Any reason to keep older version of iLife?

I notice that my old iMovie projects open in the older version of iMovie. Should I keep the older version installed on my laptop? I was kind of wanting to free up some memory.
Thanks!
Trey

More of a question for the iMovie forum, don't you think?
However, it's entirely up to you. iMovie 6 and iMovie 7 are two completely different applications, with completely different capabilities and different interfaces. Your old iMovie projects can be opened and converted with iMovie 7, but with major changes. All transitions will be replaced with a simple crossfade. All movie effects will be lost. This would not be ideal for a project that is incomplete and/or you are still planning to use in an iDVD project.
The system specs at the bottom of your post aren't compatible with iMovie 7 - it won't install on a G4 at all. Are those specs correct? Do you have iMovie 7 on your laptop?
If it were me, I would absolutely keep iMovie 6. Only you can decide what works for your purposes.
Regards.

  • Is there any reason to keep old versions of Elements?

    I have installed Elements 6, 9 & 11 and in addition Premier Elements 11. Given that I have Elements 11 and Premier Elements 11 is that any use for versions 6 and 9?

  • Is it necessary to keep older versions of Adobe Apps (photoshop, dreamweaver,etc.) after installing newest versions?

    Keeping older versions seems to just take up hard drive space.  Any reason to keep older installed versions of any adobe programs?

    No technical reason. It's up to you.
    Some people keep older versions because some features have been removed in newer versions.
    e.g. the Oil Paint filter has been removed in Photoshop CC 2014 which upset some people

  • Any reason to keep earlier CS versions?

    I've just upgrade to CS5 and was wondering if there is any compatibility reason to keep earlier versions. I'm keeping InDesign CS3 and CS4 since I sometimes do work for clients who have not upgraded and I don't want to rely on export .inx files. As for PS (layered psd files, not flat tifs etc), AI, DW, FW, are problems saving "down" to earlier versions, other than losing CS-5 only effects?
    And of course, I'll archive them only after making sure CS5 has no major bugginess for me.

    That's true, Bob, but I'm Mr. Tidy on the computer (not in real-life, alas), and a little obsessed with space-saving: I'll turn off all the layers in my psd files from completed jobs to reduce the file size 10-20 MB (up to 50 MB on the big files!). I know, I know--aren't LOL cat videos for me to be watching instead of taking the time to do that? Or even paying work?
    Plus the 24 or so Adobe folders can take up a whole window and necessitate an extra scroll down the window when looking for other apps. Think of the time wasted!

  • Keeping older versions of Design Standard

    This question is for professionals who've been using previous versions of Design Suites of any kind. I currently have a Student License version of Design Standard CS5. I've purchased hard copy versions of the same edition since CS3, and still have both previous versions on my MacBook Pro. The old versions are taking up quite a bit of space on my hard drive.
    I'm wondering if I need to keep these older versions for any reason, or if I can put them on my external hard drive for the moment. I'm wondering, more than anything, if a client gives me files from older versions if they're backwards compatible in CS5, or if I'll need the older versions in order to be able to properly open and use them?
    I would appreciate any feedback.
    Thanks!

    This would be a great question in the InDesign forum.
    InDesign limits you to backsaving only one version at a time with the INX format. So you may want to keep older versions installed if you have to convert a CS5 document to CS3 via CS4 (caution, backsaving might muddle newer features). You might also work with a client that requires a document to be created in CS3 to match their own CS3 installation.
    Adobe apps are not easily installed on external drives.
    To save space, you can uninstall unnecessary components of the older Creative Suites (Illustrator, Photoshop) while still leaving InDesign. Run the installer to do this.

  • Any reason to keep Photoshop CS5 installed?

    I've upgraded to Production Premium CS5.5. Some software (like Bridge CS5, After Effects CS5, and Premiere CS5 need each other to work correctly)  But is there any reason to keep Photoshop CS5 installed. Photoshop CS5.1 is virtually identical, correct?

    No need to keep Photoshop CS 5 as CS5.1 is the same except for the version number.

  • Any Reason to Keep iDVD?

    I just got Final Cut Studio today, and want to know if there are any good reasons to keep the iLife counterparts to the software. Is there any reason to keep iDVD and iMovie now that I have DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut Studio Pro? If not the applications, what about the templates? I need to know because my 80GB MacBook HD isn't good enough to keep so much stuff...

    If you have the space then keep them. I use FCP/DVDSP for almost all of my work, however, I like the fact that I can "show package contents" and get out the moving backgrounds from these programs and use them in FCP.

  • MacFUSE -  any reason to keep?

    Is there any reason to keep MacFUSE? I assume it was installed when I used Parallels to create a virtual machine running Windoze. I have since deleted the virtual machine and Parallels. Maybe there are other uses for MacFUSE....? Any drag on the system from leaving it?

    Lot of good reasons.
    I don't know if MacFuse came with Parallels, but MacFuse is a free software (1) that offer the possibility to MacOS to access different File System.
    It could be very useful if you deal with external drive formatted for Windows (NTFS format).
    Developpers has extend plug-ins for macFuse for lot of file system or even other "things" that can be manage through the Finder.
    See the MacFuse FAQ : http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/FAQ
    But if you don't use external drive formatted for Windows or i you d'ont know what is a File System : you won't probably not use MacFuse.

  • Any reason to keep EXPRESS ?

    I just upgraded... and glad I did. I'm having a blast.
    However, I've got Logic 7 and 8 Express still on my system. Do I really need those? i don't see myself ever going back to 7 (I'm not a pro, so I'm not going to get 7 files, etc). Any reason to keep them?
    Also, I put Express 8 on my new Macbook... should I keep that on there? Or is there any reason to install pro, minus the jam packs?
    tia,
    e

    I did the same thing and I don't see any reason to delete Express. It really doesn't save any appreciable space to delete Express on the big computer, and I sometimes collaborate with people that don't have Logic Pro, so if I know I will be working with someone that doesn't have Pro on their system, I'll start it on Express before I send it off. Then when I get it back I can open it on Pro for the final additions.
    Conversely, I didn't install Pro on my MacBook so that I could save space, and I use the MacBook as a portable workspace and keep it lean with just Express. If I end up getting serious about something I started in Logic Express on my MacBook, I move it over to the big computer for finalizing in Logic Pro.
    That's my reasons, anyway. Not that they make that much sense.

  • Older version of iLife on new iMac

    I will be updating to a new iMac but need iWeb.  It has previously been recommended to buy an older version of iLife on eg. Ebay but I was wondering how that would work.  Would I have 2 versions of iLife running or would the older version of iLife replace the one preinstalled?
    Thanks

    I don't know about newer Macs and iLife but I think the various components are more or less stand alone.  In other words you can run iWeb and iDVD from an older version next to iPhoto and whatever of a new version.  I strongly suspect the installer will let you customize what is installed and you can just select the iLife components that were removed in later versions. Still, it would be a good idea to back up your computer first just in case there is some shared library component and the installation had undesirable results.

  • Old discs for CS3 and CS4. Any reason to keep?

    I'm currently running CS6. Recently I came across old discs for CS3 and CS4. Is there any reason to keep these?

    No, if you have to reinstall CS6, the serial numbers are important and if you have not already, register them with Adobe.
    You can then access them under your account anywhere you have an Internet connection.
    If you reinstall CS6 on another computer your CS3 or CS4 numbers are important.
    If for any reason, you need to reinstall CS3 or CS4, Adobe keeps the CS3 - CS6 Trial installers online so you can download them.

  • Any need to keep old versions of Logic

    Is there any need to keep my older versions of Logic... I know have Logic 6 thru Logic 9.... Those of you with all the versions do you keep the older versions or do you keep them laying around?
    thanks
    RD

    I keep them because every once in a while a mix comes my way on an old Logic format. I did decide to get rid of them at one point and then found I had to reinstall so I could pull up some of my old tunes.
    FTR: any work done before L7 has to be loaded into L7 and saved before it can be loaded into L8 and L9
    So yes, I keep L7 and 8 just in case.

  • Any way to restore older version of software?

    The lastest upgrade killed my ATV2. I tried restoring the device via a USB connection to iTunes, and got a message saying it cannot be restored. I followed suggestions and updateded iTunes, turned off all security software, removed extra USB devices; all to no avail. The unit was working fine before the upgrade. Is there any way to restore the older version which was working fine?
    iMacOSX 10.6 iTunes 11.1

    The update went badly and AppleTV needs to be restored to current software via iTunes on a computer.
    You need a USB to microUSB cable.
    Try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:

    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
