what is the latest version of Bitcoin-Qt that will work with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard)?
I have v0.8.5 beta installed, I tried to update to 0.11 but it won't run on my mac.

They should all work. Use 0.11.2, it's the latest.

0.10.x was supposed to support 10.6, but I haven't tried it to verify that it does.

After 0.10.x (e.g. into the 0.11.x and higher) OS X 10.6.x support was to be dropped.

Thanks for the pointer.
It's starting to look complicated if it doesn't work Out Of The Box.
Its just taken me literally weeks to get the blockchain up to date.
I don't really want to go through all that again.
Is there any problems with staying on 0.8.5 beta ?
What would you advise ?

0.10.3 should work out of the box.

But, I would at least go to 0.8.6 since it had some specific OS X fixes, iirc.

Thanks for your input cr1776. I will go for 0.8.6 then.
Another quick question. Do you have to redownload all the blockchain again ?

[cr1776]

If you have the 0.8.5 beta blockchain, it should be fine. 

Definitely think about 0.10.3 though if you can.  At some point you'll want to do so.

Bitcoin-qt works on mac, if i remember correctly (I don't use mac). I personally use online wallets, like coinbase and blockchain.

Just use Bootcamp or Wine. They work well.
