Will Snow Leopard update from iPhoto '09 to '011?

On my iMac I use iLife '09 and was going to upgrade iPhoto to '011 but it looks from the App Store as though I need OS v10.7.5 whereas I am on 10.6.8. I know somebody who has the same OS as mine and also runs iPhoto '011 but on v9.2.3. Will the latest version of v9.4.2 work with Snow Leopard?

What scanner is it? Have you checked the developer's website to see if they offer drivers for Lion or Mt. Lion?

Snow leopard update lost iPhoto

Hi
Sorry but the preamble is a bit long.
My son gave me his mac mini - great. Had installed windows on it instead of snow leopard (why???).
He had bought the Snow leopard update disc - Mac came with Leopard.
I want Snow leopard.
I inserted the Snow leopard disc and installed it fine.
Where has iPhoto gone?
I think it's on the original Leopard disc but it's not in the optional instals.
The Mac will not boot from the Leopard disc (I suspect because it's the previous OS).
Can anyone help?
I realise that I should have installed the original Leopard disc before the Snow Leopard update.
Thanks
Chris

This is only true for the special Snow Leopard upgrade discs that are not retail products. One example is the white "CPU Drop-in DVD" that came with some Macs manufactured shortly after Snow Leopard was released or still may come with some refurbished older Mac models that Apple sometimes sells. All these Macs originally came with Leopard installed (& that is what their included grey system discs install). The "drop in" disc allows users to upgrade these Macs to Snow Leopard but does require Leopard to be installed first for licensing reasons.
I received one of these discs in the box with the refurbished 2008 20" iMac I bought from Apple. You can't mistake it for a retail disc -- although both are white & have the same Snow Leopard picture on them, the "CPU Drop-in DVD" label & the "not to be sold separately" notice make it clear it isn't a retail product.

Unable to install snow leopard (update from Tiger)

Yeah, I know, it's not exactly an original thread title. I'm running 10.4.11 on a Macbook. As far as I know I meet all the requirements except that I don't think I'll be able to benefit from OpenCL. Anyway, I got the yellow caution icon and a message saying I need to run disk utility and do a GUID partition but I'll lose all data. I don't have a backup so that's not a good option for me. I thought I saw a thread somewhere describing this problem at one of the other Mac sites but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone assist?

Not my intention to start so much consternation. I was just venting my disappointment. Actually, If I were to back up everything, I'd need at least 100 gigs of space, which leaves me 60 gigs. That might be a bit much for DVDs, etc. No worries. It may take me a month or two but I'll eventually get an external drive. That's been on my list of need to do for far too long anyway. I know how it is to lose everything as that happened to me not long ago. If I were to be selective, I could probably get away with just backing up about 60 gigs. but the conventional wisdom seems to be you need at least one half more space than what you back up, right? So I need a 200-250 gig external drive, I think. I also need a backup scenario for my Linux and Windows boxes but I want to start with the Mac since it's my primary machine. I'm just frustrated I've been unemployed so long but I'm not alone in that I'm sure, Well I guess that's it for now.

Will Snow Leopard run older PPC software, pre-universal binary stuff?

Hi there
I know this is probably the most stupid question in the world, and I know that Snow Leopard dropped support for PPC and is intel only.
Does this mean that I could no longer run my CS2, MS Office 2004 and Quark 6.5 (as none of these were universal binary apps, and are all written for PPC architecture)? Or is it just SL will only install on Intel macs?
Thanks in advance

PPC is supported, but there are some PPC applications that are too old for Snow Leopard. You should check all that you use for the latest info BEFORE updating. I think there are problems with CS2. It is not officially supported in Leopard, but may work there. CS3 is not officially supported, but does work.
Is there a 'best' way to upgrade? clean install and retrieve data from time machine backup? Complete rebuild? Install over the top of Leopard?
Any method should work if your applications are up to date, and your existing system has no problems. If your current system is old, though, it may have some forgotten applications or modifications that could cause upgrade problems.
The safest way (but more work) is to erase the drive, install Snow Leopard, update to 10.6.2, copy just user accounts and data from your Time Machine backup, and install the latest versions of applications.
If possible, make a bootable backup of your system drive before you start. That will protect you against any possible problems with the Time Machine backup.

Snow Leopard Update Broke 2 Printers (Samsung, Brother)

One of the Snow Leopard updates has broken both of my printers. Both are hard-wired network printers that previously worked fine.
1. Brother HL-5250DN B/W laser
- When I print HTML pages, the page background color defaults to black, so I get a solid black page with graphics stuck in. I first noticed this in Safari; changing the "print backgrounds" setting doesn't fix the problem. I then saved a page (www.apple.com) to HTML source and tried printing it from other apps. Firefox & Text Edit both had the same problem. MS Word (Office 2004) did not.
- If I create a PDF file from a web page in Safari, then print it using Preview, the problem occurs. If I print it using Photoshop Elements, it prints correctly.
Note that images LOOK fine. The all-black background only occurs when printing.
2. Samsung CLX-3170 Color Laser
No matter what I try to print, I always get the same error: "couldn't create rgb colorspace". I have searched both these forums and the web and can't even find a description of what might be causing this (although may Mac owners seem to be having variations of the problem).
3. Troubleshooting -- What I have tried (systematically, multiple times)
- Re-installed latest printer drivers from Manufacturer's sites
- Installed Gutenprint 2.4 CUPs drivers
- Repaired permissions
- Reset the Print subsystem and re-installed all printers
- Tried different printer drivers where available (the Brother has a BR-script driver)
- Run OS X software update
- Restarted my system
- Removed printer-related items from Logon
- Reset Safari
- Run Onyx and cleaned all caches and nearly everything else
4. I have an iMac G5 running 10.5.8. It prints all of the above to both printers with no problems.
At this point I'm starting to wonder how well Windows 7 might run on my iMac... (only half kidding).
I've wasted hours on this problem. I hope that someone at Apple has a solution.

If you are using the Brother driver, have you tried using the Generic PostScript PPD as a workaround?

Which driver are you using when adding the printer? Have you tried the other one? Samsung has SL drivers for this model, so you shouldn't have to use the Gutenprint driver.
I hope that someone at Apple has a solution.
Apple doesn't write the drivers, so if using the Generic PostScript PPD or switching drivers doesn't work, you might have better luck contacting Brother and Samsung.

Updating from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08

1. If I update from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08 am I going to lose all my Albums?
2. When I export an album to a desktop file to burn it to a disk readable by TVs etc, the photos don't appear in the order that they are in the album. What have I done wrong?

Mauda
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. If I update from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08 am I going to lose all my Albums?
No. But always back up prior to an update. However your library will be fine and exactly as you expect.
2. When I export an album to a desktop file to burn it to a disk readable by TVs etc, the photos don't appear in the order that they are in the album. What have I done wrong?
How did you layout the album? Drag the pics into order, for instance? The Finder, which decides the order when you export works on a strictly alpha-numeric basis. The trick is to title the pics in iPhoto and use those titles as filenames on export. I iPhoto 08 this is done in the File -> Export dialogue. I'm not sure how this is done in v4.

Ipod doesn't show up after snow leopard update

since i made the snow leopard update my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes, in iPhoto it still works... any ideas to solve my problems?

First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...

And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before connecting the iPod to your Mac.

IPhone Will Not Sync 'Events' from iPhoto

My iPhone 3G will only load 'albums' from iPhoto, but not 'events'. I prefer to manage my photos using events, how do i ensure that when i load photos into my iPhone, that they are loaded as events. Currently, the only way i can access new photos is by going into 'last import' or by sifting through my entire library.

Hvaing the same problem on my iPad since iTunes and ios5 upgrade - hoping for some updates from Apple to resolve problem - research has shown we are not alone!

Imac i5 snow leopard update

Hi I bought an imac i5 27inch just before xmas 09. No problems. I bought the snow leopard update today ($40 from Harvey Norman) and tried to install it. Initially it started ticking over. It initially said 45 miniutes to install. Then I went back about 5 mins later than it said 49 mins to install. I then came back about an hour later and there was a white screen with the apple logo. I left it for another hour.....just the same. So I switched it off and on with the power button. White screen reappeared. Left it for two hours and no change. Took out all the peripherals. Switched it off and on....and left it for 5 hours....still the same. The mac does not respond. I cannot get the snow leopard disc out. Not sure what to do. The imac is getting quite hot (like it is doing something) when it is on....I have now switched it off. I would very grateful for any ideas. This imac was not loaded up with much.....most of the hard drive is free and there is extra (apple) RAM.

I don't understand why you bought a Snow Leopard upgrade disk. The 27" iMac i5, introduced in October of 2009, comes with Snow Leopard installed. Are you sure your iMac is the one described in this Technical Specification?
If so, the retail Snow Leopard DVD, released several months before it, does not fully support the hardware in your iMac & you should only reinstall the OS if needed using the system discs that came with your iMac.

After OS X Snow Leopard update. Why doesn't quick time doesn't load?

after OS X Snow Leopard update. Why doesn't quick time doesn't load?

Try installing the 10.6.8 Combo update which contains all the latest updates for that OS. Be aware that there appears to be no further support for Snow Leopard.

If you have done it before it will do no harm. Indeed it is known to repair some minor blemishes in your system.

HT5037 Unable to initiate updater from iPhoto 7 to iPhoto '11.

After downloading and installing the iPhoto Updater (to update from iPhoto 7.1), the system will not allow updating to the new iPhoto despite having upgrading to Mavericks and downloading iPhoto '11.
I installed OS X Mavericks. Then I downloaded iPhoto '11. When trying to open iPhoto '11 I get a message "To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple."
I go to the link, install the updater (the system confirms the updater was installed successfully), but now I am stuck...When I try to open iPhoto '11 again (NB: the old iPhoto icon is gone), I get the message "To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." again...even though I just installed the updater.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting?
After speaking with Tech Support the updater can be found in the utilities folder.

Does the contents of the disk look like this in the Finder?
Click to view full size
That's a disk created via the Share ➙ Burn menu in iPhoto.

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc. Or do I have to install previous versions first. iMac 7.1 (2007) 2.8ghz

You can install directly, assuming the disk is newer than your computer and not designed for a different Mac, but doing so won't install iLife.

Help wanted! Can't boot Snow Leopard, neither from HD nor disc!

Hi.
I tried to install Windows in Bootcamp on my wife's MacBook Pro 15" 2.4Ghz (with OSX SL), but something went wrong in the process and I now want to start all over by erasing the Bootcamp partition entirely.
But, as I try to start up in MacOSX it just stops at the start sound over and over again.
Can't shortcut by force starting it from MacOSX (command-X), from disc (command-C) or as a firewire disc (command-T).
I also can't eject the Snow Leopard DVD from the drive bay.
All it does is trying to boot and making the start up sound over and over and over and....
Help is VERY much appreciated, please!

Try starting in Safeboot and see if you get any further. To eject the DVD hold the left mouse button of a wired mouse on startup.

HT4431 I'm updating from iPhoto 8.1.2 to 9.4.1 (Good luck!)

I'm updating from iPhoto 8.1.2. I have 9.4.1 and the other intermediary updates. What I am missing is 9.0.1. It does not seem to exist, though APple points to it on this page. When you click on the link, it takes you to 9.1. What now?

Gosh, Terence, if I knew that I needed to make a purchase, I'd not be posing a question here. I did already make a purchase, though it may not have been the correct one.
Before you read on, by all means, let me know what I need to purchase. I say that because the rest of my post is partly a rant, though a reasoned one.
So I've worked this issue both backwards and forwards. I bought the latest version of iPhoto, version 9.4.1. But when I booted it, i was told that I needed version 9.x.x. The older version kept asking for the next oldest version. OK. So I went the other way. I started with my own version: 8.1.2. I added updates 'til I arrived at this impasse: both the 8 series needed the very first 9 series and the oldest 9 series needed the very first 9 series. That version, acc to Apple, is called version 9.0.1. It doesn't exist on Apple's update/upload pages. I used Google to find a discussion of it. Great! Not only did I find a discussion, the writer was kind enough to hotlink "9.0.1" to the web page on which it, supposedly, was available. No such luck: Both times I tried, I got the same Apple page which did not offer 9.0.1, but only 9.1.
The goal: use iPhoto and Preview to edit my RAW files. I have downloaded the (free) latest update to do so. Now all I have to do is to get iPhoto (and Preview) to work.
If, when starting from 8.1.2, a purchase was needed, it sure would have been great had Apple made a note of it. If there was no way to get from 8.x.x to 9.x.x without a purchase, it sure would have been great had Apple made a note of it somewhere.
