On the Mac app store, xCode is for versions 10.7 or later. I have 10.6.8 Is there a way to get an older version of xCode? or maybe update my computer?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Try this I think this will work on 10.6.8(Snow Leopard).

This requires a Developer registration where you have to update your profile. Is there anything else?
Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard is available via the https://developer.apple.com/ Dev Center for either iOS or Mac OS and requires being a paid developer to log in.
Iam not at the point of paying to become a developer, or even doing it for free. If there is no way to get an older version for free, is there a way to "update" my computer to 10.7? or is the computer permanently 10.6.8?
Lion costs money. Joining the Individual Developer Program costs money...
If you have Snow Leopard install DVDs, there should be an older version of developer tools on one of them.
All this requires money (computer, electricity, internet access, software, a desk, devices for testing), so I don't know where the conversation is headed other than you don't have it.
I can appreciate anyone on a budget, but there are no shortcuts around needing to make the required committments. No one here can help you take those steps but you.
You have completely misunderstood me! I can buy the products that I need. I do not want to get involved in a developer program though, as I stated in my last post that I wouldn't do it for free. I did not know which things to buy to update my computer, which is why I asked on this forum. I do have these things (computer, electricity, internet access, software, a desk, devices for testing). If you are annoyed with my question, then you are not required to answer. I do not mean to sound rude, but I was only asking a question, so a simple answer was all I needed.
Other than that, I do thank you for your answering my question and informing me that I would need to update to Lion.
Why is Xcode 5 free in the App Store?
You would need to ask Apple directly if you have a question about their offerings, etc.
Would you prefer it otherwise?
Older version of xCode?
