Windows 7 & Vista but not Snow Leopard or iOS4. Ouch!!
I can't affort to upgrade every device in my household to meet these standards. What are my options?

I don't use it myself (because I wouldn't trust any online server with my private information), but quite a few people use dropbox - have you checked into that?
I paid $9.99 for 500 Gb iCloud storage. Now I know that my Mac does not meet minimum requirements for Yosemite. How do I get a refund?
The storage is charged monthly so the firest thing to do is to cancel it so you don't get charged next month. Please see:

I don't know whether it's likely they will actually give you a refund, but you could try contacting them at
Thanks for your fast response. I downgraded to the free 5 Gb plan. I have Mavericks on a 2008 Intel. I sure do wish I could just go back to Snow Leopard 😟
