Bought iLife '09 but can't use iMovie '09 - what now?

While deleting stuff to make room on my Mac to install Leopard, I deleted iMovie because I bought the Mac Box Set and figured I wouldn't need it since I was about to install iMovie '09.
As I'm installing iLife, I read that I don't have the correct processor - this little tidbit of info wasn't on the box or anyplace else I looked. I figured if I could install the Leopard part of the Box Set, I could install the iLife part. I bought the box set including iLife because of all those apps iMovie was what I wanted most.
The ability to use iMovie was why I bought 2GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage the day before.
Is there a way to at least get the version between '09 and what I had originally? I've still got the install disk for iMovie 2 but I'm really feeling like I got ripped off here.

Sorry.
The system requirements can be found at the Apple Web Sites and the iMovie requirements changed with iLife '08.
Not many software vendors offer returns or substitutions so the buyer must do their homework prior to purchase.
When iMovie version 7 shipped (iLife '08) Apple did offer a free download of iMovie HD version 6.0.4. That has been removed since the release of iLife '09.
BTW, you will not be able to install Snow Leopard for the same reason.

  • How do i download office mac 2008, i already have number license (i bought the disc, but can't use them with my macbook air)

    Hello!
    I'm using a MacBook Air, Processor 1.4 GHz, Memory 4 GB, Software OS X 10.9.4
    Years ago I bought office:mac 2008 with 3 licenses, and I want to use one for this MacBook. The problem is that I can't use the disc 'cause it doesn't have CD/DVD driver.
    How can I download office mac 2008 using a number license that I already have?
    Thanks!

  • I bought Creative Cloud, but can't use Illustrator because it says I need a serial number.

    I've read that my account should activate after signing in, but it doesn't work for me. What do I do?

    @350125 -
    Here are several trouble-shooting methods that should get the applications activated again by your Adobe ID:
    A. Follow steps 4 and 5 of http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/convert-cs6-licensed-under-ccm.html:
    Launch the application.
    Click the License This Software button.
    See your Adobe ID in the dialog and click the Sign In button.
    B. Use the Adobe Application Manager to install a different application to trigger activation using your Adobe ID.
    C. If one application launches without asking for a serial number but another does, then from the application that is activated choose Help > Deactivate from the menu. Relaunch and activate either application.
    D. Re-install the Adobe Application Manager from here: http://www.adobe.com/applicationmanagerpatch/index.html. Then launch the application again.
    If none of these methods resolve the issue then provide:
    Your operating system version.
    The following three log files: PDApp.log, amt3.log and oobelib.log.
    Email this information to [email protected].
    Getting the log files on Windows:
    Open the Command Prompt.
    Type mkdir Desktop\logs and press Enter. This will create a folder called logs on your Desktop.
    Type copy %temp%\PDApp.log Desktop\logs\PDApp.log and press Enter. This will copy the file PDApp.log to the folder logs.
    Type copy %temp%\amt3.log Desktop\logs\amt3.log and press Enter. This will copy the file amt3.log to the folder logs.
    Type copy %temp%\oobelib.log Desktop\logs\oobelib.log and press Enter. This will copy the file oobelib.log to the folder logs.
    Zip the folder logs using a Zip program like 7-Zip (available from http://www.7-zip.org).
    Getting the log files on Mac OS X:
    Open the Terminal (located in the Utilities folder under Applications).
    Type mkdir ~/Desktop/logs and press Enter. This will create a folder called logs on your Desktop.
    Type cp ~/Library/Logs/PDApp.log ~/Desktop/logs/PDApp.log and press Enter. This will copy the file PDApp.log to the folder logs.
    Type cp /tmp/amt3.log ~/Desktop/amt3.log and press Enter. This will copy the file amt3.log to the folder logs.
    Type cp /tmp/oobelib.log ~/Desktop/oobelib.log and press Enter. This will copy the file oobelib.log to the folder logs.
    Type tar -czf ~/Desktop/logs.tgz ~/Desktop/logs and press Enter. This will create the file logs.tgz on the Desktop. You can safely ignore the message: tar: Removing leading '/' from member names.

  • Installed iLife'11 but can't upgrade iMovie

  • I got bad advice at the Apple store - ended up with an iPhone 6 I can't use properly. What now?

    Hey folks,
    I'm hoping I have some options that I can leverage.
    The story goes like this:
    - I went to the Apple Store in Palo Alto as I was visiting
    - I wanted to purchase the iPhone 6 with the intent of using it in Australia
    - I spoke with the staff and they told me that I should purchase the device full price and they pointed me to a model on their product list as well that would work far east / Australia
    - I proceeded to make the iPhone 6 purchase at full price
    - When I reached back in Australia, to my dismay, it turned out that the phone refused to support 4G LTE because of incompatible frequencies. I was told by folks locally that the model I was told to purchase was the wrong one for the market (A1549) !!
    Two questions:
    - Aren't the Apple store folks supposed to know the difference between the models particularly as I'd specifically requested for it?
    - Is there absolutely any recourse for me (now that the phone and I are both in Australia) ?
    Thanks!

    There is no guarantee that any US iPhone will get 4G/LTE in any other country but it should work on 3G. You also have no warranty with that phone. The only unlocked iPhone currently sold at the Apple Store is the T-Mobile model although the Verizon model is also unlocked.
    To get a model for the Australian market that works on 4G/LTE you should purchase the model A1549 in Australia. If you purchased your iPhone from the US in the past 30 days you can return to the states and return it.

  • I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • I bought ilife 11 but cant update it. Is there any e-mail address which can i get help about ilife 11

    i bought ilife 11 but cant update it. Is there any e-mail address which can i get help about ilife 11?
    i bought it from Turkey website. apple.com.tr and i paid the price bu i cant update it and there are nothing i can do? i called the turkey's apple but they said i should mail this to apple.com. So, i didnt find any e-mail support address for ilife 11.
    what should i do? apple support center is really bad for unplanned situations.

    Apple doesn't have an e-mail address. Unfortunately you'll have to resort to snail mail, for anything that can't be answered by phone or the website. 
    iLife '11 has had no updates issued so far:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#ilife
    If it should ever get an update, it would likely be at that link.

  • When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

    i think you confused us with the question 4 times!?
    you can use Motion aas a stand alone app, which can output quicktimes to any codec you want, which can then be used in any app that accepts these codecs. But you wont be able to (AFAIK) import a motion project into iMovie and use it as a clip like you can in fcpx

    Welcome to the Apple Community Rosanna.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.
    You can't do anything with the back up on your Mac, but if your photos are in back up, you might look for a friend who will let you erase their phone and restore from your back up.
