Reminders: Apple Earnings Call is scheduled for today, April 24th, 2012.

Apple is set to announce its Fiscal Year 2012 Second Quarter Results today (April 24th, 2012) at 2:00 p.m. PDT/5:00 p.m. EDT.

In the last 7 days, Apple shares have been taking a beating and closed at 571.70 on Monday April 23rd, 2012. Apple shares reached as high as 644 in the beginning of April 2012.

Editor’s note:
There are those who bet against Apple because of their personal dislikes of the company. Apple shares rapidly gaining in early April faster than anyone expected, including yours truly. Unfortunately the professional financial analysts are mostly wrong.

p.s. 37prime staff and contributors do not own a single AAPL share, individually or collectively.

Snow Leopard has arrived so I can move to iCloud.

I received a copy of Snow Leopard in the mail so that I can move my MobileMe account to iCloud. A Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD and a thick multi-language Software License Agreement booklet are packed in a brown padded envelope.

I personally will move my MobileMe account at the last moment possible because I still have some Macs that will never be able to run OS X Lion ever. Namely the PowerPC based Macs. In the meantime, I have been using a different iCloud account since Summer 2011.

Apple is committed to keep MobileMe service until June 30th, 2012.

Get your 25 GB of SkyDrive storage.

SkyDrive originally gave 25 GB of free storage. Microsoft is changing all that, unless you claim that 25 GB of free storage. The new SkyDrive gives 7 GB of free storage. Existing SkyDrive users can keep the 25 GB of free storage by opting in; simply login to your SkyDrive account.

Recording using GarageBand on iPad.

One of the coolest feature of GarageBand is the ability to do multi-track recording. For quiete some times, I had been meaning to record a few song ideas and finally I did it today. This time I’m using GarageBand on iPad.

I am working on the arrangement of the song, For Now.

Snow Leopard is on its way.

I have not moved my MobileMe account to iCloud yet for many reasons. Anyway, Apple offered me a free copy of Snow Leopard so I can upgrade to Lion. I already have OS X Lion on one of my Macs, but that’s beside the point. Let’s say I’m doing this for science.

Apple is mailing a copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard to me and sent me the following email:

1. Get your free DVD of Snow Leopard
After you install Snow Leopard on your Mac, run Software Update from the Apple Menu to get Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with the Mac App Store.

2. Next, upgrade to Lion
Open the Mac App Store from the Dock and purchase Lion for $29.99.* The installer will download to the Dock and automatically launch.

3. You’re ready to move to iCloud
Your Mac is now ready for iCloud. Visit me.com/move from a Mac or PC to make the move to iCloud.
