    I have recently installed Snow leopard and Lion and everything is working fine, but I can't access my cloud as an app like I can on my other mac.  I can get to the icloud, but I want to use 2 computers to upload files, etc.

    Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud's requirements; Lion 10.7.2 is required.

  • Issues with Mac OS X Ver 10.6.4

    I have a 2.66 MBP (mid-2010) which came with the Mac OS X Ver 10.6.3. I have installed the update (ver 10.6.4). After the update installation, the machine took longer to start up (40-45 secs compared to 25-30 secs previously) and while watching videos on youtube the frame would freeze every time I would scroll done the page - it would unfreeze as soon as I stopped scrolling up or down (the audio would continue). Since then I have re-installed the OS and the update - the problem persists. It goes away if I re-install the OS (ver 10.6.3) and do not update the software. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a hardware or software issue? I am running ver 10.6.4 without any issues on my other 2.66 MBP (mid-2010) without any problems.

    M, thanks for the feedback. Since then I have reinstalled the software on my MBP and have realised that the software issue is related to Safari Ver 5.0.1 (I was able to determine this by updating Safari to Ver 5.01.1 while running the system on 10.6.3) and not the OS X Ver 10.6.4. This does not happen while using Firefox. I checked with the local service centre and they weren't able to resolve this issue so the issue remains. The firmware updates are for 15- and 17-inch models so I did not install those updates. Not sure how to fix this issue....

    Your signature says you have 10.6.2.
    @knitternutter: you don't state you system (please always do so).
    Snow Leopard and earlier are not compatible with iCloud: the minimum requirement is Lion 10.7. 2 - as Lion is no longer available you need Mountain Lion if your machine is capable of being upgraded to it.
    MobileMe closed in July. Even if your username and password are correct, you can't sign in in the MobileMe preference pane because there is nothing to sign in to.
    I know that the login and password are the ones that I use for my Mac
    If you mean your username and password for your user account on your Mac, this has nothing to do with MobileMe or iCloud. If you had a paid for MobileMe account you would have a username in the form [email protected] or @mac.com and you could use this to open an iCloud on Lion or above. Otherwise you would have to create or use your Apple ID, again on Lion or above.

  • HT204053 How do I install install icloud on my MAC. I have an updated OSX but I do not have it.

    How do I install icloud onto my iMac? My phone has it, but for some reason I do not have it installed on my Mac.

    Im running 10.6.8, so i guess i cant use iCloud then, but can you (or anyone) please clarify these questions:
    1. Can i use MobileMe for sync in any way? - i still have the mobile-me-button in my system pref (see picture below) but i cant log in. BUT, i can log in at icloud.com with my old MobileMe-user.
    2. If the answer to question 1 is no, how can i sync iCal between my iPhone 4 (running iOS 6.0.1) and my mac? In iTunes, under "info" it says that my calendars will sync wireless using iCloud (wich is impossible seeing as my OS doesnt support iCloud?)
    Please someone help me
