Snow Leopard and the Cloud

Hello,
I have Lion installed on my iMac but unfortunately my Macbook is just a little too old. Still with the last system (Snow Leopard?). Question is, will I be able to take advantage of most of the features of the Cloud when it comes in September? For example, if I import photos into iPhoto on my Macbook, will they go to the Cloud and allow me to import to my iPad 2, iMac (Lion) and so on? And Address book? And Calendar?
Regards,
Tom

Just found the answer to my own question.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

    Good Morning,
    I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
    I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
    Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
    thank you.

    Have you restarted holding down the Opt key?  That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist.  Then select the SL partition for boot.  Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

  • I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

  • Snow Leopard and the Flashback Malware

    I am visiting my elderly mother and (like an idiot) responded to a prompt to update Adobe Flash last night. I have checked for the presence of DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES per C|Net's article on how to detect and remove the Flashback malware and it is not present in Mac OSX, Safari or Firefox. Can I relax? Do I still need to completely disable Flash in Preferences? She does not see well and is trained to automatically update via Software Update for Mac.
    Also, her computer is running VERY slow. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the speed?
    Thanks in advance for any help!  Happy Mother's Day!

  • MobileMe, iCloud, Snow Leopard and the Mail app

    I have a MacBook Pro with an Intel Core Duo processor and Snow Leopard. I cannot install Lion on the laptop. I have for now, and for the next coming year, no budget for a new Mac. A lot of money has been put, and will be, into the children and their studies. I cannot afford it now to buy a new Mac to have Lion and iCloud all over.
    Should I make the transition of my MobileMe account to iCloud, to use it on my iPhone 3GS an iPad [1], then that will have the consequence that I will not be able any more to use the Mail app, and all its functionality, as far as it goes about the iCloud mail. It will not be synchronised. Will it still be available through the Mail app in some way? Or do I have to use the web interface on my Mac, for mail on icloud.com? Imagine that!
    My God, first this Lion disappointment. Now this iCloud frustration. What I cannot understand, is why this is not possible for Snow Leopard? Working with the cloud, does that have so much restrictions? Or is it iCloud that makes this impossible? Or is it just plain gore catching money?
    For the first time as a long time Apple user I'm looking around now for other solutions. It was goodbye, Steve. We will miss you. But it will become: goodbye, Apple, we will not miss you.

    Add me to the very unhappy list
    We have a mix of G5 macs, G4 Poerwerbooks, first generation Macbooks and Macbook Pros. The only machines that can be upgraded to Lion would be the Macbook Pros but due to the loss of Rosetta we also can't upgrade those.
    Everything works great now with MobileMe but none of them would work if we upgraded to iClould.
    This is totally unacceptable. The older machines work just fine doing administration work and would cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace all of them with new machines and even then with the loss of Rosetta wouldn't be unable to run needed software that has never been written for Intel.

  • Installed snow leopard and the right click on my mouse no longer works. Any ideas?

    I just replaced my hard drive and installed a clean copy snow leopard with all updates. The right mouse button (normal wired mouse that came with imac) with the menu drop down is no longer working. changed secondary button in mouse settings and got the right click menu but now when I right click the file or group of files are no longer highlighted. this *****. any ideas?? Between the hassle of replacing a hard drive, mouse problems, firefox, opera, office mac and elgato tv problems and issues im fed up.

    Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse should give you controls over the mouse. If not, either Steer Mouse or USB Overdrive might give you better control.

  • Snow Leopard and the original MacBook Air?

    My original MBA has an Intel graphics chipset. Does anyone know if the upcoming release of Snow Leopard will run on it and just not take advantage of the graphics enhancements?
    (I'm pretty sure I read the footprint will be smaller than Leopard and I'm hoping to benefit from that...the 80 GB hard drive is a little tight..otherwise I'm very happy with it)
    Thanks.

    I have the original MBA version and am running SL. No problems.
    Same here, and quite snappy too.

  • Mac Mail refusing password on one computer but fine on the other - one running Snow Leopard and the other Lion but been working fine until today

    Mac Mail is fine on Lion but on the Snow Leopard computer its rejecting the password - been absolutley fine up until today?
    Any ideas?
    Steve

    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

  • Upgrade to Snow Leopard and the software says I need 5GB just to install?

    I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I only have 2 GB of memory and the software says I need 5GB just to install. Do I really need that much more memory?

    Apple recommends 2GB of RAM as an installation prerequisite for Maverick. At least half of this available memory will be consumed by Maverick while it is running. The remainder will not support very many concurrent applications, or open browser tabs, before exhausting available memory. The consequence is that your Mac will run slower than it should with Mavericks.
    You be the judge. That early 2008 MBP can only expand to 6GB. I know, had one.

  • HT2492 I am using Snow Leopard and the icon for dashboard was removed from the dock.  Does anyone knopw how to put it back?  I have searched Finder, Trash and the Applications folder but i can't find it.  It works when i press F4 so it must still be there

    I have searched Finder, Trash and the applications folder but i can't find where it is kept.  I want to put the icon for Dashboard back in the dock - how can i do this?

    The combo update may replace anything you have inadvertently deleted.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    You can reapply it over the top of any previously downloaded version.  I see that your profile says 10.6.8.
    Then software update to pick up any new security, iTunes updates.

  • Will iLife be deleted when I erase my hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and the Applications with the disks that came with the computer?

    I plan to restore my computer to factory settings to have a fresh start but i dont know if all the ilife applications will still be there (imovie, iphoto, etc). Or is the ilife applications included in the Applications Install DVD?

    Yes, they are, unless you have a machine which shipped with Mac OS X Server, in which case you wouldn't have them to begin with.

  • I want to upgrade from OSX10.4 to snow leopard and can't find how to do it online. The local store won't do it.

    I want to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 to snow leopard and the local store say to do it online and I can't find out how to.

    You will need to purchase the retail DVD for Snow Leopard (10.6) It should be available from the online Apple store.

  • Is it possible to have both Snow Leopard and Lion at same time on one machine without creating a mess?

    I currently use Snow Leopard because I like the way it preserves the operation of OS10 PPC programs.  I have both an expensive CAD program and Adobe Photoshop CS3 which are PPC programs.
    Can you launch your machine with Lion when you want to use that, and launch with Snow Leopard when you want that.  Its too bad Lion does not support PPC OS10.

    Absollutely. This is a very common practice whenever a new OS or OS update comes out. By far the best way to do what you want is to install Lion onto an external firewire 800 disk, then boot off it when you want to use Lion and boot off your iMac's internal disk when you want to use Snow Leopard. USB 2 will work, but firewire 800 will be faster.
    The second best option is to partition your iMac's boot drive, then use one partition for Snow Leopard and the other for Lion, but be sure to back up your boot drive to an external disk drive before you partition it.
    You can switch operating systems during a restart by holding down the option key.

  • Is there a way to share my Mail account and settings between two partitions, running Snow Leopard and Lion?

    I have two partitions on my internal hard drive - one is running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the other is running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Mail (5.0) is set up and runs perfectly on the Lion partition and I have not used Mail (4.5) yet on my Snow Leopard partition. I want to know if I can read, download, and save mail into the same user Library folder (probably the Lion user library) from both partitions...

    You usually set up your mail accounts on a specific e-mail client programs such as Mail in OS X and Mail on an iPad, which will access the same remote mail server to have your messages show up on each device. Mailboxes can be synced in this way between two devices.
    An alternative is to use the same remote application such as Gmail to access that service from multiple devices, so a dedicated e-mail client like Mail is not needed, but the availability of these depends on the e-mail service being used.
