"imovie '09 will not install on your computer"

I've got a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 but imovie won't load because it requires a Mac computer with a graphics card that is compatible with Core Image. These include all systems with an Intel processor, or Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster) or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster). Am I missing something?

I'm having the same issue as musicmacs. I basicallyhave the same setup, Powerbook G4, but with a 867MHz PowerPC G4 Processor, not an Intel. I recently updated my system to 10.5.6 and iLife 09...foolishly. I really need iMovie or a similar application to import footage from mini-DV. QuiCKtime has poor quality, and I dabbled with iDVD and didn't find anything there. I tried installing previous iMovie versions, but to no avail, I couldn't cheat the system.
I'd be willing to install a new processor if that were my only option, but I researched that also and read that it's not possible on a laptop.
Does anyone have any suggestions for similar iMovie applications (or video import applications in general). I'm trying to figure out what my options are other than buying a brand new computer (which I would have debated before making the mistake of buying all the software included on new Mac's). Thanks.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer

I can not find solution to the issue "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer" while attempting to play the file with *.wmv extension. Some computer fail in spite of said missing codec
being present according the windrows media player in Windows 7 box

If Rashid's link does not resolve it... consider the below:
A) As of this writing, the codec for GoToMeeting webinar recordings ("G2M4" codec) was only mentioned in *one* web page, of about 10 Microsoft web pages I read, to resolve this problem (and that codec is not included, yet, in their diagnostic tool),
so if you're trying to play a GoToMeeting webinar, simply get the codec for it from their site: http://www.GoToMeeting.com/codec
B) If Windows Media Player (WMP) will not even open the file, you won't be able to get the 4-character codec's name (like "G2M4") from WMP. But VLC's media player will tell you that code, even when it fails to run the video.... and then you can
search the internet for it.
C) The problem sometimes is not actually a missing codec. Other things that have helped others, some from:

(1) running the System File Checker (SFC.exe),
(2) opening WMP first (running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) then opening the file from inside them,
(3) confirming that WMP was the file association for WMV files,
(4) Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, selecting my audio device, and looking for a "5.1" setting (I didn't have one), to change to "stereo",
(5) checking Tools\Options\Devices\Speakers\Properties\Speaker Properties\AdvancedPlayback\ Speakers /HP\Properties\Advanced\Default Format, to select "CD or DVD Quality" (if that setting appears for your device),
Good luck,

Down loaded Mavericks, will not install on my computer because it says "this hard drive is used for time machine back up".

Down loaded mavericks, it will not install on my computer because it says" this hard drive is used for time machine back up". So I used my old computer hard drive for back up and reloaded the program but it still says the first hard drive is being used.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Make sure you have selected your MacBook Pro's hard drive as the destination to install Mavericks. If so, you have the "Backups.backupdb" folder in the root level of your hard drive.
That's the folder used by Time Machine to store backups of your files, and the Mavericks installer understands that your internal hard disk is the Time Machine drive.
To fix this, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
Then, delete "Backups.backupdb", empty the Trash and run the Mavericks installer. Finally, install OS X Mavericks

Something seems amiss here.

Never mind!
Turns out that I was running a wounded system by removing the ARIRadeon9700.kext file so that the machine would complete a boot with the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Mac+PC edition. I reverted to the original 9600 64Meg card and went back to one monitor with the kext back in. With Quartz Extreme and Core Image supported again, the installer was happy. (Nice the generic error message was misleading, of course.)
Of course, until I can get the new card working properly, I will not be quite so happy.

Itunes 11 will not install on my computer??

Itunes 11 will not download on my computer. Itunes pop up saying it will not recognize my device unless I download latest version which I have done but still getting same pop up????

I figured it out. Just got off the phone with support took about an hour. First I uninstalled iTunes , after doing that it did not help. Finally realized The internet search engines I was using wasn't allowing me to download. I was using Firefox and explorer. So I downloaded google chrome. I went to iTunes.com and tried it again and then it finally asked me if I would like to run program. Finally worked. Hope this helps.

Mozilla/Firefox 4 will not install on my computer and I cannot uninstall any old Mozilla/Firefox programs and files still on my computer.

Firefox won't load onto my computer. I have Windows 7, and each time I try to run the program to install it, it tells me I have another version still waiting to be installed that requires my computer to reboot. When I check "yes" to reboot, my computer reboots but still no Firefox. When I try to uninstall the the old Mozilla program from my Control Panels, there is no Mozilla files or programs listed not in my list of programs but when I go directly to the Windows File on the C: Drive, there's a Mozilla program file there. WHen I go into that file check, I attempt to open the uninstall program. I get an error message that says something to the effect of: "the version Mozilla on this computer is not compatable with my OS." Something about it being and 86bit program. My Firefox 3.6 worked fine 2 days ago. What's wrong???

Ok, lets do a couple of steps here first:
To make sure your windows isn't corrupted because of the power outage, let's run chkdsk.
Click on My Computer, then right click your C: Drive (if you have other hard drives, you will want to run this on them as well). Then, click Properties. Inside that window, go to the Tools tab. Inside that tab, open up the "Check Now" button. That will open a smaller window. Select the checkbox to "Automatically fix file system errors", then hit Start. You will probably receive an error asking if you want to schedule the disk check, click Yes, then restart your computer.
Read [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265] for more information.
After running the chkdsk, then please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download a fresh version of Firefox. I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer to download Firefox. Instead of hitting Run, let's try hitting save. Remember where it saves the installer file on your computer.
After the download has finished, double-click and run the Firefox install. Once it is finished, try to start Firefox up. Let me know how it goes!

Software update in mountain lion offers updates for iPhoto and iMovie that will not install

Updated my iMac 2011 to Mountain Lion. Software Update now operates through the App Store. Third Party apps are OK but Apple's native Mac apps eg iPhoto, iMovie offer updates for installation that do not install.
Get this error eg for iMovie but similar for iPhoto and maybe others:
"We could not complete your update. iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
If you do as suggested, it reloads App Store software update and goes round again...
If I go to "Check for updates" in the iMovie menu it tells me it's the current version.
"This version of iMovie (9.0.8) is the current version."
The badge showing the count of apps requrining an update is also wrong.

Hi, just wondering, were any of Apple's Apps moved from there default location?

IMovie - movies will not play on any computer other than my own

I'm using an iMac G5 running OSX 10.3 and the resultant quicktime movie generated from a movie edit will only play on my computer. They will not play on any other machine, PC, Mac - even identical iMac G5s running OSX 10.3 like mine.
I get error messages such as:
'This movie file "Fade In 02" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly'
'Error - 128: an unknown error occurred'
The "Fade In 02" must be referring to the fading in section of my film but I have no idea why it can't be found.
Am I omitting some necessary action when creating the movie ?
Does anyone else get this problem?
Thank you
Dogton
G5 iMac Mac OS X (10.3)

Suggest that you crosspost in one of the iMovie Forums where all the iMovie users hang out. Hopefully, one of the knowledgeable users over there will see your post & help you out.
To play on a PC, change the title of the movie title "Fade In 02" to show like this--> FadeIn02.mov or use a suffix of whatever player the PC has.
See if that works.
Good luck!

My iMovie 9 will not install after formatting hard drive and installing Mavericks what are my options?

I have not used my iMovie ever since I formatted my Hard Drive and installed Mavericks. I went to put the disk in from when ilife was originally shipped with the computer and it just spits the disk right back out of the superdrive. Is there anything I can do to not have it just spit a disk out without asking for user input. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to buy the new version.

Here are the original specs of your computer. The specs state that the original hard drive was 320GB. You have since replaced the factory drive with a 1TB (1000GB) hard drive. The HP recovery routine seems to have issues with hard drives that deviate from the original size. The partition issues you are experiencing may be a result of this. As for the rest of your issues, it sounds like the SP3 install went bad.
If I were you, I would consider reinstalling the OS using your recovery discs by doing a complete "destructive" reinstall/recovery. Afterward, I would post the size of both the c: and d: partitions... and go from there.
