Sinc iCal from Snow Leopard mac with iCloud

Since long having a .mac account and moved to Mobile Me account, my 3 macs upgraded to Snow Leopard, recently to OS X Lion. But 1 iMac has a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor and can't be updated to Lion. Meanwhile my Mobile Me account is moved to an iCloud account. This leaves my older iMac out of synchronization with my iCal calendar.
Is there still a way to synchronze my 3 Macs? I would be very disappointed for upgrading to the newest system "enhancements" if it isn't.
Thank you beforehand for any reply.

Yes there is. I found a way to synchronize, but take care very much.
You just can migrate your MobileMe account also in Snow Leopard to iCloud. My result was that much calender entries showed double. Making visible-invisible different agenda accounts, I thought to be sure which to delete. Not only the doubles were away, but also half of my agenda entries. After entering again future agenda points (my wife luckily also keeps an antique agenda, such a small booklet with hand written notes, remember that?), this problem was solved and iCal is synchronizing again between my "old" Snow Leopard iMac, my Lion iMac and my Lion MacBook Air.

    Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.

  • Can I use iCal/Mail from Snow Leopard to access iCloud?

    Hi All-
    I got the iOS 5 upgrade on my iPad & iPhone.  I have a MBP that is running Lion (10.7.2), and a MacPro that is still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
    I currently use MobileMe to sync my calendars, contacts, and bookmarks.  I can view these in iCal, Address Book, and Safari, respectively.
    If I move my MobileMe account to iCloud, will the iCal, Address Book, and Safari Bookmarks on my Snow Leopard Mac Pro still sync properly, or will I need to upgrade my MacPro to Lion prior to migrating to iCloud?
    I can initiate the move on the MBP, but I don't want to strand the MacPro.
    Thanks!

    This is what applies on a Pre-Lion Mac when you upgrade your MobileMe account to iCloud:
    Your email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud.
    Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
    Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
    You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

  • Switch to OS Lion from Snow Leopard to get iCloud

    Is it safe to switch from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Lion (to start using iCloud) on a iMAC (end 2009, 3.06 GHz processor Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB memory) without meeting complications like slowering or loss of programs?

    You can update your OS to 10.9 for free.
    You lose the PPC apps but can install Snow Leopard on an external drive if you need to use them.

  • Migration of files from Snow Leopard Mac to Mavericks Mac

    Ethernet cable connection.
    Mavericks Mac.
    The window: Select the information to transfer - Choose which information you'd like to to transfer to this Mac.
    "Checking "My Name" computer", which is the Snow Leopard Mac
    Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
    Snow Leopard Mac.
    The Migration Assistant window: Connect to the other Mac.
    "Looking for other computers".
    Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
    Now my question is, has the Mavericks Mac made a successful connection to the Snow Leopard Mac and because of the 300/350GB of files on it, the Mavericks Mac is taking a long time locating the files that would be transferable? If so, how long should "Checking "My Name" computer" take before I will be able to select what I wish to transfer? And how long would it take to transfer 300/350GB via ethernet cable connection?

    Ended up making a connection via Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
    Restarted SL Mac in target disk mode.
    Had to restart Mav Mac and after a bit of fiddling around, a connection was finally made. Info is now being transferred from the SL Mac to the Mav Mac.
    Three to four hours to go.

  • Moving accounts from Snow Leopard Macs to Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server

    I got my brand spanking new Mac mini today with Snow Leopard Server! So far, we (at home) were managing our accounts on individual iMacs and a MacBook Pro. While I will be getting into the innards of account migration, management etc. I thought I'd post a quick question here; Currently I have an iMac with three user accounts on it (wife and two kids). I also have my own personal MacBook Pro with my account (the only Admin account) on it. We'll soon be getting another iMac for our daughter (who currently has an account on the existing iMac). My idea in getting the Mac mini was to move to and centrally manage all the user accounts in the household on the Mac mini server. What is the best way to accomplish this? What is the best way to move the existing accounts on to the server?
    Additionally, I'll be looking into connecting the two stationary iMacs with Powerline Ethernet (where one runs Ethernet over existing electrical wires in the walls). My other option would be to rely on wireless network (I don't think this would be a good idea for if I am going to be placing the user accounts on the server and there needs to be a constant on, reliable connection between the server and the client computers as they will be talking to each other a lot!). Any thoughts on Powerline? (I am not looking forward to installing Ethernet cabling behind walls :o))
    What say the wise men of Mactopia?!
    Thanks,
    Kenneth.
    P.S. I had earlier accidentally posted this in the corresponding section of Mac OS X instead of the Mac OS X Server forum.

    Ok so the esiest way to explain this is to tell you what i just went through.
    I have 3 user accounts. All the accounts are network Users meaning that there home folder are kept on the server. I was having a problem with Time Machine giving me error 41 and error 11. After scratching my head for 2 days I ended up copying (Drag-n-Drop) the Home Folders to an External Hard Drive. I then proceeded to erase both of the internal hard drives on the mac mini and did a fresh local install of the Server OS.
    Everything was fine at that point. Now this is where Snow Leopard stopped being nice.
    I went and Created the user account again using WGM. I let WGW create the home folder and the 9 folder inside. I made sure the short names were the same and the passwords were the same as they were previously.
    However, once i Copied files from the external drive to the home folders the permissions copied as well, Which i guess should be expected. So now at this point apparently the UID's of the newly created users wasn't the same as they were before the clean install. I have multiple instances of root listed in the ACL for several folders and also had several instances of System listed sporadically.
    Now, This isn't to say that you can't drag n drop because now That I have it all squared away and everything is now working ok, I would probably still drag n drop the home folder off to an external disk, but only because I now know what to do to clean things up.
    if you drag and drop be sure to use the CHOWN command and theCHMOD commands afterwards. Take a look at this MacFixIt article: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html?tag=mncol;title
    If you copy your local imac users to the home directory on the server you may want to follow the steps on the URL I gave plus you will most likely also have to do the following. In a nutshell you are going to use the chmod command to strip all the ACL Permissions then you are going to use the chown command to re-specify the correct owner and the correct permissions for the network user.
    !) Go into ServerAdmin and click on Sharing
    2) Go to the users folder you are using and select the user you are going to work with.
    3) Click on the Permissions option
    4) click on the +sign at the bottom (this will open the users & groups list to the right)
    5) Drag the current user from the users list to the owner permissions line under posix section
    5a) Click Save
    6) Click on the Gear button at the bottom
    7) Check the box for Owner Name and Owner Permissions.
    8) Uncheck the box for Access Control List then click ok
    Once you've gone through that rigmarole you can go back into ServerAdmin and fix the permissions for public and Sites folder which should only take a minute or so.
    So the moral of this story and as I found out when i ended up calling Enterprise support is that the act of dragging and dropping user home directories from one server to another, or as in your case, from a local machine to a the server isn't anything that apple recommends or supports. you might want to read through the man pages for "Ditto" or so apple tells me, but honestly now that you know, the steps above aren't all that bad. It's true Knowing IS half the battle!
    have Fun!
    P.S. FWIW If you run into problems and have to call Enterprise Support be prepared for them to tell you to refer to the user Guides. So reading those would be to your advantage even though they aren't the easiest things to understand unlike apple's consumer products user guides

  • Syncing iCal on Snow Leopard MBpro with Lion machines

    I upgraded my iMac and MBAir to Lion and went on iCloud to sync calendars with my old MBpro which can only go up to Snow Leopard. The two Lion Macs sync fine, but the Snow Leopard one wont sync and in preferences it says my accounthas 'been upgraded to iCloud'. Is there anyway to make the Snow Leopard machine sync through iCloud?
    thanks
    Doug

    The official answer is that iCloud requires Lion and you can't sync your calendar with Snow Leopard.
    The unofficial answer is that a workaround has been suggested, and has worked at least for some people:
    Go to iCal preferences.
    Set up new account.
    Account Type:  CalDAV
    User Name:  Your MobileMe / iCloud email address
    Password:  Your password for above
    Server Address:  p06-caldav.icloud.com
    This page give a similar process with some more details which may or may necessary:
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20111014102515403&msg=15
    I haven't tried any of this and have no idea whether or how well it works. BACK UP YOUR CALENDARS BEFORE PROCEEDING!

  • How do I import mail from Snow Leopard to Lion Mail?

    Tried dragging ~/Library/Mail files and folders across.
    But Mail insisted on my setting up an accounr (I have several) and put everything into that one account.
    Anyone know of a foolproof doc./url or checklist, please, which explains how to get everything that was in Snow Leopard Mail into Lion Mail?
    Thanks!

    similar "solution" for how to import ical from snow leopard to lion:
    1) copy the following files (e.g. from a snow leopard backup) prior to first opening ical:
    1a) ~/Library/Keychains/ (folder "Keychains")
    1b) ~/Library/Calendars (folders "Calendars")
    1c) ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.* (ical preferences files, "com.apple.iCal.helper.plist", "com.apple.iCal.plist")
    1d) ~/Library/Preferences/iCalExternalSync.plist
    2) then open ical in lion ... import/update will follow
    if you have opened ical prior to the above steps these files (1b, 1c and 1d ) have already been created, so you have to replace them with your backups from snow leopard described above
    if you have set up calendar accounts in system preferences "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" you might have to delete them before applying the above steps
    ps:
    not quite sure if the following steps are necessary (or did help) for mail/ical import, because mobileme sync works now different in lion (no option for syncing calendars anymore within system preferences—>mobileme) ...
    i did a mobileme sync in snow leopard prior to the clean install of lion with:
    Calendars
    Mail Accounts
    Mail rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes

  • I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

    What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

    There is no Mobile Me anymore. It has been gone for several years, now. However, your existing calendar and mail will integrate with iCloud if you enable it on your system.

    You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
