All versions of Mac OS X that were made to run on PowerPC systems (with the exception of Leopard) had a Mac OS 9 emulation layer called 'Classic'. It allowed Mac OS X to run Mac OS 9 applications that weren't updated to run natively on OS X (known as carbonization based on the Carbon API). Finally we are ready for Early Access to introduce a new way of flying on your personal computer when you can't fly outside due to bad weather or just want to fly for a quick break. As of right now, we are looking at 3 starter maps with up to 10 tracks per map that you can actively fly on.

You can use My Photo Stream with these devices after you set up iCloud on them:

  • iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
  • Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later and the Photos app
  • Apple TV HD, or Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation) with tvOS 5.0 or later
  • PC with Windows 7 and iCloud for Windows

If you recently created your Apple ID, My Photo Stream might not be available. If My Photo Stream isn't available, use iCloud Photos to keep your photos and videos in iCloud.

How My Photo Stream works with iCloud Photos

My Photo Stream uploads your most recent photos (except Live Photos) so that you can view and import them to all of your devices. Photos are stored in My Photo Stream for 30 days. iCloud Photos uploads all of your photos and videos to iCloud and keeps them up to date across your devices.

If you turn on both My Photo Stream and iCloud Photos on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, photos that you take with that device upload to both iCloud Photos and My Photo Stream.

If you use another device with the same Apple ID that has only My Photo Stream turned on, photos that you take on that device upload only to My Photo Stream. They don't appear on any devices that have only iCloud Photos enabled.

i bought a used 2 year old macbook pro last week did an erase and install with leopard and once that was done with nothing transfered firewire the drive had over 20 gigs of used space on it so i started snooping around and saw a number of folders in a folder labeled base system that have a solid red circle with a white dash in the middle next to them after clicking on them it says i do not have permission even though i am in under admin?

the fact that you are an admin doesn't mean that you automatically have access to everything. those folders are owned by the system and have restricted permissions. you should not mess with them. those permissions are mostly restricted to prevent curious users with itchy fingers from damaging the system. as an admin user you can change those permissions and give yourself access to those folders but as i said you shouldn't.
any ideas to what it is what to do or why it took over 20 gigs to install?
20 Gigs sounds like a bit too much. have you installed any programs besides leopard itself?
