Need iPhoto 8 or 9 for older iMac

Installed a copy of Snow Leopard on my mother-in-law's 2007 computer, but had to wipe the HD, which as corrupted to do so. I already tried to use her older bundled software to custom install the iPhoto software, but no luck. The install program gives a message saying that it cannot install this software and shuts down. What are my solutions to getting iPhoto back on this computer? Is there somewhere that I can get the older version of iPhoto? App Store will not let me install iPhoto 11 on the computer.

Your mother in law's iMac came with iLife 08 installed, iPhoto 7. You can use the demo version of Pacifist to install from the those disks. The run the appropriate updaters to get to 7.1.5 from Apple's Download site.
Note: iPhoto 7 will not run on Mavericks and can't order prints, books, etc. from Apple's print store. So if you think she might want to upgrade to Mavericks or order print products she'll need iLife 11 which will be about $40 at Amazon.com.

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

I need help reinstalling office for my iMac

I need to reinstall Office 2011 for my iMac. I downloaded it off the web and do not have the email that has the product key. I have found out how to uninstall it, but need to know how to reinstall it.
Thank you

Since Office is not an Apple product, contact MS support or post your question on the MS Mac forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting apple software update for Windows, and not related to MS Office in any way. The MS Mac forums are where the Mac Office gurus hang out.

HT4163 Need iPhoto 9.0 for Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I have an old macbook running 10.6.8. I want iPhoto version 9 ('11), but all I can find in the app store is version 9.3, which only runs on Lion. I want iPhoto for Snow Leopard. I can see no reason why Apple has forsaken Snow Leopard. There is no reason why the App store can't have version 9.0 so both Lion and Snow Leopard users can buy it and update it to suit individual needs. Does anyone know how to get version 9.0 for Snow Leopard online?

Just a follow-up. I did purchase iLife '09 on eBay and it works smoothly. A few hiccups. I mistakenly did an "upgrade install" of OS X, twice. "Upgrade installs" take a long, long time to do, and in the end, just don't work. It turned out that the utilities menu that I needed to access in order to reformat and do a "clean install' was pushed right off the screen where I could not see it, due to a faulty video driver matchup on the install disk. The result was that I wasn't sure what kind of install I was doing.
So, now I have a mini-Mac that works just like it used to, but really with no perceptible advantage to what I had before, just a few bucks lighter, and many hours of effort. The good news is that my older mini-Mac (read the Apple fine print carefully on which Intel processors do and don't work) will run Snow Leopard, albeit a little slower than Tiger. Hopefully, Apple technology and the various software upgrades required to browse the Internet will stay compatible with Snow Leopard for a while yet. But the Apple mini-Mac takes the cake for the poorest backward compatibility I've run across since I began with computers in the late 1960s.

Time Capsule as Hard Drive for older iMac

After upgrading to Snow Leopard on my MacBook, my family now has four laptops that can take advantage of time machine for wireless backups, so I want to buy time capsule to do that easily. Will I also be able to use it as a hard drive for an older non-intel iMac that can't be upgraded from Tiger to Leopard? In other words, will I be able to simply drag files to time capsule via ethernet or USB (no airport card on the iMac either!)

Through Ethernet. USB won't work.

Had this version, loved it. Mistakenly upgraded and replaced with 4, which cannot run on this architecture. Need to find earlier version again, can't locate it on your site. Please make available for us who have older macs.

Firefox 3.6.24 (Mac OS X 10.4 and later with PowerPC's) can be found here:

I need cleaner, drier air for my iMac

My 27 inch iMac and I live in tropical Mexico. This is a high heat, high humidity area, made even more hostile to electronics because we live ocean front. Our air has a high salt content. I have lost two iMacs to this environment. The last lost was very young, well within Apple's warranty, but all is void if the internal sensors turn red, indicating condensed liquid.
Often, when I start up my newest iMac, I can see that the inside of the screen is fogged. This eventually defogs but obviously, my machine is wet inside and probably not long for this world. (A crusted up, damaged power supply has been the diagnosed problem previously. Too expensive to fix.)
Can someone tell me please, which vents suck air and which expel?
I know that if I attach something to blow cleaner, drier air into my iMac, I will wind up with something clunky looking, but I cannot afford to replace these iMacs every 9 or so months.
For starters, I have bought a large canister of desiccant. I am not sure how it might be of use... Actually, I am totally unsure of how to proceed.
Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
Tom

I apologize if I seemed to shout down the AC option, which is definitely a more complete solution. And losing $2000 of computers due to cheaping-out on the environmental solution is not wise.
I just thought that if the device needs to run 24/7, lower power draw in a dehumidifier may still do enough, especially if there is already central AC that just needs help.
But I live in only semi-humid Ohio, so I am probably completely out of my depth.

Do I need to buy Pages for my iMac?

I am trying to learn if I need to buy the ios Pages for $9.99 only and use it on iPad/iPhone/iMac, or must I also purchase the iWork Pages $19.99?

The iOS version of Pages will only work on your iDevices.
The OS X version of Pages will only work on your Macs.
So if you want to work with Pages both on your Macs and your iDevices then you need to purchase both of them.

TV out for older iMac 800

Hi all,
I've got a 17" iMac 800 that I'm looking to hookup to a TV. I've got an array of inputs to play with on the TV, so I'm looking at s-video right now.
I know there is an adapter that takes the mini-VGA port and outputs direct to s-video/composite, but I don't think that works with the 800mhz model (at least all the literature says 1ghz or higher). So do I need to get the regular VGA adapter and get a converter from there?
Ideally the Apple Video Adapter would be the best option, but I don't think that will work. Anyone do this with an iMac 800?

So do I need to get the regular VGA adapter and get a converter from there?
Yes you will need the Apple VGA Display Adapter (part M8639G/A) and a device called a "scan converter".
Ideally the Apple Video Adapter would be the best option, but I don't think that will work.
You are correct that will not work. See KB 88282, iMac (Flat Panel): About the VGA Port.

I need audio system recommendations for my iMac.

I have a large iTunes library on my iMac and currently listen to it through a Yamaha receiver with two Cerwin-Vega speakers and an Infinity sub. Although the receiver is designed for surround sound, I just use the stereo mode for music. It puts out 130 watts per channel although I use it in a small 12 x 14 office in my home. I would like to upgrade my sound system for the Mac if there is something available that is just killer for this application.

Yes, a dedicated stereo integrated amplifier would have discrete electronic components, as opposed to the "chip" circuitry in your Yamaha surround receiver. I myself use a Denon discrete integrated amplifier and it sounds far more lifelike and images far better than the Denon receiver it replaced. There is a limit as to how far you can improve your sound though in that iTunes songs are recorded and played at less than CD quality and there is no way around that without directly ripping from CD's using a lossless format. So, to sum up, yes you have definite possibilities for improving your listening experience. And I might recommend if you are interested in saving money that you research on http://www.audiogon.com for quality used components sold by other audiophiles who themselves are upgrading. I've purchased and sold on the site for years. It's the eBay of audio only components.
And, Yes, to your Question 1.
Hope this helps

Airplay for Older iMacs

I hace iMac 2009, running 10.8.4
I understand that with newer iMacs you can now mirror your desktop to Apple TV. Is there a way, an add on, an app, something, that will enable older iMas like mine to enable it to be mirrored to my Apple TV (Black box)?
Thanks,
Jassy

Upgrading RAM for older iMac

Hello, sorry if this has been asked a million times over. I am going to upgrade my iMac to OS X Tiger from 10.2.8 and thought I would upgrade the memory at the same time. I have never bought memory for a computer before so I have a few questions.
1. Where can I buy it, just anywhere online, it will just work (as long as it for the right computer)?
2. Do I have to fit two memory pieces of the same value, I currently have 256MB, but was thinking of going to 1GB, so would this be two at 512MB?
3. Finally how do I actually do it!
Many thanks.

Kappy,
I'm sorry to do it this way, but I wanted to contact you - as I remember you'd been very helpful with my prior questions - and I didn't see any other way to do so. I know it has nothing to do with this thread...I'm just hopeful that you're still monitoring the topic.
When you get a chance, would you be so kind as to read the below post for me? I'd be extremely grateful!
