How can I get iLife for an older macbook with Snow Leopard?

I have a 2008 macbook. I just got Snow Leopard and was told I don't have the specs to upgrade to Mountain Lion. When I upgraded, I lost my whole iLife suite (I think because it was actually just a trial or sample), but I can't buy the latest version of iLife because it requires Mountain Lion.
I feel like Apple is trying to force me into buying a new computer, which really *****! They should offer support to all of their users, not just the most up-to-date ones....The whole reason I originally switched to mac was so that I wouldn't have to buy a new computer every few years!
And before anyone suggests anything with disks, I don't have my original install disks. I'm living abroad and it was 5 years ago...
Any suggestions?

If you are unsuccessful in obtaining replacement disks for your Macbook you can purchase an iLife 09 disk for a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 09

  • Need to get game to work on macbook with snow leopard?

    Downloaded Civilization Vfrom the app store on my macbook pro with lion, then moved it (via flash drive) to my macbook with snow leopard. When I open it, it asks me for the apple ID I downloaded it with, but after that it never opens or stays in the dock. Its like its killed the second it opens. Is there a way I can force it to stay open?

    We need to know which model you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier. Then post that information back here.
    Civilization V Minimum System Requirements
    Operating System: 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
    CPU Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (Dual-Core)
    CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz

  • Am I worth to wait for the new macbooks with snow leopard?

    As the day Apple released the new macbook pro 17. I was considering about If I need to wait for the all macbooks with the new operating system. Because I just heard that Snow leopard will come with a 64 bit. But now leopard just is with 32 bit. Some of people said new macbooks with snow leopard will be different from the old models(2008 late), even the macbook pro 17 2009. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

    I think if you need a new laptop you can take the plunge. If you have a look on the apple website on the SL page you will note the following text near the bottom:
    +Benchmark based on the SunSpider JavaScript Performance test on a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo-based iMac with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and 2GB of RAM.+
    That's the sort of specs for a machine that would run the OS well...I think the new 17" MB Pro is well within that ballpark.

  • I bought my 20" iMac in Nov of 2007 and when I try to purchase the upgrade for lion I'm told I need 2GB of memory and I only have 1GB.  How can I get more?  I am currently running snow leopard

    Trying to upgrade to Lion on my 20" iMac that I bought in Nov. 2007.  Currently I'm running on MAC OS X version 10.6.8.  When I tried to buy the upgrade I got a response that Lion requires 2 GB of memory and I only have 1 GB.  How can I get more memory and will my computer be compatible with Lion when I do get more memory?

    Yes you can install more RAM. Up to 6 GBs. Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. For the maximum use one 4 GB and one 2 GB. Otherwise install a pair of 2 GB modules for a total of 4 GBs.
    You can purchase suitable RAM at DataMem or OWC. OWC also has video tutorials on installation.

  • Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
    Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
    Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
    If so, where can I get it?
    Thank you in advance to the Apple community.
    Philippe

    As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
    So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
    If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.

  • How can I get apps for my ipod touch with ios 2.2?

    I've been trying to search for games/apps for my iPod Touch but can't seem to find anything that doesn't required iOS 3.0 or greater.
    Does anyone have any suggested apps/games for the older gen ipod touch?  Is there a way to search the apps store for these older apps?

    If I may ask, why do you not just upgrade your iPod's operating system? Even the first-generation iPod touch can run iOS 3, and the 2nd-generation iPod touch can run iOS 4, though not all features work. Then you would have a much broader range of apps available to you.
    Regards.

  • How can I restore mac pro back to original with snow leopard

    I want to restore my macpro back to original, I dont have restore disk, just snow leopard disk. How can I do this?  Thanks

    A nice phone call to Apple usually results in a replacement disk being sent to you.
    I understand your intention is to give this computer away. If you were selling it, not having the original install disks dramatically lowers its value.

  • Can't get HP Deskjet 3845 to work with Snow Leopard

    I have just upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard. My HP Deskjet 3845 printer will not work. I have tried installing the printer drivers included on the optional install section on the Snow Leopard Disc.
    Are there new drivers available for the HP Deskjet 3845, that will enable my printer to work?
    Thanks.

    Print drivers for the HP DeskJet 3845 (which is what this thread was originally about) are available through Apple Software Update (HP Drivers version 2.2), download from [Apple.com|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907], or from [HP.com|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=m p-74669-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=372330&os=219&lang=en].
    If you're still having troubles, let me know.
    Just trying to help.

    My phone was stolen.  How can I get my photos off the iCloud with Snow Leopard.

    Welcome to the Apple Community
    You can't, if the photos are in photostream you need a compatible device, if they are in a backup, you can only use the backup to restore to a new device.

    The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs.  You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.
