Pages 4.2 update doesn't run with Snow Leopard

I keep both Montain Lion and Snow Leopard on the same computer, different partitions. After upgrading Pages this week, it no longer runs under Snow Leopard. The icon changes and a launch message says I can't use this version with Snow Leopard. It looks like this is true of all the iWorks apps. This is the first time I recall the iWorks suite not being backwards compatible.
My advice is to keep a backup copy or older iWorks releases if you need to run Snow Leopard. The App store only has the Mountain Lion version so I can't just download the SnowLeopard compatible version.

The same exact thing happened to me. I have a thread on this same issue but no one has responded. Did you find a way around this?

Aperture doesn't run with Snow Leopard

I just bought a new 17" MacBook Pro and installed Aperture2. When I go to open the program I get a message that I have Aperture2 and can't run it on this computer. Huh?

I installed Aperture2 prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. Updated Aperture 2.1.4
Problem arises VIEW browser/viewer, select a thumbnail picture, Aperture opens first picture fine, then if I scroll through other thumbs or quickly select a new thumb, it thinks about it for 2-3 minutes. All pics are NEF and about 2-3mb each. The processing time to open pictures progressively gets longer. Sitting waiting for the picture to open in Viewer is ridiculously long. I do regular software updates.

Apple store told me it would work but be slow. I recognize minimum OS is 2Mhz

Tried to run a CD I had run with Snow Leopard. Now (with Lion) getting a message that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.. How do I overcome this? Thanks

Well Lion does not support power PC applications. They only way is to upgrade the application, or if your have SL disks, reinstall SL.

FYI: New version of Disk Warrior seems to hang when run with Snow Leopard

FYI: It seems that the new version of Disk Warrior hangs when run in Snow Leopard

I have been using DW 4.2 on 10.5.8 and the speed-up was the first thing I noted, too, so it isn't just SL.
Now if it would only 'come up for air' and respond to input to move window (so I can put it where I can see it if needed) I'd like that.
There is a 23 page review of Snow Leopard on Ars. On page 22:
People sometimes ask what, exactly, is wrong with HFS+.
Aside from its obvious lack of the features just listed, HFS+ is limited in many ways by its dated design, which is based on HFS, *a twenty-five year-old file system.*
To give just one example, the centrally located Catalog File, which must be updated for each change to the file system's structure, is a frequent and inevitable source of contention. Modern file systems usually spread their metadata around, both for robustness (multiple copies are often kept in separate locations on the disk) and to allow for better concurrency.
Practically speaking, think about those times when you run Disk Utility on an HFS+ volume and it finds (and hopefully repairs) a bunch of errors. *That's bad, okay?* +*That's something that should not happen*+ with a modern, thoroughly checksummed, always-consistent-on-disk file system unless there are hardware problems (and a ZFS storage pool can actually deal with that as well). And yet it happens all the time with HFS+ disks in Mac OS X when various bits of metadata to get corrupted or become out of date.
Apple gets by year after year, tacking new features onto HFS+ with duct tape and a prayer, but at a certain point there simply has to be a successor—whether it's ZFS, a home-grown Apple file system, or something else entirely. My fingers are crossed for Mac OS X 10.7.
If Disk Utility was reliable in mapping out weak sectors (it is not) and report/log errors. But it doesn't and I trust my data to other file systems when possible. We've come to expect and depend on 3rd party utilities and that Apple First Aid doesn't fix every possible error.
Scanning one drive for errors can take a long time. Maybe it needs to be done, maybe in the background. With 2TB drives it gets worse. Spending hours to scan for errors??? I've set TechTool Pro to concurrently scan anywhere from one to a dozen volumes at once.
An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

Lightroom 5 doesn't run on Snow Leopard

I'm sure this is well know amongst readers here but I had no idea until after I purchased and tried to install. Now waiting for a refund. How did I miss this? I've used Lightroom for over 4 years. I read all the reviews of the beta and now the release of Lightroom 5. Somehow I failed to notice that the program won't run on Snow Leopard on the Mac. Amazing! I haven't wanted to upgrade my Mac OS for multiple reasons. Now I'm on a dead end road with Lightroom. I'll have to figure that out. My oversight but I wish that Adobe and the reviewers had made this fact more obvious. Maybe they did. I'm disappointed.

There’s usually a System Requirements section on the LR purchase pages.
Trying out the beta and trying out LR in Trial mode are the ways to avoid such issues.

Pages 1.0.2 won't work with Snow Leopard

I have my Pages 1.0.2 in the iWork folder within Applications. It seems to start but is unresponsive to any commands. I tried to update because I'm using Snow Leopard, but the update tells me it cannot find an "eligible" Pages within the iWork folder. Why is my pages ineligible for an update to Snow Leopard?

Welcome to the Apple forums
I just answered a similar question here the other day.

Dictionary App doesn't work with Snow Leopard

Hey, just upgraded my Macbook from leopard to Snow leopard and now the apple dictionary app is too out dated. Where can I find an update for this app so that it'll work with snow leopard?

Not sure why the proper Dictionary didn't install with the upgrade. One option is to install it now from the disc using Pacifist.
Read Kappy's instructions for using.

IPhoto - Video playing doesn't work with Snow Leopard.

Under Leopard, I use to be able to download photos and small video content from my camera straight into iPhoto. If I wanted to play a video in iPhoto, I just use to double click and Quicktime would open and play the video. Now, with Snow Leopard, nothing happens when I do this. Am I doing something stupid or is this another bug?
Thanks.

For anybody who stumbles across this thread from Google:
I had the same issue using iPhoto '08 after upgrading to 10.6. I found a CNet article that describes the fix, which is basically that we have to re-install Quicktime 7 for use with '08 from the "Optional Installs" on the Snow Leopard disc, so you will end up with both Quicktime 10 and Quicktime 7 on your computer.
The instructions are here:

After software update for Lexmark printer, cannot print document as a file is missing. My iMac runs with Snow Leopard.

I have a Lexmark 3500 - 4500 series printer connected to my iMac via USB (as my iMac won't do the printing wirelessly. My iMac runs with Mac OS X, Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.8.
A few days ago, there were several software updates that I have installed as there was mention that they were for Mac OS X Lion.
Today, I tried to print a document, and it failed. The error message was: "Missing component: /Library/Printers/Lexmark/Drivers/.Resources/3500-4500 Series Color 2.lut".
I have re-installed the software from Lexmark without success.
Has anyone had a similar issue who can advise me, please?
Thank you.
Philippe

Have you tried installing the Lexmark software from the Apple site:
Lexmark Printer Drivers v2.4 for Mac OS X v10.6
You are running 10.6 which the above link is for, maybe Lion (10.7) doesn't need everything that 10.6 does. Try re-installing using the above link.

I have iPhone 4 with newest update and Mac laptop with Snow Leopard and current version of iTunes. When I hook the phone up via USB, iPhoto pops open and reads the pictures for import, but iTunes doesn't do anything. Not seeing the device as a USB, either

Sorry, thought that was the body of the question, so the title is long. When I plug in my iPhone 4 (newest update) into my Mac laptop (current version of iTunes, Snow Leopard), it does not read the music, apps, etc., or open iTunes at all. It syncs the pictures, but it doesn't not show as a USB device, either. I have gone through the Troubleshooting assistant, restarting both comp and laptop, using different USB ports, etc. If it is of note, when I look at the option to Sync through Wifi on the phone, it says that sync will happen when my computer (by name) is "available." Not sure if this is a phone issue or laptop, leaning towards laptop, since iPhoto syncs. Willing to buy Lion if that will fix the problem! I would appreciate any help that is given.
Regards,
Lindsey

You have written a very long story, and I admit I have skipped most of it. But I think the question is you are on iOS 7, and cannot get the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) on your computer because your OS X is too old.
The fact that you chose not to update your hardware does not mean you could not update your software!
OS X 10.5 is very old (about four years). iTunes 11.1.5 (current version) requires at least OS X 10.6.8 to run. Very likely, you could upgrade your computer's software to at least OS X 10.6.8 and then download the current iTunes on it.
You would start here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then you would update the OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.6.8 over the air, then download iTunes (or update to a later OS X, as the current version is 10.9.2).

Photo Editing, Photoshop elements 4.0 doesn't work with snow leopard?

Tried reinstalling photoshop elements after upgrading to snow leopard and message came back not compatible. ? , what version is that doesn't break you wallet and can do some decent photo editing including cutting and removing parts of images, pasting, etc. thanks

The latest version, 8, can be had for around $79, and is an amazing editor for the price. If you're not familiar with it's features I suggest you visit the site and see what it can do. Here's a list of several editors that support layers for editing:
Image Editors that support the use of layers:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $80
GraphicConverter- $35
Rainbow Painter - $30
Acorn- $50
Seashore- Open Source
IMO PSE gives you more bang for the buck. If I didn't have Photoshop (given to me) I would buy it in a second. Version 8 has more features that I use than PS CS3.

QUICBOOKS 2007 doesn't run under snow leopard

My register now says I have made deposits of $8, 456, 782.4301 AND they were made on 2/03/36. Intuit says "too bad so sad, we are going to release a patch for QB 2009 for MAC that MAY fix the problem, we won't support 2007"
Bottom line, snow leopard has been the buggiest and worst OS installation on a MAC EVER! What a joke. It's getting more like WINDOZE every day. I frankly never bought windoze updates until I had to because they were always a mess but apple was great and I never worried. This has been and continues to be a nightmare.

I wouldn't blame Apple and this is Intuit's fault. Most of Apple's partners had either confirmed their apps would work with 10.6 or have published ETAs for fixes. Intuit did neither and is apparently using the shipment of 10.6 to force people like you and I to upgrade to QB2009. (I also have QB2007). Intuit has consistently underperformed vis a vis Mac users....Intuit competitors should see this as a great opportunity. I'll not buy an Intuit product again.
Oh, and re: 10.6....I've installed this OS on three MBP, all installed without issue and users have had no problems. Total time, 2 1/2 hours. I once "upgraded" 15 PC to Vista, which took more than a week and some of the laptops were never the same again.

Canon 5600f scanner doesn't work with Snow Leopard

Please someone help - I made the mistake of upgrading to snow leopard. My new Canon 5600f scanner now does not work. Pop up says it has wrong driver. OK.. Downloaded EVERY Canon driver possible + the updated Navigator EX 2.0 software. Note I HAVE downloaded these files, specifically for this model of scanner, specifically for snow leopard: http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010652.asp. I have rebooted the mac about 4 times. Please, what am i doing wrong?!

Pahu,
I too upgraded to Snow Leopard last night and have been having trouble with my 5600F all day. I'm glad I can still use the scanner in the Image Capture tool, but I would like to use the MP Navigator EX as well. I downloaded:
Scanner Driver 14.8.2
ICA Driver 1.1.1
ver Solution Menu 1.4.0
MP Navigator EX 2.0.4
MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener
and On Screen Help 1.10
The download area for the MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener reads "In Mac OS X 10.6, you will need to set up MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener with Image Capture before scanning using the Operation Panel or Scanner Buttons on the machine."
I'm having trouble setting up the opener in Image Capture. The scanner still scans beautifully through Image Capture, I would just like full functionality back. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Disk Utility won't run with Snow Leopard

I updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and now when I run Disk Utility.app it says that it is version 11.1 and will not run. I'm not sure why this app didn't update at the same time. Where can I download 11.5 Disk Utility?
Thanks!

make sure you are running the correct copy of DU. you likely have two copies and are trying to run the one which is not in the default location. in finder go to main hard drive->applications->utilities. start DU from there. if that's not it pull DU from the SL install DVD using Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/

No disrespect to you personally but we have no way of knowing what you might consider obvious. As often as not, when someone neglects to mention what they have already tried to solve a problem in an initial post, it turns out that they have overlooked trying something many of us would consider obvious, so experience has taught us to start there.
Beyond that, a lot of users are apparently just too lazy or lack the skill to look for answers on their own, not even bothering to search these forums for existing discussions relevant to their issue before firing off a terse post much like yours (lots of extra punctuation & some all caps shouting for emphasis but little info). That sort of thing strongly suggests that they haven't tried the obvious, whether it is true or not.
As it turns out, if you search this forum for "eSATA driver" you will find some very relevant topics in the top results, so you might want to check them out now.
