I'm considering the purchase of older versions of these application
suites. I'm after versions that will work in both Tiger and Leopard
(full machine specs below). iLife '08 and iWork '09 would appear to
be the way to go, but since I've never owned or used either of these
bundles of apps, I could obviously use some advice. I'm wondering if
these older versions are already too old to "enhance my digital life"
by working seamlessly with MobileMe (etc., etc.) as they undoubtedly
could when they were current. Anything later has to wait until I have
an Intel Mac, and I'd love to try out the apps I have yet to
(GarageBand, for one) anyway, so I suppose the foregoing is a moot
point.
In the meantime, it would be nice to get a working version of iPhoto
going in Leopard 10.5.8 . It doesn't want any part of iPhoto 2.0.1
that it inherited from Tiger. This iPhoto came originally with
Panther or Tiger, can't remember which. Probably updated at some
point through some long-forgotten Software Update. Probably not
"standalone" updateable anymore. Still, experimentally, I looked
around. Tried a 4.0.3 download (wasn't finding anything in the 3's)
without much hope. Check this out:
"Neither iPhoto 4.0 nor iPhoto 4.0.1 could not be found in /
Applications."
I don't doubt the factual part - not surprising that 4.0.3 of
anything might require 4.0 - but the *language.* Could that possibly
be legitimate software anyway? Many of the download sites that come
up in a Google search just seem so bogus. I guess I could also use
some advice on reliable sources for Mac downloads aside from Apple
itself (which is mostly limited to the newest stuff anyway). Lemme
see what I've got bookmarked... PureMac, VersionTracker/cnet, that's
about it. Seems like I used to have more. Musta been in the olden
days of OS 9.
Anyway, all that got me thinking that the only way to get a newer
iPhoto was through iLife. Correct?
