G4 Power PC Powerbook wants brand new iLife 08, Will it work?

OK, boys and girls.
As a mac follower for the last five years I have always keep up to date with the iLife & each OS! But, I have just bought iLife 08 and I feel as though the little machine I am using will have issues taking the App! I have an old powerbook which has had a real beating over the last four years but kept going for me through thick and thin...
I have been reading the discussions about issues you lot have been having with iMovie 08, I myself have checked the minimum reqs and feel as though we have finally found apple software is leaping in front of their older hardware. I just bought the iLife and don't even fancy taking it out of the wrapper as I can still get a refund.
So, with my 867 Mhz and 640 mb of SD RAM, even though it's a G4 I am of the opinion that I will have issues!
Anyone out there had iLife 08 upgrade issues with an older powerbook?
I will patiently wait until I have some responses before I take the **** thing out of the wrapper!
Yours
Liam120.

Hi Specs, thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I'm afraid I am going to have to return the iLfe and wait until the lauch of Leopard, invest in a new machine (I feel it's time) and and then the new OS and iLfe will be pre-installed. It is a great machine but it does stress somewhat with the newer graphics, I should have remembered the time that expose wouldn't animate the 'ripple' effect with Dashboard, so if it has problems there, the new iMovie will just be impossible!
Cheers Specs

    You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
    Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

  • Brand new Itouch has totally stopped working...??? is it the battery or is there a freeze/lock button that was activated?

    Brand new Itouch has just stopped working.....no response...battery seemed to be fully charged and then my daughter hit the button to shut the screen off..now no response whatsoever.....???

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't help, try a Restore.  From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
    There's more but let's take it in small bites.
    Also, read this.
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

    hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • If my iphone 5 has a problem within the first 30 days will apple replace it with a brand new one or will i get a refurbished model.

    if my iphone 5 has a problem within the first 30 days will apple replace it with a brand new one or will i get a refurbished model??

    If it is replaced under warranty, it will be replaced with a unit from the "replacement stock", which either will be a refurb or new (no way to distinguish these) and the S/N will indicate a replacement unit.
    The "30 day" rule varies from county to country, and applies only to returns, not replacement.

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

  • I am heading out to the US from NZ and I want to buy an Iphone, Will it work in NZ if I buy from Apple and do not connect to any network until back in NZ? Thanks

    I am heading out to the US from NZ and I want to buy an Iphone, Will it work in NZ if I buy from Apple and do not connect to any network until back in NZ? Thanks

    When you get to the States, if you will be in an area with an Apple store for a couple days, call and ask about reserving an unlocked iPhone, it takes a couple days to get it in the store from what I understand.
    The current MBP 15" models are 2.2 and 2.4 GHz i7 machines.  There is a 17" with 2.5 GHz i7.
    The difference, in addition to the slightly faster cpu, is:
    2.2 GHz - Radeon HD 6750 M with 512 MB VRAM
    2.4 GHz - Radeon HD 6770 M with 1 GB VRAM
    Both have the same hard drive, 750 GB 5400 rpm, both have the same primary graphics - Intel 3000.
    So the difference is in the discrete grapics processor, important for heavy video work, heavy gaming...but will drain the battery a lot faster.
    You can get all the details on any Mac computer by going to http://www.everymac.com and click on the model and then scroll down to the exact machine of interest.

  • Brand new ipod nano will work when attached by cable either to a power adaptor or usb port but stops immediately when disconnected, despite being put on charge with different adaptors. Battery indicator remains constantly on lightning flas symbol and whit

    My Brand New ipod nano (sold to me two days ago by Apple as replacement for previous ipod nano -15 months old and therefore out of warranty - which had suddenly stopped functioning altogether) will operate only when attached by cable to either power adapter, usb port on my laptop or when playing on a docking station. When detached, it stops playing and screen goes dark and it will not respond to any buttons, despite being charged several times for many hours on different chargers. The battery indicator stays on lightning flash symbol on white background and has only momentarily shown fully charged symbol once !
    I am baffled as to why this new ipod has a similar problem to the old ipod.
    Is there a virus out there which can have this effect and which I may have picked up on my Pc and have inadvertently transferred to both ipods when sync-ing ?
    My PC has Norton anti-virus software.
    Any suggestions , please ?

    Sounds like the Nano has a faulty battery.  You should be able to have Apple swap it out again for you at no cost.

  • Brand new 27" iMac will not sleep

    I have a brand new iMac 27" and it will not sleep.  It just turns itself back on again.
    I have the same hardware peripherals as I did on my 20" iMac.
    I tried the energy settings, shutting off the wireless mouse, and I still can't get it to sleep.
    I have read I can shut down "processes" but I'm afraid to as I don't know which ones to shut down and I don't want to mess up the system.
    27" iMac
    Processor:  3.4 GHz Intel Quad Core i7
    Memory:  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    Lion 10.7.1
    EDIT:  I just tried to make it sleep by using a schedule and it worked.  It stayed asleep.  So what do you think?
    Anyone?
    I would really appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks

    Try holding down command-option-P-R at boot time. Let it chime. Keep holding the keys down until it chimes again, and then release them, and see if it boots OK.
    If that doesn't work, then power it off again, unplug it from the wall, wait 30 seconds, plug it in and try.
    If that doesn't work, then reboot it, hold down command-R at boot, and try to get to the recovery partition. If you do, launch Disk Utility and try and verify the disk.

  • IMovie in iLife '08 will not work on a PowerBook G4 and....

    What a pain.
    1) Install the new OS X Leopard -- discover iMovie and iDVD no longer work
    2) Get the new iLife 08 -- discover the new iMovie does not work on a PB-G4
    Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"
    Model Identifier: PowerBook3,5
    Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
    Processor Speed: 1 GHz
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    3) Okay Apple what do we do now?
    4) Is this a forced hardware upgrade???
    Thanks for the help.
    All the best,
    jh

    Our powerbooks can not run iMovie'08. Not enough horsepower.
    That is why we are offered a free download of iMovie '06.
