11/8/11 7:22 pm MacMost: Syncing iCloud iPhone With Snow Leopard Mac Hi Gary, huge fan of your podcast. Here’s my question. I have just purchased the iPhone 4 but have NOT upgraded to OS X Lion because I have an older piece of financial software that I haven’t been able to find anything I like better. So my question is, if I upgrade my iPhone from mobile.me to iCloud (not even sure if I can do that without upgrading my desktop to Lion) will my phone synch my content on iCloud but still allow me to synch my content from my desktop? Any guidance you can provide me with would be appreciated.
Apple will let all users download their. Rumor: iCloud support coming in Snow Leopard. ICloud requires a computer running Mac OS X Snow. Question: I have set up iCloud Photostream on my iPhone and/or iPad to automatically upload my pictures to iCloud, but my Mac is a Core Duo Intel-Mac, which can only run MacOSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. Oct 12, 2011 Set Up iCloud in iOS & Mac. On Snow Leopard, I can’t upgrade to iCloud. If you have set up iCloud, which does not automatically download Mac.
Thank you for your time. —– Jeff Felter.
11/8/11 @ 8:05 pm You can upgrade your iPhone to iOS 5 and then sign up for iCloud there. Then you can still sync with your Mac using iTunes as before. But you will not be able to use any of the iCloud services on your Mac.
So once you upgrade your MobileMe account to iCloud you won’t have access to those contacts, calendars, and email on your Mac anymore. Well, you can do it on the iCloud web site, but not the normal way. I would suggest finding a replacement for that one piece of software and moving to Lion before you convert your MobileMe account to iCloud. 11/9/11 @ 6:07 am Thank you for your responses. Unfortunately I’m more confused than before.
To confirm, if I sign up for iCloud with my phone, my phone will synch with iCloud but my non-Tiger computer will not receive that information. If I connect my iphone to my computer, that information will synch BOTH my computer and my iPhone-correct? And once it’s on my iPhone, my content will be on iCloud-yes? What WON’T happen is that the content on my computer will NOT be synched to iCloud unless I first synch my iPhone. (Although my computer will be synched with MobileMe until July.
