What software version is needed to use icloud on imac?

I want to use icloud to share info between my imac and the new ipad. I know I need to update my software...I currently have MacOSX 10.5.8 so I'm wondering what version I need to update to in order to use icloud on my imac. I can't update to Mountain Lion directly, if at all, but I know there must be a version in between that will support icloud.

Glad you are asking before jumping. Too many "OMG! Nothing works anymore!" threads.
Start by looking at applications that do not work under Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Make a very good clone of your internal drive (CarbonCopyClone, $40 download) on an external drive.
Got to macsales.com or crucial.com to max the RAM (does not hurt to even for SL). macsales and ifixit.com have instructions to change RAM.
You can always load Lion on an external drive and see how it works (not speed, obviously, as external drives are slower) as far as compatibility with your current software and how much adaptation is required to get fully up to speed with it.

How can I use my Iiyama monitor with a macbook air? what driver do I need?

You shouldn't need any additional software, only a mini-DisplayPort (or Micro-DVI, if you have the first generation of MBA) to VGA adapter and appropriate VGA cable.

What software do I need to use an HP monitor with Mac comuter?

Hp monitor connected to Mac computer gives very poor display. Does it need special software/driver?

Ken, welcome to the forum.
You should have received a disc with the monitor. On the disc there should be the driver for the Mac. If not, check here for the driver. Enter the model number of the monitor in the box where it asks for it.

I have a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30). I want to use and utilize iCloud. What software do I need to get inorder to do so?
Thanks!

You need to install OS X Lion 10.7.2 to access iCloud on your mac. First you would need to purchase a Snow Leopard retail disc ($29 USD), then run software update to get to 10.6.6 (10.6.8 preferred) to access the app store to download lion ($29 USD), or if you have a slow internet connection, you can purchase Lion on a USB drive for $69 USD. Make sure your mac meets this minimum requirements in order to run each of these versions of OS X

What Software do I need???

Hi folks,
I'm new to BO so to start from scratch I'm trying to figure out what desktop Software I have to put on my workstation to unleash the full power of BO, work with our BO server and get the SAP Best Practice for BI up and running. I downloaded the following stuff from service.sap.com:
- Xcelsius 2008
- Crystal Reports 2008
- BO XI 3.1 Edge
I kind figured these would be the most recent releases.
I first installed Xcelsius, then Crystal Reports. When installing BO XI 3.1 it gave me an error that it can't be installed with Crystal Reports already there. So I uninstalled Crystal Reports 2008 and installed BO XI 3.1 . The SAP Best Practice BI scenario comes with a lot of .rpt files which are Crystal Report Project files as of my knowledge. But I can't install Crystal Reports anymore. I guess because of BO XI 3.1
So I wonder what software I actually need. I haven't found any source that clearly states what applications to install for what reason and in what version. It would be really great if someone could bring some light into this!

Hi Robert,
You can install a Virtual station software like VMWare and stuff like that.
After installing VMWare please allocate some space for this and then install the OS with that then you can install the Crystal reports.
Where you can use the Crystal reports and BO at the same machine.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Ravi Kanth

What software do I need to manage my itunes on my HP laptop

What software do I need on my HP laptop to be able to go into itunes and manage my phone, as far as pictures, and calendar, and such?

To start off with, you will need to download iTunes. Make sure that you download the correct version, Windows, and if you have 32-bit or 64-bit. Pictures taken with the iPhone are imported to the computer via Scanner and Camera Wizard in Windows, or can also be copied via Windows Explorer in Computer. Photos are then synced to the computer via iTunes by selecting a folder on the computer that contains photos and they are copied to the computer.
Calendar has to be handled by a supported application. That can be Outlook 2003 or 2007. Other choices include using Google calendar, MobileMe,etc. The latter allow for OTA syncing of calendar. Contacts require a supported application as well, those include Outlook 2003 or 2007, or Windows Address book in Vista, or Windows Mail in Windows 7. You also have the option as above for Google or MobileMe.
Information about what you might want to use is found on the Apple website and descibes the supported applications.

What software do I need to run executables files

Hi
I have application where I acquire data from sensors using stain gauge and thermocouple modules with 6225M DAQ card. Also I am writing some data that i get from a joy stick to a serial port in the same application. In order to run executable file of this application what software do I need? I installed labview runtime engine in the target machine but it didn't run my program. Do I need to install any drivers for the DAQ card? i am using labview 8.6.

Of course you need to install the DAQmx driver. If you have LabVIEW 8.x, when you create the installer, you have the option to install different versions of the driver ranging from a full install to a minimal one. If you have tasks saved in MAX, you would want to install MAX and export your current config. Then select to have the installer import the config on the pc with the exe.

Can I recover notes I accidentally erased from my iPhone? I have the newest software and updates and I use iCloud.

Can I recover notes I accidentally erased from my iPhone? I have the newest software and updates and I use iCloud.

Is your carrier still AT&T? What error message do you get when you try to activate it?
Have you tried a new SIM? Was the phone jailbroken? Was the computer you used to update it ever used to jailbreak a phone? In general, this problem is caused by one of the following:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

What software do I get to use PC software?

Hi,
I've just received an Intel based desktop Pro Mac. I understand that it can run PC software. How? What do I need to make this happen - what software do I need to install, etc.? I have computer and no directions. As this forum poses problems with this, you are all further along with this that I am! Where do I start? And when I finally do get started, I wonder...Is my Mac likely now to get viruses normally associated with a PC?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hey, I've had a helluva time doing bootcamp on several different intel macs from several different generations. So, having used parallels, having owned two licenses for it... having built myself a PC, even though I'm a machead, here's my recommendation: VMWare Fusion. I think it's the most elegant, and the best use of your time. Retail it costs 80 dollars for Version 3.0.1. But, there are discounts all over the place, including just buying from Amazon. No matter how good apple makes Safari, or any of it's components, the closest you're going to get without the actual headache of owning a PC is VMWare Fusion. You're obviously not a Computer Technician. So, until Apple makes BOOTCAMP as easy to install as VMWare, there's no point in a consumer like you messing with it unless you're preapared to risk, hours, and hours, of headache, annoyance, frustration, rebooting, just to end up with a machine in "DUAL-BOOT" mode. Seriously, consider VMWare Fusion. You will still need a copy of whatever windows OS you want to run, BootCamp doesn't come with windows, just allows you to install it. Same with Parallels, and VMWare Fusion. Both of which allow you to have a space on your Drive dedicated to the "Virtual Machine" that will run in a little window like any of your other programs, or can be run in full-screen mode.
To Answer the second part of your question: it is very similar to owning a PC, yes. You DO have to worry about MANY of the normal SW and HW issues of a PC (including viruses) UNLESS the program you're using (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or any of a couple 'free' software that operates the same way, which I wouldn't recommend for the non-technically inclined, at this point in their development) has been specifically programmed to take care of something and make it easier, or sometimes more difficult, etc. So I'd only bother using your windows for websites that refuse to work on the mac, even though there are various ways to fool many websites, some websites it's just about impossible to fool, because of their design by the developers (they specifically won't even ALLOW you to run the website on a mac, intentionally!). But for running programs, and surfing when you reallly need to, I'd use VMWare, and just download a free anti-virus (Avira is good, so is AVG, in my experience, or g-data is good if you want to pay). So it's like running PC-Lite basically, a lot more elegant, and about 95% of the features.
I'd also recommend Hotspotshield, for mac, to use whenever you browse with your PC VIrtual machine Lastly, I don't know of any viruses that are sophisticated enough to compromise the rest of your Mac while you're running a virtual machine, though I suppose it is possible that one could replicate to a shared folder, but that's about it, and that's not a "high threat" problem, it couldn't really cause 'damage' in other words, that wouldn't be easily recoverable.
Besides, reinstalling with VMWare, should something destroy your install, is really easy and takes a matter of minutes (like 30-40) from removal to up and running again.
lastly, here's the link to VMWare [url=http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion>>>here<<[/url], which DOES SUPPORT WINDOWS 7 IN BOTH 32 AND 64 BIT MODES! Bootcamp does NOT.
And, @the_hatter, that's not really the most helpful answer, for all of the above reasons.

What software do I need to purchase/subscribe?

I'm planning to do the $143.88 subscription for PLUS on FormsCentral. I will be creating probably no more than 15 forms per year. I will need to create forms, maintain them, do reports and gather data on membership information, registration of events/conferences and simple surveys. What software do I need to purchasein addition to my yearly subscription on FormsCentral? Adobe Acrobat X? Adobe FormsCentral? I'm not getting a clear picture on what is necessary as I read through the site. I may need to have access to maintain the forms on both my laptop and my desktop.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike;
You don't need anything in addition to the subscription to FormsCentral. If you want to distribute your forms as PDF as well as (or instead of) on the web you might want Adobe Acrobat XI so you can further edit the PDFs, but that is not necessary and is really up to your needs.
If you were to consider Acrobat you should look at this subscription "Acrobat Plus" which gives you Adobe Acrobat XI on a subscription basis plus some great online services including FormsCentral: https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
When you use FormsCentral in a web browser you can access it from any computer or laptop and have access to all the same data, one of the great things about a SAAS (software as a service). The one exception to that is in the Acrobat Plus subscription you get the desktop application of Acrobat to install which would only work on two computers, the included services would be available from any computer.
Thanks,
Josh

How can I determine what software version I have in my Apple TV module?

My Apple TV usually hangs up when I am watching a movie on Netflix whether its one foot from my internet hub or in the next room. When I stream using an HDMI cable connected directly to my computer (which is hardwired to the hub) there is no problem. Could it be an outdated software version in the Apple TV module? How does one tell what software version he has and then how do I update it if required?
Any help is appreciated.

What Software Do I need to add Chapter Markers

I've got a 55 min QuickTime movie file that I'd like to simply add Chapter Makers as well as setup a Chapter Menu selection at that beginning.
Also, I'd like to be able to render this file to a format that will playback on any DVD player.
To be able to edit/sweeten the audio and/or video is not a priority....I'd just need to add chapters so to divide up this one-long-movie into...well...chapters.
What software do I need that will do this?
Thanks.
Mac 17" MacBook Pro
Mac OSX 10.4.10
Processor: 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
Memory: 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

You can add chapter markers using Quicktime Pro if you don't need to edit the movie.
You can find detailed instructions in the Apple document Chapter Tracks.
These instructions teach how to add a chapter track, containing your chapter titles and timecodes, to an existing quicktime movie without using iMovie or FCE or other editing software. No codec, compression, or conversion is applied to your video and audio, which are left alone. Only a new text track with adequate formatting is added.
A few additional notes:
- you need Quicktime Pro (30$)
- you must correct a couple of points in the Apple instructions:
a. in step 3. you have first to +enable the text track+ in the Property Window of the movie, and then you can use the Text to Text option in the Export Menu (otherwise no Text to Text option is made available).
b. step 10 must be corrected as follow: +"Open Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, choose the *Video Track* ( not: new text track). Choose Other Settings then choose your Text track in the Chapters popup"+
