How to reinstall iMovie 08

Hello everybody
I have a black macbook, that came with Tiger and naturally imovie 08 pre-installed. I have now bought and installed Leopard and upgraded to 10.5.1
Unfortunately iMovie is not working, and i have tried may suggestions from other posts with no success. I would like to try and uninstall iMovie 08 and reinstall it. Any tips for how to properly uninstall iMovie and hopefully all the video files with it would be great. I have everything backed up so i can reload them at a later time.
Thanks for the help

Chiming in here... not just iMovie, but all of my jingles for iLife did not come in after reinstalling after a new leopard install...
Other things too, little annoyances... Garageband had no software music clips at all, I had to go back and choose them and install them separately. But while doing that I noticed that iLife and the extras choices in options were greyed out and I could not add them. In iMovie I can not see any of the hovering windows for editing. No sound editing window, no color correction window, etc.
I have to teach this on Monday (about 6 days) and need it to work on my machine to use it!

  • How to Reinstall iMovie

    Every time a open iMovie, I get: Missing QuickTime Component: The QuickTime component necessary to view, edit, import, and export high-definition movies is not installed. It is included with the iMovie installer; please re-install.
    How do I reinstall iMovie? When I put my install disc 1 ad select Install Bundled Software only, I couldn't select on iMovie, it's "skip" and grayed out.

    Try downloading Quicktime from the Apple web site and installing that.

  • How do you reinstall iMovie when it came pre-installed with the Mac?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how you reinstall imovie 11 (i think) when the software came pre-installed on the Mac. I purchased my Mac in August 2011 it is the iMac (Mid 2011 model) I am running Lion. No discs came with the Mac for the option to reinstall.
    The reason i wish to reinstall it is because it keeps crashing on startup. I load the application and it opens but then after a few moments of loading up the rainbow wheel appears and never goes away, the app then is none responsive and I have to force quite the app.
    Any help would be appriciated
    Cheers

    Hi Ralph,
    I live in the UK and i have called apple support but it is all automated and as i don't have apple care they said that i would need to open an incident which would cost £35. iMovie on the Mac App store is only £10.50!
    do you know of another way of contacting them for an issue like this? is there anyone i can speak to on an online chat?

  • How to uninstall/reinstall iMovie

    I just "upgraded" to iMovie 7.1.1 today and it the program all but totally collapsed. It will still open, slowly, but even though a project is active the Project library shows empty, the event and project windows are sometimes filled correctly and sometimes not, and regardless of that the whole thing has slowed to a jerky crawl.
    In short iMovie is, well, I'd say it's toast, but I have Toast and at least it works.
    I am in the middle of a project in iMovie '08 which I need to finish. I'd love nothing more than to roll back the clock and slap myself in the face just before I clicked on the OK button to update the software, but that isn't going to happen, so what can I do to un-do what I've done? I tried reinstalling the "bundled software" that came with my OEM OS X Tiger discs and that didn't work (I'm actually running 10.5.1). So my question is: How do I uninstall and then reinstall just iMovie?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply, yes, I did try to repair the permissions, in fact I have run permission repair three times now and when I get home I'll see if it needs to be run again since it seems to come up with additional issues each time I run it, suggesting to me that there are layered permission problems. Whether that has anything to do with the current iMovie issue or not has yet to be proven.
    In regard to your reply to Irb07 about Quicktime, I have not received the same error messages about QT, however the update that I installed contained updates to several packages, iMovie and Quicktime were two of them.
    So far none of my permission repairing has made a difference in iMovie, it still doesn't work although it will partially load. I'll keep repairing and see what happens, but in case that doesn't work...
    Is there a way to actually uninstall and then reinstall iMovie? iLife came packaged on the OEM Tiger disc set with my machine, but it does not appear to allow me to selectively install specific programs, nor does it allow me to remove any.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks.

  • Reinstalling iMovie 4

    When trying to reinstall iMovie 4 from iLife CD the error message says the installation can not be made because Garage Band, iDVD, iMovie or iPhoto is running.
    Another time when this happened I just erased the HD and started over.
    Am in my 8th decade and am retired...so who cares? I have the time.
    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Like to say that it will be better the next time...but I know better.

    This nonsense is infringing on happy hour. (I'll make up for it.) Are you the Sue in The Field Museum Of Natural History on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago?
    You only get part of a star.
    Suppose you should have the whole star...iMovie was reinstalled.
    Was able to reinstall iMovie 4...but...when attempting to open iMovie was advised that the application was damaged.. or some such drivel.
    Only iMovie was selected for reinstallation.
    Have a self portrait to attach to these missives as soon as I can figure how to do it.
    Thanks Sue, for your time and help.
    Don't feel bad. When I get new bells and whistles for my Macs, I cut a hole in the bell and put the clapper in the whistle. Then when I correct that, I try to ring the whistle and blow the bell

  • Reinstall Imovie Ipad 2

    I have an Ipad 2 with Imovie. The program has somehow lost the "edit" button found in the upper left of the display of videos taken. I assume I must reinstall Imovie. How do I get and reinstall to avoid losing all previous video shot on the the I-pad. I do have the IPad synced to my macbook.
    Thanks for any help.

    Do a backup, so if the video disappears you can get it back. But I think it should stay there.

  • Reinstall Imovie HD

    My Imovie will not close I have to force quit or it will just stay open forever. I was told to reinstall imovie off of main disc. How do I do this? Thanks

    Hello, rainbowdog!
    Welcome to the discussions.
    What version of iMovie are you using? iMovie HD can refer to v 5 or 6. How did you get the original iMovie HD? Did it come preinstalled on your computer or did you purchase iLife 5 or 6?
    If it came preinstalled, you should have some CD disks that came with your computer. One of them should be a Software Restore disk. You can insert that and opt for a custom install that will allow you to selectively reinstall just one app.
    If you purchased iLife separately, you should have the disk, and can reinstall from that.

  • How to reinstall pre-installed iWorks after hard drive replaced?

    iWork was pre-installed on my iMac (July 2010) 3.2 gHz i3 running OS10.6.8. The original hard drive was recalled by Apple and replaced. I backed up all data to Crash Plan prior to the change out. When I tried to open any of the iWorks programs I received the following error message:
    I checked my install discs and application install discs, but iWork does not show up there. How can reinstall these programs?

    Thanks, mate, but the computer did not come with any iWork DVD. It only had the OS install disc and the Application restore disc, neither of which contain iWork. The error message reads: "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X. Clic Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
    I sent a report to Apple. This message repeats for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. My original receipt shows the iWork app was paid for.

    Hello,
    I was having issues where PDF's were not saving when I was printing them, so I thought that if I deleted the PDF printer from my list of printers and reinstalled it, my problem would be solved.  Now I can't figure out how to reinstall (add) the PDF printer back into this window.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, and I have been searching the web for about an hour.

  • How to reinstall windows 8 on bootcamp

    how to reinstall windows 8 on bootcamp macbook pro, without losing anything on OS (Apple) side

    Start Bootcamp Assistant then select the option to remove Windows and return your drive to a single partition. Once Windows is removed start Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to install Windows. Follow the Bootcamp instructions for installing Windows.
    This process will not cause lose of OSx data or applications if done correctly. But as allways, create a good backup of your data because things sometimes go wrong or instructions are not followed causing data lose.

  • My hard drive crashed and I want to reinstall my personal itunes on another computer but I need to deauthorize my the original computer and I don't know how to reinstall.  Can someone help me please?

    My hard drive crashed and I restored my computer with my daughter's hard drive (her battery was dead) and I want to install my personal itunes on the new hard drive.  I was unable to deauthorize the original computer and I do not know how to reinstall my personal itunes.  Can someone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Without a backup of your "crashed" HD you will have to download your iTunes purchases again. Make sure your restored computer is running the latest version of iTunes.
    Here is the procedure for your reference.
    On your restored computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    "Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
    When you want to play your newly downloaded music, you will have to "authorize" it. Don't worry about the lost HD until enough of your computers crash that you reach the limit of 5. Then you can "deauthorize all" and re-authorize as necessary.

  • Where can i find a tutorial on how to use iMovie 2013 version?

    I've been making some clips anywhere from 6 seconds to 15 seconds long, and I just wanted if there are any good links on how to use iMovie 2013 version. I've looked on youtube but everything on their are old clips or small clips on how to run the program. I'm not an advanced user but i've picked up some of the basics on iMovie. I just want to learn the basics and advance onto the harder setups with iMovie. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Well then when you erased your hard drive, your erased the Recovery partition, also.
    Use Internet Recovery to either restore from your Time Machine backup or reinstall the OS if you don't have a TM Backup.
    It will install the OS that shipped on that Mac. You can then upgrade via the App Store.
