Does the Free iMovie HD download on the Apple Support site still work

Hi Forrest and Karsten, et. al:
Well guys, I just called to Apple store salesman to get my fix before someone commits me to rehab. I was going to buy the new iMac that came out today, with all the bells and whistles. i had to terminated the sale. The salesman had never heard of the free iMHD download for those who had purchased iM08. When I gave him the download URL, he said he couldn't pull it up on the Apple site and that he had to Google it up. He said that since he couldn't access it on the Apple site, the download is probably no longer available. He also said that, if I tried to load iM06 HD off my old iLife disk into Leopard, it would change my OS back to Tiger. I don't know how one can tell if the download still works or not unless one actually downloads it. I can't tell if it will download to leopard because I have a G4 with Tiger. Before I buy the iMac, I need to know if iMovie 06HD can still be downloaded, and if it will work on Leopard in the new iMac.

Yes Forest, I'm about to pull my hair out; all three or four of them! Carl, the link you posted to the free download is the same URL that I gave the Apple salesman over the phone, from whom i was about to buy an iMac. When he said he had never heard of the free download and couldn't pull it up on the Apple site, I suggested that he Google it. He did and could see it, but said that it was probably no longer functional because it was posted in 2006, and because he could not pull it up on the Apple site. This caused me paranoia that, maybe it's still there on the internet, but useless as the salesman said. This is the point where I asked him about loading iM06HD into a new iMac from my old ilife disk, and he responded that it would make Leopard revert to Tiger. This whole conversation really bothered me. What he told me is not consistent with the stuff I thought I had been reading and seeing about iM06 HD, i.e.,
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NNFnacJSdw )
Near the end of this video on AVCHD (Forest knows about my AVCHD issue) and iMovie, the reviewer mentions that one can import AVCHD video into iMovie 08, then move the clips into iMovie 06HD for editing (at least that's what I think I'm hearing). Either the Apple salesman or the reviewer in the video is wrong. I think you guys would agree that the Apple salesman "should" be the most credible. In the interest of being abundantly cautious with what I put into the new $2500 imac that I want, I want to know as much as I can about what I put in it. This way, I don't do something experimental and end up with a $2,500 smokey crater in my floor, and all three or four of my hairs singed off!

    When I downloaded it, it appeared as if nothing was happening but it actually was being downloaded! It took quite some time to download. I suspect the internet speed affects how quickly it moves.

  • My HP C3180 printer has lost its printer connection.   The download on the Apple support site downloads - but at the very end, I get an error message that my device cannot be found.  Can anyone help?

    This happened all of a sudden.  Was it in response to a O/S 10 update?  The download from the Apple icon does not show a software update is needed; so a new driver is not there.  The download at the Apple Support site for HP printers downloads and seems to install until the end, when it says my device an HP C3180 cannot be found.  Can anyone help?

    lyndag,

    If you downloaded it to your Mac you don't watch it on your ATV unless you are using home sharing. Otherwise, you can stream it from your ATV directly from the store... which means you somewhat download it twice.

  • Iphoto will not download photos to the program but will download to the computer.  I would like to edit the photos but cannot.

    Hi,
    My iphoto program stopped downloading to the program, it will download to the computer though. I cannot edit the photos because they are not in the program. Can someone tell me what is wrong.  Thanks!

    No - I have no idea what yours concern even is
    iPhoto does not "download" to any place - it does import and the only place it imports to is the iPhoto library so this statement makes no sense at all
    My iphoto program stopped downloading to the program, it will download to the computer though.
    And it is really helpful to know what version of iPhoto you have and what version of the OS you have
    One possible off the wall guess with no information is that your have your events sorted incorrectly (fix by the view menu ==> sort events) or that your camera dates are incorrect

  • The dmg files have downloaded to the wrong folder - not finished with the install process

    The dmg files have downloaded to the wrong folder - I am at the part of the download/install process where the "Welcome" screen appears asking for me to agree to the license agreement.  Somewhere on your site, I read that they should NOT go to the applications folder but to the "Users" folder. Can/should I move/drag the folder with the dmg files into the "Users" folder"? If so, before or after I complete the install? I am running MAC OSX 10.7.4 on a MAC Mini.
    Also, when the trial period is over, I will use the license number for the purchased software disks, should the dmg's/folders then be moved to the application folder or stay in the "users" section? I have Purvhased Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premiere Elements 10, but somewhere on your site it was suggested to download them instead and use the license code at the appropiate time. If someone can help with these questions, I would appreciate it. Thank you

    Hi,
    In the Welcome screen, you can accept the license agreement and can go ahead with the installation. You will be asked for the serial number. If you don't have one, install it as a trial application. By default, it's installed in the Applications folder. However, you can change the installation folder in the third screen, if you have a reason. Please see the screenshot below:
    After installing, you can't move application to a different directory by dragging. You need to uninstall and install it again in the folder of your choice.
    Thanks,
    Sunil

    Amazing help from apple support over the phone.  Restoring the computer fixed the problem.

    My mini ipod appears off and not respond to any commands when pressed the buttons to reset, apple logo appeared and then the apple support site and it shuts down. already tried all the steps, but none worked, and when I plug it into my computer it does not appear in the iTunes bar. what do I do?

    If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
    Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
    An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

  • Treo 755p The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved

    After having the Treo 755p device for only a week, I am receiving a message "The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved."  I have over 55 mb of free space according to the device info page. I cannot find anything about this in the knowledge library, can anyone offer help?

    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    My problems are similar to Lauren, but backwards.  For months now I have had problems with my Treo 755 reseting randomly.  Sometimes during calls, sometimes while typing, sometimes while just sitting in the holster.   As many as a dozen a day and then not at all for 2 weeks, no rhyme nor reason.  This Free Space error though is brand new to me today and quite strange.   The error is showing up when I bring my phone out of "sleep".  I press the end button to sleep the phone and everything is fine.  When I press it again to wake the phone up the error is sitting behind the keylock waiting for me.
    Obviously I have done nothing yet for this new memory error, but I've tried everything for the reseting.  Deleting software, Soft and hard resets, software updates, everything I and Sprint support can think of.  With this new Free space error now I am going to just take it to a service center and demand a new phone.  I think there is some kind of hardware error as I have done nothing in the programming.  No new programs, no deleted programs, no changed settings.
    I loved my Treo 650 and never had any problems with it.  I am getting very disappointed in Palm now though with these ridiculous problems.

  • How do you restric the number of songs downloaded at the same time?

    With the latest version of iTunes when I purchase an album from ITunes Store it starts to download upto three songs at the same time.
    This slows down the speed at which they are downloaded up to 6 times for each song what it takes when downloading a single song.
    Is there anyway to restrict the number of songs downloaded?
    You can pause all downloads and then manually download each one but then you have to sit at the computer the whole time.
    I'm using cable broadband with upto 512kbps.

    I have the same issue with TV shows. Purchasing more than one show starts downloads on several files (shows/songs/movies) at the same time. If I remember correctly, certain older versions of iTunes proceeded to download only one file at a time. If it finished one, it started the next on the list until the files were all downloaded, or the internet connection was interrupted, after which you had to "check for purchases" to start downloading where you left off.
    I wonder if there is a way to change that setting back to the old way? I'll be watching this thread for news...
