Want to upgrade my existing iPhoto 6 to version 9. Have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 so it should be possible, but how?

want to upgrade existing iPhoto 6.0.6 to version 9 so that I can download photos from my smartphone.  apple info says if iPhoto came preloaded on my Mac (it did) that it should automatically tell me about upgrades... but here I sit.....  it directs me to buy iLife11! any ideas?

That update won’t install onto iPhoto 6. It requires that an earlier version of iPhoto 9 be present and in its original location.

  • I want to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard. When trying to back-up to a WD 1 TB external drive, the back-up process stalls at about 4 GB. Grateful for any clues to assist with the backup issue please.

    I want to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard, then to Lion. When trying to back-up to a WD 1 TB external drive, the back-up process stalls at about 4 GB download. I would be very grateful for any clues to assist with the back-up process please.

    That disk is very probably formated as FAT 32, the normal format for PCs. FAT 32 cannot support files larger than 4 GB; also, it corrupts some types of Mac OS files. If you want to securely backup your mac files, you must have a disk prepared for Mac OS.
    Therefore, open Disk Utility, choose again 1 partition for your external disk and, under Options, GUID partition map (it may also be a boot disk for an intel mac), then format it as Mac OS Extended Journaled. Y0u are done.
    If you want to exchange data with PCs, you should chose Master Boot REcord and NTFS format, for this you must use a additional utility like NTFS-3G. But note that mac files may also get corrupt in NTFS format.

  • HT1338 How to view iphoto library (version 9) in snow leopard

    Hi
    I recently installed OSX Lion and then upgraded iphoto to the latest update.
    My Macbook became so slow since the upgrade to Lion I backed up my iPhoto library and did a refresh install of Snow Leopard.
    My Macbook works quickly again now but when I dragged my iPhoto library into the Pictures folder and then opened iPhoto I get a message saying my library has had changes to it and now I must install the latest version of iPhoto.  I don't mind this but the App Store says I need Lion to get the newest version on iPhoto.
    I don't want to install Lion because it makes my Macbook too slow.
    Any ideas how I can get to see all my photos in my iPhoto library?  I don't care what version of iPhoto I use.  I just don't want to lose my photos or upgrade to Lion.
    Help!!
    Thanks.
    Jon

    Thanks for your quick response.
    My back up was: I copied the iPhoto Library icon from the Pictures folder located on my hard drive.
    All I want to do is copy all the events back into iPhoto.  I opened the Package Content but all I see is folders labelled with numbers, years, months, days etc.  That will be an absolute nightmare to re organise!
    Is there a way to convert my library back to what it was?
    Thanks
    Jon

  • I want to erase everything on the hard drive and have snow leopard which is the operating system now left

    i just brought a laptop on ebay with snow leopard on it and alot of programs i dont want. i want to erase everthing and end up with the snow leopard amd i can buy ilife which i want.

    Erase and Install Snow Leopard
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting is complete quit DU and complete the Snow Leopard installation.

    i have an iphone 4 with 4.3.2 version, want to upgrade but my phone is not getting detected on my comp  on itunes. i want to upgrade it to the latest version of the software, please help

    If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
    Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US is the article to use if you want to concentrate on trying to get a particular computer to recognize your phone

  • I have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly

    i have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly but i want to update from itunes.iwill do back up but is there any other thing i will face after updating like it will jut show apple loge and will not work. please answer quickly

    An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible.  The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone. 
    Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

    2. OS X Lion and Mountain Lion aren't compatible with PowerPC applications. After upgrading, if you have a PowerPC application (as Office 2004, AppleWorks, old Final Cut Pro editions, etc.), they will be moved to a special folder and they will stop working. Check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you are unable or unwilling to update to Intel versions of your PowerPC applications (if you have any), you can install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion and continue to use most PowerPC applications concurrently with Lion or Mt. Lion:
