Is Aperture 3.4 compatible with Snow Leopard

I want to purchase Aperture and have a circa 2010 iMac running Snow Leopard.  The App Store says I need at least Lion, however I have seen postings that indicate Aperure 3.3 can run on Snow Leopard.

Hi
Best is to buy Aperture 3 in DVD format. It's prior 3.3 and 3.4 and is easily available on amazon.com
Doing this as we speak as I have the same issue than you ... Only drawback is that you might be stuck with version 3.0 or something which has the early day issues/bugs you can imagine.
Hope it helps

  • 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.

  • Help! Aperture won't work with Snow Leopard...

    I know you will all probably laugh at me because I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard.  The problem is that nobody told me my Aperture wouldn't work anymore! I can't even open it to retrieve my photos...(btw, this is why I was hesitant to upgrade...but I had to because I got the iphone 5 which wouldn't sync with my itunes version and that wouldn't update unless I went to snow leopard...and so on....).
    So, the problem is that I need Aperture version 2.0. so I can update that to 2.1.4 and be compatible with Snow Leopard.  I have 1.5.6 and kept it that way because it was working for me and I just basically use Aperture as a photo storage system. I can't find 2.0 anywhere. I can't figure out how to uninstall snow leopard either. I need my photos back asap.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance,
    Debi

    One more question, debi.
    Does your Aperture icon show a circular ring like the ghostbusters? Like below for my CCC?
    And is the "Kind" listed as "Application (PowerPC)" when you use "Get Info ⌘I)? That would indicate that your current Aperture version is still a PowerPC application. Then you can still make it run on Snow Leopard. You have to make sure that your Snow Leopard installation includes the Rosetta environment.
    Do you have a Snow Leopard install disk? Look into the "Optional Installs" folder on this disk and open the "Optional Installs" package. Proceed as described in the second part of this
    article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167117/reinstalling_rosetta.html
    If your Aperture 2 version is still a PoerPC app, installing Rosetta should enable you to run the aperture 2 installer from your installation disk and then upgrade to Aperture 2.1.4.

    Then restart your Mac.

  • FC Studio 2 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    H there,
    I am in the process of buying a new computer, upgrading from a G4. I use Final Cot Studio 2 (with FCP6) and wonder, if this is compatible with snow leopard. I tired to find an answer on this, but a lot of people seemed to have problems when they install snow leopard. In my case, it would be installing Final Cut from the CD's and them upgrading to the latest version. Ideally, I would like to wait and not buy FCP7 yet. Can anyone advice me on the compatibility?
    Many thanks,
    Anita

    From what I've read, it is important to install FCP 6 and all updates from the original install discs over a clean install of SL.
    Problems seem to arise with upgrade installs.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

    adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

    The official line is yes. However, some users have experienced some problems. Whether these are due to incompatibility or problems resulting from the upgrade process is not yet clear.
    The only acknowledge issue relates to Edit in Photoshop command not transferring images for Photomerge or as Smart Objects.
    Note: Except for above, I'm running Lr 2.4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard without issue.

  • Does anyone know if Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 is compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Does anyone know if Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 is compatible with Snow Leopard?

  • Adobe CS compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6?

    I have an IMac running OS 10.4.11 and would like to finally upgrade to Snow Leopard. Is Adobe CS (the original as in illustrator version 11) compatible with Snow Leopard? I want to make sure my entire creative suite will work before I upgrade. I can't afford to update my adobe suite too.

    I was using CS2 when I upgraded to Snow Leopoard, and while it worked, it didn’t work great. It was unstable (InDesign crashed repeatedly), and anytime I tried to do anything in Photoshop that changed all the pixels in a large image (i.e. gaussian blur, despeckle, etc.), it took forever. If you don’t plan on upgrading to CS5 anytime soon, you might want to keep a separate partition with Tiger, just to run Adobe CS1/2/whatever.

  • Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard? Project burns fine, simulates fine, works on my two macs (mac pro & macbook pro networked) but when I put the dvd in to a dvd played hooked to a tv it doesn't recoginize it and says "this disc connot be played"!

    It's your set top DVD player that won't play the disk...  That or it's the type of disk that you're using.
    Make sure it's a DVD-R.  That's a MINUS. 
    They pretty much work in all set top DVD players. 
    The reason your computers play the dvd's is simply because your computer knows what to do with all types of media.  Something else to consider could be the optical read capability on your computer is better than that of your DVD player.  Perhaps the DVD is a poor quality disk.  You computer can read it because it has a higher quality optical pickup unit.
    First things first, take your DVD to a place that sells DVD players and try it in a new player.  That'll tell you whether or not the disk actually works.

  • Is Microsoft Office 2004 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I am just about to buy a new MacBook Pro and would like to transfer the Microsoft Office 2004 programme & all my Word/powerPoint/Excel files from my old MacBook (OS 10.4.11). One local vendor tells me MS2004 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and I have to spend c$250 to buy the Office 2008 version. Another says they are compatible and I can easily transfer. It is important to me as I need to use the Office for my work.
    1.Which is correct?
    2. And are there an significant advantages to the new 2008 Office version which would encourage me to upgrade and spend $250?

    Hi a:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I have been running Microsoft Office 2004 for quite awhile. On my system, it runs just fine. I use both Word and Excel and it does read PowerPoint presentations.
    I have read the posts on the Apple Store part of this site and have shied away from Office 2008 because of some negative feedback. Functionally, I could not see any difference from the written material. Since Office 2004 was working just fine, I did not buy the 2008 product.

  • Is my Imac compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Hi, I have been reading through the posts trying to find a solution for the strange things my computer is doing (or rather, NOT doing) since I installed Snow Leopard.
    I read that SL is not compatible with all machines... Could anyone tell me if my machine DOES qualify? Could an "incompatability" be the source of my computer strangeness?
    When I click on "About this Mac" I am told I have "Mac OS X Version 10.6" (but it does not specify which version of 10.6). Is that normal?
    My Hardware Overview is :
    Model Name: iMac

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT!!!

    Could an "incompatability" be the source of my computer strangeness?
    Most definitely. Quite a few applications & other kinds of software are compatible with one version of an OS but not with the next. Without a clue about what kind of "strangeness" you are experiencing, it is hard to make specific recommendations, but you should make sure everything you have installed that did not come from Apple is the most up-to-date version offered & known to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • Is FCX HD compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Just upgraded to a new iMac and I have a need to use FCXHD for a project that iMovie won't handle (syncing multiple video tracks). I haven't been using FCXHD for awhile now I need to install on the new iMac. Is it compatible with snow leopard? I ready to buy the upgrade but wouldn't mind saving $99. Plus, when I originally purchased FCXHD they released FCX4 the following week...sigh. LOL
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Only the current version is supported on Snow Leopard.

  • Is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard?

    is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard? can you use the same version of iTunes

    VMware and Toaster can be upgraded to versions that will run on Mountain Lion.
    I was not able to find anything on PalmPilot for Mountain Lion. Of course seeing as how it is at least 15 years old that doesn't surprise me.
    As I see you want to run two operating systems which means rebooting to use them just for PalmPilot. IMHO that is a lot of effort on your part for a very small gain.

  • Is iMovie '06 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I've read too many posts indicating difficulties with an upgrade to Snow Leopard but probably just as many from people who have had success. I'm always slow to update operating systems however it seems like more and more applications require Leopard (or SL) to run. I'm still on Tiger, love it, but am forced to upgrade in order to run current apps. My biggest concern is for iMovie 6.03 which I will never give up for the lame versions of imovie that succeeded it. So my question is, is iMovie 6.03HD compatible with Snow Leopard or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?

    I see you have not yet marked your topic "Answered", so perhaps you are hoping for other input.

    It works fine on both my Snow Leopard (SL) Macs.
    ... or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?
    As concerned as you are, and as important as iMovie6 seems to be to you, unless you must use some of the new apps or OS features that require upgrading, you might be better served by continuing to use your existing and proven reliable Tiger OS.
    Your next Mac will come with the OS that maximizes its performance. Until then, you save at least $169(US), and keeping the Tiger OS that you KNOW works eliminates all of you worries.
