IPhoto version compatibility with Snow Leopard

Since I can't transfer my individual picture dates nor my extensive album data to iPhoto 9, is it possible to install an earlier iPhoto version on my new iMac that will accept this data?
As answered in your previous duplicate question, Sure you can transfer to iPhoto '09 if you have a previous version of iPhoto - simply connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode. etc) and drag the old iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto - it will convert as needed

Transfer photos from iphoto to Aperture with snow leopard, how?

hi all
how can i transfer photos from iphoto (in power book G5) To Aperture ( in MacBook Pro 17" with snow leopard), with same albums arrangement???? thanks

1- the size of iphoto library is 6GB, but in aperture its 11GB, y?
I think it's because you have the original images plus copies with any adjustments you made in iPhoto. It could also have to do with Aperture generating Previews.
2- now to copy the another iphoto library from the second old machine, i will replace its library with the iphoto library of new machine then copy it in aperture library, and after that i can delete the iphoto library to save hard space. is that correct? thanks
Just make sure you keep the copies on the old machines until you've backed up your new Aperture Library and made sure that everything is there. IMPORTANT: make sure that you chose to copy the images into your Aperture Library instead of keeping them in their current location. If you left them in the iPhoto Library and you delete that library, you delete your images!

Lacie burner compatibility with Snow Leopard

I have been corresponding with Lacie concerning the inability with Snow Leopard to use the Lightscribe software anymore. I was able to burn labels before Snow Leopard. Their reply is below and I don't have a clue what they're talking about. I hope someone in this forum can enlighten me.
Thank you in advance,
You need to update the silicon image mother board of the Mac to the latest version so the LaCie drive can be operated under Snow Leopard.
How to do that is actually out of our support field, you will need to contact Mac tech support and they should provide more information on the issue.

I've never used Lightscribe (my dvd drive is pre-Lightscribe); but I just checked their downloads pages and I saw
Lightscribe labeler 1.2.2 which "fixes issues with 10.6"
Have you tried that? I've scoured their support pages and the only reference to a possible problem with 10.6 has to do with a setup assistant for an external hard drive (if you use a setup assistant).
Their email support could be better (I'm being polite); I have a problem with their statement:
+"so the LaCie drive can be operated under Snow Leopard."+
If they are referring to any DVD drive, it is bunk - mine is old and works just fine with 10.6.3 (I just tried it). As for the "silicon image mother board", unfortunately, I don't have a clue - I'd inquire if they're sure they are referring to a Mac rather than a Windows machine because we call it logic board.

Problems with iPhoto on MacBookPro with Snow Leopard

I am new to Mac and have just got a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. When importing my photos and videos to iPhoto i sometimes get the following error:
iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library.
can anyone tell me how to fix this or why it is happening as it is really annoying - as well as not being able to play my movie files in any format...
Many thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Where is your Library stored?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

DVD Studio Pro 4 - Compatibility with Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard I have been unable to start DVD Studio Pro (4.0.3) - it shuts down immediately. I've tried getting the latest update for both Snow Leopard and DVD Studio Pro but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

If it worked and is Non-UB eventually issues could crop up, more so as more into the newer versions of the OS come out I would guess. But if you were running the version of DVD SP on your laptop with Snow Leopard and then after the software updates it stopped running, then in all likelihood it sounds like that one of the updates may have broke DVD SP in SL. Which updates did you install and can you roll back the system prior to the new software updates?
Deleting preferences could be something to also try.
User-> Prefs -> com.apple.dvdstudiopro.plist
You can also try to create another user account to see if that helps.

IPhoto dock issue with Snow Leopard

I have a small issue with iPhoto ever since installing Snow Leopard. I have 2 iPhoto libraries (College and Family). When I click on the iPhoto icon in the dock, it opens up the library I used last. This is the same in Leopard and Snow Leopard and that's fine. In Leopard, however, if I wanted to open a different library, I just held down the option key and clicked on the icon, and a window would pop up asking me which library to open. In Snow Leopard, the window doesn't open and iPhoto just opens the last library I used. Every time I want to open the other library, I have to open it through Finder or Spotlight, which can get annoying. Anyone know of a workaround?

Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, remove iPhoto from the dock, replace it in the dock and try again.

Propellerhead Reason 3 compatibility with Snow Leopard?

Before I buy the Snow Leopard update, I want to make sure of compatibility with a few of my apps. I know there are compatibility lists out there but I can't find any specific mention of Snow Leopard's compatibility with Propellerhead Reason 3.
Can anyone with Reason 3 who has taken the Snow Leopard plunge let me know if there were any issues?
cheers,
Ian

Propellerhead just released a new version (this week) - I wonder if earlier versions will not even be considered to be Snow Leopard-compatible.
Totally off-topic, I talked to the folks at Carbonite this afternoon. They have a very popular Windows backup scheme - and recently released a "dumbed-down" version for Mac (lacking backup scheduling, and other important-to-many features that are in the Windows version).
"We haven't tested Carbonite for Mac under Snow Leopard yet ... " - was the first statement made by their representative.
This attitude just made me wonder: Authors of US$19 little utilities have released Snow Leopard-compatible versions this week, so Apple allows publishers of all sizes to get into the beta process. But why would several MAJOR applications not care enough to get their collective acts together for us?
And so it goes. I am off to a local retailer, who's opening up at a minute past midnight to sell Snow Leopard for a couple hours tonight.

Time Machine and Disk Permissions + Compatibility with Snow Leopard

I have received warning from Disk Utility that I should repair permissions as several files show incorrect permissions and, more than that, my 750GB shows "769GB available".
My questions are:
1. If I use Command+R and rebuild the disk from a Time Machine backup, will permissions be reset or will the files just be copied as they are now?
2. Is there a way to verify the TM backups to check the files therein?
3. Suppose, just for the sake of an exercise, that I reload Snow Leopard; can I still use SL's Time Machine to read a Lion Time Machine backup?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!
Fernando

Why are you repairing permissions? It's a waste of time unless you have a specific reason to do it, and the warnings don't mean anything.
To verify your Time Machine backup, proceed as below.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo tmutil compare
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
Files that you’ve excluded from backup, or that are excluded automatically, are ignored.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

IPhoto not working with Snow Leopard

I installed Snow Leopard and then opened iPhoto, all my edited photos, when opened on the full screen, come up either as a full page of red or green stripes. Went to the Genius bar, they wiped the hard drive clean and reinstalled everything, except Snow Leopard from my backup and it worked fine.
They told me to wait about 2 weeks and then try and install Snow Leopard again, and unfortunately the same thing is happening.
Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks

Thank you Terence for your reply
I have just sent my query to you again I think under another thread.
I migrated the photos from another computer to this one.
I also copied some photos from another imac g5 on to this computer.

IStumbler compatibility with snow leopard

I have had problems with my wifi dropping connection intermittently as has been discussed on this forum extensively. The solution I found to the problem was to run iStumbler constantly which somehow completely resolved the problem. Since upgrading to snow leopard, iStumbler is not currently compatible and I am back to the same old problems. I wonder if anyone knows if, and when, iStumbler will be compatible with SL. Also, is there another similar program that might offer the same solution (I tried air radar which didn't help). Many thanks

KisMAC works. I'm not sure if it will provide the same function you are looking for.

PSE compatability with Snow Leopard?

After using PSE v6.0 for years under Mac Leopard, I upgraded to Snow Leopard and it is no longer stable....crashes mostly when saving a file. I tried reinstalling PSE v6.0 but nothing changed. I've looked for upgrades to both Snow Leopard and PSE v6.0 but Snow Leopard's didn't improve anything and I can't find upgrade to PSE. Looked at the web for help but find only old complaints and an inconsistent experience....some installations work and some don't with no fix to be found Need help, please. Don

Barbara,
This is from yahoo mail instead of my Thunderbird Mail client. I don't know why
this
does work with you but does to others. Anyway, here is what I tried to say:
Barbara, I hope you can see this email content. To answer your     questions,
I didn't do a clean upgrade but simply put in the Snow Leopard disk     that
I had purchased from Apple some time ago. Second, and apparently
important, though I thought I had upgraded from v6.0, I hadn't. So     I just
did that...going to 10.6.8! Without deleting the PSE preferences     and
repairing permissions, I tried using PSE on a dozen or so different     images
and several formats. THEY ALL WORKED AND PSE DIDN'T CRASH!!!
Finally, in looking around the fora and web yesterday, I see that     you are
involved in helping so many of us neophytes. May I thank     you for
all your kind...and tolerant....assistance. I hope I am now     restored and
can free you to extend your kindness to others. Appreciatively,      Don

Microtek i800 compatability with snow leopard

I installed snow leopard 10.6.6 yesterday. Now I can't use my scanner. It's a Microtek i800. When I try to open the program the initial graphic appears on my screen, then a box asking me to use color sync. I click okay, and then nothing happens. When I go to force quit in the apple menu it says scanwizard pro 7 not responding. I tried downloading the latest driver from Microtek. That hasn't helped.

same problem here, but with the i900... i've downloaded the snow leopard drivers from the website but it just freezes with the startup image... the app never fully starts...

Which version of iLife works with Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

My hard drive died recently and I had to get a new drive. I lost everything from iLife (iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie etc.). Someone suggested that I buy a old copy of iLife on either Amazon or eBay. Which version should I get that is compatable with Snow Leopard 10.6.8? Is it iLife '09 or iLife '11?

The online Apple store will not sell old versions - you rlocal physical Apple store may be able to help - worth asking
When I gave an older Mac to my son and could not find the disks to go with it Apple support sold me the replacement disks very reasonably And the Apple stores generally are very helpful
Since you can not find the disks:
You can contact Apple - they may replace them for you - or purchase an iLife '11 DVD from a source like Amazon or eBay - or check with your closest Apple store - I like the Fasion Island one myself
