iphoto for osx 10.6.8

Contact the Mac App Store support or find and purchase an iLife 11 DVD.

You do not need to purchase anything - just install iPhoto from its source (the restore disks that came with your system, the upgrade DVD you purchased or the App Store) and update as needed

LN

All of the versions available on the system disks are incompatible as stated above(presumably too old), Mac OS X retail DVDs don't contain iLife, and the current Mac App Store version requires an OS newer than the one Zack is running.

Unless he has lost the disks that came with his system or if he upgraded has lost the DVD tha he purchased to upgrade then one of his disks will restore iLife/iPhoto

LN

Not the OS upgrade (10.6.8 is an OS upgrade - OS upgrades hae nothing to do with iPhoto) - iPhoto (and iLife come on the original system restore disks - if you have upgraded iPhoto (or iLife) via DVD then that is where you install from - if you purchased from the App store then you should be able to restore the version you pruchased (although it sound like that may not be working for people) - if not of those work then contact Apple support because they should

And system retore disks are specific to the system they came with so you need to find the ones for this system

Or you can purchase the iLife DVD on Amazon or Ebay if you choose

LN

if none of those work then contact Apple support because they should [work]

Or you can purchase the iLife '11 DVD on Amazon or Ebay if you choose

I had a similar problem. I installed Snow Leopard, and after that I could not open iPhoto. I even had it backed up in 3 different places, but none of them could open it either. I finally took my iMac into the Apple store, and after trying and trying, the 'Genius' downloaded iPhoto '09 (vers. 8.1.2), and now it works perfectly. He actually downloaded the entire iLife suite, but I haven't used any of the other apps yet.

See if you can find iPhoto '09, or take you Mac into an Apple store.

Do any of the system install disks that came with your Mac have a disk like one of these?

What you're looking for is an installer package like the "install Bundled Software" one in these screenshots. If you have it you can install the iLife version that came with your Mac. Then apply any updaters needed.

If the updater won't launch you can use Pacifist to extract and install iPhoto from the disk onto your Mac. If you can't get it to work take it to an Apple Store along with your various disks and have a Genius do it for you.

For what it's worth iPhoto 7 (08), 8 (09) and 9 (11) [if your computer has an intel processor] will run on 10.6.8.

Zack, Had the same problem and called support and m fixed (15 minutes start to finish) Support had me

Click on the photo and show info, look at what it was opening with to confirm QuickTime was selected and it was. They then had me click on open with and look for the [Utilities] folder and look for Quick Time 7 there. My Util fold did not have it and they sent me a quick link to download it. Once I downloaded, I followed the same steps to 'open with' and selected the QT in the Utilities folder and I was on my way. I was able to get support for no cost as I had also recently puchased the upgrade from Tiger to Snow/Leopard/Lion.

Hopefully that helps in your situation as well.

Cheers,

Jackson
