I movie hd into my new i mac that came with i movie only!

I just got a new i mac dual core 24". I have a older i=mac with imovie hd and upraded to ilife 08. I was able to retrieve the old version of i movie hd from my applications folder as old version. Now i have gotten a new i-mac and do not see any other versions other than imovie (which i do not like at all-it's a joke) I am curious as to how to go about getting imovie hd in this big bad boy so it can make real movies. hope you can help me have a pulse again.

thank you neil, since i have a bunch of third party add ons to imovie hd, could i make a copy of the application in my older i-mac and burn it to a disc, then put it in the new i-mac to hopefully keep all my upgrades? or does this file copying even work that way. I am now aware that i can do the download now (thanks to you) just wondered if the other option would work in your opinion.

  • Apple OS 10.5.8 on new macs that came with Snow Leopard!

    I want all who read this to know that I am and have been using OS 10.5.8 on my Imac 21.5" core 2 duo that came with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Everyone at Apple said it could not work but that is wrong. I am running OS 10.5.8 in a Bootcamp partitian with great success. I do have the original OS 10.64 as the main OS but usually run os the Boocamp partitian so I can run Logic Studio 8. This OS will not recognize the internal Airport and lacks some features that I did not have before anyway. I connect DSL through Ethernet hardwire, which is faster anyway.

    I will probably try installing it on a back-up drive firts. That is one of the recommended steps to get freehand to work with snow anyways. The goods news is we have Macbook pro we purchased in march and a imac G5 that I sent the logic board out to get repaired. I really need to get the G5 running because that is where a lot of the data is we need. Mailboxes, address books etc.
    Have you tried using the G5 as a target disk via firewire?
    Why do upgrades always have to be so painful and exciting at the same time.
    I dunno, it is part of the fun though. It is especially painful right now where the OS is evolving and older software and peripherals are being transitioned out.

  • Extension cord.  Travel a lot globally--based in HK.  Bought new MA that came with huge HK only 3 prong plug that is useless in most of world.  Asked to get a US-stlye 2 or 3 prong: For addl US$79+tax not avail HK. Ship from US?? Ha.

    Based in HK--a very intl city.  Travel constantly thoughout Asia and N Amer for biz.  Bought MA, at new HK Apple store, that came with lg HK- 3-prong plug on thick extension cord that's useless.  Asked store for a US 2-prong cord as much easier and universal to travel with and easy to use adopters. Not available thru Apple in HK; avail in US for addl US$79+tax if I am there t pick it up or with shipping (!!) we are talking a $100 addl cord expense on top of the $1,700 cost of the MA.  Apple: get to understand the needs of your customers: they are increasingly global.  (BTW: an adapter kit that needs to be used 100% of time is NOT the answer as it just creates a Mickey-Mouse solution.)

    You are not talking to Apple.  Apple does not read or respond to any posts here.  We are just users like yourself.   Here is where you should direct your comments: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • HT1766 How to restore an IOS7 back up to a new replacement Ipad2 that came with IOS6.3

    Hi all I have just replaced my wife's broken Ipad2 with a replacement Ipad2 from our local Apple Store. The new IPad 2 came with IOS 6.3 but the old backup was in IOS7.4 I have set up the new iPad with Ios7.4 as in its native state it wouldn't restore the backup as it said it needed to be iOS 7.4 to restore so I had no choice other than set it up as a new iPad My question is ...How do I restore the old back up? Now that I have the correct operating system in place.
    I'd appreciate some help. Thanx

    Set up the new one as new. Give it a new name, any random name. then go into the settings, erase all content and settings, then restore it from the backup of your old one.
    basically set it up as new long enough to update the iOS, then put your backup on it.

  • Can I install Mavericks on a Mac that came with Yosemite pre installed?

    I just bought a brand new Mac with the following specs:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
    It came with OS X Yosemite installed. Though I love all the new features, this new OS doesn't support some important Apps I need to install. Could I say, install Mavericks on a partition of my HDD? I've looked on several forums and haven't found any good answers. Some folks say it's tricky. Others say it can't be done. Could anyone help?
    -Chris

    It cannot be done.

    Best.

  • My new Menu Button that came with the latest update is now missing.

    I removed the button because it was bothering me thinking there would be no repercussions but now I can't find it because it contained the customization menus. I have searched through the other menu options but the only route to the customization is now hidden in the now missing button.

    Are you using the Classic Theme Restorer extension?

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list

    *You can make the the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

    Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

  • My 2012 Mac Mini came with a SSD and with Yosemite, can I add a SSHD and also migrate everything from a Macbook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.5?

    Hi Apple Community,
    Today I received a refurbished 2012 i5 Mac Mini that I purchased via Amazon. The Mac Mini came with a 256gb Samsung SSD only installed. The Mac Mini also has 10.10.2 Yosemite.
    I am planing on ordering an "OWC Data Doubler Mounting Kit" to add another drive onto the Mac Mini.
    (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/)
    I also plan on getting a second drive which would be a 1tb SSHD Black Western Digital (16GB SSD) 2.5 SATA III (6.0GB/s) 5400RPM drive.
    Now here is where I am a very confused and concerned. What I essentially want to do is use Migration Assistant to completely migrate what I have on a 2012 i7 Macbook Pro's 750gb HDD to the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD drive. I want every file and setting to be placed on my new Mac Mini just the way it is on the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro is however using 10.7.5 Lion while my new Mac Mini is using 10.10.2 Yosemite.
    What makes me confused is, if I migrate everything from the Macbook Pro onto the 1tb SSHD, would I still be able to benefit by having the 256gb Samsung SSD in the Mac Mini? For instance, would the Mac Mini still be able to boot up super fast and use the SSD to write and read programs very fast? Or is it because I am migrating everything from my Macbook Pro's HDD onto the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD, my Mac Mini will not be able to use the speed benefits of the SSD?
    Another concern is, will I be able to use Yosemite or will I be stuck with 10.7.5 Lion? I would only like Yosemite. I do not mine if Lion is removed from my new Mac Mini.

    UPDATE:
    Hi again,
    I made more research on raid and now I am considering not to raid at all.
    Raid0 seems extremely risky because I do not know how the SSD and SSHD would react together.
    And Raid1 seems like it would not be able to function the way I would like to store my files. [The SSD is 256gb and SSHD is 1tb, there is no point in raid1]
    I think I will just have to add the second drive and use it without raid. I will mostly save media files such as movies, pictures, and music. And for everything else, save it onto the SSD's storage.

  • I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma   I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.   The receiver has two HDMI  inputs in the back.

    I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma + I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.
    The receiver has two HDMI  inputs in the back.  However they say they are not for PC's.  Furthermore they must be set up by going to the home menu.    I tried everything, but I can not get the receiver to talk to the Apple TV. I even tried a connector that uses an HDMI to the Apple TV that has the other side of the cable as 5 RCA cables.  I could not get the receiver to see the Apple TV.   I have a newer TV in the house, it has no problem talking with the Apple TV.  But this older system seems to be handicapped in its ability to talk with the newer Apple TV system.
    My Email is [email protected] 
    Do you have any suggestions
    Thanks
    Bob

    I could not access the Apple TV on the television.   If I put the Apple TV directly into by TV, I have an external sound system (entertainment system), therefore I worry that I would by pass the audio.
    Thanks for taking your time to attempt to help!   Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    - Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
    - Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?
