How To Downgrade iMovie HD to NOT HD version, 6-5 or 4 without CD software?

I won my Power PC G4 on a computer giveaway in my college. They didn't provide any software. I upgrated to Mac OS X (I bought the software) I have the 10.4.9 version installed.
I had iMovie (don't know exactly which version) on my Mac, but I never had an original software CD.
I bought I Life '06 to be able to get the new updated versions of everything, including iMovie.
Unfortunatelly my computer does not support HD, so I was wondering if there is any way I could possibly DOWNGRADE from the iMovie HD to the previous NOT HD version, I don't know if it was iMovie 6, iMovie 5, or iMovie 6... But without having the original CD software.
Thank you for your help!

As Niel pointed out a few weeks ago, iMovie 3.0.3 - which was free - is still available for download from Apple here.
However, it's not as stable, or as useful, as later versions, and you do need to be careful with it: DO NOT EMPTY THE IMOVIE TRASH when you use this version, until you've completely finished your project and have backed it up, or burned it to a disc or sent it back to tape. Emptying the Trash can sometimes corrupt projects when you're using iMovie 3.0.3.
It should be able to co-exist with other versions of iMovie in your Applications folder, and it has its own 'Preference' file, so it shouldn't cause problems if you have both iM 3.0.3 and iMovie HD on the same Mac. But you may not be able to open, in iM 3.0.3, a project created with a later version.
I don't know, but there may be a QuickTime conflict, too, and you just might have to downgrade to an earlier version of QuickTime if you have problems with iM 3.0.3.

  • How to downgrade my OS to the previous version

    Dear SIrs,
    Since I had the newest upgrade of my BB Q10 to 10.3.1.1565, it has gone a bit crazy as follows:
    The phone warms very quickly
    Battery is being lost in shorter time
    The phone restarts by itself
    How can I downgrade to the older version ?
    Thanx and Regards
    Amin

    The warm and shorter battery life if not uncommon the first few days, and will go away.
    If you notice extreme heating of the battery, do a reboot in this manner:
    With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
    The spontaneous restarts... can you tell me what is happening at the time, if you have noticed anything common?

  • How to downgrade my blackberry curve 8520 from version 8.2.0.18 to version 5.1

    Good day,
    I wipe my phone and want the older version of Blackberry and still i battle to get my facebook and bbm working.
    Please help me to downgrading my Blackberry curve 8520 to older version.
    I dont want version 8.2.0.18
    I battle to get my facebook working and dont like this new version
    please,please help me!!!!
    regards

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
    2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
    6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
    If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
    KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Good luck and let us know!

  • How to show whole slide thumbnail not cropped version

    A Keynote presentation is a custom 3:1 format how do i get the navigator to show whole slide thumbnail not a cropped version

    This is a bug/lack of functionality within Keynote 6. As of 6.5, there is no way to show the entire slide in the navigator view section if it's wider than 16x9.
    And for those curious, this was not an issue in Keynote 5.

  • Can, where, and how you download iMovie 4.0.0 (main version)?

    My PowerBook G4 gigabit ethernet had Panther on it, so I completely reformatted it and put Tiger on it. Turns out Tiger doesn't include iMovie 4 like Panther did. I rightfully own it, but the installation on my eMac got a mind of its own and broke as stated years ago, and I've reformatted every Mac that had Panther on it, with the exception of my iMac G3 3rd gen (slot loading) that I don't have access to at the moment. Does anyone know where I can download iMovie 4.0.0? I can only find the 4.0.3 update.

    Hi
    No iMovie has been download-able for free - EXCEPT iMovie 1
    The rest came pre-installed on the Macs.
    NON - of them came on any Mac OS Install Disks bought extra (without a Mac)
    There might been some delivered on the DVDs that came with the buy of the Mac. You'll need to find this diak and use "Pacifist" to separate the iMovie install part to be able to use it.
    Still there is no free legal version that works on Mac OS X. I don't think iMovie 1 runs at all.
    My notes on iMovie 1 to HD6 History - If You are interested - If not just skipp it - Don't be inpolite - as we are giving time and efforts to try to be of help (we even pay Internet time to do so) - Not a cent from Apple at all - We are just users like You. Please BE KIND - We try to.
    iMovie History 1 - 6
    Movie 1 (oct 1999)
    • free to download from Apple.
    • A gigantic step to open up Non-destructive Non-linear video editing possibly for everyone.
    • FULL Video Quality from start - same engine as FinalCut Pro (QT)

    • Shelf can hold more than 9 to 12 clips. Scroll-ably
    • Zoom in/out on TimeLine
    • Fast/Slow-mo slider

    1. - Do not Empty the Trash Basket in iMovie any version -
    • Strange errors occurs and varies reg. version of iMovie
    • The eventual gain in doing so - is not correct - it can’t trash movies if even just one frame is used in the TimeLine. So the figure given doesn’t reflect the eventual retrieved memory space at all.
    So Just forget it. - Most safe way to work.
    Emptying the Trash Basket on DeskTop/Finder - IS OK to do.
    2. Audio problems when using a transition.
    Medicine.
    • Start to select video-clip before and after the place for the transition
    • Extract Audio (from Advance menu)
    • Now apply transition
    • Eventual fine tuning of the ends of the  extracted audio clips
    3. ”Share to iDVD” forces iMovie to render movie - and for miniDV interlaced tape material - BADLY in till day known all iMovie versions ! - Just drop movie icon into iDVD project or import from within iDVD gives a much better result.
    4. iMovie behaves strangely when free space on boot hard disk is <1.5Gb, slow under 5Gb
    and stable over 10-25Gb

  • How do I turn on my Notes on my mac for the iCloud without having to make yet another @me account?

    All I want to do is save my hundreds of notes without having to email them to myself one by one.  So I switch the on button for Notes on my iPhone, and it prompts me to make an @me account.  I'm pretty sure I already have one but I make it anyways.
    Then I go to my computer to switch on the Notes for my mac so that they can hopefully sync, but it prompts me yet again to make a new @me account.
    Someone please help, I just want to save my Notes without having to make 5 accounts that'll be around forever.

    That's not the way it's supposed to work. Once the account is created somewhere, you should be able to connect to that same account (same AppleID) on the other device(s).

  • How to convert editable pdf into non-editable version for printing option only without setting up passwards?

    I am using IOS system with pdf preview functions. I try to convert editable pdf file into read only for others to print without access to edit the file.
    The only way I can do now is to convert to jpeg for each page and convert back to pdf then combine all pages together. It takes a lot of time in this case.
    Can anyone tell me how to do the conversion without setting up passwards for protection?
    Thank you very much!

    First of all, don't use all CAPS as it means shouting.
    Second, your question is completely off-topic for this forum which discusses Microsoft Office Outlook.
    Third, this is a peer-to-peer forum, don't count on anyone calling you. If you want dedicated support from Microsoft, contact Microsoft Support directly.
    Anyway, you can insert the picture in to OneNote and then have OneNote convert it into text. This usually isn't very accurate for scans though.
    A better solution would be to use a application which is dedicated to OCR. There are various out there. I suggest you try their demo versions to find out which works best with your handwriting.

  • Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

    Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

    Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

    I saw a post on how to load iMovie 6 without deleting iMovie 9 or iLife 11 I can't find the post now does anyone know if this is possible. I do not want risk not being able to reload iMovie 9 it appears that I would have to reload the whole  iLife suit

    Could have been mine!
    Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 9 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks.
    Now re-install iMovie 9. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
    Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
    (No quotes)
    Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
    This works with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • How to: Downgrade from OS 9.2.1 to OS 9.1 or Earlier

    Been looking everywhere for an answer...
    I have a PowerBook 2400c, won't boot into anything over OS 9.1. I have installed onto a hard drive OS 9.2.1 and now I have just learned it is not compatible with pre-G3 machines. I get an error message when trying to boot into OS 9.2.1 on the 2400c that the system is not supported, and it is overlayed the OS 9.2 Boot Window.
    Since I only have a full, retail OS 9.2.1 install CD, and nothing earlier, I am looking for a way to downgrade it to OS 9.1. I tried to just install the 9.1 update overtop the 9.2.1 system, but it will only install it overtop OS 9.0-9.0.4.
    By the way, and this is just for information, OS 9.2.1 is installed on a CF card. I boot my older machines with Systems installed on CF Cards: they are inserted into the PowerBooks via a PCMCIA/CF Card adapter. They all work great, and this is in no way a cause of the problem.
    So does anyone know how to downgrade OS 9.2.1 - OS 9.1 when one only has (1) Full OS 9.2.1 retail install CD (2) OS 9.1 Update Installer???
    Thanks.

    Move the card onto a system where it is usable, and then run the patched version of the 9.2.2 update on it. The Mac OS 9.1 updater can't downgrade a 9.2 or newer system; that capability requires a Mac OS 9.0 or 9.1 CD.

  • A very important site, does not function properly anymore, how can i go back to an earlier version of firefox

    Before i downloaded your firefox 8.0.1, I used firefox to 'save as' the ''Unrealized gain/loss page'' from a brokerage account, - for my ongoing historical financial records file (safari doesn't work for this site).
    On the Unrealized gain/loss page, there is a '+' symbol (in front of each stock owned) that one needs to 'clic' on (turns to a -) to see the various dates (and financial data) when you purchased different lots of the same stock. (say, ''IBM''; purchased IBM shares on 21-10-'11, 100 shares, @ $147, current price @ $180, gain of $33/share, total gain $3,300 / 10-14-'11 purchased 200 IBM shares, @ $191, current price @ $180, loss of $11/share, total loss $2200 / - and so on for however many individual 'lots' one has of that particular stock. ). This information is very important to me, and now i can not 'save' it.
    - So I want to know how I 'fix' this - or - how I can go back to the earlier version, that did work.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    I've been making some clips anywhere from 6 seconds to 15 seconds long, and I just wanted if there are any good links on how to use iMovie 2013 version. I've looked on youtube but everything on their are old clips or small clips on how to run the program. I'm not an advanced user but i've picked up some of the basics on iMovie. I just want to learn the basics and advance onto the harder setups with iMovie. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
