How do I re-install Imovie

My new Imovie is acting very strange. It doesn't let me move events to an external hd and worse, the content library (transitions, titles etc) has disappeared.
Do I just delete it from my app folder or do I get rid of fhe library in the movies folder? Will I lose everything I imported already??
Also, can I use USB2 to export to a external HD or do I need only firewire?

iLife - and therefore imovie, iphoto etc is not supplied with 10.4.
Go figure!
That'd slipped my mind, sorry. The additional software that came with your iBook including iLife will all be on the supplied 10.3 disks though, albeit, obviously, the versions that were current at the time.
I'd still ask for 10.4 disk though.
Good luck,
Adrian

I'd suggest a fresh reinstall of iMovie then. Delete the Application and re-download from the Mac App Store. You should see something like this:

How do I re-install iMovie when it was pre-installed on the iMac and no disks were in the box?

Hi,
I purchased my iMac in August 2011. It came pre-installed with iMovie and other iLife applications. Recently I have had some issues with iMovie (it crashes on start-up) and i came to the conclusion to try a re-install.
However as it was pre-installed and no disks were provided i'm a little confused how, without purchasing it again in the Mac App store. I have looked in the Mac App store in Purchases and iMovie or no other iLife apps appear there. So i know if i purchase it again i will be charged.
Can any one help - or has had this problem in the past?
Note: I am running Moutain Lion now but when it was purchased it had Snow Lepoard installed and as soon as I booted it up i installed Lion as i was given a free copy by Apple when i bought the Mac. If this helps anything.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Ralph,
I live in the UK and i have called apple support but it is all automated and as i don't have apple care they said that i would need to open an incident which would cost £35. iMovie on the Mac App store is only £10.50!
do you know of another way of contacting them for an issue like this? is there anyone i can speak to on an online chat?

Got iLife '08 preinstalled, how do I re-install iMovie?

This is the window I get when I try and open up iMovie...
"Missing QuickTime Components
The QuickTime components necessary to view, edit, import, and export several kinds of movies are not installed. These components are included with the iMovie installer, please re-install."

How can I re-install iMovie?

My iMovie was spasing out like crazy, I use it everyday and one day it just went crazy. So I removed it from my computer and THOUGHT I could just re-install it from the App Store but when I tried to "accept" it said These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Why is that??? I don't have the disc that my mac came with because I just moved and have no idea where it would be. I have searched all over the internet and found that nothing that helps. Please somebody help!!! I make Youtube videos and NEED my iMovie!
Thank you!

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.

How do I install iMovie HD and iDVD on a new iMac?

How should I proceed?
Thank you,

The improvements provided by iDVD 7 over version 6 are not confined to themes.
Happily having two version of iMovie is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
Then reinstall iMovie 11.
iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.

Re-installing iMovie 08, how?

Please help: my iMovie, installed via Leopard dvd, does not work properly and shows a music&sounds menu bar basically different from the one showed in the training movies published by Apple. Well no one seems to be able to help me about this bug so I decided to re-install iMovie from the dvd sent to me by Apple after having bought my new iMac, but i cannot find it on the dvd. The dvd is called upgrade wen i put it in my driver. How can I solve this problem please? THNX

Recently I installed iMovie 06 on my new iMac, because I didn't like the new iMovie 08. Basically because one cannot make chapters. iMovie 06 help isn't working and iDVD doesn't work too; iDVD was installed together with iMovie 06, there was no option.
In short, I am in the same boat; I want to have iMovie 08 and iDVD 08 reinstalled. Better not so good programs than buggy or not working programs.
My new iMac came with Tiger and an upgrade DVD with Leopard. I installed Leopard and everything worked fine, until I mixed up with the iLife programs. The upgrade DVD will only install and upgrade the system with all the tools and bells. However, I already made an update to 10.5.1, so I can only made a complete reinstall ... back to 10.5.0.
Another option is to buy iLife 08 and install the (not so good) software from the DVD/CD. Probably, I will wait and look for a friend who has iLife 08 and borrow it. I don't like this behavior, I can say the 99% of my software are legally purchased copies, anyway, I do have paid for the stuff, every dime.

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 iMovie '06 on my iMac?

I have the original iLife '06 and am having a problem installing iMovie '06 on my iMac 3.06, 2GB, running Mac OSX 10.5.8. I thought I had installed it, but when I booted it, this message popped up. "You cannot open the application “iMovie HD” because it is not supported on this architecture". I tried to install it again, using the "custom" install, but the name is gray and it cannot be selected. Could someone state the step by step installation instructions. I must be missing something.
Thanks, Rick

I tried the easy way as suggested by Silly rabbit and installed iMovie '06, but it altered iDVD, and now iDVD will not launch. The way I did it was: 1. booted the iLife '06 installation disk; 2. Moved iMovie '09 and iMovie '08 to the desktop; 3. Selected iMovie '06 from the "Custom" install option; 4. and clicked "Install". While iMovie '06 installing, I saw the iDVD icon flash a few times. After installation, I moved iMovie '09 and '08 back into the application folder and all three iMovie programs booted up, but iDVD did not. Help!

How do I install iMovie 11 on Mavericks?

I have a new, late model iMac, which is a great machine, but the new iMovie 10 does not have chapter markers. I would like to install iMovie 11(which does have chapter markers) in a folder within the appications folder. When I try to install the program, however, iMovie is grayed out and I can not install it. Is there a way to install it on an iMac running Mavericks?

Pacifist worked great! It is shareware, and the author requests a 20.00 donation. I was able to use Pacifist to extract iMovie 11 (version 9.0) from my old iLife disc and install it to a folder that I created in my applications. I opened iMovie and it works perfectly, but I of course tried to run update, and was able to download iMovie 9.0.9 (the latest update), but it would not install. I got an error message saying, "You already have the lateset version of iMovie installed."(iMovie 10 (version 13)) Needless to say I just turned back to Pacifist and extracted the .pkg into the same iMovie folder I created. I was able to open the updated iMovie 9.0.9 and then just dropped the "old" 9.0 into the trash. Thanks for the great tip.

How can I export an imovie in a pc format?

How can I export an iMovie to a format that will work on a PC?

Easiest was is to install QuickTime for Windows (which is free from Apple) on the PC. Then any iMovie-created file will work.
If you do not have permission to install QuickTime for Windows on your PC (this could be the case for a corporate PC, for example), then I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to MP4. Choose h.264 for the video codec.
