How do i download imovie without upgrading my older mac to os x lion?

It seems like I cant download Imovie from apple any more without accessing the app store, which needs you to download the new lion os in order to work. My mac cant handle lion as its a bit older, so how can i just get the imovie software without doing this!?

Well you didn't tell us what Mac you have so this is a bit of guess. You are wrong in your assuption that to get the app store you must upgrade to Lion. In fact all that you need to do is upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6. So if your Mac can be upgraded to Snow Leopard you can get the app store.

  • How can i download imovie '11 if i dont have the latest mac software

    how can i download imovie '11 if i dont have the latest mac software
    and should i download the next version of mac software or does it slow the computer down
    thanks

    The easiest way is to install Mountain Lion, and then you can download iMovie 11. If your Mac is supported by Mountain Lion, performance should be fine.
    The other way would be to try to find a retail boxed copy of iLife 11 from eBay or Amazon. You can then install iMovie 11 up to version 9.04. But that is it, you cannot get 9.07 without at least installing Lion.

    I will assume you mean Acrobat Standard XI.
    They can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use the serial number you purchased for them to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

    i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

    I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased  any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered  them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me  the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

    Give each a different name. When each is connected set up your desired configuration for each one. iTunes will sync each according to the configuration you have made for each one.

  • How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

    How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

    Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5  has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2?

    How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2? I can open the GarageBand Documents folder through iTunes while the iPad is sync'd but I can't seem to "add..." any of my old .band folders to the iPad to be able to view those music projects. When I tried I could only sync individual data files contained in the .band folders over to the iPad and there was no way to organize them into .band project folders. What can I do here to get these GarageBand projects onto my iPad for further use?

    This is not currently possible. You can transfer an iPad project to the Mac, and transfer songs/loops from the Mac to iPad, but not GB files from Mac to iPad.

  • Can't redeem codes for Keynote, Pages, iPhoto, iMovie without upgrading to Yosemite

    I work in a school where I have been working updating 8 2008 macbook pros to Mavericks. I finished 7 of them before the weekend. I started on the final one today but now I can't redeem the codes in the app store because it wants me to update to 10.10.
    I don't want to update to Yosemite, it appears to have numerous issues, particularly relating to speed on older macs such as ours.
    Frankly it seems ridiculous that I could be forced to upgrade as soon as the new OS is available. It is arrogant in the extreme of Apple to expect their customers to jump at their say-so. Is there no room for backwards compatibility?
    How can it be that over a single weekend the OS (Mavericks) goes from being the latest available to YOU MUST UPGRADE NOW?
    It beggars belief.

    If you have a question, ask it. If you want help solving this, then maybe you should consider contacting iTune store support. Though, if you take the same attitude with them, I wouldn't expect to get far.
