iWork &amp; iLife from Snow Leopard Family Pack OK on PPC iMac G5? Anyone know of any reason why this would not work?

Well... man... that's a good question. The box set includes a Snow Leopard DVD, an iWork DVD, and an iLife DVD (keep in mind that the regular Snow Leopard family pack, that's not a box set, does not include iLife or iWork). The Snow Leopard one is only for Intel Macs. I know the retail iWork and iLife versions work on PowerPC, and I would assume that they are *probably* using the same ones, since the installer packages that you could download (such as for the iWork trial) are for both Intel and PowerPC, and since they wouldn't have to put separate files on there it would probably be easiest for them to include disks that supported PowerPC. Then again, I can't confirm this and it is a possibility that they assumed they only needed to include Intel support. One possible option you have is to buy iWork/iLife/Snow Leopard separately. The actual disks that are included in single-license copies are the same as in the family-pack ones, meaning it will install on all your computers. So what you could do is purchase those disks separately (either with family packs or not) to approximate the price of the Mac Box Set Family Pack. Of course, the best option would be to actually call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask them if the iWork and iLife work on PPC. If not, you could ask them about buying the non-family pack versions separately to see if it's ok. I'm sure they'll be fine with it.

I am in the same boat. I know the PC processor in my PowerBook G4 won't support Snow Leopard, so I am hoping to upgrade to Leopard so I can use some peripherals that require at least OS X 10.5. I checked the requirements to run Leopard on Apple's website and it seems doable with what I have. I am only hesitant because of the price tag. Has anyone installed Leopard on a PowerBook G4?

I do not know for sure and I am not a computer wizard. However, this is a similar to the age of my IMac and it works just fine. It might depend upon what software version you have updated to. For $20 you could try it (buy the router) and if it does not work upgrade to newer software. ON this issue, I had to leapfrog about 3 or 4 software versions not long ago. I went to the Apple store and they said I had to add additional memory. They helped me order it online and instructed me on how to install it on the front of the computer. It was very easy to do. I then returned to the store, memory upgraded, and they assisted in upgrading the software to Mavericks (which is one short of the latest I believe). They also did not charge me but I did have to pay for the newer version of Office in order to get Word and Power Point. I don't know if this information is helpful but our computers are of similar vintage and it worked just fine for me. Good Luck!! This is the best $20 bucks I ever spent on computer gear.

Windows software, including Microsoft Office, wont's install on Apple iMac. There is Microsoft Office specifically designed for Mac products.

Hi Judy.I have used the Canon pixma ip3000 on several Macs. One was a G3 iBook. One was a G4 Emac. Currently I use it with my new imac intel duocore. NEVER had a problem. I did have some problems matching up color in Photoshop but that is all. With my new iMac, I didn't even have to install the software!!! I just plugged the printer into my apple wireless thingie (sorry forget name of it) and my computer recognized it! It doesn't give me detailed ink info, etc, though but I know it will once I install the software. BTW, I am one OS below Leopard, Tiger I think. Good luck!

This Macbook has worked well for me, with no issues to speak of. I am running Snow Leopard, so I cannot answer how the newest software will work.

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

I have an iMac and it works on that (the iMac is over 7 years old and runs on the latest iOS). I have bought reader rabbit apps for iPad, too. None of the apps worked quite right, but this disk does. My 6-year-old loves it, and it did help prepare her for kindergarten. Skills covered are not exactly aligned with Common Core, but some people would say that's a good thing. ;-/

I TOO am looking for version B1, not only on amazon but everywhere online. I havent found any site that actually posts the version they are selling. This is crucial for me since I was informed that ONLY version B1 will work with my mac. If you (or anyone) finds a place that posts the availabilty of v. B1, pleease let me know.

If your iMac will support it, I think you should upgrade to Mavericks. As to whether you need LR5, check this article for the new features in LR5. I never ran LR before V5 so I can't quantify how much better LR5 is than LR4. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/whats-new.html

The link is back up. Can anyone comment on the Mac drivers? I'm thinking about buying one of these if it works well.
