I can't install iMovie HD 6.0

Help!
I already downloaded iMovie HD 6.0 but i can't install it. I says that i need to install iLife '08 first in order to install imove HD 6.0 but i already install iLife 08
All of my Idvd, Imovie, Itune etc are all 08 version so still, why i can't install iMovie HD?.......so what can i do??
I really need it ..... I think iMovie 06 is better than iMovie 08 because in iMovie 08, all of the effects and themes are gone.
Thank so much

Hi Biw,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion forums!
I too had the same problem and now have the fix.
First make sure all applications are closed and go to: Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts
Delete the receipts that have to do with iLife: iWeb.pkg, GarageBand.pkg, etc. pretty much, the ones that start with i, even delete the itunes receipts. For example, iTunesX.pkg and empty trash.
Once you've deleted the receipts for the iLife '08 applications, go into your Applications folder and delete the actual iLife '08 applications as well: GarageBand, iTunes (you will not loose your music if you delete the application), iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, and iPhoto (You will not loose your photos if you delete the application) and empty your trash.
Next, restart your computer and after it restarts, put the iLife '08 DVD into your Mac and go through the installation.
After installation of iLife '08, you can run Software Update and get the first round of updates for iMovie, GarageBand, iPhoto, iTunes, etc.
After the first round of updates have been installed, try the iMove HD 6 installer again and it should work, It worked for me.
Once you install iMovie HD 6, you can grab the second round of updates for the iLife '08 applications through Software Update.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Hope this helps.

  • Can I install IMovie HD 6 if I already have IMovie 11 on my computer?

    Can I install IMovie HD 6 if I already have IMovie 11 on my computer?

    Happily this 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.
    Another method is to copy the iMovie HD app from an older G4 or G5 Mac application folder and put it directly into the application folder on the Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, in a new folder you create there, calling it iMovie Previous Version.

  • Can I install iMovie 5 on an Intel mac?

    Hello. I recently got a new Mac which came with iMovie 09 installed. If possible........I would like to also install iMovie 5 on the same machine (as I have lots of 3rd party effects with that version). So I'm wondering is this possible and how do I do it? I have my old install discs (1 and 2) for OS 10.2 and 10.4 ........I'm not sure which disk contains the iMovie 5 App. and how I would go about just installing iMovie 5 without the other iApps? Would there be any conflict in having the 2 iMovie Apps installed on the same Mac? Thanks for any help.

    Okay, this is odd. I have Snow Leopard which came with my newest iMac Intel desktop I purchased about six months ago. When I bought it, I imported all of my old programs from my old Mac which ran on the Tiger OS, including iMovie 5. I have been using iMovie 5 on snow leopard with NO PROBLEM for the last six months to edit and save footage, since I hate the new iMovie 09 and find it completely user unfriendly.
    However, today I was editing all afternoon, no issue, and then this evening I opened my project to start working, edited one transition and the program turned into a white screen and shut down. Now I can't open any imovie files on it. I tried deleting and importing the program again as I had originally, and it still won't load. What gives? How did it run perfectly for months and finally implode?
    I did run a software update yesterday, but I edited without issue for roughly five hours after that. I was only about an hour away from finishing my project, and now I can't even open it! Any ideas?
    I've heard there is a program called Rosetta - which was not installed when I bought the system but apparently is on the discs? - which can run some of the old programs. Would installing this solve the issue?

  • IMovie 08 Requirements. Can't install iMovie 08! Please help!

    I have a G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz PPC with 2gb of memory.
    I am trying to install iLife 08.
    The requirements say:
    iLife ’08 requirements
    Hardware: Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor
    • iMovie requires a Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster)
    • iDVD requires 733MHz or faster processor
    512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended; high-definition video requires at least 1GB of RAM
    I have the minimum.
    Why can't I install iMovie if i have the minimum requirements?
    Please help! I bought iLife 08 just to run the new iMovie. Don't tell me i have to purchase a new computer now?!?
    Thanks!

    As Ben says, solved, it is.
    Here's my little saga:
    Upon detaching the 24" from the ATI 9200 and restarting, the installation, including iMovie, went without a hitch. Again, this is with the 9200 still seated comfortably in its PCI slot.
    After reattaching the display and restarting, iMovie '08 would not even launch. I was greeted with a small dialog box:
    "*Quartz Extreme Required*
    iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme."
    The only button was Quit. As a comparison, I then launched iMovie '06. I was greeted with this:
    "*Your computer contains a graphics card which may not support iMovie.*
    iMovie requires a “Quartz Extreme Compatible” graphics card. Certain iMovie features such as Themes, Ken Burns Photos, and Video FX may not work properly with your graphics card."
    In this instance, however, my options were "Quit" and "Launch iMovie." Selecting "Launch iMovie" allowed me to use the application, but without the Quartz animations.
    Definitely a "kinder, gentler" iMovie.
    Whenever I wish to use either version of iMovie, I'll have to unplug the third display, and restart before I can get down to business.
    Two things of interest to me are:
    1) What would happen if I had unplugged the third display and restarted, launched iMovie (either version, but '08 especially), and then hot-attached the third display to the 9200? I'm curious to see what would happen. Naturally, attaching and un-attaching displays to a running Mac is not recommended, but it's been fairly common practice in the Mac repair shops at which I've worked. *I definitely do not recommend it, as you may end up frying something.*
    That being said, I'm still curious to see if iMovie would still run properly, freeze, or quit.
    2) Remember a few generations of Mac OS X back there was a little software hack called "PCI Extreme?" It's purpose was to fool an application into thinking you were Quartz enabled. There were many caveats, most notably that it could not perform magic on older cards, but many folks had success with it in Jaguar and Panther. Now, it seems, a few Tiger users are playing with it. The developer’s notes mention the following:
    "Unfortunately, because Apple hardcoded the setting into CoreGraphics, I'm not aware of a way to enable both AGP and PCI graphics quartz acceleration at the same time. If you know a way, please let me know."
    Therein, as the Bard tells us, lies the rub. Still, this avenue remains interesting. If I knew the first thing about coding, I'd delve into this to see if there was a method by which an application like iMovie would at least "ignore" the 9200 (as in this particular case) and just let the X850 XT do its thing.
    For the adventurous among you, PCI Extreme is still available and does, to some extent, function in Tiger. You can get a it at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8979#descContainer_link
    I agree that this issue is solved insofar as the boundaries of the initial question posted by Marc. It's the geeky can of worms that follows that will nag at me for a while.
    This is ironic, as I use iMovie so infrequently I shouldn’t be concerned by this, especially seeing as there is a work-around if at least one of your installed cards is, indeed, capable of baring the brunt.
    The biggest lingering issue, to me, is why can't we have a better, more powerful PCI option than the 9200? I suppose the answer is; "There is. It's called a Mac Pro."
    This has been a fun one. Good work, everyone!
    As always, I remain your humble crooner.

  • Can't install imovie

    I had it installed them when an update came up said I needed more space so opened up 1gb and uninstalled iMovie and now can't install at all - how large is the app??? I purchased it so would like to have it on

    If iMovie 08 is not installed, you cannot install iMovie HD6 from the free download.
    I don't think that this is correct. My iMac has the PowerPC chip, and therefore IMovie 08 could not be installed. Installation of the rest of the iLife 08 suite was completed without a problem. Once that was done, I learned (I forgot how) that I could get a free download of iMovie HD 6. The only difficulty that I encountered was what I described in my previous post, which was not finding the new program in the dock.

  • I can't install imovie

    I just went into the apstore to try and install imovie, but when i hit install it says i need 10.9.2 or later to install. all of my software is up to date. not sure what i can do about that. i dont have an old version or anything. i looked through the application folder and searched my finder
    anyone have ideas?

    Back up your data and try upgrading to Mavericks. If you get told that the computer’s incompatible, install iMovie from the computer’s original disks or a retail iLife DVD.

    Do you have this kind of problem too? or is there anyone else to have this prob?

  • Can't install iMovie HD 6 even though i have iLife '08

    i have iLife '08, yet i cannot install iMovie HD 6 (i downloaded it from the support site). What could be wrong?

  • Have I Movie 7.1.4, (from Life 08) but can't install IMovie HD

    Wondering if anyone had this happen. Went to the apple page where I could download IMovie 6 to use instead of the 08 version (7.1). But now the computer is telling me that Life08 isn't installed... I have leopard and what I thought was ILife08. Can you have the new IMovie with out having ILife08? Is there something I missing?
    any help would be appreciated.

    Your equipment list at the bottom informs that you are using 10.4.11, which is Tiger. You say you have Leopard, which is 10.5.
    If you have opened iMovie 08 on your Mac, then you have iLife 08 and you should be able to get the free HD6 download.
    Sometimes closing the apps and restarting your computer will correct these errors, but I am no tech junky so can't give a more definitive answer.

  • Can't Install imovie even though I meet the computer requirements

    imovie '09 says I need at least a dual G5 with 2 Ghz in order to install. Well that's exactly what I have but it's not recognizing that. Any ideas?????

    I figured it out. I had two graphics cards installed back when I had two monitors. But now that I only have one I had it plugged into the port with the graphics card that was not compatible with with imovie '09. So I moved the monitor to the other port and wallahhhh!!!

  • Can I install iMovie on multiple computers with same Apple ID?

    I have a work Mac owned by my company and a personal Mac; both were purchased brand new & are therefore entitled to a free copy of iMovie I believe. My workplace is telling me to sign in with my personal Apple ID in order to download iMovie. Will this cause problems for me in the future if I need to reformat my personal Mac & re-download iMovie?

    No, it won't cause you problems.

  • Can I install iLife, iMovie on external hard drive

    I have a powerbook and way too many photos/video cuts-have run out of hard drive space on my powerbook, have much stored on an extrernal hard drive (LaCie). But can't do much movie editing on the powerbook due to HD space limitations. Can I install iMovie, iphoto, iDVD on the esternal hard drive and work there? (250 GB vs the 60 on the powerbook!). If I do, will it delete the 90GB of photos I have on the external HD? Anything I whould worry about?

    Hi dianeh,
    to uninstall, in finder, you drag'n drop the app into the trashcan - a correct programmed app should vanish "restless"... some apps have/need/come with uninstallers, but not Garageband.
    you need to empty the trash to free diskspace, and you could use the "find" command to look for any "leftovers"; in case you find any, trash them manually by draggin' into trash......
    And:
    you're able to reinstall GB from your installer/recover disk, in case you need it later..........

  • Can I install my Macbooks iMovie HD6 disc on to my new MacbookPro?

    I have a Macbook with iMovie HD 6 on it. I will soon be buying a new Macbook Pro which will have iMovie 09 but I still want to be able to use imovie HD 6 on this as well. Can I install iMovie HD6 on to the new MacbookPro from the macbooks install disc?

    what I've read here and on some other boards: No.
    but.. do you like to be my guniea pig...
    (I can not try my own on my setup)
    I would try:
    re-name on the new Mac the iMovie app to.. like, iMovie_new (single click app, both keys apple-i, change name, return.. )
    then insert the installer disks, choose a custom install of iMovie
    IF it does work, re-name iMHD6 to something like iMHD_old and re-name iMovie_new back to iMovie09..

  • Can't install new loops/instruments in GB '08

    I went to install iLife 08 on my iBook yesterday. I did a custom install because I didn't want to install all the apps right away. For Garage Band, I noticed that the option for installing additional loops and instruments was grayed out. It would not allow me to even check it.
    What's going on? Why can't I install the new loops/instruments that are part of GB '08?

    So, I installed GB 08
    Then, I went back to the installer. I can now check the garage band add ons option. Except that I can't check just that. It forces me to check the main garage band install box as well. I assume that means it would re-install GB, just to get those extras??
    Also, sounds and jingles still can't be checked. It says there is stuff for GB and iMovie. I can't install iMovie since my G4 ibook won't run it, but I would think I would still be able to get the sounds and jingles to use in GB.
