How can I get iphoto for OSX 10.6.8?

Hi all-
Running an iMac from pre-2009 (maybe 2006?) with snow leopard on it. It's the family computer so I'm rarely on it (using MBP myself) and decided to back up the hard drive and do a reboot from the snow leopard disc due to a slew of broken programs and overall snail pace. I only backed up documents (photos, .docs, .mp3s etc) because the computer was demonstrating some of the same problems my MBP was showing when it had malware a few months ago and to be on the safe side I didn't want to save any applications.
Bad idea.
I'm unable to install iphoto at all. I broke down and decided to just purchase it from the app store but as you have probably suspected- they only sell the one compatible with 10.7< there. I tried loading from my iLife '11 discs disc is pretty scratched- could this be the problem?) but they show an error shortly into the install saying "software cannot be installed because there is not software to be installed."
What?
I don't have the original install discs except for Install Disc 2 which doesn't do anything when inserted. I rebooted from a store bought version of snow leopard and the computer originally came with an older version (not sure which- lion? leopard? whatever was mid 2000's).
Have tried transferring iPhoto from my macbook- doesn't work. Can't find a version online. Not covered by AppleCare. Do you think they'll talk to me because I just purchased an iPhone 5 a few days ago?
If I call apple and they somehow send me a replacement disc for the original- will THAT be compatible with the snow leopard I'm now running? Can my machine even handle mountain lion if i have to upgrade and if it can will all my programs need to be repurchased? Does the upgrade have iphoto? I don't care about the rest of iLife, just iPhoto.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions of where to find help. Getting desperate at this point.
Side note- only have 1 gb memory on this machine.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Mountain Lion needs a Mid 2007 or later iMac, so if you have a supported iMac, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion. Apple won't give you another iLife DVD if you purchased it in a box, so if you don't want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, buy iLife '11 in Amazon.
Apart, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion and buy iPhoto in the App Store. The cost will be similar to buy iLife '11 in a DVD, so you'll upgrade OS X and iPhoto at the same time

    how can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

    I'm an experienced software developer (C, C++, Lisp, Linux, Unix, etc) but have never done any Mac development, and wanted to try some stuff on my iMac at home, but I have Snow Leopard and most of the turtorials I looked at said the first thing I had to do was download XCode and the first thing that happened when I tried to do that was it said I had to upgrade to Lion.
    My iMac is running SnowLeopard.   I don't have any big reason to stay at SnowLeopard, but from stuff I've seen in the forums I can't see any big reason to upgrade to Lion.   I might eventually want to do development for IOS on an iphone or iPad, but for now I just want to do a simple tutorial app for my iMac.
    I found the downloads search page, and it looks like there's two versions of Xcode  3.2.7 which has a release date of Sep 2011, and 3.2 with a release date of Jan 2012.
    Which one should I download?   And if I download one of these will it be a problem if I do upgrade to Lion in a few months?

    How can I reinstall iphoto for OSX 10.5.8 I had to delete the application, and I can't find how to reinstall

    If your computer came with iLife pre-installed, then you will find iPhoto on one of your original installer discs.
    If you purchased iLife then you can restore it from the iLife DVD you received.

  • How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6?  (iTunes does recognize it!)

    I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great.  I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over.  iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before.  HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone.  How can I get iPhoto to recognize it?  I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

    So says my computer.  Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.

  • How can i get iphoto 9?

    I am running OSX 10.5.8 and I have iphoto 7.1.5  I just spent many hours creating a calendar.  When I went to purchase it, I got an error message stating that apple doesn't support calendar purchases in iphoto 7 any longer, and I need to upgrade to iphoto 9 at the mac app store.  Since I am not running mavericks or yosemite I don't have the mac app store, so how can I get iphoto 9, and will it even work with 10.5.8?

  • How can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro

    how can i get iphoto on my IPAD if i already have it on my macbook pro?

    See this page, if your iPad qualifies for a free download: Free Apple apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
    iPhoto on the iPad and iPhoto on the Mac are completely different programs. The Mac version cannot run on the iPad, because the operating systems and the processors are different. Don't expect, that iPhoto on the iPad will be able to do the same things as your iPhoto for Mac, pr that you can keep the two iPhoto libraries in sync.  
    Se this help page for a description, what iPhoto on the iPad can do: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/
