iLife - All things, iPod, iMac, iPhone, iTunes

girl_dee · 11-01-2011, 03:26 PM

Ok I got my Macbook Pro 2 years ago, since then Snow Leopard and Lion have come out and since I love my laptop as it is, I haven;t upgraded.

Now I have an iphone and saw the iCloud app and all that glory. Is it worth it for me to upgrade all of this to get iCloud? Does anyone have this and love it?

I used the iCloud for bit on my iPhone 4 but found it was draining my battery like nothing else. That said, I would recommend at least upgrading to Snow Leopard. The security fixes and performance fixes would be enough, IMO, to do that upgrade at the least.

As for Lion, I've heard it has had repeated reports of issues and to wait until the first major update/fix for it.

I was so hoping you would chime in, thank you. I love everything about my Mac of course and very happy with my iphone so I am not going to futz with it. This is why I don't care about having the latest and the newest because the bugs always come with that.

I've upgraded to IOS 5 but am not using iCloud. It only provides a limited amount of storage unless you pay.

I'm on Snow Leopard but considering Lion as it's not very expensive to upgrade - although also in consideration is how much I would use the 'extra features'.

I just did the upgrade to Lion last week in prep for the phone so the OS's could chat with each other. Something not highly publicized is that if you want it (the phone) to play nice with iPhoto that has to be upgraded also, not very expensive either, but a consideration.

For cloud storage I spread things around a bit not wanting all of my eggs in one basket. A combination of Dropbox, Evernote, Google docs, and now iCloud, seems to cover my needs without going out of pocket.

And yes, my phone is much smarter than I am.

Well, for this mornings time changeover my mac rolled back an hour as it should, but the phone went back two hours.

I want Siri. It's true.
I also want the Kindle Fire.
I am a geek and proud of it.

I was eligible for an upgrade and so I caved and got the 4s. Siri is loads of fun! We asked her where to burry a dead body and she came up with three nearby cemetaries. We also asked her how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. (omg) she replied with, "why do people keep asking me that?" lol.

It comes with iCloud already installed, which was super useful, but the battery only lasts for about 26 hours and that's without any apps open. Otherwise I am loving it!!
