Our Leopard Group is for those using Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.While you can still buy the entire iLife package on disc, and Apple also sells the individual apps (for those who don’t need all three) via the Mac App Store: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote each sell for $19.99 and require OS X 10.6.6 or later – and Mavericks users can download the latest version, which requires Mavericks, for free. Each sells for $14.99 and works with OS X 10.6.8 or later. iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand are now Mac App Store exclusives. iLife 11 requires OS X 10.6.3 and only works with Intel Macs.Īpple no longer sells iLife on disc. Both are compatible with both PowerPC and Intel Macs.

iWork 09 requires OS X 10.4.11, the last version of Tiger, or 10.5.6 or later. The Box Set is a great deal if you need apps from both bundles. The Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X, iLife 09 or 11 (iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, and iWeb), and iWork 09 (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote). We think anyone with an Intel Mac and still running OS X 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard should consider upgrading 10.6 Snow Leopard if you have at least 1.5 GB of memory (any less than that and 10.5 Leopard is your best bet) – although there are some areas where 10.5 is a better choice. Snow Leopard retailed for $29 for a single user or $49 for a 5-user family pack.

If you have a Core Solo or Core Duo Mac (most of them introduced in the first half of 2006), OS X 10.6 is the last version of OS X they can run.OS X 10.6 is the last version of OS X to support Rosetta, which allows use of software written for PowerPC Macs (AppleWorks, Quicken, Microsoft Office 2004 and earlier, other discontinued apps, legacy versions of current software, etc.).You need to be running Snow Leopard to order, download, and install Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks, which are available through the Mac App Store.Although OS X 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, and 10.9 Mavericks have each replaced it in turn, there are good reasons you may want to (or even need to) have Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
