Question

iPhoto 6 to 11 update problem

Aug 15, 2012 2:40AM PDT

I have a black MacBook from august 2007 and Mac Os X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 6.
I just spent a very long time preparing photo albums but as I went to "buy" them, iPhoto told me that iPhoto 6 no longer allows for export.
Apparently my computer is not recent enough for Mac Os Lion 10.7. As a consequence I cannot install iPhoto 11 either.
What am I supposed to do? Any help or advice would be very welcome.

But why upgrade iPhoto? It's not clear from your posts.

upgrade to export photos
Aug 15, 2012 5:00AM PDT

In iPhoto it is possible to export photos by buying the album you make. this used to be possible for iPhoto 6 but it is no longer possible, I need to upgrade it. So if I do not upgrade my iPhoto, I cannot export my photos in the special album I made...

You could install iLife 11

which contains iPhoto 9 on your machine.
It does not require OS X 10.7 to run.

What makes you thing that you cannot install iLife 11?

Impossible to upload life 11

iLife 11 is not compatible with my computer because it is too old (2007 macbook). Therefore I was hoping there was a solution to export my work (my photo album) another way.

Let me skip to another subject.

I don't see answers to a few open questions but let's take a wild leap that you have some other Apple with life 11.

Did you try to open your old files with life 11 (iPhoto 9)?

Why I ask is I never have to export my old Word documents. I just put them on a stick and open them on the next machine.
