Q: Cannot buy IPhoto book with version 7.1.5. Can I save it and buy it from another newer mac? How do I save it?

Spent a lot of time creating an IPhoto book for Xmas gifts. When I went to purchase the books I was then told I was not able to buy any product because my IPhoto version was outdated. I tried to update to latest  IPhoto version but was then told I was not able to because my IOS operating system is too old.

I tried to update to Mavericks but I was told my Mac Mini is not able to accept the new operating system.

Looks like I need to just buy a new computer to buy some books huh?

Any other ideas? Thank you.

iPhoto '08, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    but was then told I was not able to because my IOS operating system is too old.

    ???

     

    1 - IOS is not a Mac system - it is only on mobile devices

     

    2 - teh version of the OS is not a determination of abiliby to purchase print products using iPhoto foe the Mac - teh version of iPhoto is the determining factor

     

    so are you saying that your version of iPhoto is too old? I think so

     

    You can run iPhoto '11 on OS X 10.6.8 - you must purchase an iLife '11 DVD (anazon or eBay are sources) and instal iPhoto '11 - the new version of iphoto will update your library (books may change some so

    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 ) - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

    I have a similar problem where I have created books but now cannot buy them. For background, I have ordered books before using this Mac, have Internet access and battery charge and have my correct country stated in the advanced preference settings. Any ideas?

    What is your iPhoto version?

    You need at least 'Photo '09, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412
