[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 1367060, member: 12177"] It is kind of ridiculous that Apple is willing to support even Windows Vista but not OS X Snow Leopard. Oh well, you can still use the web interface. Mid 2007 should be able to install Lion, since it has a Core 2 Duo. I would advise installing an additional GB of RAM if you really want to install Lion, though. Running Lion on 2GB is like running Vista on 512MB. Technically possible, but not at all recommended. Even if you don't use iCloud to sync, iOS 5 introduced syncing over WiFi so you at least don't have to plug in a USB cable anymore. The icloud.com web interface also provides basic control over several iCloud items, assuming you've already set up iCloud on your iOS device. Finally, if your primary use for iCloud is going to be syncing music and apps you buy on the iTunes store, you don't actually need Lion to do that: iCloud on the phone and iPad automatically detect what you've bought through your AppleID on the computer's iTunes and vice-versa. Just make sure you activate iCloud on your iPad or phone first and make sure that AppleID is the one you have assigned to the other iOS device as well as iTunes on your Mac. EDIT: Forgot Apple lied about the maximum installable RAM for the mid 2007 MacBooks. [/QUOTE]
