How can I install iPhoto on a 10.6.8 Macbook?

Hello all-
I had a quick question regarding the newest version of iPhoto '11.  Quite a while ago, I had to replace the hard drive of my (very old) Macbook Pro, and during this process I installed 10.6.8 on the new SSD.  Everything works perfectly, but I did lose my iLife install when the process was finished (I used the upgrade version of 10.6.8 as opposed to the full version, forgetting that the new drive wouldn't have my previous 10.4 install on it).
Anyway, I'm looking to buy iPhoto '11, but the requirements on the App Store claim that it can only be used with 10.7.4 or later.  I can't find an older version of iPhoto that I can buy, so my question is-
Can I use iPhoto '11 with a 10.6.8 Mac?  Has anyone successfully installed (not upgraded) iPhoto '11 on a 10.6.8 Mac?  If it won't work, how do I find/buy an older version of iPhoto which will work with my computer?
Thanks for your help!

I contacted App Store support, but it doesn't look like they'll be able to help me- apparently you can't buy the CD version.  I did find this on Amazon, however- I believe it's what you're talking about. 
However, I'm not sure if this version will even run on my Mac- any idea on whether it'll work or not?
Additionally, I found my old 10.4 discs that came with the computer when it was new- I'll try to get iPhoto installed off the bundled software installer and see if I can upgrade it from there.

    iPhoto '11 will work with 10.6.8 - as will iPhoto '08 and '09 (and iPhoto 6) - you can purchase any of thoses ilife DVDs that you can find on eBay on Amazon and install iPhoto or all of iLife
    The App store only sells the latest version and it will not work on 10.6.8

  • I can't install iPhoto 11 app on second hand macbook air

    Hey,
    On a second hand macbook air with formatted ssd disk + reinstalled Lion, I can't install ilife. It is already installed by another user (former owner of the macbook air ?).
    How can this be solved ?
    Thx

    Just an agreement with Csound1 - you need to begin again anew (is that repetitious?).
    CleanMyMac has obviously made the installation of Adobe products impossible. Which products, specifically, are you trying to install and which versions? You should ALWAYS use the provided Adobe Uninstallers to uninstall an Adobe product. Kind of pointless information at this time, I know, but just as a reminder for 'next time,' when you surely will no longer be using CleanMyMac.

  • HT200165 How can I install my Aperture program to my new macbook?

    I would like to install my Aperture program to my new macbook. Does anyone know how this can be done? Apple says that it is legal to do so, but their instructions are full of doublespeak and jargon. Can anyone please simplify the answer?

    If you downloaded Aperture 3 from the Apple Store and not the AppStore, then you cannot download it from the AppStore to your other mac. You need the original installer disk image you downloaded. If you did not keep that, download the Trial installer - you can unlock it with your registration key.
    A copy of the Trial Installer is here:
    Aperture 3.1 Trial.
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.
    Note: If you are using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later, you may receive an alert stating that Aperture is from an unidentified developer. This can occur when you try to install Aperture from DVD or the trial download. See OS X Mountain Lion: The app is from an unidentified developer for details on how to successfully install Aperture in this situation.

  • How can I install Microsoft Money 2001 on to my Macbook Air?

    I have just got my MacBook Air and am very happy with it, but I'm currently trying to install Microsoft Money 2001 on here, and I have no clue how to do it... It is a CD which I have installed on my old computer, however, I insert the CD into the disk slot in the USB disk thing, and it comes up with the disk on my desktop, but I have no idea what to do from there. Please help, thank you.

    Wow, I see some red flags:
    Microsoft Money - Are you sure this runs on a Mac running an OS X operating system?
    2001 - Are you sure you want to run twelve year old software?  Are you sure it can run on a current processor?
    There are other products out there that may do what you need at least as well ...
    Anyway, putting all that aside, and assuming you know that Microsoft Money 2001 will run on your Mac, here's the answer to your question:
    Control-click on that "disk on my desktop".  Then click "Open".  Hopefully you will either see something labelled "Installer", or some arrow showing the Microsoft Money icon leading to an Applications Folder.  If you see the installer, double click it.  If you see the arrow, drag the icon as indicated.  A third possibility is you will see a ".dmg" file.  If so, double click it.
    If you see none of the above, that would reconfirm this software is not designed for an Apple product!
    Anyway, I would be very reluctant to try to install it because of the red flags.

  • How can I install a fresh OS on my 13" macbook. It has a New HDD and I have no install discs. It is a Mid 2010 Model

    Can anyone tell me How I can install a new operating system on a new HDD of my Macbook Mid 2010 model. I don't have another Mac to use, I only have a PC, I also don't have access to any discs or bootable USB's.

    Thanks for the quick response guys. The fulll story is, I bought the machine as not working from eBay with no HDD. It was listed as water damaged. Im competent at fixing water damage and got the machine up and running again in no time. I put a HDD in that I had lying around that was working last time I checked with hope of being able to format it using a recovery USB download from Apple and then going from there but I can't even get that far. Looking at the model release time it seems it would have been released with Snow Leopard so it makes sense that i'd need to get a disk. Unless you have any other suggestions?

  • How can I install epson stylus nx625 driver on my Macbook Pro?

    I've spent a frustrating few hours today going back and forth between Apple tech support and Epson tech support and still do not have a solution to what should be a simple problem.  I got a new MacBook Pro as a work computer and want to install my home printer on it so that I can print when working from home.  The printer is an Epson Stylus NX 625 all in one.
    The directions on Epson's website indicate that the only way to install is use the "Software Update" function by going to the Apple icon on the upper left corner.  When doing this, the system looks for an update and finds nothing.  Printer is connected to the MacBook  via usb cable and is also on my wireless network.  I called Apple tech support and they said they don't have a driver for this Epson device and I should contact Epson.  I called Epson tech support and they say that they don't even have the driver for this device on their website because "Apple has signed off on ownership of this driver and only they can deliver this to you via their software update".   Can anyone help?
    I am running Mountain Lion, OS X 10.8.1
    Thanks for any assistance provided.

  • How can I install my CS2 upgrade to my new macbook pro?

    Help! I have a new Macbook pro and an old upgrade of CS2 photoshop (upgraded from Photoshop 6). I bought these two for a PC and was told in the Mac shop that I could run them on my fancy new machine..........apparently not, it won't install classic photoshop 6 as presumably it's too old. I also have CS2 Indesign but can't find the install button to press for that either......Am I screwed? I can't afford new programmes.

    CS2 is the oldest version that can be upgraded to CS5. You may want to do that now before you lose the opportunity when CS6 comes out. You can upgrade and crossgrade to CS5 for Mac.
    Another thought...
    I run CS2 for Windows on Linux through Wine. It works fine. You could probably install Wine on Mac and do the same.
    The salespeople might have been referring to running your Windows software on Mac with a virtual machine... with the help of such apps as VMWare Fusion or Parallels. These let you run Windows on top of Mac OS X without rebooting into a Windows partition. See the marketing line: "It Runs Windows Too".

  • How can i install windows application (like hislider) on my macbook?

    Recently i'm  trying to create html slider plugin for my website. so i intall hislider software in my computer to create stunning image slider. This software is running ok, but i also like to install it on my MacBook.
    Can anyone shed any more light?

    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install Boot Camp 4 if you’re running 10.7 Lion http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    or Boot Camp 3 if you’re running 10.6 snow Leopard http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
      6. Last is Q.  Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs.  It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.

    Apple figures that having supported PowerPC code for the last 6 years is enough so they dropped it.
    Why should they have to support some that old forever? It doesn't make good business sense to support some that so few will use.
    If you must play those games, my suggestion is to get an older Mac that will support PowerPC. It is going to be a difficult task to get Snow Leopard to run on a new Mac.
