Iphoto8 can work with osx snow leopard

i have a old macbook air with i photo 8, i have installed osx snow leopard last week and after this i can not see my video from my iphone in the iphoto, why?
when i drag it to desk top can play.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you installed Snow Leopard did you also select the option to install Quicktime Player 7. If you don't have Quicktime Player 7 installed use the SL install disk to do a custom install and install just Quicktime Player 7. Then see if you can play the videos from iPhoto.
Actually, with iPhoto 8, the videos will open outside of iPhoto when double clicked on from inside of iPhoto.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

    can I use this disk to reformat my hard drive
    Yes.
    As well, if I do reformat - do I have to tell my Time Machine to do something special to make a backup for reformatting? Or does it automatically make a backup that I can use to reinstall everything on my newly reformatted computer?
    Restore from the Time Machine backup afterwards, either from the Utilities menu or the Migration Assistant.

  • How do i get a dvd with osx snow leopard to boot from since i lost mine?

    Having trouble with my early 2009 intel iMac. I have reset PRAM and SRC, used disk utility in safe mode to repair disk permissions (several were found/repaired) and tried to verify disk. System said it could not verify disk because it needed to be repaired while booted from another source. I could not find my OSX Snow Leopard disk, tried to start from Leopard disk. Now the system wont go through boot process at all. the gray screen with logo and progress bar appears, but after a minute the computer shuts down. I did run the apple hardware test (start up while holding D key) and no hardware issues were found. This must be a software issue.
    Is there a way I can download a copy of OSX Snow Leopard on my laptop so I can burn a disk to boot my iMac from so I can repair the disk?

    You will need the Mac OS X DVD later, because it's clear that there's a problem with the hard disk. Your Mac turns off because fsck couldn't repair the hard drive, so Mac OS X can't start up. Your only option is to format the hard drive, because it's not possible to repair it.
    As you have the Leopard DVD, insert it and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, choose your language and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility, choose your hard drive at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the drive. If it's working properly, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    If it couldn't be erased, the hard drive is damaged and you need a different one

  • I took Lion off my Macbook Pro and put Snow Leopard back on and now I can't access Mail or iPhoto. How do I get Mail and iPhoto to work with the Snow Leopard I just put back on?

    Hi. I was having slowness problems with my Macbook Pro and thought I would re-install Lion but put Snow Leopard back on by mistake. I bought the computer used with Lion on it and don't have access to the USB drive or a username/password to reinstall Lion. Now I can't access Mail or iPhoto since I put Snow Leopard on.
    Is there a way to get my Mail and iPhoto working again with Snow Leopard or do I have to "re-upgrade" to Lion?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    You can't. When you converted those libraries to Lion's format, you lost the ability to go backwards. Unless you saved a bootable backup./clone or Time Machine backup of your previous SL installation, you're up the proverbial creek w/o a paddle.

  • What hard drives are compatible with OSX Snow Leopard Boot Camp?

    Recently when the video card in my desktop Mac died, I decided to make some upgrades, one of them being the hard drive. After doing some research, I fixed on the Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green 3.5-Inch and had it installed at the same time as the new video card. I installed OS 10.6.8, opened up Boot Camp Assistant, set the partition sizes: 2.5 TB for my Mac side and 500 GB for the Windows. XP wouldn't install so I ordered Windows 7 and began trying to set up the Windows partition. Each time I tried, I got the same error -- Windows 7 couldn't install on the 500 GB partition since it was formatted GPT which was strange since when I looked at the partition inside of Disk Utility, it said NTFS. While troubleshooting, I came across the following:
    ・Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive.
    ・The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    ・In a 32-bit MBR world, a disk larger than 2TB is probably invalid, and different OS's and tools react wildly differently when this is forced beyond 2TB.
    I called Western Digital to confirm which of their drives were in fact compatible with Boot Camp and they replied since Boot Camp was a third-party application, they have no information on compatibility. They told me to call Apple to get the information. Before purchasing a new drive and sending back the 3TB WD, I want to be sure I know which specs to look for in a hard drive in deciding whether it is compatible with my machine. Any helpful advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Here are the specs for my Mac:
    2006 24" iMac 6,1 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    OS 10.6.8
    Boot Camp Assistant 3.0.4

    Thanks for responding to my question. I guess I'm not sure I understand your reply though. I had no problem installing OS X on the 3TB WD Caviar Green and WD assured me that if I wanted to install only Windows 7 on it, there would be no compatibility issues. The problem lies with wanting the drive to be dual-bootable I guess via using Boot Camp (I know of no other way to go about it). The tech at OWC (where I bought the drive) said he had never heard of any problems with being able to install both Mac and Windows OS on the drive. In fact, he gave the same reply as yours: most hard drives should be able to work perfectly fine with your Mac. It's just that I can't get XP or Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) to install on the 2nd partition, making the drive I have now not dual-bootable. The tech said 2TB hard drives were different and should solve the problem but when I asked him for any discernible spec I could look for in shopping for a replacement drive, he couldn't give me one, i.e. most drives should be okay. I have paid to have the 3TB installed and will have to pay to get the drive taken out and a replacement put back in -- I want to make sure whatever drive I put in this time allows me to have 2 partitions: one for my Mac OSX system and the other for my Windows enviroment (either XP or Windows 7).
    If there is a work-around not involving Boot Camp, please let me know. I thought the reason for using Boot Camp as opposed to Disk Utility to create the dual-bootable drive was the benefit of using Mac drivers on the Windows side.
    If there is another way, I don't understand why PC world made this blanket statement:
    "Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive."

  • Earliest photoshop compatible with OSX (snow leopard) 64 bit system?

    What is the earliest release of photoshop that will run on this system?
    Thank you.

    Photoshop 7 was an OS 9 program, it won't work under Snow Leopard. According to the Wikipedia that last compatible version for Photoshop 7 was OS 10.1.

  • Issues with OSX snow leopard and quicktime

    I recently installed snow leopard and quicktime x does not play avi files. I've tried the perian patch but it won't install on my computer. Everything goes accordingly but when I go to the perian pref panel it says not installed. I click the manual install button and nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Remove the Perian prefPane from /Library/PreferencePanes/, download the latest version, and try installing it. If still no go, try VLC.

  • I have an imac an  with osx snow leopard and I can no delete mail messages, the colored disk just keep rotating around ?

    How can I delete old messages in my mail app. I set it up a yr ago but I don't use it. I go directly to my mail account to retrieve my mail.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • HP 1006 printer not working with new Snow Leopard drivers

    My MacBook Pro is connected to my HP 1006 LaserJet via TimeCapsule. After trashing the HP folder in Library>Printers, I downloaded the latest drivers, and restarted the MacBook. I opened a document to print, and selected the HP printer from the Printer drop down. The Printer opens in the dock, and when I click on it, the Status of the job is printing, but it hangs on a message that reads, "Printer busy; will retry in 10 seconds…" then nothing happens.
    Any thoughts?

    Same issues here...same setup. This has been an intermittent issue for some time now. My latest incident was when power was lost during one of the big snow storms. Print jobs hang when going trough Time Capsule (wired or wireless) but are fine if plugged into computers USB port. I have resolved this issue before by following similar steps outlined above, but the solution seem to be hit or miss.

  • PSE 8 will not install on new imac OSX Snow Leopard

    28. Feb 26, 2010 4:16 PM in response to: docmark86
    Re: PSE8 will not install on Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.1
    I have a new iMac 21.5 screen with OSX Snow Leopard.  I installed IWork and turbo tax with no problem.  Nothing else.
    PSE 8 installation fails after about 80% installation just as install for PSE 8 starts. I've spent hours on the phone with Adobe and they blame it on OSX   Error analysis states:   "Uncaught JavaScript exception: Unable to read Adobe file version for path /Library/Fonts/MinionPro-Bold.otf  Apple techs have also tried."   The latest communications from Adobe instructs me on validating fonts.  We have also tried  CS3 Clean Script since the install failed several times. Case # is 0181442609.    Nothing works and Apple techs are still researching.  Any suggestions from an Adobe professional?  I am new to the Mac environment so any complicated actions may require some "hand holding".
    Thanks to all!
    Doc

    Doc, I would suggest go to the font location which from your post is: <Macintosh HD>/Library/Fonts/MinionPro-Bold.otf. There should be a font file with this name. If it exists, just "cut" it from this location and paste it on the desktop for some time and then try to install PSE again and see if that works.
    If the font file doesnt exist and instead an empty folder names "MinionPro-Bold.otf" exists, then delete the folder and then try to install PSE again.
    In either case, please do attach the installer log file in the forum thread so that I can have a look at it. They can be located at the below location:
    <Macintosh HD>/Library/Logs/Adobe/Installer/"...Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0...."
    If there are multiple copies of the installer log files, then please delete them and then try to install PSE 8 again. If it fails, quit the installer and attach the new log files which are generated to this thread.
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • OSX and OSX snow leopard ?

    I own a Mac book Pro and Im hoping to buy a reconditioned IMac from Apple store there are 2 models Im looking at, one comes with OSX and the other comes with OSX Snow Leopard. Are these the same thing or is Snow Leopard the later version so better?
    Sorry if this seems a silly question
    Regards

    If the specs are the same on the two units (or close enough for what you want), I would absolutely pick the one with Snow leopard on it - that way you would get a machine that can boot from both that system as well as the latest - Lion (10.7) - which you should be getting a free upgrade code for. Lion does not support some older applications (no Rosetta), so if you have any of those, you could still run them on your new machine. In fact, you could partition your hard drive so you have Snow Leopard on one and lion on the other - that is what I have. You can boot into either one. Except for one Mac, all my machines have been refurbs.
