“Apple may be working on a Mac OS X 10.6.9 update to extend iCloud to Snow Leopard, an error message reveals,” MacNN reports.
“After upgrading a MobileMe account to iCloud, one developer says he encountered a unique error message in Tiger’s .Mac preferences pane,” MacNN reports. “‘You will no longer be able to sync with this machine because you’ve upgraded to iCloud,’ it begins. ‘iCloud requires running Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.9 or later for Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks.'”

MacNN reports, “The latest version of Snow Leopard is in fact v10.6.8, which implies that the company is working on one final update of the OS, presumably with iCloud support as a primary goal. To date Apple has only released iCloud betas for Lion.”

Ooh, yay! I can’t wait to check out iCloud! 😀
+1… or cos… or thumbs up.. whatever works
guess I posted on the wrong thread, thought this was about iCloud and Snow Leopard .
I do hope this is true, especially if they are supporting Vista, I am running Lion on my kids MacBook, I am not ready to upgrade for my work machines, guess old habits
Screw iCloud, where’s my effin’ iDisk
So, as soon as we update Mobile Me to iCloud, we completely lose iDisk? I was hoping to keep it around for the next year. I guess I can hold off on updating to iCloud for a while; it sounds nice, but my work routine relies on iDisk and there’s nothing really compelling about the upgrade.
that’s not what I said; but you should check Apple’s statements to find out what the story is.
Thanks but no thanks, Apple. You and MS can keep your clouds.
