iCloud and Snow Leopard

What a crap..even Vista and Windows7 has icloud support when Snow Leopard not...someone in Apple lost his mind probably.

I dont care if Apple needs to sell new hardware to satisfy shareholders...they earn lot of money last time, it is insane to be that greedy 😟

Old technologies like G5 G4 are still in use today, it is difficult to imagine for me that something what is 5 years old is OLD and USELESS.

On Snow Leopard I dont see Itunes in the cloud capabiilties for music - only for apps and for books...what the ****?

Ical cannot connect to cloud account, fortunately BusyCal can 🙂

dropping icloud support in snow leopard is a part of bad will because it is based on open standards like webdav, cardav, caldav, imap so if not apple maybe community should take the lead and create some unofficial bug fixing and patches which is often the case in Linux community supports.

I've also been curious as to why is it Snow Leopard, which is still in huge around the world somehow isn't allowed to use iCloud, meanwhile older MS machines, using even Vista get to take advantage of this.

I had assumed it's the same old marketing ploy, where you milk your own loyal fans for every penny because you know they will pay it, but at the same time you give all the freebies to clients by your competitor so that you can try to eventually win them over.

I do hope I am wrong on that.

For all who are concerned about missing elements of iCloud (including Snow Leopard support), your best course of action is to provide feedback directly to Apple:

I managed to get calendar AND contacts syncing on SL.

It's a bit of a workaround, and you have to delete photos from contacts to get it to work without creating duplicates, but it does work and doesn't take too long. Now got iOS5, 10.6.8 and 10.7.3 all playing nice together

I'll bet you're right on that

Its ok saying provide feedback to Apple, but they do not respond and I should think couldnt really care less that iCloud has no support for Snow Leopard.

They are interested in selling new equipment.

However, I have submitted feedback to Apple on the form Rodney suggested although I cant ever imagine it will do any good.

Heres what I posted.

"

I have an iMac and Macbook running Lion, an iPhone 4 and a new iPad 2 which I use with an iCloud account which I have had for a couple of years ( used to be Mobile Me and Mac.com) I just bought a Macbook running Snow Leopard after selling my laptop running Vista because I want all my equipment to be Apple and work together.

It now seems I have just wasted over £300 because my Macbook will not connect to iCloud whereas I understand Vista, a Microsoft OS will run iCloud.

I am pretty disappointed that Apple do not seem to be supporting their own long time customers but will support its competitors customers.

When will Apple provide iCloud support for Snow Leopard? I cannot be alone, there must be hundreds of thousand of Snow Leopard users that are now left out in the cold with your decision to not support its own software.

I welcome your comments

Regards etc....

Their response after submitting the form doesnt fill me with much hope that it will ever be seen....

I just bought an IPad 4 and have a MacBookPro1,1 Intel Core Duo Mac OS X 10.6.8

it has served me for many years and are still going Strong

128 G SSD drive 2 g ram

i can connect with the USB to iTunes

but iCloud was a big mistake, they did not tell me this in the store when i told them about my MacBookPro

as i can understand the only way is to install Windows i Virtually to get icloud going.

Installed iCloud fore Windows on my office Computer and it is running like a charm

i did sync my contacts, bookmarks and pictures with the iPad this way

the only alternative when running Snow leopard to day seems to be Dropbox

it runs on all phones and platforms 2.5 G is free.

A very sad story, it should be easy for Apples ingeniers to write a application fore 32 bit Intel Core Duo and Snow leopard

and release it in a update

where there is a will there is a way.

iCloud is not my Cloud
