Synching iPhone 5 and MacBook with Snow Lepoard

How do I synch my email, contacts, calendar on my mac iPone 5, with my MacBook that will only run Snow Lepoard, using the cloud? Ths is frustrating that Apple did a big change between Snow Lepoard and Mountian Lion. I.can't afford to upgrade my computer to get Mountial Lion.
I use both iPhone and MacBook for business and I can't synch the two together on the cloud.

You can get your iCloud email by just adding your account to your Mac using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864. But without OS X Lion or Mountain Lion you won't be able to sync contacts and calendars using iCloud. If you want to sync these with your Mac you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud, turn contacts and calendars to off, choosing Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sync these with your Mac using iTunes by selecting to do so on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

Sync mail on iPhone and MacBook with Shaw internet

Shaw provides my internet connection and I can't sync the mail function on my iPhone and MacBook using their pop server. All of the incoming messages are delivered to both the iPhone and MacBook, but if I delete or file an email on one device, I would like it to do the same on the other as well. Does anyone know of a work around for this? The Shaw support site doesn't help and the Apple phone support didn't know hoiw to resolve this either.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked with Shaw here in Victoria, BC. They don't have an IMAP service and their Exchange server only works on mobile devices. They are working on upgrades to their Exchange server but their customer support guy indicated that it could be several months before they are completed. So anybody in Western Canada that gets their internet from Shaw is out of luck for a while. The only solution for now is that you have to delete on both devices and any filing you do won't sync either.

Synching iPhone and iPad with new iMac - former pc user

I'm trying to determine to most efficient way to set up iTunes and synching of my iPhone 4 and iPad on my new iMac. I am finally moving away from using a pc and am facing the issue of trying to preserve all the content on my devices as I set up the iMac. I'm ditching the old oc iTunes library. The iMac will br the primary (and only) iTunes library going forward.
I realize I'll need to manually transfer mp3 files from the pc to the iMac (those ripped from CDs and not purchased on iTunes) and re-establish the library. But how do I avoid losing all the aps and music I purchased on my old pc as I set up the iMac iTunes?
I'm also interested in saving the contacts I've built on my iPhone - using that as the basis for my iMac contacts.
I have no intention of using the pc again -- fully realize you cannot synch to two iTunes libraries.
Any suggestions on how to begin to minimize hassle and minimize any file loss is much appreciated!

Should try by copying the itunes folder from your pc to your iMac. That should work.

I want to sync my iphone, ipad, and macbook with the same username and password, is this possible

i want to sync my ipad, iphone, and macbook with the same username and password. is this possible and if so, how do i do it?

You mean with the same iCloud account?
If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

Hello, lustige luka.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Personal Hotspot feature using USB should be as simple as connecting the device to your Mac via the USB cable when Hotspot is enabled. Here is some more information regarding this feature and an article that will provide some troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing an issue.

10.7.5 is not Snow Leopard so we have to wait and see, the answers to the question I asked will define what it really is.

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard.

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.
I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

Dear Nathan,
Many thanks. To the best of my memory, that is how I got where I am today. Initially I had one failed setup, then discovered compatibility mode and ran using it. The result was not an obvious failure, but something was not there because not only were some drivers missing (wi-fi, trackpad, ...) but (much to my disappointment) the 3.1 update would not run. It complained that 3.0 wasn't there. If I hardwired to my home network, the machine would do almost everything I wanted, but the graphics were slow and clumsy. That is when I hunted around for the NVidia driver and downloaded it from NVidia. And that is where I stand now.
My son found this link http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/01/15/using-boot-camp-to-install-windows-7-on-you r-mac-the-complete-walkthrough/
which has instructions claiming to do the install straight to Win 7 without using compatibility mode.
Given that my clumsy efforts to patch things up have probably necessitated a Win 7 deinstall and reinstall to test either your plan or the one my son found, I am inclined to sit tight for a couple of days to see how much I can learn.
I appreciate your interest in this problem, and if you are up for reading the process at the link my son found and commenting, I would be grateful.
In any case, many thanks, Paul

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

I have an older 13" macbook with snow leopard, I want to upgrade to the newest mountain lion, can i just purchase and instal?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, 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.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 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 Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         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.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

ICloud does not sync with iPhone and MacBook for iCal and address book.

I have installed the upgraded software to both devices. Email syncs fine.

Thanks for the visual! on my iPhone under Accounts it has my email like your line 2 above with the secondary line 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars and 7 more...'. In the Setings menu under General I have iCloud that has all the buttons turned on for Mail Contacts, Calendars. On my MacBook in System Preferences for Internet and Wireless, Mail, Contacts and Calendars is the iCloud account. There is also iCloud in the same folder as the blue @ sign.
I should explain that I had two mobileme accounts on these devices before switching to iCloud. The first email was a 'family' email noend_er and it was the initial email that I set up iTunes with many years ago then a couple of years ago I set up my own email account with my iPhone and MacBook. I have an Apple guru friend who helped me create my own iTunes on my MacBook and iPhone using my own email account. We cleaned up, to the best, of our knowledge the inconsistency with the two accounts.

Sync notes with iMac, iPhone, and MacBook

My calendar and contacts are in sync for my iMac, iPhone, and MacBook. I can not figure out how to sync my notes on these machines. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Help with iCloud on iPhone and macbook

I have iCloud on my iPhone and MacBook, but I have duplicate calendars. I have a couple calendars under "On my Mac" and some of the exact same calendars under "iCloud." Can I just delete the calendars under the "On my Mac" heading, and exclusively use the iCloud calendars? I don’t want to delete anything important, but I want to de-clutter my computer.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you should just be able to delete the on my mac calendars without affecting the iCloud calendars.
Might be wise to export them to your desktop as back ups and leave them for a day or so to make sure everything is all ok and there wasn't actually appointments in them you might have wanted.
