I decided to go the iCloud route but wish I hadn't!!! In theory it seemed like a good idea to upgrade to Lion OS from 10.6.8, but in practice I was no longer able to sync my HTC HD2 mobile with Address on my Mac Mini, the mouse worked completely the opposite way to what I was used to (very annoying!!), my Pro Tools 9 and Mbox stopped working completely!!!!!
Despite a variety of options to try and get everything working as it was before, nothing did! So I had to take the drastic step of erasing the HDD and re-installing everything!!! Which again, in theory, should have been fine but it's not!! iWeb never re-installed and despite further attempts with the "Bundled Apps" disk, I had to download a 3.04 version of just this to get a working copy!!
Next problem: iWork 08, despite several re-installation attempts, Pages, Keynote and Numbers do not work!!! They load but when you try and type anything in you get nothing!!! Yet they all worked fine when I first bought the Mac Mini and installed them!! - There's nothing wrong with the keyboard as I've used it to type this message.
And there's more.... I upgraded my mobile to the iPhone 4s (finally, after waiting a ridiculous amount of time for the stores to get them in!!!) and naturally wanted to copy across all the contacts from my iPhone to Address and so followed the instructions to set syncing up to do this in iTunes. Did it work? Did it ever!!! No, so it's looking as though I'll have to manually type them all in! What a pain!!!
So as things stand, I have no iWork 08 apps working and at this moment in time no way of syncing my contacts from my iPhone 4s into Address!!!! I certainly don't have the budget for upgrading all the software. CAN ANYONE HELP???
