Current iMovie '11 for Snow Leopard?

Hi all,
I'm using an iMac at work that came pre-loaded with iMovie '09. Never had to use it until recently we've started doing some video projects, and I've become extremely frustrated with '09s lack of any sort of normal timeline. I see that '11 offers a timeline once again - great - and was once available for Snow Leopard - even better. But when I hopped into the AppStore I see that the system requirements say OSX 10.7.4 or later... which is Lion.
Is iMovie '11 no longer available for Snow Leopard?
Any suggestions? I'm at the end of my rope with frustration over this iMovie '09 business, but I don't think my work will spring for Final Cut....
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Matt

So I decieded to try something I took my wife's computer and hooked up my external hard drive to it and copied iMovie11' from her applications folder and then copied it to my applications folder and imovie 11 works offically on 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on both our computers. So it is possible to get imovie11' on your 10.6.8. OS. You just have to fiqured out a way to get a disk or copy it from another computer. We don't have Mountain Lion but you might be able to try and copy from that and install on Snow Leopard.
Cheers!

Bought iMovie '11 for a Mountain Lion iMac and want iMovie '11 for snow Leopard MacBook but it won't download for Macbook?

Hello:
I have an iMac that I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. I bought iMovie '11 after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I also have a MacBook Pro but don't want to upgrade to Mountian Lion 'cause I don't want to loose Front Row. So I tried to buy and install iMovie from the App Store on the MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) but when I try to buy it it says that I can't buy it or run on on Snow Leopard it must be on Mountain Lion? Is there any way to get the down version of iMovie '11 for Snow Leopard from the App Store? I already paid for this version online.
Thanks,
mn3

My guess is that you are out of luck. The latest requirements for iMovie '11, as listed on the App Store, are "OS X 10.7.4 or later". In other words, iMovie '11 (in it's latest iteration) will work only on Lion or Mountain Lion (or later).
My wife's iMac is on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 and is running iMovie '11 version 9.0.4. Checking for updates returns the message that iMovie is up to date. So it appears that the last version to run on Snow Leopard is 9.0.4 - hence why you can't download 9.0.8 to Snow Leopard from the App Store. Perhaps you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 somewhere (possibly eBay) that has an earlier version of iMovie '11.

IMovie version for Snow Leopard ?

Is iMovie version available for Snow Leopard?

All versions of iMovie from version 6 onwards will work with Snow Leopard.

What is current version iPhoto for Snow Leopard?

What is the current version of iPhoto for Snow Leopard? I have used iPhoto ever since 10.6.8 was installed --use Software Update all the time, my current iPhoto says it's v. 8.3.1. Now, suddenly, when I try to open iPhoto, messages says : " The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. (choices are) Quit - - Upgrade"
I am fearful to click the upgrade because I have assumed iPhoto was up-to-date for this OS 10.6.8. Fearful, because I envision losing the whole iPhoto library. I was in our local reseller/retailer yesterday and was encouraged to "just go ahead and click it!" but tho' I'm not a nerd, I need to understand what's going on here ! WIll appreciate any thoughtful counsel . . .

9.2.3, which is part of iLife '11.

I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard?

I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard? I'm good on partitioning but when I insert the Snow Leopard install disk a message tells me I can't run the install program because I currently have Lion installed... obviously. Have I gone about this the wrong way? Do I need to boot the computer using the Snow Leopard install disk instead of my main HD?

Apple will never update that as for the most part it is true, and the fact that they really don't want you to run older OS X versions (for whatever reason).
Now this probably won't work with the next line of MBPs and MBAs that come out. But it is for the current builds.
But as I stated you need one of the lastest builds of SL for it to even boot the system.
It won't work with the retail 10.6.3 DVD disc. That version does not have the correct drivers for the newest Mac's.

I currently have OS X Snow Leopard and want to Update to OS X Lion, but it says that it is no longer available for purchase. Do I have to go straight to Mountain Lion?

If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

How do I reinstall Lion if I get a new hard drive? My mac came with Leopard and I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard

My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard. I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard. I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup. I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive. I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.

The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.

IMessage for Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

I am on a MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, with 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, running OS 10.6.8.
I am currently deployed to Afghanistan (p.s. the internet is pretty slow over here).
I always have my iPhone with me for taking pictures, and there are a few hotspots near the USO area where I can access the wifi and use iMessage with friends and family back in the world, email, Facebook, etc..
When I am in my room, I do have wired internet that I pay for through an ISP called sniperhill. I use my MacBook Pro here in my room.
Is there a version of iMessage that I can install on my MacBook Pro to replace iChat and then be able to iMessage my friends and family on their iOS devices (the folks I am messaging all have iPhone 4S or newer). I found a place to download iMessage for Mac, but after a 45+ minute download, it turned out to require 10.7 or later. D'oh!
I use iChat sometimes to video chat with my wife and kids, but they aren't always on the MacBook at the house. If I could iMessage them while in my room on my laptop, then we could coordinate to have them power up and hop in front of the MacBook at home, then I could use FaceTime 1.0.2 to chat with them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

HI,
Sorry about the delay.
I also see there are 19 "Me Too" clicks.
iMessages is the service run by Apple that basically started with the iOS devices and was a beta for a time in Lion (OS X 10.7) which also was date limited and ended on the 14th December 2012.
It is no only available with the Messages app in Mountain Lion.
FaceTime is available for Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) and can then FaceTime to those iOS devices.

USB to DVI for Snow Leopard

I need a USB to DVI adapter for my Macbook Pro that will work for Snow Leopard. I have found several on eBay but they don't say they will work on Snow Leopard. Anyone know of one that will?
Thanks

Everything Other World Computing (OWC) sells is for Mac, and this adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
says 10.4.11 and up/ However, there is this note:
OWC Note: The current driver temporarily does not support portrait mode under 10.6.3 - A solution is being explored.
If Portrait Mode is not needed, then this should work.

Huge memory leak in java jvm after update 2 for Snow leopard

Since I updated to Java Update 2 for Snow Leopard my JVM suddenly grows massive (10GB+ real memory - -Xmx=3500m) consuming all memory and rendering my iMac unusable. This does not happen predictably but does happen several times a day now requiring I power off and on again.
I had been living happily with update 1 with no such problem.
I need to either go back to update 1 (should have it on Time Machine) or find a solution for this problem.

Our application is a j2ee-based commercial application facing to specified customers, having about 120 access request an hour.
We ' re doing stress test on the test server. The strange memory leak occurs at 1:20 am this morning while we're out of company , and no job was scheduled to run at that time. So I have the tendency to image that there is something inside oc4j had occured.
I have used OptimizeIt to monitor the heap status. However , as the memory leak problem occurs very occasionally ,and that tool deadly slows our server, we are currently using no profiling tools.

IMovie 11 and Snow Leopard

Having horrendous problems with iMovie 11 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) -- very slow indeed, and nothing works as it should. Does it work properly with Snow Leopard? Or is it just meant for Lion? I have an iMac OSX intel version.
I tried to reinstall iMovie 09 from the install disk -- but it refuses to install -- what to do?
Thanks all.

It should work fine. If reinstalling iMovie does not work, you may need to reinstall OSX.

ICloud address book sync for Snow Leopard

Mountain Lion won't run on my Intel-graphics dual core white MacBook. Lion should run, but I've been disappointed with Lion and it is now end-of-life (mercifully short).
So I've a perfectly fine and responsive Snow Leopard machine. Only problem -- when MobileMe dies in June Address Book on that device won't sync with our iPhone [1].
I know Apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to sync anything to iCloud. So there's no solution that way.
One approach is to use a 3rd party app to sync Address Book on this machine with Address Book on another machine that in turn syncs with iCloud.
The easier approach is to go all Google; sync Address Book to Google, set the iPhone to use a Google Apps account. (Ironic that Apple's obsoleting a solid MacBook should drive us to Google.)
Anyone see any other fixes?
john
[1] For various reasons the iPhone syncs to another machine with our family app/media library. So I can't sync Address Book via iTunes.

In this case I do need to plan ahead, and I'm confident my sources are correct. Apple might add in support for 64bit machines with Intel graphics, but that's a bit unlike them. On the other hand, this entire ML roll out is new, so old rules may not apply.
Here are my requirements, given for various reasons I need to have a plan in place around mid-May for my corporate user base (3 kids, 2 parents, dog is out of luck):
Not Lion: I use Lion, but I don't want to inflict it on the family. Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard only.
We don't want to replace the MacBook - so that means Snow Leopard is required.
Whatever we do, it has to sync to all of our iOS devices as well as our OS X devices. That rules out iCloud for the iOS devices, since iCloud is incompatible with the MacBook (given the no Lion requirement).
We currently use Google calendars and Google Apps extensively, and despite Google's marked turn to the dark side we're stuck there unless Apple offers something we can use or Google drives iOS users away (they might).
That leaves an ActiveSync (Exchange) solution. Apple's enterprise ambitions mean they have to support ActiveSync for iOS going forward. So Google Apps ActiveSync will work with our iOS devices. Snow Leopard is harder -- Snow Leopard's ActiveSync support is broken. Mountain Lion may be better, in which case we can use ML ActiveSync on two machines. For Snow Leopard we'll have to pay Spanning Sync for their Google Sync to Address Book/Contacts and Calendar support. (I saw your Chronosync comment; I own that app, it doesn't help with this problem.)
So it looks like Apple's termination of MacBook support in the Mountain Lion era will push our family off iCloud and onto Google/ActiveSync/Spanning Sync!

I have an 06' macbook and I just bought an 07' macbook.. The 06' has os x 10.6 but the 07' has 10.5.. I no longer have the disk for snow leopard. Is there ANY way to get snow leopard from the old computer to the other without having to buy it again?

Technical issues aside, there's still a legal issue.
Neither 2006 nor 2007 MacBooks shipped with Snow Leopard 'factory' installed. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard became available in September 2009. So you purchased and installed a Snow Leopard upgrade disc on the 2007 system at some point.
If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a single-user copy, then legally, you need to purchase another one for the second computer. If your Snow Leopard upgrade was a Family Pack 5-user license, then you're good to go.
http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MC574Z/A?pqid=QTUXD7AF4YU9FJD YUTDPCKYKUDDDXKHTK
If you have an active MobileMe account, Apple was giving away a single-user upgrade copy of Snow Leopard for a limited time, and you should have received an email with a link, or been offered the opportunity when you signed in to your MobileMe account on the web:
http://www.macrumors.com/2012/04/24/free-snow-leopard-discs-for-mobileme-users-n ow-arriving/
Worst case, single-user Snow Leopard upgrade discs are $29 retail, direct from Apple. I'd hate to have two computers and no OS installation CD's for whatever version I'm currently using.

Aperture for snow leopard

Hiya,
I'm considering getting Aperture or Lightroom. I use snow leopard and have currently no inclination to get lion. I see the latest and greatest aperture 3.3.1 is available _only_ for lion. Is it possible to purchase a version for snow leopard?
I found this discussion on getting 3.2.4 by downloading the trial and such, but is this necessary? Calling apple support and begging for an activation serial code for the trial?
If apple doesn't want my money perhaps I should just get lightroom - any input on this folks?
thanks!
shawn

For Snow Leopard, you could do the following if Amazon will ship to your location:
Order Aperture 3 retail DVD from here:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB957Z-A-Aperture-3/dp/B002I0JKSS
Download the Aperture 3.2.4 update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1538
This would give you the highest update level compatible with Snow Leopard. This would give you the ability to reinstall at any time on Snow Leopard as well (the EULA allows installation on 2 computers as long as only one instance is running in RAM at a time).
Note - the unified library feature and new 'Skin Tone' white balance is not part of 3.2.4, but Lightroom doesn't have a 'Skin Tone' white balance either.
