Can't find a version of iMovie that will open

I created an iMovie, didn't pay any attention to the iMovie version, tried upgrading to iMovie 6 but my computer's processor wasn't fast enough for iLife 6. So I went back and tried to open the old file in iMovie 3, but now it says my monitor doesn't have enough resolution, even though it's that same monitor. I thought maybe I had made the movie in 2, but it requires Classic, which I haven't ever had.
Any ideas on how to find out which version of iMovie my files are in? Also any ideas of how to make iLife 6 work on my system?

Hi over achiever - to find the version of imovie, drag the project icon over TextEdit.

  • On one of my "older" laptops, I'm runninig OS 10.4.11 and I can't find a version of iTunes that will run.

    On one of my "older" laptops, I'm runninig OS 10.4.11 and I can't find a version of iTunes that will run. Where can I locate the correct version?

    Apple has a couple of published but still somewhat hidden links to various versions that represent the last version that runs on particular platforms.  The Roger Wilmut1's link to 9.1.1 is one of them, for Tiger OS.
    However, there are many, many versions still available on servers (at least the last time I tried) but the URLs are not easy to find (I have a list of about 20 versions).  They are still on the official Apple server, just no links pointing to them from Apple's pages. 
    Even though I have Tiger OS I still use iTunes 7.5  Most of the bells and whistles in the newer versions seemed to be for marketing the iTunes Store (which has nothing I want and I prefer the CD at the same price) and garnering data about your music tastes (Genius) but the Store won't work with iTunes 9 anyway.  If you're interested in a particular version let me know, otherwise 9.1.1 is the latest for Tiger.

  • I recently upgraded to osx 10.5.6 and found the version of itunes which allowed me to use my iphone 4, well now i've got the iphone 5 c, how can i find a version of itunes that will work on osx 10.5.6 and allow me to syn my iphone 5?

    is there a version of itunes that works with osx 10.5.6 and also allows my to sync my iphone 5?

    You say you have 10.5.6 (Leopard) but your signature says you have 10.6.6 (Snow Leopard) - which is it?
    If it's Snow Leopard all you have to do is apply the combo updater:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    If it's Leopard it depends on what sort of processor you have. It it's PPC you cannot proceed. If it's Intel you may be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard (which is available in the Online Apple Store) provided you have enough RAM: check the requirements against your Mac.

  • I want to download Keynote to my computer that I run 10.6.8 on.  But I get a message that says that I need 10.7.4 or higher.  Where can I find a version of Keynote that I can download to my computer?

    I want to download Keynote to my computer that I run 10.6.8 on.  But I get a message that says that I need 10.7.4 or higher.  Where can I find a version of Keynote that I can download to my computer?

    Purchase Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store. If it reports that 10.8 is incompatible with the system, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu. If the computer has a Core 2 Duo or better processor, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Mac OS X 10.7. If not or you don't want to upgrade, check sites such as Amazon or eBay for the DVD.

  • Is there a version of iMovie that will import ProRes files?

    Is there a version of iMovie that will import ProRes files?
    Final Cut Pro does, but does iMovie HD? And which version?

    Luca,  I'm not sure acceptable life in iMovie at 60p is possible, and not sure about YouTube at this point either.
    (I have a 2.66GHz Core i5 iMac with 8GB ram running Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8)
    My first export using QT x264 1080 59.94, auto key, +CABAC, crashed iMovie, but later times worked ok.
    The non-QT export 1080 HD computer - puts out a 29.97 fps movie with lots of motion artifacts. 
    I checked plist - videoframerate and newProjectFrameRate were 30, so changed to 60 and redid the import, title, finalize, exports, and share to YouTube.
    The non-QT export 1080 HD computer - still put out 29.97 fps.
    QT Export x264 1080 framerate 59.94 fixed, auto key, +CABAC put out a 43 Mpbs 59.94 H.264 QuickTime movie which occasionally stutters, but it appears to have the same quality as the original 1080p60 footage.
    Moving to a 1080p60 camera has been frought with disappointments.  The latest VLC can play my raw video but it often stutters (from no times to lots of times).
    Repackaging as MP4 using ffmpeg -i in.MTS -vcodec copy -acodec copy out.mp4 doesn't get rid of the stuttering. 
    Toast Video Player also has occassional stutters.
    Converting using Handbrake does not eliminate the occasional stutter.
    QT playing the prores transcoded source footage claims 255 Mbps data rate 59.94 fps, and it also stutters sometimes, sometimes not. 
    The Share... YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mByr3Y3wfz4  which appears to only be 30 fps (the mp4 download is 30p).
    The 60pQT export uploaded is at: http://youtu.be/Hv1TgcoaxfM also downloads as a 30p MP4 so I have no idea what is going on.
    "(i)Life" in 60p seems a bit complicated.

  • How can I find a list of printers that will work with my iBook version=2.2?

    I need to print out a book I wrote on my old iBook...got rid of my Epson Stylus 62 and can't find a list on the iBook that says what other printers it will take. I have access to an old Dell 922 and am wondering if that can be hooked up and used to get the book printed without having to go to get info recovered and pay a lot of money. Thanks for any help!

    Oldmac
    You should be able to connect  the Dell 922 (c.2004) to your iBook Jaguar(c.2002) - you may see the problem... finding a driver for the Dell922 may be a BIG obstacle as Jaguar pre-dates the Dell922 - thus, no built-in driver in the OSX  - it may be that some Dell driver will work but I would not bank on it.
    Alternatives:
    What is stopping you from connecting iBook to the Internet?
    What Mac or PC do you have now? Connect via network cabling? > transfer file (what Application?) > print ?
    put your file on a thumb drive and transfer it to another's computer - friend, FedExOffice Store, etc.
    Think outside the box...

  • Where can I find a version of iTunes that is compatible with Tiger and access podcasts for me?

    All the auto upgrades are installed - Tiger up to v 10.4.11 - but when I click on podcasts the window opens in a feedback loop to upgrade iTunes via the iTunes Store, where I cannot go anwhere without creating a new id and offering up my credit card details !!!!!!!!!  this isn't the apple I knew and loved.

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first, particularly RAM ("memory") from the previous step:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

  • How can I download a version of iPhoto that will work on OS 10.7.5?

    I tried to upgrade my iPhoto '08 to a newer version, but the new version won't run on OS 10.7.5 and now I cannot open iPhoto. Is there a way to uninstall the recent upgrade or reinstall a version of iPhoto to will work on OS 10.7.5?

    now I cannot open iPhoto
    Yes you may be able to.  Download, launch and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to your library and then try to open it with iPhoto 9.5.1.  The upgrades will be installed in your Applications/Utilities folder.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • RoboHelp HTML Version 11: Where can I find the version of RoboEngine that ships with RH 11?

    I'm asking this question because the Using RoboHelp HTML 11 guide says that the new context-sensitive Help API is supported only with RoboHelp Server or RoboEngine 3.0 or later.
    Since we are considering deployment of WebHelp or WebHelp Pro to a company-hosted web server (instead of to RoboHelp Server), we want to make sure that we can use the CSH API to call CSH topics.
    Thanks.
    Carol

    Hi,
    You don't need RoboEngine (old name of RH server?) You can simply put your files on any hosted platform and use the context-sensitive help api.
    Which API are you referring to? You can always use context sensitive help, regardless of whether you use any additional products.
    Kind regards,
    Willam

  • HT2404 I am getting notices from web sites that they won't support Safari 4.1.3 much longer, but I'm having trouble finding a version of Safari that will work with Mac OS 10.4.11. I have a n iMac flat screen "lampshade" and still love it.

    Help welcomed. How can I upgrade Safari without upgrading to OS 10.5?

    Safari let's you change your identity ( user agent string ) to anything. This is what the server thinks you are running.  Want to be run Windows 7 IE8? No problem.

  • How can I find an earlier version of iTunes that will work for my new iPod

    I am writing this for my technophobe friend. He has an older iBook g3, version 10.2xx. It came installed with itunes 4. He just bought a nano iPod, which I believe requires a newer version of iTunes. he downloaded 7.6, and it will not woprk with his older 10.2 OS. Where can he find a version of iTunes that will be compatible with his older system, and still operate his iPod?
    Thank you,
    Tom

    I really almost no experience with this but from casual reading I suspect he may be in a bind. 10.2 is relatively long in the tooth in the OSX world and I think the new iPods really require you have the OS to run the iTunes they want. I see posts about people upgrading to Tiger so they can run their ipods and I think that's the story.
