How do I install iMovie 6HD on a new iMac

My neighbor just got a brand new iMac (nice!) and I was telling him that iMovie 6 has features that he would find helpful. He purchased iLife 08 when he bought his iMac, but when we download iMovie 6HD it won't let him install. Does anyone know a work around?
Thanks

We tried that but when the installer is launched it says that iLife 08 must be installed on the machine - and it is. Somehow this machine does not recognize that iLife 08 was preinstalled from the factory. Any thoughts?

How do i install iMovie 6 onto my new imac with iLife 8?

I have a new imac with iLife 8 installed with Leopard.
I can't get used to the new iMovie 8 and want to instal iMovie 6 (which i am used to and find great).
Can anyone recommend how i can do this?
I don't want to change the other iLife apps, only iMovie 6.
Also the new imac is not at home and not connected to the internet, is there anyway i can do this without being online? can i download a DMG on a different mac and instal on the new one?
Thanks very much
Dave

no.
follow advice given here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2281
basicly: think twice before setting any checkboxes and hitting any 'install' button
I would try the installer disks of your G5.. probably contains iMHD6 ..

How do I install Adobe CC on my new iMac?

How do I install Adobe CC on my new iMac? It was on my old iMac (still is).

Works the same way. Download the CC app and install it, then take it from there after signing in. Sign out on the old machine, if you no longer use it.

It's distributed as a disk image file. Double-click the file. A disk image will mount. Drag the application in that image to the Applications folder. Eject the image by dragging its icon on the Desktop to the Trash. You can then delete the disk image file.

How do i install Logic Studio on my new iMac without CDD?!

Hi!
I'm getting my new iMac 21,5" delivered tomorrow, and i want to install Logic Pro the first thing i do. But, the thing is i bought the Logic Studio a few years ago, and i got the software on CD! Now, how do i do to install it on my iMac? Is there a way to register my product on App Store and then download it? I'm not so hyped on buying the software again on App Store or buying an external disk drive ONLY to install Logic! :/ Please help me out!
Thank You,
Tomas

You have to buy the USB SuperDrive, but if you have an older Mac, you can use Remote Disc to install it

How do I install CS5.5 to a new iMac?

Just got a new iMac and want to put CS5.5 on it from an old computer. Not sure how to do it. Thanks for the help.

If you don't have the disc then download it, install it, and use your serial number to activate it. You might find a download link in your Adobe account online if you originally downloaded it from Adobe. You can also use the link below to locate a download.
CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-5-product-downloads.html
If you need your serial number, check your Adobe account online. It should be there if you registered the software.

Any way to get iMovie '04 onto my new iMac ?

I loved iMovie '04. I hate every iMovie thereafter. I still have my iLife '04 disk and have tried to install iMovie '04 onto my new iMac without success. I get a message that says it is no longer supported. Is there any possible way to get my iMovie '04 back? If not, are there any video making aps available that are similar to the iMovie '04? I really don't need anything as 'meaty' as Final Cut Pro or as expensive. I just want my old iMovie back. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks ~

I believe I said there is a workaround for FCE 3......
As for iMovie, I have and use iMovie HD - but I only have the .dmg download (v. 6.04) that Apple offered for dissatisfied iMovie 08 owners.
However, one could try to install a retail iMovie HD from an iLife 06 disk (might find one on ebay) and it may or may not be automatically updated by Software Update. One would have to make sure NOT to have a later version of iMovie installed at that point. Since I've had no problem with the .dmg, I'd assume the installer is Intel.
As for the install of the v. 6.04 .dmg: it requires that iLife/iMovie 08 be installed first. Then, install the .dmg; after that, run Software Update. If desired, can then install newer versions of iLife - any subsequent iMovie version installer should move the iMovie HD into a "previous version" folder and install the newer version in addition. However, I do not know if that works with a fresh v. 6 install - it does with the .dmg install - it may or may not remove the iMovie HD (the .dmg was configured specifically to work in addition to a newer version).

How do I install iMovie on my iMac?

I recently bought a new iMac computer. I own a MacBook Pro and purchased iMovie and about three other apps on this device. When I tried to sync all of my apps to the new iMac I noticed that iMovie (and the three or so other apps I bought on my MacBook Pro) does not appear in my iTunes library. Also, when i go to the apps store to search for iMovie, it states that it's already 'installed' and won't let me select it.
My question: How do I install iMovie (which I've already purchased) on my iMac when it doesn't appear in my iTunes library?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried to redownload the app - but was not given that option. When I search and find the app in the app store, it states that the app has been installed and won't let me select it for download.

Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully. However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6. In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I understand that iMovie HD is universal, not PowerPC. How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
Thanks

OK, I made some progress.
I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

i am going to buy a bigger hard drive. i am operating on Lion. how do i install my os on the new disk? i can't use time machine.

Plug this new drive as an external drive, boot from lion recovery "command-R" more info here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
Open disk utility, format and partition the disk at your will (allways Mac OS plus...) and go ahead with the install, don't care if it tells you to whait thousands of hours, I did get installed in 2 hours and a half last week.
If you can't plug the disk as an external one, you'll have first to do an USB disk recovery utility, as easy as download the recovery utility and install it in an USB disk, you can find anything from the link above, plug the disk as a single master, and boot from the USB you created before.
Tell me how it went!!!
