Saving in an older version

Hello,
I would like to save my InDesign file in an older version. I have the CS6 version and I wanted my file to be opened by InDesign CS4 users.
How do I do that?

IMovie HD saved project in older version of iMovie. Now can't open/find it

Working on an iMovie HD slideshow. Saved it although had a warning that older versions could not open it. Since I only have iMovie HD, I assumed no problem. Now I cannot open the file. Received WARNING
' The project “___” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. ' Seems like my project was moved to iMovie Trash.
Questions:
(1) Can I retreive my project? If yes, how?
(2) What happened to my IMovie HD and how do I get it back?
Appreciate your help.

Sorry I misunderstood about there being a conversion, Steve.
Let's back up a bit. There are some things here that sound very strange, including that the project contains no project file with a tilde in its name.
Were you ever able to save the project successfully? If so, iMovie should have created a tilde file as a backup to your project file "aaa.iMovieProj". If the tilde file doesn't exist, that suggests there's some underlying problem that's causing a failure to save the project to disk.
Let's set aside that project for a moment. Use iMovie to create a new project on the same disk. In the Finder, choose Show Package Contents. (There will be no tilde file in the package for the project hasn't yet been saved.)
Drag the file "aaa.iMovieProj" onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The first few lines should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
Is that what yours looks like?
Close the TextEdit window containing the project file. Back in iMovie, save the project. Now a tilde file should appear inside the package.
Did iMovie save okay? Did the tilde file appear?
Try adding images to this project, then save. Did it save okay?
Quit iMovie. Re-launch iMovie. Did the project open successfully?
The only possible cause that occurs to me is that the disk the project resides on isn't formatted correctly. iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended disk format. If you are storing the project on an external disk make sure the disk has the proper format. More about that here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
You might also try discarding the iMovie preference file "com.apple.iMovie.plist", located in the Username/Library/Preferences folder. Be sure to quit iMovie before trashing it.

Imovie files suggesting "saved with an older version" ???

I hope someone can help.
I have been converting old analogue tapes to DV-PAL with aid of a canopus ADVC110 analogue to digital convertor. I am saving the files to an external hard drive (lacie mini hub 250GB). They appeared to save successfully but I have discovered later, upon re-opening the files, the following message "project was saved with an old version of imovie....." If I save the file the image becomes pixelated. I have about 10 projects, some are o.k one day and others projects are reporting the problem?
Unsure what is happening here and how to resolve.
external lacie drive is Mac OS extended (journaled)
imovie HD 6.0.3
mac mini 1.42 1 gig ram Mac OS X (10.4.9) lacie mini hub and hard drive

I probably haven't explained myself to well.
I am running imovie HD 6.0.3, the lastest version.
I have been saving my projects (converting analogue-PAL to DV-PAL via a canopus ADC) in imovie HD 6.0.3, however upon opening the files later during the week I get the following message.
"The project “hi8 tape 1” was saved with an older version of iMovie HD. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I'm unsure how this is happening when I'm running the lastest copy of imovie HD 6.0.3
When I do attempt to save I receive the following message.
"Files that iMovie can understand are in iMovie’s Trash. Any other files have been moved into the Finder’s Trash. Would you like to view iMovie’s Trash contents now?"
If I do go ahead and save it doesn't help, the video capture becomes totally pixelated after I move the files from imovie trash back to clip viewer or the imovie trash is empty? Sometimes it works by moving the files from imovie trash to the clip viewer but the following day if I open the projects I get the same old ver. problem
I am writing and saving the project to an external hard drive. Are their problems in doing that? The external hardrive is mac OSX extended (journaled)
I did upgrade from imovie 5 about 8 months ago.

Which older version? An Aperture 3 version or an earlier version?

Cant open project says it was saved in older version

Tried to open my project that I had just worked on 30 minutes before and it says that it was saved in an older version of imovie hd. I only have one version so im unsure what happend. It will not open if I hit ok, it starts loading and then gets hung up. After a couple minutes, the imovie says it is not responding. Large project due tomorrow, very stressed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't have too many ID files to convert, I would be happy to save them out for you at no expense.
If you would like to do this, you would need to upload to dropbox.com or wikisend.com or the like and send me a Private Message witha download link. I would then upload them to my dropbox folder and send you the download link. If you just want to discuss it, send me a PM.

Saved with older version????

Hello,
I just installed iMovie HD & created my movie on it. Yet I continue to get this silly warning that if opened will cause it to upgrade??. What I have done with all of my movies is export from Still Life & then start the movie. This is a new movie on HD, also I do not understand what to click to open in the new movie folder. Thank you so much for any help you can offer. This is making me crazy

Problems using projects created in older versions of iMovie

I have a few projects created in older versions of iMovie, as far back as version 2 as well as more recent versions. Most of those projects are finished and I want to burn them to DVD again, but a couple of them could bear a little touch up editing. These projects are precious movies of our kids and hard to replace. Although I could probably find the original video, I put many hours of work into creating these projects.
In any case, when I open up an old project, I get a warning that goes something like this: "The project was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I clicked okay, thinking "sure, I don't need to play it in an older version. I have iMovie HD."
However, now when I play my old iMovie project, there are a few problems. For example, one original movie's title was over black. When I play the movie, I get a completely white screen and no title. Also, in another movie, when viewing the movie in full screen, the transitions were replaced by a black screen (although the transitions were there when I viewed the movie in the iMovie window). Basically, there are problems cropping up here and there.
I need to do some more experimenting with all this to more fully understand how many problems there are. I don't know if the projects I opened in iMovie HD are now "broken" since I "upgraded" them with iMovie HD (when prompted to save the project's changes when quitting, I said NO, don't save changes).
I don't know if I should use older versions of iMovie to view and burn to DVD these projects. (I still have iMovie 2 and 3, but not 4 or 5. I don't know if older versions would even work on my Quad G5 with OS 10.4.7.) I also don't know if the older versions of iMovie would work with the current version of iDVD. How can I tell which version of iMovie was originally used for a given project? How can I find iMovie 4 or 5 if I need it?
I also wonder if projects I make with iMovie HD can be opened by future versions of iMovie, or if I should export them as Quicktime or something to be safe.
As I start to look into this further, I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, and experiences that you may be able to offer. I need to get these movies back to their former selves, when they looked good!

(when prompted to save the project's changes when

Excellent! That should leave you in pretty good shape. More below.
I don't know if I should use older versions of iMovie
to view and burn to DVD these projects. (I still have
iMovie 2 and 3, but not 4 or 5. I don't know if older
versions would even work on my Quad G5 with OS
10.4.7.)
The old versions of iMovie will run just fine in today's OSX. (But not iMovie 2 if it was the version that ran in Classic instead of Mac OSX.)
I run versions 2,3,4,5 and 6 today. Problems are minimal.
I also don't know if the older versions of
iMovie would work with the current version of iDVD.
That's not a problem unless your old iMovie projects contain chapters. If you tell iMovie 3 to create a new iDVD project, it might not work. You might not be able to transfer the chapter information to the newer version of iDVD.
(I just tested iMovie 3 to iDVD 6 and everything worked just fine.)
Except for iMovie 2, all old versions of iMovie stored a small QuickTime reference movie in the project folder. If you can't get an old version of iMovie to play nice with iDVD, drag that movie into the iDVD window.
How can I tell which version of iMovie was originally
used for a given project?
Drop the project file (discussed below) onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The version of iMovie that last saved the project is shown in the first few lines of the project file.
iMovie 5 used an entirely different project file format, the pList format. The top of the project file will look like this in TextEdit:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

5 if I need it?
eBay?

safe.
We can never assume any new version of iMovie will be able to understand all features of a older project. It's always smart to make a backup.
There can be problems Apple can't anticipate. There may be third-party software used to create titles, transitions and special effects, plug-ins not installed with the new version or (more often, incompatible). The fonts installed on our Mac may have changed too. There's lots of features that can't be anticipated. I've never had a problem converting projects, but I never use third-party add-ons and special fonts.
As I start to look into this further, I would
appreciate any comments, suggestions, and experiences
that you may be able to offer. I need to get these
movies back to their former selves, when they looked
good!
My guess is it should be possible to restore the projects back to their original state.
Note that when imovie 5/6 converts an older project, it does NOT create a true iMovie HD project. Instead of creating an iMovie package, it retains the project FOLDER format. It places new iMovie HD elements inside the old project folder instead of converting it to a package.
When converting the project it changes the old project file name to "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project", then creates a NEW project file with the plist format, having the name "Sample Project Name.iMovieProj". (There may NOT be the .iMovieProj extension.) When you save the new project, it adds a new project file "Sample Project Name.~iMovieProj". Note the tilde. The tilde file is a backup of the project file as it was when last saved in iMovie HD.
For our purposes, ignore the iMovie HD project files. We'll use the file ".iMovie2Project" to restore the project. (The extension is the same for all old versions of iMovie, not just iMovie 2.)
• In the Finder, Duplicate the entire project folder. Work on the copy.
• Open the project folder in the Finder.
• Discard the "Cache" folder, the "Shared Movies" folder, the "Audio Waveforms" folder and the two iMovie HD project files. (Some of those items may not yet exist yet because you didn't save the converted project.)
• Drop the "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project" file onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock to get the version. Close it.
• Remove the ".iMovie2Project" extension, if you want.
• Launch that version of iMovie. Drop the "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project" file icon on the iMovie icon in the Dock. With luck, the project should open normally. It's possible any third-party plug-ins used to create the project may not be available. If they aren't available, there might still be problems.
• Move your unconverted projects to folders that say which version of iMovie created them. To open them in the future, drop the project icon on the appropriate version of iMovie.
If all this fails, there is another way to do the editing you want. That is to import the project.mov file that's inside the converted project folder to a new iMovie HD project. That will deliver the video and audio of the original project as a single clip. Use that to re-edit the project. The name of the movie is "Sample Project Name.mov".
(The movie is a QuickTime reference movie, with no video and audio of its own, just pointers to the files in the Media folder. So long as the Media folder hasn't changed, it can play the original project as last saved.)
Importing the project.mov won't work with iMovie 2 projects, however, for iMovie 2 didn't store a project.mov file in the project folder.
Even if you end up importing the project.mov, you still may want to "unconvert" the project as described above.
Hope I haven't skipped a step. Let me know if you bump your head on something.

How do I open older versions of Pages in Maverick?

All my work is saved in the older version of iWorks (Pages). This new Maverick won't open it. I have been able to open my older photos with iPhoto Library Upgrader but need to know how to open my older documents in Pages. Is there an app or program for that? I'm a novice at all this, so please consider that when replying
Thanks!

What specific version is the “older” iWorks (Pages) that you refer too? Pages > About Pages. Mavericks is the operating system, and has nothing to do with whether you can open Pages documents or not.
Pages documents produced by Pages ’08 (v3.03) or earlier are not supported in Pages v5. Neither are any RTF documents. These will have to be exported to Word (.doc) format before opening in Pages v5.
Due to the new document architecture, and 110 missing features/functionality in Pages v5.2.2 that were present in Pages ’09 documents, it may refuse to open Pages ’09 documents because the original document template is no longer supported.

Exporting to older versions of multisim

I just wrote over a pages document by mistake and then saved it, can I find the older version somewhere?

I just wrote over a pages document and saved it by mistake, can I find the older version of the document?

What exactly do you mean when you say "You Wrote Over a Pages Document"?
Did you highlight the text in the document and then start typing?
Did you use some type of Insert function to erase the text already in the document as you type the new text?
If you dodn't do either of those things more then likely all the text that was original in that document is still there, just on another page.
If you did do one of the above it is gone, Bye Bye, See you later.

Edge Animate CC saving older version of my file

I've been working on a file in EA and I changed some of the imported images and saved the file . I made sure that the publish settings were correct. But when I try to Place the .oam file into a Muse CC project it always gives me the older version of the EA file before the changes.

Hi Daniel
The issue is because, the first time you publish as .oam, a new image is captured from stage as (default) poster.png and every time this is used as poster image for the .oam. However, when you replace the image and if this poster.png is already present then the .oam is published with new image but older poster.png.
The work around to overcome the problem is, delete poster.png from the 'images' directory of your animate source(from your OS), and then import and re-publish with new images. This time, the .oam poster image will automatically be updated.
Do let me know If it solved the problem.
Thanks
