What do I need to download to sync through icloud?

I am currently using 10.5.8.  What do I need to do to use icloud updates between my macbook and other apple products? 

iCloud is part of 10.7 Lion while you're running 10.5 Leopard. First you'll need to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leoprad.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can now get it for $19.99 without having to phone the store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple through the App Store. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Ive just restored to factory settings, what do i need to download?

    I have just restored my imac to its orginal settings.  (Its Version 10.5.8)  What do i need to download in order to get it back up to the current software etc.  Everything I have tried so far has been a disaster!  Thanks anyone for the help!!

    Hi, thanks for your help .... unfortunatley I cant get the app store.  To explain what happened: I had a partition on my hard drive (divid into two) I was running out of space so I restored the computer to factory sttings ... however, the hard drive still remained partitioned, so I was able to delete one half and make 'one single hard drive space.'
    So where im at now is: I cant seem to install anything, I tried downloading and installing:
    MacOSXUpd10.6.8 but it comes up saying : "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6."
    This is VERY frustrating, im not a tech whiz, so even explaining what has happened is difficult!
    What do you suggest I do?  Thanks, Jason

  • I have Iphoto 9 version 8.1.2 what do I need to download to get iCloud working again for iphoto

    I have I photo 9 version 8.1.2 what do i need to download to get icloud working on Iphoto again
    I have OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks

    What do I need to use My Photo Stream?
    To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
    For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
    Not sure what "working again" means - With iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 you have never had PhotoStream working
    But you can purchase ioPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the LNApp store - backup your iPhoto library and install

    what do you mean no ressponse? you're not going to get the disks until at least mid-november (or something) via the official win7 upgrade scheme anyway
    anyway, just go to lenovo.com and install system update 4.0 after installing win7. it should install everything for you (unless you ask it not to, obviously)

    Don't pm me for help! That's what the forum is for. Also, Google's nicer than me. Ask him.

  • What do I need to download a .exe?

    I am new to the wonderful world of macs. What do I need to download and run an executable file?

    Hi artizmart,
    Good news, you'll need absolutely nothing for this. That's because .exe files will not run on OS X. An option to consider would be to install VCP7 if you need to run Windows apps on your Mac.

  • HT5527 I have an iPhone, iPad and a Mac desk top. What do I need to do to continue my iCloud ?

    I have an iPhone, iPad and a Mac desk top. What do I need to do to continue my iCloud ?

    The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.

  • I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air.  I'm looking for an app or program where I can track time spent of specific projects each day and also document details of each project.  Is there anything available that is synced through iCloud?

    I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air.  I'm looking for a program or app that I can sync though iCloud that will allow me to us all of these devices to track time spent on projects each day along with the ability to add specific information about each project.  Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

    I recommend you consider Omnifocus.  It is a task management program which runs on the Mac, Iphone & Ipad. I use it for task management and project management.  It let's you store additional information as well.   I sync all three devices through a Mobile Me account and I can enter data on any device and it is available on all devices.  I believe you can also sync through Dropbox.  I'm not sure that you can sync through iCloud yet.  The link to their website is:  www.omnigroup.com.  There may be less expensive alternatives, but this one meets my needs and syncs very well across all devices.

  • HT4864 how do i get folders i have created on my mac to sync through iCloud onto an iPad?

    how do i get folders i have created on my mac to sync through iCloud onto an iPad?

    Are you talking about mail folders (boxes)?
    If so, you need to make sure new mailboxes are made in your iCloud account, not in the ON MY MAC section.

  • I just installed icloud and i dont understand it. me and my sister share an itunes account and if i sync through icloud does it mean that our stuff will be on each others device?

    i just installed icloud and i dont understand it. me and my sister share an itunes account and if i sync through icloud does it mean that my things will sync to her device?

    No. She needs to setup her own iTunes account and purchase her own iTunes media.

  • I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak

    I recently updated my iPod touch to sync through iCloud - now can't connect to the internet through wifi, my macbook air is working as we speak. ive tried 'forgetting this network" in settings; tried turning off and on again; and pulling my hair out! The last was equally useless and a little painful!

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Pwer off and then back on yur router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reet Network Settings

    I want to watch rojadirecta In my iPad but I don't know what application I need download to watch it

    Do a search at the App Store, there may be an app for this.  If the videos are flash and you don't find a special app that displays the video on an iPad, then there isn't a way to view the shows.  iPad does not support flash.

  • What do I need to download?

    I can't find a "plug-in" to download for my program. Can you help me find one online or tell me what I need to have? I need to download something so I am able to edit RAW images. At this point, I can only edit JPEG. I have downloaded something before on my parents desktop, but am having a harder time finding one for my laptop. My laptop is a Windows 7 and the program I am using is Adobe Lightroom 3.
    Thank you
