I am learning the hard way and would appreciate the best way of using iCloud on my Imac.
I am running Snow Leopard and Windows XP in a fusion virtual machine. I tried to instal Lion, for which I had a free code, in a virtual machine but found that was not possible. I installed Lion on an external drive but I need iPhotos to update iCloud and believed I would get it for free when accepting iLife bundled apps. However it does not show up in the Accept portion of the screen. Is this because I am running Lion on an external drive?
I am reluctant to update Snow Leopard to Lion as i have many old programs that will not run on Lion.
1.Is there any way of getting Lion to run in a virtual machine with Snow Leopard as the operating system.
2. How can I get my "bundled" iLife download on to Lion on the external drive.
3. No sound or camera on Lion on the external drive.

Help appreciated
