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?

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?

I need to upgrade to one of the Lion ones to use iCloud. How do I do this? I believe when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I just got a disc.

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

I am currently running version 10.7.4 from what I read and what I was able to make out from my serial number I wont be able to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion as it says my imac is a late 2006 model.I am just curious if I am able to run Lion why Apple isnt supporting the older models that can? Seems odd to me and it is not in my budget to buy a new mac and my current one is running perfectly. I'm not sure how much I will miss out not having Mountain Lion.

Do you have to upgrade to lion 10.7 before upgrading to mountain lion? I have snow leopard 10.6 on my imac

I have a 2009 imac running intel core duo 2.66ghz processor, 4gb ram and 256mb graphics. It currently runs os x 10.5.8 and I wish to upgrade it to the latest operating system (lion?) I recently purchased a macbook pro 3 inch running lion. A friend told me I'd be able to upgrade my imac too as 'apple doesn't charge people twice.'
1) Is this true? and if so, how do I obtain the free upgrade?
2) should I wait until mountain lion is available?
3) Is the computer going to be capable of running the latest OS or will it need a ram upgrade?
Since the upgrade of Lion 10.7.2 to 10.7.3, I can't connect to the internet any more by Ethernet, but only by WiFi ...

I bought my Mid-2011 iMac a few weeks before Lion came out...so I was eligible for a free upgrade. Now, unfortunately, I am having problems with my iMac so I want to reinstall the OS. However, I only have the Snow Leopard disc to reinstall. Can I still upgrade to Lion for free? Would it be in my App Store as I already upgraded so I can just re-upgrade?

I am having issues when watching video's on my mac, which seemed to happen after upgrading to OS Lion.
When watching video's horizontal lines float up the screen, it tends to happen when the camera changes or something moves. The line almost disjoints the picture slightly as it floats to the top of the screen. This is obviously very distracting! Â

Ive recently upgraded my Imac to Snow Leopard and then to Lion. The mac seems to take a long time to boot up now and starting any application is not as rapid as before the upgrades.Also, browsing the net thru Safari is painfully slow.. (alsp very very slow in Firefox) I've alredy done a disk utility verify and repair and the Mac HD repaired OK.. Ive since re-booted and still have all the same issues?
