Can Use ICloud With A MacBook / Can't Upgrade To Lion
May 9, 2012
My husband and I rely heavily on our shared calendars through MobileMe and I've yet to switch to iCloud because of the complications I'm sensing it will cause us.I have an old MacBook that I've read can't be upgraded to Lion because it doesn't have the necessary hardware.I use iCal mostly in my MacBook and on my iPhone when I'm on the go. My husband just uses it on his iPhone.My question is - when I am forced to switch over to iCloud, will we lose our calendars that I can use on my MacBook?Will they only be available on our iPhones or online? Am I able to have all the functionality of our current calendars (with relative ease of use and syncing from a computer) without having to get a whole new computer/upgraded hardware?
Info:
MacBook (13-inch), Mac OS X (10.6.8), Husband and I both have iPhone 4

I am reluctant to upgrade to Lion due to being quite happy with OS 10.6.8, but now am looking for extra backup and storage after 3 external hard drives dying. Question: can I access iCloud using 10.6.8. on my iMac? - don't have an ipad, as yet. Or an iPhone. What are the major changes between Lion and Snow Leopard, and how difficult would it be to get used to using it, as it sounds like it is catering for those with iPads and/or iPhones and the ways of interacting with those items.Â

My iMac is too old to upgrade to Lion, so when I switch from MobileMe to iCloud, I understand that I will no longer be able to use my desktop mail app to retrieve mail, and my calendars and contacts will no longer be in sync with my iPad and iPhone. So when I switch over to iCoud, is there any work-around for this so that I can continue to use the desktop mail app on my iMac or otherwise get mail on my desktop, and keep my mail, calendars and contacts synced between my iMac, iPad and iPhone?

Is there a way to upgrade to ICloud if I'm only using 10.5.8?? I have 2 computers - powerbook G4 (single processor), and IMac desktop (single processor). Yes, these are very old Apple computers. Apple is putting everything to ICloud, when I tried to upgrade it says the system must be running 10.7 (Lion).

Like everyone else, I am attempting to migrate from MobileMe to the Cloud. I am running 10.5 on my iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo). It appears that I need to upgrade from 10.5 (leopard) to 10.6 (snow leopard) BEFORE upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7 (lion). Will someone please confirm that the above is correct and that there is no shortcut from 10.5 directly to 10.7? If the above is correct, what is the easiest and least expensive way to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6? Do I have to purchase the physical disk from the Apple Store, or is there an easier way via on-line?Â

I purchased an icloud storage upgrade in anticipation of using it to manage my apple email across two systems - desktop and laptop. Teh desktop is snow leopard the laptop testing lion. Unfortunately the chance in how apple manages email proved a showstopper and I am NOT prepared to upgrade my desktop to lion - yet - as I have key applications that would require additional upgrades and purchases I dont want to make yet. So - how do I get the upgrade (as yet unused) cancelled and refunded. In speaking with support it seems the downgrade options only apply AFTER the annual period has elapsed.

Why do I have to upgrade to OS10.7 if I have no need to access my files from across the world, can back up by wire to my iMac and would lose all my usable PowerPC applications if I upgrade to Intel-only ones? MobileMe was a pain for me, with re-duplication of Contacts, so I discontinued using it. So I am not happy to trust iCloud!

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Yosemite. The iCloud Drive shows up in the sidebar, but I am not able to access it. It is accessible on my other MacBook Pro. Is it not possible to have the same iCloud Drive on two different computers then?
