Iphoto for Mac Download 10.6.8

Hi !

- Bought iPhoto on the Mac App Store a few months ago
- Did a make clean install of ten.6.8 today.
- Tried to install newest iPhoto version. --> This failed, because the latest iPhoto needs at least x.vii.4

How do I go a working version of iPhoto for 10.half-dozen.8 ?

No, I don't have a backup of my application folder. (Because the Mac App Shop clearly states, that "apps tin exist re-downloaded at any time without additional costs")
No, I don't have any other Macs with an older iPhoto version.
No, updating to King of beasts is non an selection for me.

Thanks,
Michael

If your Mac shipped with Snowfall Leopard, iLife should be available on the Applications Install disc that came with the Mac. In-box discs are machine-specific and are greyness in color.

Alternatively, practise you take a friend with a Mac with Lion that you could log into the App Shop under your account, download iPhoto, and copy it over to your Snow Leopard Mac? I presume that would work, since you'd be downloading information technology in your name and transferring it, kind of like how transferring purchases used to work in iTunes.

Promise that helps! Good luck!

My Mac Pro shipped with Tiger.

Fifty-fifty if I could get my easily on the new version of iPhoto (v9.3): It would not piece of work with 10.6.eight. The system requirements clearly state that it needs 10.seven.4.

The old version (v9.2.3) that worked on Snowfall Leopard, is not available anymore and the Mac App Store Support is not able (or willing) to provide me with that particular version.

Wow, I'one thousand stumped. After reviewing Apple'southward site, it seems you are right. I'm kind of surprised that Apple won't give you the version compatible with your arrangement. It gets really frustrating especially since Apple will release updates cutting off compatibility with older systems (i.e., iWork '09 was initially uniform with PPC and Tiger/Leopard, simply only in the pre 9.one updates). It tin can go extremely confusing. It doesn't seem off-white that you bought it when it was uniform with Snowfall Leopard and now the only reason you can't access it is considering they decided cutting you lot off with an update. ix.2.iii was released in March of this year, less than 3 months ago, and 9.3 was but last week!

Merely so once more, Apple isn't exactly addicted of supporting "legacy" systems.

The just solution I tin can think of, which isn't a very practiced solution, is to get a retail disc of iLife 'eleven and update manually to nine.2.iii.

Sorry, wish I could help more than. :(

An alternative mode for you to get iPhoto 9.ii.3 is to download the updater. The updater is the full app simply does require a previous eligible version to exist installed. To get around this, use Pacifist to install it.

Annotation for future: ever keep a backup!

I followed upward with the Mac App Store Support.
They answered again with the aforementioned info: "Unfortunately, the version offered in the Mac App Store volition crave Panthera leo, which you volition need to redownload in order to accept the apps function properly. Your apps will but work for 10.7.4 or subsequently. Again, the Mac App Store does non offering older versions of the iLife apps." (or any other apps)
They then recommended to contact AppleCare.

I just got off the phone with the german AppleCare Heart.
In short, they we're stumped ("It's the starting time time we hear near this"), they apologized and they will send me an iLife '11 DVD for free. (I also was not charged for the "back up incident".)

(As all of you probably know: The iLife 11 DVD contains Snow Leopard-uniform versions of iPhoto and iMovie, which I can manually update to the latest Snow Leopard-compatible version past downloading the updaters from Apple tree's Back up department.)

Cheers for all your advice and I hope this info will help all other people who run into the same problem.

The lesson I take learned:
"Apps can be re-downloaded at any times without additional costs."
NOT Truthful. KEEP BACKUPS OF YOUR APPLICATION Folder !

Yay! I'm glad they were able to help y'all! I had a similar trouble when iLife '08 came out and they ship me a DVD for it (or was it a CD back then?).

I guess what the App Store said wasn't technically wrong - you tin can redownload apps, assuming you arrangement works with the latest version. That being said, though, making your ain backups ensures you lot have command over whether or non yous have access to the application. Who knows? Apple could just make iPhoto disappear at any fourth dimension (though that'due south unlikely).

dZp, thanks for the Pacifist link. I had never heard of that! That might come in handy some twenty-four hour period down the road.

Even if I could get my easily on the new version of iPhoto (v9.3): It would not piece of work with 10.half-dozen.8. The system requirements clearly country that information technology needs 10.7.four.

The sometime version (v9.2.3) that worked on Snowfall Leopard, is not bachelor anymore and the Mac App Store Support is not able (or willing) to provide me with that particular version.

Clone your hard drive.

Update it to what you want.

And then manus transfer?

Two issues with that link -
The link to that update was already provided above in mail #8.
Downloading the update is not helpful if the prerequisite of iPhoto 9.one is not already installed.

If the OP (from more than 3 years ago) has not moved on yet, and did not have a backed up installer for iLife '11, then the updater does no skillful at all.

1:The previous link did no skilful for me, it was a bad link.
2:I did not have any iphoto installed and this installed fine.
iii:I was not posting for the OP, i was posting for anyone like me who has 10.6.8 and needs ilife.

Suggestion:

Search out and download from an UN-authorized source.

Sometimes one must do, what one must exercise.

That is all...

Has anyone found a reliable source to download from?
