Imovie 5 compatible with iMovie 4 ?

I lost iMovie 4 in the process of stupidly erasing my hard drive.
Someone has given me a copy of iLife 5. Could someone pls tell me if iMovie 5 is compatible with iMovie 4 ? This iLife 5 does not include iDVD. The disk given to me is for systems without a Hard Drive.
Thanks
jc

Thank you for feedback.
I never bought iLife 04, it came installed in my OSX 10.3.0. However and unknow to me, iLife 04 must have been installed by the Apple retailer where I bought my computer from. My computer was delivered to me with the software fully installed; all I had to do was "switch-on" !
When I re-installed OSX with the Install / restore supplied disks (3), I find that I have iiMovie 3 / iPhoto 2 / iDVD 3.
iPhoto 2 does not want to open pictures I burnt onto a DVD disc using iPhoto 4; hence my research for an iLife 04 install disc which I can buy from eBay, but in meantime, an Apple engineer gave me a copy of install iLife 05 which he has in duplicate and can therefore spare one . He never spoke to me about such software not being able to be installed.
Regards.

  • I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    If it was previously working then try a smc and pram reset.
    If that doesn't fix it then see if vlc can handle the video.

  • I cannot open iMovie - it says I need a "Graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme" I know this is wrong- Have iMovie version 9.0.4, regularly use it and have not had this problem before

    Details: On my MacBook Pro, I have MacOS X 10.6.8, a 2.26 GHz IntelCore Duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DOR 3 Memory.
    I have iMovie Version 9.0.4, which I apparently updated inJuly.  I regularly used iMovie, and last used it about 3 weeks ago.  However, Today, when I try to get into iMovie, I get thefollowing message:
    “Quartz extreme Required  iMovie requires agraphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme.  One or more of your graphics cards does ntosupport Quartz Extreme.”
    So, I cannot get into my iMovie.  I know the “Quartz Extreme” message ismistaken.  WHAT DO I DO?

    I would recommend that you turn off and restart your Mac. That should clear it up.

  • Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

    i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
    Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
    These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
    ..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

  • My 15" Macbook Pro running Yosemite keeps updating iMovie and iPhoto to one compatible with Yosemite the it updates again to the previous version that is not. Then it repeats itself.

    My Macbook Pro keeps updating iPhoto and iMovie between the version compatible with Yosemite and the previous versions. It does it at least daily. Why doesn't the App store understand when those two programs have been updated?

  • External Drive not compatible with iMovie

    I just purchased a WD My Book 500gb drive to store home videos I'm editing in iMovie. The drive shows up in the event library with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the center. If I try to drag events to the drive I get the following message "volume is not compatible with iMovie." I have searched the discussion board, but have only succeeded in totally confusing myself. I'm sure this is probably a simple matter, but I can't seem to untangle it... Please help.

  • Is the latest iMove still compatible with iDVD?

    I still enjoy using iDVD v7.1.2 from iLife '11. Is it compatible with the latest iMovie program? I am afraid to to install the latest version of iMovie because I fear iDVD may longer be supported.

    You can still use it but cannot share directly to iDVD.  You have to first share to file using 480p resolution then use this in iDVD.

  • Is iMovie '06 compatible with 10.6.8 ?

    Is iMovie '06 compatible with OS X 10.6.8?
    If so, is there any trick or problem to installing it on the same machine w/ iMovie '08?
    Thanks,
    Wm

    Yes!!
    iMovie 06 works great with 10.6.8   I use both iMovie 06 and iMovie 11 (iMovie 06 about 80%, iMovie 11 about 20%).
    Delete iLife 8. Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife install disks.
    Now re-install iLife 8. 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.dmg (Formerly available from Apple)
    This is said to work with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • Is iMovie 6 compatible with 10.4.11?

    I have imovie 08 and want to downgrade to imovie 6 in order to use the plug ins and other features that 8 does not have for some reason. is it (imovie 6) compatible with 10.4.11? The lowest i can downgrade my Tiger to is 10.4.10, that is the version that came with my computer and what is on my reinstall disk.

    Hello, 
    Yes you can use iMovie 06 in 10.4.11:

  • IMovie plug ins not compatible with Intel Macs

    I need a page turn transition for an iMovie 6 project I'm working on. I downloaded one from cfx, but apparently a lot of the plug ins are not compatible with Intel Macs. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

    Any GeeThree plug-in that uses flash will no longer work, which include all the WildFX plug-ins. Apple did away with flash support in Quicktime 7.3.1 or newer! Now iMovie is basically unusable without the very cool & professional GeeThree plug-ins. If Apple keeps this up iMovie will probably go the way of the dinosaur. I've talked to Apple about this and they responded "why don't you buy Finalcut Pro". It's what Apple does best, Farm the base.....

  • Is iMovie '06 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I've read too many posts indicating difficulties with an upgrade to Snow Leopard but probably just as many from people who have had success. I'm always slow to update operating systems however it seems like more and more applications require Leopard (or SL) to run. I'm still on Tiger, love it, but am forced to upgrade in order to run current apps. My biggest concern is for iMovie 6.03 which I will never give up for the lame versions of imovie that succeeded it. So my question is, is iMovie 6.03HD compatible with Snow Leopard or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?

    I see you have not yet marked your topic "Answered", so perhaps you are hoping for other input.

    It works fine on both my Snow Leopard (SL) Macs.

    As concerned as you are, and as important as iMovie6 seems to be to you, unless you must use some of the new apps or OS features that require upgrading, you might be better served by continuing to use your existing and proven reliable Tiger OS.
    Your next Mac will come with the OS that maximizes its performance. Until then, you save at least $169(US), and keeping the Tiger OS that you KNOW works eliminates all of you worries.

    I still use iMove HD from iLife 06. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and it runs great for me. I use iPhoto, iDVD, & iMovie all from the iLife 06 Suite.
    I do so because it just works. I constantly use the Timeline format, and within that form I easily trim, add sound effect, adjust volume, and other sound and audio modifications.
    I will keep using it for as long as it's compatible.
    I may get the next upcoming iLife suite because I want to better organize photos in iPhoto.
