OK, I now assume that SOME functions won't work. I'm trying to figure out which ones. I've read the other discussions on iCloud and Snow Leopard, but in many cases they degenerate into complaints about no 10.6 support from iCloud.
What would be helpful here for me--and hopefully for others as well--would be to generate a list of iCloud features that do/do not seem to work if one is running Snow Leopard. I myself am not yet able to try this, but am considering purchasing an iOS5 device and am hoping to find out what will or won't work between that device and a computer limited to OS 10.6. So if you DO have that kind of set up, your input would be especially appreciated.
Here are some of the issues I'm especially interested in, though list is not exhaustive:
1) Does photostream work on mac assuming one upgrades to iPhoto 9.2?
2) Does wireless syncing/backing up of iOS 5 devices work assuming one upgrades to iTunes 10.5?
3) Are there limits on any of the web features available at icloud.com once an icloud account has been created from the iOS5 device?
4) Can apps, music and books still be accessed from a 'Purchased' menu across devices, regardless of the device used to buy them? And if yes, can 'automatic download' be enabled so that content purchased on one device will automatically download on the others?
5) Can one's iCloud account be accessed in Snow Leopard's versions of Mail, iCal and Address Book? (I'm assuming that no, without OS 10.7 one's iCloud account will only be accessible through the iCloud.com webpage and not within the applications themselves).
6) Will iTunes Match be able to use/sync a library on a computer running Snow Leopard?
Thanks!
