How to instal iMovie6 in my new iMAC

What is the best way to install iMovie6 to my new iMac that is on it's way...I read so much about how no one likes the new iMovie8. So should I use firewire and transfer it or should I use the disc? The reason I ask is because I have so many plugins in iMovie6 and it would be faster to use firewire. But then someone said it might knock out iMovie8. So another question would be should I rename iMovie6 before I transfer it to the new machine? Someone told me that adding iMovie6 to the new iMac may knock out iMove8.If I use the disc should I re-name iMovie8 first? Or would it be better to use the iLife6 disc to the new machine.
Thanks
Sue

Ellyn, while both of the previous solutions offered would get you iMovie 06 on your computer, they wouldn't get you all of your plug ins, and other documents currently on your existing mac.
When your new computer arrives, and before you start it up the first time, position it next to you existing mac. Connect the two with a firewire cable. Restart your old mac while holding down the T key. This will eventually produce a firewire logo on the screen of your old mac. When you see the logo you can let go of the T key. You haven't hurt your old mac or lost any info. You're starting it in TARGET mode to allow the new computer to transfer all of your old files when you boot it for the first time.
Now you can turn on your new iMac. It will go through a start up process and will ask you if you want to copy your old files from an existing mac. Click yes (or ok) and there ya go. It will take about 15 minutes to copy your files over, maybe longer if you have a lot.
But all of your existing software installs, documents, passwords, layout, and desktop preferences will be copied over. You can then set it up differently if you like.
This way, all of your plug ins, and you're existing iMovie preferences will transfer and be ready to go with your new computer.

How to install Windows XP on new iMac - Bootcamp or Parallels?

Hi
I'm very new to the Mac world. I just purchased a lovely new iMac.
I would like to install my Windows XP Professional (SP3) on to my iMac.
I purchased Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac and before I do anything, I want to know what I should do first.
Do I install the Windows disk through bootcamp first and then install Parallels Desktop 5?
or
Can I bypass bootcamp all together and install Windows through Parallels?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Parallels 6 comes out on the 14th.

If you will never want to run Windows natively, then you don't need Boot Camp. Otherwise, install first on its own partition, get it setup, then Parallels, and only then activate. Or reactivate. After you have Parallels Tools installed.
Really ought to check on Parallels forum.

To get the hang of OS X, no matter level of expertise, even though Apple has their 101 Help and Switching, "Missing Manual for OS X" is excellent 900pg reference to get the most out of it.

How to install windows xp on new imac (late 2012)

I just bought new 27 IMAC (late 2012) and want to install my Windows XP. Is it possible??

I don't think so: I used Win XP on Parallels Desktop in an iMac late 2012 21'. I wanted to use video editing programs, because I have severals old video projects to finish them. I used Pinnacle Studio 9 and 12, I wanted to get out the results and it was an horror: Those programs need competent videocards and no a virtualization of anyone. So all the time I've lost editing my videos I'm afraid is lost time of my life . However, for lighter tasks, Virtual programs are appropiate to use.
I hope this information be useful for someone.
Greetings.

Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete. What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?

How to install and reconfigure a new hard drive?
I installed a new hard drive from best buy for my "vintage" MacBook laptop. When I turned on the laptop and the flashing folder appeared, I need help?
I looked online for some clues. I put in the software disk I received when I bought the disk but I cannot select a destination volume to install the software. I tired to partition the drive within disk utility but there was an input/output error. Should I just plug in my external hard drive and hope everything reboots like magic ?
Thank you for any help you can give

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Have you carefully read iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud & iCloud on a Mac?, What do I need? If you are trying to run on Windows 7 on your iMac and ignoring OS X well you're pretty much on your own. You would need to look for supports on Windows forums. If you happen to use BootCamp there is a Bootcamp forum that you can post on for BootCamp and Windows assistance.

Can i install bootcamp on the new iMac late 2012 "27"?

can i install bootcamp on the new iMac late 2012 "27" without fushion drive?

You have two possibilities:
1. Buy the USB SuperDrive and install Windows from a disc.
2. Use an USB drive with the Windows 7 installer inside.
Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8, so you will have to wait. Also, the Late 2012 is only compatible with the 64-bit Windows 7 edition

I need some recomendations plz.

Hello,
you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)

How to install 10.7 os in imac i5 processor mac

how to install 10.7 os in imac i5 processor mac

If you are asking how to get Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, it must be purchased; it is not a free update. Lion may still be available if you call the online Apple Store, though a couple of recent threads have reported it as no longer available. If the Apple Store still has it, they will ask for your Apple ID and credit card number and will then send you a code which you can redeem in the Mac App Store. The installer will download to your computer and you just run that (having make a good backup of your data, of course) to install Lion.
Regards.
