Why is iCloud denied to Snow Leopard users? Paid for MobileMe for three years!

I'm really upset about this. Any help from Apple?

Snow Leopard doesn't appear to support features required for iCloud. You can still use iCloud.com and sync with your iOS devices.

  • Setting up icloud mail on snow leopard - what are the settings?

    I have converted my mobileme account to iCloud - but due to the hardware on my desktop must remain with Snow Leopard.  How do I set up the mail application to use my new iCloud email account.

    To properly set up iCloud mail on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (Which is not supported).  You can do the following steps to manually set  up the account. (TRIED & TESTED)  ***Please know this may not work on all Macs running 10.6.8.
    If you have moved your MobileMe account to iCloud or have a straight iCloud account here are the steps for mail  There are no work arounds for Calendars, Bookmarks, or Contacts.
    There are 15 Steps total.
    If you are adding the account from mail preferences you will need these steps.
    Remove their previous account (after making sure anything important is backed up).
    Open the Mail application (On the desktop.  Looks like a Stamp w/Eagle) up on the Mac.
    Once you are there, click on "Mail" from the top menu bar and go to "Preference".
    Then go to "Accounts".
    Let me know once you are there. Do you see your MobileMe account on the left pane?
    Click on your MobileMe / iCloud account and then the to delete it.
    Then click the ( + ) sign:
    1) In the Add Account pane, enter in the full iCloud email address and password
    2) DONOT click 'Create' or it will try to automatically set up the account. Hold down Option and the 'Create' button will switch to 'Continue'. Click Continue

  • Snow Leopard users: Turn off automatic date and time in System Preferences immediately

    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/12/apple-automatically-patches-macs-to-fix-sev ere-ntp-security-flaw/
    When exploited, the NTP flaw can cause buffer overflows that allow remote attackers to execute code on your system.
    What this means is that, if you allow date and time to be set automatically by outside servers, you risk having your computer taken over.
    This is a critical issue, it's being exploited as we speak, and Apple has not provided the update to Snow Leopard users, only to 10.8/Mountain Lion and above. I strongly doubt Apple will ever get around to issuing an update for Snow Leopard, or they would have already. Chances of that happening are close to zero

    To me 10.6.8 is still the best OS X Apple ever released and I patched my system just like the shellshock back in September. It's really easy if you have some basic shell skills and XCODE installed,
    Here is what I did, it may save you some time:
    open the terminal app
    1) Download the source code, apply the patch (I got the source code links from the ntp site)
    cd ~
    mkdir ntpd-fix
    cd ntpd-fix
    curl http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/ntp-4.2/ntp-4.2.8.tar.gz | tar zxf -
    2) Patch and compile the ntp source code
    cd ntp-4.2.8/ntpd
    curl http://bugs.ntp.org/attachment.cgi?id=1165 | patch -p1
    cd ..
    ./configure && make
    3) Open the system preferences - Date & Time - uncheck Set date and time automatically (to stop the process)
    4) Rename the old object and then replace/copy them with the new objects
    cd /usr/bin
    sudo mv sntp sntp.old
    sudo mv ntpq ntpq.old
    sudo mv ntp-keygen ntp-keygen.old
    cd /usr/sbin
    sudo mv ntpdc ntpdc.old
    sudo mv ntpdate ntpdate.old
    sudo mv ntpd ntpd.old
    cd ~/ntpd-fix/ntp-4.2.8
    sudo cp sntp/sntp /usr/bin
    sudo cp util/ntp-keygen /usr/bin
    sudo cp ntpq/ntpq /usr/bin
    sudo cp ntpdc/ntpdc /usr/sbin
    sudo cp ntpdate/ntpdate /usr/sbin
    sudo cp ntpd/ntpd /usr/sbin
    sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/sntp
    sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/ntp-keygen
    sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/ntpq
    sudo chown root:wheel /usr/sbin/ntpdc
    sudo chown root:wheel /usr/sbin/ntpdate
    sudo chown root:wheel /usr/sbin/ntpd
    5) Open the system preferences - Date & Time - uncheck Set date and time automatically (to start the process)
    6) Done.
    -- update time manually
    sudo ntpdate -u time.apple.com
    -- check ntpd version (should now be: ntpd [email protected])
    sudo ntpd --version

  • Why Can't I install Snow Leopard on an external HD

    I am currently running 10.7.1 on my MacBook Pro which I have had for a week or two lees than 12 months.
    Firstly, why I want a bootable Snow Leopard HD doesn't matter.
    Secondly, the Snow Leopard Install Disc is 10.6.3. The external HD is a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Partitioned GUID HD.
    When I inserted the SL Install Disc I received the following rebuke.
    Tried a Leopard Install disc, Same thing.
    Tried the Snow Leopard Install disc that came with the computer, Same thing.
    Consulted the local Apple expert and she brought her SL bootable HD around and it booted okay.
    I was able to get her to install a bootable copy of SL on 2 of my old HDs and they booted from her computer without problems. I don't know what model her computer was. When I connect either of the HDs using FW 800, Startup Manager admits that it exists. When I selected it as my boot disc all that happens is a hanging Apple and no sign of a gear, rotating or otherwise.
    I have tried various remedies, connecting with USB instead of FW, sacrificing one of my newer backup discs (I have 4) and cloning onto one of them, and swearing a lot.
    Everything I have tried has been a failure.
    Any suggestions? I am assuming it must be something to do with my computer because the same discs boot from my friends' computer. Of course that does not explain why her HD boots okay. The fact that the disc that came with the computer won't boot is a worrying conundrum.

    I have a Mac that originally came with 10.5, then upgraded to 10.6 with 10.6.3 retail disk then to 10.7 online.
    I was able to BOOTCAMP partition, change the BOOTCAMP partition from MSDOS to HFS+ journaled and renamed Snow Leopard.
    I was able to hold c and boot off the 10.6.3 installer disk and install 10.6.3 into the Snow Leopard Partition. The computer booted and worked fine in either OS.
    I was also even able to erase the whole drive from a Lion boot DVD...
    http://eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
    ...create 7 partitions and install Lion, Snow, Windows and Linux in four bootable partiitons with a liitle help from rEFIt firmware software.
    In all times I was able to boot off the 10.6.3 install disk, even with Lion installed. But Lion's Disk Utility had to format the entire drive to update the partition map first to update it.
    The only thing I can think of is your disk is dirty enough or has a flaw small enough that her machine doesn't catch it and yours does. Since she booted fine off the disk and you didn't, despite both having Lion right?
    You can clean and polish the bottom of the disk with a very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol.
    You can also create a new bootable OS X 10.6 installer disk following these directions, it might cure the bad spot with error checking that occurs.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Just installed snow leopard and office for mac - now my computer is running very slow.  Why?

    I've recently installed snow leopard and office for mac - now my computer is running very slowly - why?

    Which version of office did you install? If its 2008 the early version had some problems and you will want to update the office software to i think it is 12.3.0
    If it is 2011 you might want to do the same thing.

  • Sharing a Calendar from Mountain Lion server with Snow Leopard users on local network

    Hello.
    I have a new Mac Mini Server running Mountain Lion Server and I want to create a shared calender for a mix of Lion, Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard users on our local network. Does anyone have any info on how to do this? I have tried using the Server App and Calender Help within the applications, but the content isn't available. I have managed to create a Shared Calender  from the Mini's Calendar App where I've  added users and I can see a 'wireless' transmit icon to the right of the Calendar name - but I cant get any of the users' iCal or Calendar apps to recognise the Calendar on the local network. I've also created a Location in the Server App under Calendar and still can't see anything on the local network. Am I missing something really obvious?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, I hadn't explained everything fully. I don't want to open up my VPN to friends and family. I do have the router assigning the NAS a fixed IP, so that when I connect over the VPN I can use the local IP address to connect, as you have mentioned.
    What I would like is for my friends or family to connect to my server over AFP or SMB using the public IP of my network, which my router then forwards onto my server, and display the available sharepoints configured using Mountain Lion server. However, the NAS drive is not an available option this way as it has a separate IP to the server.
    As the NAS alllows guest access, I also don't want to configure the router to forward a specific port to it, as this way it will be open to the internet. I wanted to try and use my server as an authentication point, with profiles set using Mountain Lion server, and limited to file sharing services only.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • Is it possible to use the snow leopard install disk for bootcamp setup?

    I'm going to be installing a windows 7 partition through bootcamp on my macbook, but I can no longer find the two original install disks that it came with. So my question was whether or not its possible to go through the bootcamp process with the snow leopard install disk?

    Do you mean a "Retail OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for USD 29" ?
    If so, then yes. use it.
    Sounds to me like the Original Install Discs you refer to are OSX 10.5 Leopard ones, right ?
    These won't work with Windows 7 since Windows 7 requires OSX Snow Leopard DVD at minimum for the Driver Installation and BootCamp Assistant version 3.x as well, which is also only avaiable in OSX Snow Leopard.

  • Control-Shift-W activates Snow Leopard-Like exposé for all windows. Can this be disabled/changed?

    Running Mac OS X 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air, Control-Shift-W produces a Snow Leopard-like expose for all windows.
    While useful, this keyboard shortcut is wreaking havoc with my BBEdit settings. (Control-Shift-W is used to toggle "Selected text only" in the "Find" window.)
    Does anyone know a way to alter or disable this system shortcut? I haven't been able to find any information regarding this shortcut and I fear I may have altered an underlying property (using "defaults write…" at the command line) and I don't know how to revert what I (may) have done.
    Thanks in advance.

    I suspect that it's busy trying to mount a network file system of some type.
    Are there any errors in your logs that seem appropriate (viewable via Applications->Utilities->Console?)

  • Can I upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ ??

    I was wondering if I could upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ or at a lower cost than full price. I do not need to upgrade that much because 10.4.11 is so great and I hate to leave it. Paying the full price of an operating system does not make sense to me. Can I do it cheaply because I am upgrading?

    No.
    The $29 upgrade is from leopard to Snow Leopard.
