iCloud Compatibility With Older MacBook Pro With Core Duo Processor

Is my older MacBook Pro with the Intel core duo processor compatible with iCloud? This machine cannot run OS 10.7 Lion because it doesn't have the core 2 duo processor. I'm running Snow Leopard. My problem is I already upgraded my MobileMe account to iCloud on my iMac desktop (running Lion) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 5). All my data is now in the cloud and I'm unable to sync to the MacBook Pro. I think I know the answer... and it's not good.

Go to iCal preferences.




Set up new account.




Account Type: CalDAV




User Name: Your MobileMe / iCloud email address

There is a convoluted hack for syncing contacts which has been reported as working by some and not by others. I've not tried it; it sounds highly flaky to me but if you want to give it a go please see:

This is exactly what I needed...all the other forums with solutions to this issue for oler Mac systems do not give t he correct sever > pXX-caldav.icloud.com <. Thank you for your insight and response to this problem.Two years later and you post is still relvant. 🙂


Note: Everyone's pXX number is diferent. I use the one you provide and it worked but I searched for my own pXX and it was different, which I am now using. Works perfectly.
