Versions of iMovie and iPhoto compatible with Snow Leopard

I finally managed to reinstall iMovie and iPhoto into the Snow Leopard side of my hard drive (I have partitioned it into Snow Leopard and
Mountain Lion). I want to use the last versions of both that are still compatible with Snow Leopard, but I don't want to download any updates that will take me into Mountain Lion territory.The iMovie version that I have downloaded is 8.0.4 (807), and the iPhoto version is 81 (415). What versions are only compatible with Mountain Lion?

Mende1,
If I understand you correctly, I can get the most advanced versions of iMovie and iPhoto in iLife 11. Furthermore, there is no danger of updating to the point that they will no longer be compatible with Snow Leopard. If I had known that before,I could have saved myself a great deal of trouble, and I could have done it long ago. Well, live and learn.

I want to download iPhoto compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I want to download iPhoto compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Which is the suitable version?

Thanks. No I don't own a version of iPhoto11, although I was using iPhoto on my iMac Duo2 (late 2006) - operating system Lion or Mountain Lion I seem to remember - until the hard drive packed up. A few days ago I bought a Snow Leopard installation DVD from Apple Shop online and yesterday successfully put it on a My Passport for Mac external drive (£49 from Maplin), a much cheaper option than replacing the internal hard drive. No-one from Apple Support had suggested this!!!
Everything is working fine but I am missing my iPhoto. iTunes downloaded free online works well. I have a packed-full Iomega portable hard drive which I had backed up using Time Machine for the past several years.
Do you think I could get a compatible iPhoto from this

Is iMovie 6.03 HD 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 still use iMove HD from iLife 06. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and it runs great for me. I use iPhoto, iDVD, & iMovie all from the iLife 06 Suite.
I do so because it just works. I constantly use the Timeline format, and within that form I easily trim, add sound effect, adjust volume, and other sound and audio modifications.
I will keep using it for as long as it's compatible.
I may get the next upcoming iLife suite because I want to better organize photos in iPhoto.

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.

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.
regards

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
Model Identifier: iMac6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2,16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB

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.

HT4864 I must install Snow Leopard to use iCloud fully. Is IMovie 6 and iDVD vs 7/0/4 compatible with Snow Leopard?

I must install Snow Leopard to use iCloud fully. Is IMovie 6 and iDVD vs 7.0/4 compatible with Snow Leopard?

You were misinformed. iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later. Snow Leopard is required to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion. See the following for the upgrade path and information to determine if your computer can be upgraded.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

FCE version 3.5 compatible with Snow Leopard?

I have a new Mac Pro running OS 10.6.2. Does anyone know whether Final Cut Express (version 3.5) is compatible with Snow Leopard? I really like that this version has Live Type and Soundtrack, which is why I want to install it, instead of upgrading to version 4. Thanks.

I believe FCE4 is technically the only version supported by Apple for use with Snow Leopard. (I'm sure Tom will correct me if I'm wrong!) That being said, many people have found that it still works.
If you upgrade to FCE4, the projects from the old version will work fine. However, you will not be able to open any FCE4 projects in your old FCE3.5 (you probably wouldn't want to anyway).

My Snow Leopard 10.6.3 has Safari 4.0.4 but this cannot be used for the new features of iTune. I tried upgrading to Safari 5.1.7 but it needs Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Where can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

Hi..

Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu > Software Update
Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.

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.

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.

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 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 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 VMWare Fusion 2.0.5 compatible with Snow Leopard?

Anyone knows if VMWare Fusion 2.0.5 is compatible with Snow Leopard?

I was able to get mine to boot by
1) loading my backup 10.5.8 onto an external disk as a bootable version
2) boot my MBP from the external
3) run vmware and do a shut down on the XP
4) copy the instance of XP from my external to my internal
5) I don't remember if I had to delete preferences or not... but I don't think so
We had to downgrade a couple of Mac Mini's to 10.5.8 to get them to run VMWare without having the system hang up with the black screen of restart death after between a few hours and 2 days of running. We are pretty rough with our code and have 2 instances of VMWare running 2 different XP's at the same time.
