How to use the cloud with an old Imac that will not support lion?
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
If i cant upgrade to Lion how can i effectively use i cloud?

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?

I resent that Appple forces us to pay for and download Lion in order to switch to iCloud, a system that has many users furious. After downloading Lion, my personal cd archives from iTunes vanished, and several of my friends, on switching to iCloud, lost their mail contacts. YES - they followed the complicated instructions from Apple as to how to save everything, but so much fell apart. I had a chat with an Apple person and even she was mystified. I was going to buy an iPad but now I won't as just having an iMac is enough with so much difficult stuff going on.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOne of an ongoing series of issues moving to Lion (whatta workout!). This one involves Mail and iCloud. Porting my MobilMe to iCloud has been problematic - I' ve been asked to do it three or four times, with each time being succesful when viewing through Safari. But now I've realized that the iCloud mail is not being picked up by Mail on my iMac (2009). I go to System Preferences to see if I can do something about it, but iCloud isn't there - just MobileMe.
So I click on MobileMe and (again) it asks me to move everything to iCloud. I do this and some error is generated (can't get it to replicate & don't recall what it was), and I can't sign in - it doesn't recognize my login, although I'm still currently in iCloud via Safari - clear as mud? Yikes. Bottom line: Mail can't get at iCloud mail to download, and sign-in seems broken. In 25 years on a Mac, I've never come across this level of Windows-like challenges.

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.

I have MobileMe installed on my iMac 27. When I try to switch over to iCloud I get an iCloud window that that has a button that says "Move to iCloud". When I select the button I'm asked to reenter my passward as though I attempting to use the "Find My iPhone" application. At the bottom of that window I get a button that says "Open icloud.com". When I select that button I'm asked to enter by iCloud ID and password. I enter that information and it puts me in to the "Find My IPhone" application. When I use the the back arrow I get to a window that has Mail, Contact, Calendar, and Find My iPhone icons. It appears that everything is setup, but when I exit I have to go through the same process everytime as though it didn't move anything to to the Cloud. When I select iPhoto and Apperture to turn on PhotoStreaming the system tells me I have to log in to iCloud in system preferences to do this. I see no way to turn on PhotoStreaming on my iMac.

If the mail application is close, iCloud mail goes offline, although my other email accounts in the mail app do NOT go offline. When I open the mail app, there is a symbol next to the iCloud account (but not next to the others) that looks like a circle with a horizontal zig-zag. When I click on that symbol I get the following message: "This account (iCloud) appears to be offline due to a network problem." If I click the button in the dialogue box that says, "Take all accounts online,", then my iCloud mail comes in right away. However, all my other mail accounts already are delivered. It is not a network or connection problem.

My password for apple store is deferrented that the one for icloud.How can I get the same password for both sites.There is no clear statement in the messages. Can not sign up
The Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud account This what i get when i open Icloud from the system
When I open address book on my mac, all of my contacts are on iCloud. When I change a photo for one of my contacts and add an effect to it, the effect lasts for about three seconds and goes back to the original. I'm assuming that a sync with iCloud is occurring and the image modifications are lost since when I turn my wifi off, the effects remain. However, when I turn my wifi back on, the effects disappear and I am left with the orginal. I tried running the app in 32-bit mode with no such luck.
