No iCloud on Snow Leopard? THIS IS A JOKE, APPLE!

The logic is simple: most iOS owners are Windows users. They have to support Windows to keep iOS ahead of android and other smartphone/tablet competitors. As for all the iOS owners who are Mac owners, they expect you to upgrade to Lion.

Not making iCloud available for SL is deliberate business strategy, not an oversight.

Totally disagree, it is obvious (just from this forum) that iCloud on Snow Leopard would have a large user base, why on Earth would Apple toss revenue away?

Apple is hoping to force upgrades on everyone.

It's like my original verson of AppleTV. Apple says I need to buy a new one in order to have AirPlay but I jailbroke it and AirPlay works just fine on it.

I have been a Mac user for over twenty years.

I have been her for the bad times and the good times and now

a Steveless Apple does not give a hoot about people who cannot afford to purchase

a new computer to just get nto icloud. I have a been an itoold member up until a

.me member. I have spent over twenty grand on Apple products and now that

the economy ***** and i have zero coin to upgrade i get this BS.

Apple, I am starting to belive i was a fanboy for so many years. To You Tim

may you have the courage to do to the right thing and give iCloud to non-Lion

Mac Computer people.

I am starting to think we should occupy Redmond and start giving them money.

I am p&*^@d at you Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be interesting to see how widespread that sentiment is. I don't like iCloud, I don't like Lion, and I really don't like Lion Server. The MobileMe features I used the most are gone, it looks like I will be replacing my Mac mini servers with Linux servers when it's time to retire them, and I'm going to wait and see what Windows 8 looks like next year before I make any more computer purchase decisions. I never thought I'd ever consider returning to Windows PCs again, but that's the effect Lion is having on me.

Why not stop threatening to return to Windows and do it, spending your money elsewhere may get Apples attention, threats cost nothing.

Interesting interpretation. It's merely my perspective on the current state of things, nothing more than that.

Threatening to go back to Windows is becoming more common on this forum lately, actually doing it might cause Apple to take notice, talking about it ...... maybe not.

@Csound1

Why don't you just * off, troll.

You contribute nothing, you know nothing, you understand nothing, you feel nothing, you don't have any solution, you don't have any clue, you don't get anything.

You're just here to annoy, you're sick. Get help.

You're opinion matters very little to me Eric.

Personally I agree with Eric de Vette. I find your constant Apple fanboy comments to be totally unhelpful and condescending.

After making huge progress over the last decade Apple has stumbled badly with Lion and iCloud.

Csound1, please stop trolling.

Constructive comments welcome!

Follow the instructions posted on this site and elsewhere on how to get iCloud working on Snow Leopard. Start with 'More Like This'

There is useable information in this post.

There is no way to get iCloud on Snow Leopard.

You can get its mail and sync the calender but that's it.

And with a little work you can have contacts as well, and that's all I need.
