In short, they we're stumped ('It's the first time we hear about this'), they apologized and they will send me an iLife '11 DVD for free. I just got off the phone with the german AppleCare Center. Your apps will only work for 10.7.4 or later.Īgain, the Mac App Store does not offer older versions of the iLife apps.' (or any other apps) They then recommended to contact AppleCare.

They answered again with the same info: 'Unfortunately, the version offered in the Mac App Store will require Lion, which you will need to redownload in order to have the apps function properly. I followed up with the Mac App Store Support. The only solution I can think of, which isn't a very good solution, is to get a retail disc of iLife '11 and update manually to 9.2.3. It doesn't seem fair that you bought it when it was compatible with Snow Leopard and now the only reason you can't access it is because they decided cut you off with an update.ĩ.2.3 was released in March of this year, less than three months ago, and 9.3 was only last week! But then again, Apple isn't exactly fond of supporting 'legacy' systems. It gets really frustrating especially since Apple will release updates cutting off compatibility with older systems (i.e., iWork '09 was initially compatible with PPC and Tiger/Leopard, but only in the pre 9.1 updates). I'm kind of surprised that Apple won't give you the version compatible with your system. After reviewing Apple's site, it seems you are correct. Alternatively, do you have a friend with a Mac with Lion that you could log into the App Store under your account, download iPhoto, and copy it over to your Snow Leopard Mac? I assume that would work, since you'd be downloading it in your name and transferring it, kind of like how transferring purchases used to work in iTunes. In-box discs are machine-specific and are grey in color. If your Mac shipped with Snow Leopard, iLife should be available on the Applications Install disc that came with the Mac.
