Can I use iMovie Hd in mountain lion?
Will iMovie Hd work in Mountain Lion?
I have the special version (iMovie HD 6.04 as a .dmg as provided by Apple) working in Mountain Lion and use it.
The process to get it there is a bit painful though - if you have that version:
Install iLife 08 (the 6.04 version needs to have iLife 08 installed or it won't install).
Install iMovie HD 06 from .dmg (it will install in a separate folder)
Install iLife 09 and/or 11
(Use Software Update after each install)
I've used this install method with both Lion and Mountain Lion.
You will now have both iMovie HD and the latest version of iMovie installed. They do work together.
Since iMovie HD was the only version that processes losslessly, I still prefer to use it for all my projects. And, it is so much easier to do editing out/in of split second portions of frames.
If you have just the regular iLife 06, you can try it - you may (or may not - experiment) have to install a current version of iMovie first or, if iMovie HD installs, simply manually create a folder as shown in my screenshot and then install the current version.

I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?
First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
Second: Create a new partition.
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Third: Install Snow Leopard.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading. -
How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?
Hi All,
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
All great except for my Apple Remote control.
Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
Any advice will help!
Thanks in advance/all the best.
MarcoThanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.
At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
they do promote the following:
Apple Remote with Mac
The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
Cheers

HT1338 Can I use iLife '09 on Mountain Lion 10.8.3?
I currently have Mac version 10.4.11 but it's not new enough to use iLife '09, if I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion 10.8.3, will the iLife '09 be compatible with the Mountain Lion 10.8.3?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iLife '09 is compatible with Mac OS X Leopard or later, so you can install iLife '09 if you upgrade to Mountain Lion. However, note that not all computers with Tiger are compatible with OS X Mountain Lion. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, upgrade to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Make a backup before upgrading. After upgrading, open > Software Update, and install 10.6.8.
Note that Snow Leopard is compatible with iLife '11, so if you want, you can install a newer version. You can get iLife '11 for Mac OS X Snow Leopard at Amazon or eBay -
Can I use Messages w/o Mountain Lion?
Hello,
so I have an older Intel Mac Pro (MacPro1,1) from early 2007. Seems I can't install Mountain Lion as per the "2008 or newer" requirement. I had been using the Messages beta. How can I continue to use Messages on this machine now that Apple is disabling the beta and I can't install Mountain Lion. I have one of the retina MBP but I still use the desktop and this new OS is just plain confusing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
SaiYou can use iCloud on your phone, but not with your computer, requires Lion.

Can i use NIS on MacOSX Mountain Lion?
I am unable to get my iMac running Mountain Lion to retrieve NIS maps from my Linux-based NIS servers, even setting it up manually. Is anyone successfully using NIS with Mountain Lion? I only want to get a list of shares; I don't even want to authenticate with NIS, although that would be nice.
It seems to me that with Lion, I could at least run
ypbind -ypsetme -insecure
and then specify a NIS server and get the maps. With Mountain Lion ypbind never succeeds at all, no matter what I do.Hi ssbarnea,
To me it looks like ypbind on Mountain Lion (and Lion) will only bind if the NIS server(s) is/(are) explicitly allowed e.g. via the Directory Utility and *not* obtained via broadcasts (check if your NIS servers are listed in /var/yp/binding/(your-domain).ypservers).
I should mention I am by *no means* an expert on OS X, I've been a Unix admin since the late 80's, but have only recently been using OS X for more than a bit of fun.... I'm in the process of retiring some very current hungry Linux and Solaris boxes at home, subbing them with two OS X minis and VMs on the more modern of the two for continued Solaris and Linux test fields.
The only problem I'm having is with the User Authentication via NIS on the console, the UID is mapped to 4294967295:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518057#19518057
but works f ine with ssh logins. Every thing else NIS wise is working fine.
I'm in the process of setting up another Mnt. Lion box now and will document it and post here in case I've forgotten something above, but took a quick look at the 10.8.1 Macbook config... perhaps somethings here can help:
Current NIS Master is "moon2" (10.5.8 mac PPC mini ... had a SuSE Linux box running before which also worked the same), domain "via-muc01.de" (a closed private nw with a dns server ... so this domain is resolved internally only), the client "charon" is OS X 10.8.1. User "geo" is a NIS user. Some of the export options I use are due to some older unicies in the nw, which otherwise have problems.

How can I use Boot Camp in Mountain Lion to mount Windows XP?
I would like to use Windows XP on my 2009 13" MBP in Boot Camp? I have tried and it only asks for Windows 7 and when I use XP it says unable to install.
1. Is this usual?
2. If so, is there a work around?
I do not have Windows 7 nor will I purchase it. I want to use this computer primarily as Widows XP as my new 2012 MBP is for Mac! Please help!
Thank you!I concur with dalstott with the following additional information:
1. I am currently typing on my 2009 MBP. I installed Windows XP in Bootcamp soon after I purchased it. I then upgraded it to Snow Leopard and then later to Lion, and Lion is what I run today.
Bootcamp continues to function with Windows XP installed. I also have Parallels 7, and, as one of the features of Parallels, I am able to use the Bootcamp partition to run Windows XP within Parallels, as well, for concurrent use of Windows XP and Mac OS X Lion (saving me the duplication of hard disk space if I had to have both the Bootcamp partition and the very large file that Parallels would create for Windows XP).
2. There may well be a way for you to install Bootcamp and Windows XP in Mountain Lion without restoring Snow Leopard:
This method requires access to a WIndows 7 upgrade disc, but you do not need the serial number and you never actually upgrade to WIndows 7 (stop after Step 8):
User Tip: BootCamp - Install Windows XP & then Windows 7
NOTE: Although the author of this User Tip suggests that it will work on all Macs running Mt. Lion, if you read the thread, you will see that others have had problems, and my post suggesting that this method will only work if the Mac could originally install Bootcamp with Windows XP such as yours and mine.
3. While searching for tip #2, I also came up with this suggestion:
Installing WinXP on Lion or above without BootCamp
Good luck and be sure to come back and let us know what works for you! -
I wanted to post a picture from email straight to Facebook.... Mountain Lion asked if I wanted to add all my Facebook contacts to my Contacts app... Do I need to do that? I'd like to keep that separated...
Yes, you can keep your facebook contacts out of your contacts app.
Open system preferences>mail, contacts, and calendars>(your facebook account)>contacts
There should be a check box for contacts, if you uncheck it, your facebook contacts/friends should not end up in your contacts app.
I'm not 100% sure, sorry, I don't have facebook integration activated on my Mac. -
Can I use ipa font with mountain lion?
Last year I had IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) fonts on my MacBook Pro. I haven't needed them over the summer, and yesterday I discovered that I don't have them any more. I've been through a couple of IOS iterations since I last used them and wonder if mountain lion has particular specs or 3rd party fonts. I'd appreciate insight/tips from any of yu who use IPA.
Thanks,
NancyYes, it is BUT, in my case at least, software update did not automatically update me to the latest version of Numbers and I had all sorts of problems (templates that would crash the application after loading, zoom set at 10000% rather than 100% (and no way to change it), washed out images, etc...). After digging around I found the Numbers 1.0.3 update at Apple, downloaded and installed it and now all seems to be working well.

This is frustrating. I don't want to buy iPhoto as well and have another database of my photos eating up SSD space on my MBP. I have tried dragging photos into my project from Aperture, and that doesn't work either.
I get Aperture as an option in mine. You just click on the Photo Browser in the Middle Toolbar in iMovie. Aperture should be an option.
First make sure you are looking in the right place, as shown in these pictures.
If you are and it still does not work for you, try trashing the preferences - as explained here.

I would like to use a copy of Mountain Lion for development, but the store tells me I cannot download it because my MacBook 4,1 is not compatible! What can I do to download it?
I have paid for it and all...You can't do anything. See:
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
Your computer does not meet the requirements to run Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
In Finder , why i can't go back and forward using the trackpad in Mountain Lion?
In Finder , why i can't go back and forward using the trackpad in Mountain Lion?
Hi. I also got the same problem but just learnt a way to resolve it. No need for 3rd party software.
If you don't care much about the Three finger drag gesture, and just want to swipe between pages in Finder and web browsers, please follow these:
System Preferences/Trackpad/More gestures/Swipe between pages/Scroll left or right with 2 fingers. This option works solely for web browsers.
In order to swipe between pages in Finder, web browsers and other apps as well,change the option to Swipe with two or three fingers. (3 for Finder and apps, 2 for web pages)
If you also want to use Three-finger drag to move windows and drag-select:
The problem occurs once you change to "Swipe with 2 or three fingers", Lion will automatically disable/uncheck the Three finger drag function in Trackpad/Point&Click. Or the other way around, you tick Three Finger drag, Swipe between pages automatically switches to Scroll with two fingers because these 2 functions are overlapped.
My solution is:
stick with initial option Scroll with two fingers for navigating between web pages.
Re-tick Three finger drag in Point&Click.
Use combination: Option+Swipe 4 fingers for Finder and other apps (although it functions reversely, Swiping left to go backward, swipe right to go forward)
My current gesture routine:
- Swipe between web pages: Scroll with two fingers.
- Swipe between pages in Finder and other apps: Combination Option+swipe 4 fingers
- Swipe between full-screen apps (desktops): Swipe left or right with 4 fingers
- Drag select and navigate windows: Three finger drag
- Mission Control - Swipe up with 4 fingers. (avoid conflict with three finger drag)
* You can actually use combination Option+Swipe 4 fingers for everything (apps, finder, web pages) but I personally prefer swipe 2 fingers for web browsing. It's just easier and quicker and avoid conflicts with other gestures.
Hope this help.
