How can I get iPhoto for OS 10.6.8 Computer?

Drag the iPhoto library as an unit; it doesn't matter if iPhoto will be installed before or after doing this, or even installed on the source computer. The library shouldn't be accessed or split manually.

iPhoto is keeping the photos organised in the iPhoto Library.

The iPhoto Library is by default in your Pictures folder and called "iPhoto Library". It has an icon like a fan of pictures.

Copy this library to the Pictures folder on your other Mac. After you install iPhoto on that Mac double-click the iPhoto Library to open it in iPhoto.

Copying the iPhoto library will transfer all your events, albums, photos etc. at once. It is a bundled package.

For earlier iPhoto versions looked the icon slightly different - more sunset coloured.

It is what your error log is showing.

This framework is no longer installed in the system library in the newer MacOS X versions, since Mavericks.

I cannot test this issue on my Macs, since I no longer have Snowleopard installed.

I am not sure how to find the iPhoto version without clicking on it in the dock. Is there a safer way? Thanks.

Select iPhoto in the Applications folder and use the command "File > Get Info ⌘I". The Info panel should show you the version number.

iWeb says it is v. 3.0.

If you're still going to use iWeb then update it to the last version averrable with this updater: iWeb 3.0.4

Once you have iPhoto working with 10.10.3 do the following:

1 - delete the com.apple.iApps.plist file from your Home/Library/Preferences folder. By default it is invisible so do the following to make it visible:

NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. This also works for Mavericks and Yosemite.

For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring up this window:

2 -launch iPhoto and then iWeb. Try the Media pane again to see if you can access the images in iPhoto.

3 - If you still have problems with iWeb try the following:

A - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your

User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.

B - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your

User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).

C - launch iWeb and try again.

I know it's been said before but it might be time to migrate to a modern website development application. iWeb was discontinued 4 years ago and it was somewhat lacking in features at that time. There are many potential replacements. Just search this community for "iWeb replacement" or "iWeb alternative" to get topics discussing the potential candidates.

If you start with such an old iPhoto version, you probably need to install one of the iLife support updates from this download page.

But I have no idea, which version you would need. Look at the linked descriptions.

found the iPhoto app in the install discs that came with the computer. I installed it and now it says some error prevented it from opening and created a doc to send to Apple. Why is this not working? How can I upgrade an app that won't even open? Frustrating.

Are you running the same system version as the MacoS X from the Install disks? If not, you may need to install iPhoto updates from the Apple Downloads page:

Apple - Support - Downloads

I now am back to seeing the iPhoto and my pictures in the "media" window to the side.

good.

How can I edit my photos? On the other computer I could just click on the iPhoto app in the dock and do it. Now all I have in the dock is iWeb.

But you reinstalled iLIfe? Then drag iPhoto from the Applications folder to the Dock.

Which version of iphoto do you now have installed?

Search for updates on the Support Downloads page https://support.apple.com/en_US/downloads/iphoto

How can I get an iPhoto on the 10.6.8 computer so that I can see what came over?

iPhoto should be on the system install disks of your 10.6.8 computer if it came with snow Leopard.

If your computer did not come with iPhoto preinstalled, you can buy iLife '11 installers from Amazon or eBay, but it would be more economic first to upgrade to Yosemite, then you will be able to download iPhoto 9.6 for free.

Yes, if you restored it from a backup which didn't contain it or didn't choose to install it when reloading the earlier OS; if you used a retail DVD, it doesn't contain and won't install the iLife applications.

I have the DVD for OS 10.6.5 in right now but cannot see iPhoto. I will wait until it finishes to see but have my doubts. How in the world did iPhoto get on the computers to start with? Even my dinosaur 2006 vintage MacBook has it. How can I get it without buying some disc somewhere? I have all the old OS install discs in my safe so was it any of them? I have 10., 10.3, and 10.2 in my safe. Thanks.

iPhoto and the other iLife apps used to be on the second install disk with the bundled applications on the macs that came with snow leopard or earlier systems.
