Can I use iMovie 09 but stay with iPhoto 08???

Hello,
QUESTION: Can I install iLife '09 but still keep iPhoto '08 and use iPhoto '08 instead of iPhoto '09 but use the other iLife '09 programs??
BACKGROUND: I am installing Leopard (after much delay...) and I believe iMovie '09 (part of iLife '09) has a timeline and more features (vs iMovie '08) plus easier to use etc. So I think I want to make my first projects with my 8 hours of vacation videos via my Canon FS100 using iMovie 09 - can put in chapters and such, too I believe.
BUT in trialing iPhoto 09 on another computer, I see that for now at least, I don't want the geographic info / the faces etc. and kinda prefer to stay with iPhoto '08 for now with my 25,000 photos over the past 5 years...
*Is that possible to do?-*
Thanks for any comments--
Regards,
Steve

Thanks for the fast and informative reply!
1. iPhoto 09: This converts all the iPhoto Library photos to another format not recognized by iPhoto 08. OK I have several copies on several LaCie external HD's - but I'm wondering if my 30 gb 2008 iPhoto library will now turn into 50 gb in iPhoto 09???
2. Speed: I've been afraid that on my 3 year old MB iPhoto 09 may run much slower than iPhoto '08. You say not much performance hit - but I enjoy fast-- and next Mac (will that be #15 in 20 years?!- at least!!) likely to be a MB Pro - or maybe the fastest desktop I can afford?!?
3. I'm not using FaceBook / Flickr at this time - just MobileMe
iMovie 09: I hope one can insert chapters! Would not want to have to go via HDiMovie06 / garageband to do this-- hey, I've got everything downloaded, but haven't made a single movie / DVD yet! Really I'd like to just get about an hour or two of my 8 hours onto a DVD that looks OK - for a first "YES!" - would you say iMovie '09 is going to be easier to "master" than 08?
Thanks very much!! -- and if anyone can let me know if iPhoto 08 / iPhoto 09 can exist together - and if so, how to do this during installation - cuz it seems iPhoto 09 deletes previous iPhotos...

  • Having trouble importing photos from Panasonic Lumix cameras. No error message 1 just has spinning ball, other can import using menu but ends with spinning ball. using 9.1.5 Mac OSX10.6.8. Have to restart to access iphoto

    Hi I am trying to import photos into iPhoto using two Panasonic cameras both Lumix (DMC TZ3 and DMC FZ30). Worked in the past no problem, I upgrade system when prompted and am running Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 9.1.5.  When I attach cable from camera to Mac with the DMC TZ3 I get the spinning ball and nothing else and have to force quite and restart to access iphoto again without the spinning ball, with the DMC FZ30, when I plus in the cable I get an icon on the desktop and can go into iphoto and import the photos that way.  When the photos have been imported I get the spinning ball again and have to restart the Mac to access iphoto without the spinning ball.  Photos do import though.
    Can anyone help, a really stupid, non-techie person who has no idea what she is doing, please?
    Thank you

    Try use a different cable.

  • I have a JVC video camera and it records the video to a .mod format (which Apple devices don't support). I figured out how to get them to iPhoto using iMovie but I want to be able to get the videos on my iPad 2 but it won't let it sync. Any help?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

    Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

    Hi
    Yes and no.
    You can't get an editable material over from one to the other.
    eg a misspelled word in iMovie project can't be corrected in FCE/P any version.
    I use iMovie combined with FCE/P in just one case when there are to many drop outs
    on the raw material eg recorded in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape)
    Then iMovie can import in a more forgiving way.
    BUT
    When this material is moved over to FCE/P the audio parts needs to be rendered
    not just one time but whenever any change is done. A very nearv-wrecking and tedious
    procedure.
    Summary. Joint project should use same platform. In my cases me and friend has
    each one full version of FCE4 and an external hard disk that contain the movie
    project.
    This we exchange with each other to do each the parts that we are on best to do.
    Yours Bengt W

  • HT4901 I have HughesNet with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to backup my information all the time????

    I have HughesNet satellite for an ISP with a capped amount of Internet capacity. How can I use iCloud but adjust the time it is on to conserve my Internet allowance and not have to back up my information all the time?

    Thanks Roger W1,
    Yes, I was using iTunes to sync over cable without problems since orinigal purchase in 2011 and using 10.6 w/o problem. There was an "update" in Nov 2012 that crashed the sync service. I went to the Apple Store and reviewed the problem with the Geniuses there. It was discovered at that time that the update included mandated use of iCloud but enough of the un-updated code remained that he was able to patch functions to allow Microsoft Office to still sync over iTunes.
    This March (+/-) there was another "update" to 10.6 that totally destroyed the patch that was in place so there was no sync service available between Microsoft and iTunes what-so-ever. Then recently, because of some unknown process, all my notes, contacts, and calendars were erased in both my Apple utilities and Microsoft utilities.
    After many hours of frustration I was able to recover most of the information to the Apple utilities only, but those were unstable. At my visit to the Apple store it was suggested that an upgrade to 10.8 might solve the stability problem. That it did but being connected to the iCloud all the time keeps using up all my Internet time and I have nothing left to check emails or do research.
    This, to me, is not my problem but one created by Apple. I have searched the Internet and support groups and there doesn't seem to be a solution.
    The "aircraft mode" turns off all other communication functions and is not acceptable. Neither is disconnecting/turning off Airport on my MBP.
    Thanks,

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ?

    Hello to all my readers.I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ? My current phone is a £10 Nokia and I've neither wish nor cash to spend more than a grand upgrading to an intel based machine (at the moment) ! Regards to you all.

    If you can find an iPhone running iOS5 and those are the specs for iOS5, there is no reason it should not work.
    If you want a more current version of iOS or a more current device, a Windows computer is always an option at significantly less cost. 
    Granted, there is no requirement to have a computer to use an iPhone.

    Yes, you can use them.  As I recall the only concern is that they may not work in DVD players manufactured before 2002.

    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

    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.

    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.
