Does iMovie 08 work on a G5 iMac with a 1.8 Ghz procesor?

I have a G5 iMac with a 1.8 Ghz processor. The iMovie 08 system requirements state that *iMovie needs a 1.9 Ghz or faster processor in a G5 iMac*. Has anybody tried iMovie 08 in a G5 iMac with a 1.8 Ghz processor?
Thanks

Hummm. Thats a good question. I can't seem to remember if you have the option of installing only one program (although I'm pretty sure you can). I don't have my CDs handy otherwise I'd check for you.
If you don't get an answer here, you could ask the geniuses at the apple store before you buy iLife (since you probably have to go there anyway to but the program ).
You can also call the apple help line!!!! I'm sure they would have the answer.
Let us know how things work out for you,

I did some digging and it seems possible to install one program only. Check out the link below. This guy had some problems but it looked like they were resolved. Anyway he successfully installed only ONE program so I thought you might want to check it out and maybe even ask him how he did it...

    According to the Lion webpage, you would need to add more RAM to your computer and check to make sure you have about 7GB of free hard drive space.

  • Does iMovie 06 Work with iLife 08

    I have a PM G4, PM G5 (SP 1.8) and a PB G4 1.25. From what I have read, I am convinced that iMovie 08 will not install on any of my macs.
    See this link:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
    I'm curious to know if iMovie 06 will work with the various components of iLife 08. If so it would be worth it for me to purchase iLife 08 since I only do SD video, have no interest in HD video and that way I could use the iPhoto, iweb etc components of iLife 08 with iMovie 06.
    If it dosen't work with the other components of iLife 08 then I'll not but it. I'll wait until after Leopard is out in October and then buy a new iMac with Leopard and iLife 08 installed. Also by then the bugs in iLife 08 should also be documented and even some updates released..
    Anyone know?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks Len and everyone who has provided input!!! I'm feeling much better that those of us who have older but still fine running macs with the ability to run leopard when it is released will still be able to use iLife 08 via iMovie 06.
    Here is one final question before I mark this solved. I understand that when you install iLife 08 it leaves iMovie 06 intact. But does it upgrade the remaining components of iLife 06 to iLife 08? I have been in the habit of saving my current iLife suite as iLifeXX old and then doing an install of the new version of iLife. This way I would still have the old version to revert to and also have it available if I still had some old iMovie/iDVD projects that were still in the works.
    It is very encouraging Len that you were able to successfully import an iMovie 06 project into iLife 08.
    Just want to be sure before I do the install and all (except iMovie) of my iLife 06 apps have been replaced with iLife 08 apps.
    Again, thanks for all the good news.

  • Does iMovie 11 work with iDVD 6? - sharing issue

    I recently upgraded from iMovie HD to iMovie 11 instead of purchasing the entire iLife 11 bundle in order to import AVCHD files from my Panasonic TM90. However, once I finished creating a project on iMovie 11 and shared it to my iDVD 6, the project would not show up in iDVD. iDVD does start up, but my project doesn't appear. iMovie 11, however, says that the import completes successfully and I can see it loading during the sharing process.
    So I'm wondering if my iMovie 11 is incompatible with iDVD 6. I've thought about using my imported video files from iMovie 11 in iMovie HD instead, and attempting to share it to iDVD from there, but I'm wondering if there are better solutions.

    It should work fine.
    I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11 all the time. I also have iMovie 11 but I don't use it very often.
    There was a quality upgrade from iDVD 06 to iDVD 08 - 11, (and a quality downgrade from iMovie 06 to iMovie 08 - 11).   I like to use iMovie 11 when sharing movies on the web but for making DVDs I get better quality with iMovie 06 and iDVD 11.
    Starting with iDVD 08 an option called “professional quality” was added.  If you're making DVDs I would purchase iDVD 11.
    If you purchase on iLife 11 on disc, you will have the option of selling it in the future.  Presently, iLife 06 sells for about double the price it cost new.

  • [Guide] Install and run Windows 7/8 from an external drive without using bootcamp (works for late 2012 iMacs with 3TB drive)

    This is a copy of a post from my blog, you can also Read it on my blog...
    Introduction
    After I received my new iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive, I was disappointed when I realized that Bootcamp was not running on this model and prevented me from installing Windows on it. I wanted to take advantage of the powerful iMac hardware to play games but I couldn't.
    There are a few ways of working around this limitation, but I found most of them quite complex and most of the time they required formatting the internal hard drive or repartitioning it and go for a brand new installation of Mac OS X. I was not comfortable with that.
    But there is another way, and that is to install Windows on an external hard drive, using either USB or Thunderbolt. Personally I used a Lacie Rugged 1 TB drive that has both USB3 and Thunderbolt connectors. Both work very well.
    This guide may interest you if:
    You have an internal hard drive of more than 2TB and you can't run bootcamp at all (like late 2012 iMacs with a 3TB drive)
    You have limited space or you don't want to dedicate disk space on your internal hard disk drive to a Windows installation
    What this guide will make you do:
    It will make you erase all your data from your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install Windows on your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install bootcamp drivers
    What this will not make you do:
    It will not make you modify anything on your internal Mac hard drive
    It will not make you use or install the bootcamp assistant
    It will not activate the Preference Pane for the default boot drive. You have to boot by pressing the ALT key to manually select your boot drive each tome you want to boot Windows.
    What you'll need
    An external hard drive with a USB3 and/or Thunderbolt connector. This drive will be formatted so ensure you saved your files before going further. You can use either an SSD drive or a classic hard drive.
    A Windows 7 or 8 install DVD or ISO (check whether to install 32 or 64 bits versions based on your Bootcamp drivers) and the corresponding Windows serial number.
    One of the following:
    Mac OS X with a Windows 7 or 8 Virtual Machine (use VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop for example. Note: VMWare Fusion seems to have some issues with Thunderbolt and USB3. Plug your drive to a USB2 enclosure or hub to work around this -it worked for me-, or use another VM software) → Read the important note below
    A PC running Windows 7 or 8 → Read the important note below
    Windows AIK (free) running on your Virtual Machine or on your PC, or just the imagex.exe file (the rest of the Windows AIK package is not needed)
    Download imagex.exe
    Download Windows AIK (this download and installation is not required if you have already downloaded imagex.exe)
    Bootcamp drivers for your Mac. You can get these either by running bootcamp from your Mac (Applications > Utilities > Bootcamp) or, if like me you have a 3TB drive and can't run bootcamp at all, use the direct download links here.
    A USB stick to store your bootcamp drivers
    IMPORTANT: If your Mac has a 64 bits processor, your Windows Virtual Machine on OSX, your Windows installation on your PC and your Windows DVD/ISO must also be in 64 bits!
    Step by Step guide
    Step 1: Get the install.wim file
    If you have a Windows ISO file:
    Mount the ISO
    If you're on OS X: double click on the ISO file
    If you're on on Windows 7: Use a software like Virtual Clone Drive (free)
    If you're on Windows 8: double click on the ISO file
    Open the mounted drive, then go to the "sources" folder and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    If you have a Windows DVD: open the "sources" folder on the DVD and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    IMPORTANT: If instead of a "install.wim" file, you have "install.esd", you can not continue this step by step guide. And an ESD file can not be converted into a WIM file. So you must get a version of the Windows installation DVD/ISO that has an install.wim file.
    Step 2: Clean, partition and format your external hard drive
    On your Windows installation or virtual machine, plug in your external hard drive (can be plugged using USB2, USB3 or Thunderbolt at this stage)
    Open the command prompt in administrator mode (cmd.exe). To run it in administrator mode, right click on cmd.exe > Run as admin.
    Type the following and hit enter to open the disk partitioner utility:
    diskpartType the following and hit enter to list your drives:
    list disk
    This will display a list of disks mounted on your computer or virtual machine. Make sure your drive is listed here before you continue.Identify the disk ID of your external hard drive. Replace # by your real external disk ID in the command below:
    select disk #Clean all partitions by typing the following (warning: this will erase all data from your external drive!):
    clean
    Create the boot parition by typing the following followed by the enter key:
    create partition primary size=350
    This will create a 350MB partition on your external driveFormat the partition in FAT32 by typing the following:
    format fs=fat32 quick
    Set this partition to active by typing:
    active
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter B in our example. If B is already used on your PC, replace B by any other available letter:
    assign letter=b
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Create the Windows installation partition using all the remaining space available on the external drive by typing the following:
    create partition primary
    Format the new partition in NTFS:
    format fs=ntfs quick
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter O in our example. If O is already used on your PC, replace O by any other available letter:
    assign letter=o
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Exit the disk partitioner utility by typing:
    exit
    Step 3: Deploy the Windows installation image
    Still using the command prompt in admin mode (you didn't close it, did you? ), locate the imagex.exe file mentioned in the "What you'll need" section and access its folder. In our example, we have put this file in C:\imagex\imagex.exe
    Type the following and hit enter (remember to replace o: with the letter you have chosen in the previous step):
    imagex.exe /apply C:\wim\install.wim 1 o:
    This will take some time. The Windows installation image is being deployed to your external driveOnce done, type the following to create the boot section (remember to replace o: and b: with the letters you've chosen in the previous step):
    o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:
    If you get an error message saying that you can't run this program on your PC, then most probably you are running on a 32 bits installation of windows and you're trying to deploy a 64 bits install. This means you did not read the important notes in the beginning of this guide
    If you get an error message on the options that can be used with the BCDBOOT command, then it's because you're installing Windows 7, and the /f option is not supported. If that is the case, remove /f ALL from the command and retry.
    Step 4: Boot from your external drive and install Windows
    Plug in your external drive:
    If you've done all the previous steps from a Windows PC, unplug your external drive from your PC and plug it to your Mac, either on a USB3 or a Thunderbolt port.
    If you've done all the previous steps from your Mac using a Virtual Machine, ensure the external drive is plugged in to a USB3 or Thunderbolt port. Using USB2 should also work but you'll get very poor performance so I don't recommend doing that.
    Reboot your Mac and once the bootup sound is over, immediately press the ALT (option) key and release it only when the boot drives selection screen appears. If you did not get the boot drives selection screen, reboot and try again. The timing to press the ALT (option) key is quite short. It must not be too early or too late.
    On the boot selection screen, choose "Windows" using the arrow keys on your keyboard, then press enter.
    The Windows installation starts. Follow the on-screen instructions as normal. The installation program will restart your computer one or 2 times. Don't forget to press ALT (option) right after the bootup sound, and boot on Windows again each time to continue the installation.
    Step 5: Install bootcamp drivers
    Once the Windows installation is complete, plug in the USB stick where you stored the bootcamp drivers (see "what you'll need" section), open it and right click on "setup.exe" and select "Run as admin". Follow the on-screen instructions.If you have an error saying that you can't run this program on this PC, obviously you have installed a 32 bits version of Windows and the bootcamp drivers for your Mac are made for a 64 bits version. You have to restart the whole guide and make sure to get a 64 bits version of Windows this time!
    Once the bootcamp drivers are all installed, reboot and press ALT (option) after the bootup sound to boot on Windows again. And Voilà, you have Windows installed on your USB3/Thunderbolt drive running on your Mac.
    Now each time you want to boot on Windows, press and hold the ALT (option) key after the startup sound and select "Windows", then press Enter.

    Hi i'm trying to follow your guide, I installed windows 8 on bootcamp to do it planning to remove it after the operation is done, but i get stuck at part 3: every command i give to imagex i get a pop-up ftom windws asking how do I want to open this kind of file install.wim and imagex does nothing, what do i have to do to stop those pop-ups?

  • Does it make sense to configure an iMac with a 256MB internal flash drive and rely on an external Thunderbolt HD for storage?

    I am considering buying a 27" iMac with the i7 processor, 16GB RAM (I can add another 16GB without throwing out any RAM that came with the machine), and the faster graphics card with 4GB video memory. I am wondering whether I should get the 3TB Fusion Drive (of which only 128GB is flash drive), or whether I should get a 256GB internal flash drive and rely on a Thunderbolt external HD for storage.
    For reference, my current Applications folder is less than 100GB, my Library folder is less than 15GB, and my Users folder is almost 400GB. However, almost 300GB of my Users folder are two subfolders: Movies and Pictures. It seems that I don't need to store movies and pictures in the Users folder, and I don't, for the most part. Anything else need to be in the iMac's "home HD"?
    I know Apple offers 500GB and 1T flash drives as well, but they are too expensive.
    Having the HD outside the iMac would have the benefit of not having to send in the entire computer in case the HD went down.
    Would I have a performance penalty having the HD external, even with Thunderbolt?

    While I generally agree with what Mr. Kaufmann has already said, if you are doing video editing on your Mac, a 256GB system drive is pretty thin and could be a source of future frustration, even trouble.  Your system needs disk space (aka virtual memory) to operate in addition to whatever you have stored on the system HD.   Various applications also require temporary storage on the system HD ... especially resource-intensive apps like video, photo, audio (media) apps.  You already appear have ~115GB between the system, applications & user library.  That's nearly half of a 256GB drive ... not much left for working storage.
    While editing video, especially anything highdef, you can easily need 50-100GB or more for operation.  And while Final Cut Pro X allows you to specify a different hard drive for its render & cache files, etc., if you don't specify an alternate location it defaults to your system HD for that storage.  Even so, FCPX and similar apps still need working space on your system HD.  I suggest that 500GB is the bare minimum for a system HD on a Mac used for video editing, 1TB would be better.
    'Course, if by movies you only meant viewing movies then this is a totally moot point.

  • Why does iMovie stop working after a set number of photos?

    I have struggled through 3 Photo Storys so far using iMovie, only to be thrwated by the same problem every time!  There are hundreds of photos to add, to give you an idea I'm at 11 minutes 44 seconds with 1 second transitions and 4 second photos.
    At the same point each time the iMovie project allows photos to be dropped in but are represented by black thumbnails.  On playing the movie they are then replaced with previous photos, looped several times.  It seems that Apple have put in a maximum limit of photos?
    Answers to questions I'm preguessing:
    1:     I use iMovie for this because I can use transitions, text etc which is far better than the slideshows that iPhoto create.
    2:     The images are no imported in to iPhoto as they are school pictures.  Therefore they are stored locally and dragged in to place when needed.
    3:     I use Mac OS X Lion and the latest available version of iLife '11.
    4:     320gb of free space!
    5:     No music in the movie but that doesn't seem to make a difference (First two had sound, third did not).
    6:     All images used are JPEG, no CR2 etc...
    7:     No files are stored on the network and are only linked locally.

    I'm having this problem as well.  In my case I'm getting partial 0 byte files, sometimes with temporary hex file names with the .mp4 extension.
    I copied the whole library (which was new and only contained one project) over to my laptop, where export then went just fine. I've also been having other QuickTime related issues.  You can help pin this down with a few tests:
    Open a short .mov video (best taken on iPhone, import with Image Capture) in QuickTime X. Attempt to export to 480p.  Does QT crash?
    Try to import the same .mov video in iPhoto 9.5.x.  Does it import normally to iPhoto? Or do you get "unrecognized format" errors?
    Do you see any crash logs for ProTranscoderTool_sb in Console?
    If you search for iMovie in console, do you find any lines that mention problems with these files?:
    /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/FCP-DAL/iOSScreenCapture.plugin/Contents/MacOS/iOS ScreenCapture
    "The bundle “iLMBPhotosPlugin” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources."
    /Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins/iLMBPhotosPlugin.ilmbplugin/Contents/MacOS/i LMBPhotosPlugin
    I also wonder if there's any conflict/issue with FCP being installed.  Not very helpful but see this link:

    Hello, FulmerSR,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    I looked up some specs on the CanonZR 700 for you, and this is what is stated:
    The Canon ZR700 does allow for audio dubbing, analog to digital pass-through/i]
    so you should be fine with it. Set it up just as you described, and you should be able to import from VHS to iMovie easily.

    I've posted this in the '09 forum with no answer yet...
    I have iMovie '05 and '06 on my system and am thinking of installing '09 but I do NOT want to lose the other versions I have. Basically cause I have LOT of plugins that are not compatible with '09. Will '09 install alright without overwriting the other versions? Will I still be able to access '05 and '06 alright?
    Thanks much!
