Can we selectively choose portions of ILife '08?

I ask because I run older Macs, the fastest being a 1.8MHz G5iMac. The new iWeb features interest me enough to want to upgrade, but not if I'll lose the functionality of things like iDisk and iPhoto. The specs listed on the Apple page would lead me to believe it should be OK but borderline. Does anyone have experience with these concerns?
I'm currently running iDisk and iPhoto 6 and iWeb 1.1.2
Does anyone know if it's possible to select from the ILife '08 disk which apps we wish to upgrade? I won't miss iMovie, but the others I definitely would if they won't run on a 1.8 G5 iMac or a 1.2 G4 Tower.
Thanks

Thanks, Kyn.
I understand your concern about the iLife browser, because after all, access to the images for iDisk or iWeb are easiest via the browser.
Perhaps someone can address that as well.
I guess it's possible that, since I've never needed iMovie, it might not be an issue. If they run satisfactorily on the Macs in my list below, all I'd have to do is continue using the three that most interest me: photo, disk and web. What I hate is buying software blindly, especially since backwards compatibility is a legitimate question.

  • I can't select a portion of a scanned page

    I often have documents scanned into PDF format at two different copy shops. Sometimes I want to use the Acrobat 8 or Adobe Reader 7 selection tool to select a portion of a scanned page and then edit that selection in Photoshop.
    When I open scan from one of the shops (which uses Acrobat 4 for scannng) and choose the selection tool, the cursor turns into a crosshair and I am able to then marquee-select a portion of the scanned image, copy the selection and then edit the selected image in Photoshop.
    When I open a scanned image from the other copy shop (which uses Acrobat 7 for scanning) and choose the selection tool, the cursor remains an arrowhead and I cannot select any portion of the scanned image.
    Can you please tell me how to correct this problem? Thanks

    You can only edit an entire graphic, not parts. In addition, you can not do the edit in Reader. In both of the cases you describe, you should be able to select the image to edit. The process you are using sounds like a graphic copy (at the screen resolution) which is far from an optimal process for getting the graphics. You can save all graphics to the hard drive and edit those, retaining all of the resolution of the original.
    In terms of the two cases, it sounds like the second shop may have set security to not allow copying of the graphic screen.

  • Preview - can't select a portion of created PDF

    Hi All,
    I'm not new the support community (have been able to resolve many an issue by searching), but this is the first time I'm posting.
    So, I've created a document via Pages and then saved it as PDF (using the print dialog box).  It's a form I use for work.  The form works mostly like a charm, even check boxes, etc.  However, there are three rows of text I have on the second page that I cannot highlight for the life of me.  The problem is that those are the three lines in which I (of course) need to be able to highlight text.
    The relevant part of the form is set up as follows (with [ ] denoting a check box):
    Intro Text (w/12 pt space after paragraph)
    [ ] Text 1     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 2     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 3     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 4     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 5     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3
    (lots of tabbed space)             Option 4 / Option 6 (etc.
    (space)
    Other text
    The bottom two rows (rows 4 & 5) in that list consisting of Text 1-5 can be highlighted just fine - I can highlight any portion, even individual letters.  The Intro Text and the text following the list can also be highlighted normally.  Even the parts that read "Text 1/2/3" can be highlighted, but I can't highlight the individual options in lines 1-3.  The only time that will highlight is if I highlight everything top to bottom, and only after I get past the paragraph starting with Line 5, Option 4.  And in that case it highlights everything, not individual options.
    I've posted a couple of screenshots below to help a bit.  Anyone has any input?  I can't make it work at all.  I edited and re-edited the original Pages doc a million times.  I can't figure things out on the Preview side of it either.  Please help!
    For reference:
    OS is Mavericks with all new relevant updates.
    Screenshots:
    Example of cannot highlight in row 1-3:
    Example of all rows highlighted:
    This is what I need to do in each individual row (right now only works for rows 4 & 5):

  • Can I select the language when installing iLife 11?

    I have an iLife 11 installation DVD bought in the U.S. Can I select the language in which iLife 11 should be installed in on my Mac?

    It will use the Language that your OS is set to.

  • Can't select entire image

    Both myself and my coworkers have encountred this problem using both Acrobat 8 & 9 pro. Using the Object Touchup Tool we right click on an image and choose Edit Image but image is broken up into multiple bands. Samething when trying to select an image with the Touchup tool. I can sometimes only select a portion of the image. Has anyone else come across this?

    I came across the problem when MS introduced OFFICE 2007. If you use the different ways of creating PDFs (PDF Maker versus the Adobe PDF printer) you get different results. The breaking of graphics does not seem to appear in OFFICE 2003. That would suggest it is something that MS did to cause the problem. You can also try the export as PDF that MS provides as a plugin and likely get the full graphic. It has been a while since I have looked at this problem, but my conclusion when I did look at it was that it was a MS issue.

  • Can not select external input for sound

    can not select external input for sound

    Hey there RoosterMonkey,
    It sounds like you have Soundtrack Pro installed but you cannot select your external audio device as an input. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3659
    Update to the latest software versions
    From the Apple () menu, choose Software Update and make sure that you have the most recent updates for your versions of Soundtrack Pro 3, QuickTime, Compressor, Pro Application Support, and other important system files. Installing the latest updates ensures that your software has the latest improvements and enhancements.
    Note: Be sure the application is in the Applications folder and is named Soundtrack Pro before running Software Update.
    Check compatibility and driver versions for third-party devices
    If you're using a third-party sound card, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in, check the support area on the manufacturer's website to be sure that you're using the latest version of the relevant driver or other software for your product. For information on troubleshooting possible issues with Audio Unit plug-ins, go to Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Audio Unit plug-in issues.
    Try a different Multitrack Project or Audio File Project
    Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Soundtrack Pro. To create a fresh project, choose File, then New and select Multitrack Project or Audio File. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
    Delete the User Preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Soundtrack Pro to its original settings. This will not impact your project files. To reset your Soundtrack Pro user preference settings to their original state:
    Quit Soundtrack Pro if it is open.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences  in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Remove the "com.apple.soundtrackpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro  in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Remove the "EffectsCache.plist" file from the Soundtrack Pro folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts  in the "Go to folder" field.
    Remove the "Soundtrack Pro.saved.moduleLayout" file from the Layouts folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
    Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to folder" field.
    Remove the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" from the Caches folder.
    Remove receipts and reinstall Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Soundtrack Pro and Compressor. To do this effectively, you need to remove the applications and their receipts, then install Soundtrack Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. Compressor gets installed automatically when you install Soundtrack Pro. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Soundtrack Pro, so follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Soundtrack Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs handy before beginning.
    In Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X Lion
    Open the Terminal application and enter the following commands one at a time and an administrator password when prompted. Note: The commands are case sensitive.
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Compressor
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Qmaster
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.VideoOutSupport
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.PSTSharedA
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleHDVCodec
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.AppleIntermediateCodec
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.DSPPublishing
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.SoundtrackPro
    sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Uncompressed422
    Then, reinstall Soundtrack Pro and Compressor using the following steps:
    Open the Applications folder. Drag the Soundtrack Pro and Compressor applications to the Trash.
    Insert your Logic Studio or Final Cut Studio installation disc and install Soundtrack Pro.
    When finished installing, choose the Apple () menu, then Software Update to update your software to the latest version.
    Open Soundtrack Pro to verify that the issue has been resolved.

  • How can I select folders to add to my iTunes all at once?

    I have all of my music based in a separate folder from my iTunes, and it is also backed up on an external hard drive in the iTunes library because I have my preferences set to "Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to."
    The problem is, when I click add folder to Library, I can only select one folder at a time.  I want to add multiple folders, but not all  of the sub-folders that are contained underneath the same folder.  I used to be able to do this, with a window that allowed me to use the ctrl key to select multiple folders.  I used to click the folder everything was in, and it would open that folder so I could select the certain folders I wanted.  Now, I get a window only with a + next to folders that opens up the subfolders and I can only select one.
    How do I get back to the other style of window?  It is not my version of iTunes because I have updated it on all of my computers/laptops, and the one laptop I use iTunes with the most is the only one that gives me this problem.  Moving my music folders (or even copying them) to a new folder to add them is not an option.  I am dealing with too much music and I'm not willing to waste that much time, especially when I know there is an easier way that I used to be able to use.

    Hello rudyray,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to adjust view options. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    OS X Yosemite: Ways to view items in Finder windows
    Further customize Icon, List, Column, or Cover Flow view
    You can customize each view to accommodate your preferences. For example, you can change the text size of file names and, in some views, change the size of file icons. 
    Select a folder in the Finder, then click a View button: Icon, List, Column, or Cover Flow.
    Choose View > Show View Options, then set the options you want. 
    To have the folder always open in the view, select the “Always open in” checkbox.
    To have subfolders also open in the view, select the “Browse in” checkbox.
    If a subfolder opens in a different view, select the subfolder, choose View > Show View Options, then deselect the “Always open in” and “Browse in” checkboxes. The checkboxes must be selected for the main folder and deselected for the subfolder. 
    To use these settings for all Finder folders that are in this view, click Use as Defaults.
    For example, if you set options for Icon view, then click Use as Defaults, all folders in Icon view appear with the same options. Use as Defaults isn’t available for Column view because the settings apply automatically to all folders in Column view.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Something happened, now I can't select clips in the timeline of my current project(in Elements 4)

    I've been working on a project for a few days now, everything's been fine. Last night while editing, something happened when I was trying to add a transition between two clips. Now I can't select or edit any clips in the timeline anymore, and can't add new ones. When I click on the clips in the timeline, nothing happens. When I try to drag the select box around several of them, same thing. It acts like there's nothing to select. Same thing with right clicks, soundtrack mp3s, etc. The clips ARE still THERE though, and they all play fine in the preview screen in real time, and when I drag the slider back and forth along them.
    All the clips are already rendered except the one transition I was adding when this started. When I hit 'Enter' to render, though, it says "Rendering 1 of 6 Audio Previews" instead of the usual x-number of video previews. I've not seen that before so it probably has something to do with all this.
    It's ONLY with this one project. I can still edit and select clips in all my other projects as before.
    I've already tried loading other projects and then coming back to this one, as well as closing the program and re-opening it. My current project is still stuck like this but the others are fine.
    Please keep all this info in mind. This can't have anything to do with codecs or the clips being in the wrong format for the program. They're all regular AVI files and MP3s, I've been selecting and editing every single clip on this timeline dozens of times over the past few days with no problems. I'm just suddenly not able to select or edit them anymore or add anything new to the timeline, but they still play normally as previews.
    I'm really hoping this is a simple thing where I've just tripped some setting and accidentally saved it that way and it can be easily changed back.

    OK, then all that I suggested here:
    Now, Exit from PrE, and Shutdown the computer completely. Wait a few moments, and then do a cold boot, launching PrE and Opening that Save_As Project. Do you now have the ability to edit the Clips on the Timeline?
    If not, go to the location where you Copied the AutoSave folder, and view the files with Detail View ON. Then, look at the Date/Time of the files (probably will be 5 of them). Choose the last one written, Open that, and test. If no change, work backwards to the oldest.
    If nothing is working, the only thing that comes to my mind would be an issue with the display driver, BUT that should affect all Projects, and not just this one. However, updating the video driver is always a good step, and should not hurt anything.
    Note: many MP3's can cause all sorts of problems. I recommend always converting them to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and replacing MP3's with those WAV files. One can use the great, free audio-editor, Audacity, to convert the MP3's.
    If all of the above tests fail, let us know, and if you get any error, or warning messages, copy those down completely, and post those
    all failed too?
    If so, there is nothing that I can suggest. It seems that your Project is hosed, and is very likely not recoverable.
    Sorry,
    Hunt

  • Can't select plain paper on HP Officejet Pro L7600

    Hi, I have an HP Officejet Pro L7600, and when I try to select the paper type/quality, I can only select photo papers. All the other selections are greyed out. I don't have photo paper, I just want to print on regular paper. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks
    Bob

    This has been driving me nuts! I'm having this problem as well with my HP Photosmart C4385 with my old iMac (1GHz G4, 10.4.11). The weird thing is that I can choose all paper options, including "Plain Paper", only in Microsoft Word 2004 (but not in Excel or Powerpoint!). There seems to be a conflict in the (admin) account I use, because when I log into another admin account, all paper options are available in all applications. I also don't have any problems printing from my Macbook Pro (10.5.4).
    I've tried removing all entries from the Login Items list (in the Accounts Sys Pref), removed add-on system preferences, emptied caches, repaired permissions, uninstalled and reinstalled the Photosmart drivers (from the CD that came with the printer and the latest download from HP), and used the trial version of "Printer Setup Repair", all for naught.

  • Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

    Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

    Do you not get any options after you have selected print
    then select Print using System dialogue
    which then opend another box , where I select Layout
    and can select how I want the document printed.
    As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

  • Can't select videos for upload. All files are grayed out.

    Ever since Safari 8, I am no longer able to upload videos to places like Amazon (for submitting video reviews.)
    When I write a review on Amazon and choose Video Review as the review type, then click on the "Choose file" button, the files listied in the file selection window that opens are all grayed out. None can be selected. This only happens in Safari. I can use Chrome and Firefox with no problems.
    Anyone else seen this?
    Any ideas how to get this working?
    I've reported it as a bug to Apple a month ago and was hoping the recent 10.10.2 Yosemite update would fix it but it didn't.

    I see what you mean Michael ..
    Might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list?

    In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list... so that a user is REQUIRED to make selection instead?
    I've set the question as "required", but the default answer makes this useless.
    I want to make sure people actively answer this question rather than accidentally missing it, and me ending up with the default rather than the correct answer!

    Thanks Gilad.
    Similar to what you suggested, I utlimately opted to put a question mark "?" as the default answer - it's just a pity this doesn't address my need for users to be "required" to answer the question.

  • HT5035 Can you select whether to use a gift card or your credit card when purchasing

    I have iTunes gift cards but don't always want to redeem them. Sometimes I want to use my credit card.  Do you have to automatically redeem the gift cards or can you select credit even if your gift card has a balance?

    You can't choose which to use to pay for your order. The default order of payment is free credits first, if you have some, then store credits then credit card. I'm not sure how to explain this but this is what I know. You can contact support if you want for more info.

  • Can't select placeholder image in template

    Hello there,
    perhaps I'm too stupid and the solution is such easy. But today I wanted to use the template "You're invisited" to style an invitation for a friends birthday party. In iWork '06, I could select the images on the left side on page 1 and 2 to insert an own image. Now, in iWork '08 it seems to be a text box including image and text - I can't select the image only. Consulting the manual did not solve this, so I'm looking here for help. Thanks a lot in advance
    Klaus

    I can't duplicate the problem you're having. When I open that "festive invitation" template in Pages 3 I can select either the picture or the text box, they are not grouped or otherwise linked. The picture is a "media" placeholder, same thing as image placeholder in Pages 1 & 2. This one does have a mask applied, but none of that prevented me from inserting a picture of my own choosing.
