Imovie and a new HDD

I have just added a new HDD to give my macbook more capacity. The istore did the installation for me. All looks fine until i tried to open imovie '08. It wont open because it comes up with a notification "imovie requires quicktime 7.6.0 or later".
I try to update my quicktime but it comes up with a notification "This software requires Mac OS X 10.6.3 or newer."
I currently have 10.5.8.
Before i put the new HDD in i was using imovie with no issue at all.
What has happened?
Please help me? I have a deadline of Monday to finish an imovie project.
Why is it never easy?!!
Thank you

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

Installing and formatting new HDD

The HDD on my two year old MacBook Pro has gone bad, probably defective from the beginning. Anyway, I live in another country, but had someone bring me a new HDD (upgrading from 750GB to 1TB). I have already unistalled the old HDD and installed the new HDD. Now I am trying to clone the old HDD. I have had some problems using Disk Utility. Not sure if I should have cloned the old HDD before unistalling it??
Also, I have read several discussions involving Carbon Copy Cloner. I don't really understand how it works/how I would use it in my current situation. Should I purchase the software? Will I have to back the computer up to another external HDD using carbon copy cleaner, and only then be able to clone it to the new drive?

rogers2nica,
if your old HDD has gone bad, then cloning it would also clone its faulty areas. The time to clone (and make other forms of backup) is when the source drive is working well. If you’re trying to salvage data from your bad HDD, then to minimize problems with your new HDD, you should install the OS and apps on the new HDD from scratch, and only salvage your personal data files from the old HDD.

Problem with New HDD and installation of Qosmio Player

Hi All,
Hope someone can help, I have had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard disk. I decided to replace the hard disk as this was the quickest solution. The problem I have now is that I cannot receive TV on media center. I was trying to install qosmio player on the HDD to see if it made any difference but when I run the recovery disk supplied the software tells me that there is not enough disk space!!. The laptop came with a 60G hard disk and the new HDD made by the same manufacturer is a 150GB, can anyone help me out with this one would be appreciated.
Thanks
ED.

Qosimo F10.
Sorry my previous entry was garbled. I upgraded the HDD to 120, could not get the Qosimo player to reload, same error, No space on HDD.
I then upgraded to Vista and downloaded the new Vista Qosimo drivers, created the ISO image and booted from it. Still did not work.

New HDD getting restart message after carbon copy cloner

Hey folks,
Been a while since I asked for help, but always glad you are here.
My 160GB HDD was getting close to its limit and slowing down quite a bit, so I figured I'd upgrade to a 500GB Seagate 7200rpm HDD.
Used CCC to do a complete clone. Did the Clone with 500GB drive in a FW enclosure. Took roughly 2 hours and then rebooted from the new clone while it was still in the enclosure. Everything worked fine.
Installed new clone drive in macbook(I have done this before when I went from the original 60GB to 160GB drive and have all the correct tools)
Try to startup with new drive installed and get the greyish mini screen with message to hold start button until it shuts down and press start button again. Tried 5 times with same results.
Should I go ahead and re-clone or use my grey disks to run hardware test?
MB1,1 2006, 2gigs ram 10.6.7
Thanks for any and all help.
Adam

Okay. Ran hardware test. No problems found. Checked HDD connectors on both the MacBook and the new HDD. Look fine.
Tried reseating the new HDD to no avail.
Reinstalled old 160 GB HDD and MacBook is running fine as we speak.
Going to try re-cloning. If that doesn't work will try reformatting and doing a fresh install and migration assistant.

Anymore ideas before I go to far would be appreciated.

Mac Pro won't clean install OSX on new HDD

I have a Mac Pro early 2008 and I was running windows and mac on 2 separate hard drives. I was using the 500gb WD hdd that came with the mac that had mac installed and I just upgraded to mavericks, and I was also using a new WD 1TB hdd for Windows (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0088PUEPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394048774&sr=8-1). I was using windows more because I was having trouble switching back and forth and sometimes the mac hdd wouldn't show up. I tried a few different things with the harddrive and I just came to the conclusion that the mac hdd was dead. It was the original hdd that came with the Mac Pro so it was pretty old I figured it just died, it wouldn't show up anywhere. Anyways, I bought. 2TB WD hdd (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008YAHW6I) to use for mac and now when I tried to install it with the retail mac snow leopard install disk from apple, it gets to the grey apple logo with the loading circle and just stays there forever. I've left it on for a while and it still stays there, which is the same thing that happened when I tired to reinstall it to the old mac harddrive that I think is dead. I've started up into boot option and the new hdd doesn't show up, idk if it's supposed to show up being that's it's a new hdd or what. So I'm not sure if the hard drive is incompatible or the installer disc is incompatible with this Mac Pro. Or the 2tb is too big, I've heard people run up to 3tb on one hard drive on mac pros and they still run good. So I'm not sure, if anybody could please help I'm sure it's probably something simple. Links to the harddrives I have are above. Thanks a lot !

No 2TB is not too big, though it is overly large for a boot drive.
A 128 or 250GB SSD is just about perfect for system boot drive - for either system.
Cloning for backup is the best type of insurance against issues. Two probably, one you can have a copy of the working sytem, one older safe copy. And use those to repair.
you might have been able to clone it. You might be able to mount it and use Data Rescue 3.
A "recovery drive" and two backup drives: TimeMachine and clone.
System drive and "data" drive for all the media and data and other non system files, all YOUR user folders and files.
Did you change out the video card? that could be one reason why. Apple's ATI 5770 requires 10.6.5+ - beyond the build of the retail Snow Leopard.
You could try buying Mountain Lion too.
With good backup clones then rare to ever need to redo and install the system. But it is good to start fresh when you have a new OS, and to format any drive at that time, and probably on a yearly basis - and not just keep using same drive for system, or for data.
I would think that without proper maintenance and use of Disk Utility: Repair Disk, you just had simple directory corruption issues.

New HDD not seen in Bios

Satellite A65-1068 running Windows XP – original 60GB HDD crashed, tried to replace with same part (Toshiba MK6025GAS) but Bios will not recognize it. Found that after trying to run Toshiba recovery CD and got error 510000004 – assume that’s no HDD since when Bios setup is accessed there is no hardrive listed. Tried the old HDD and – when it spins – Bios still sees it. Tried loading an old XP upgrade disk on this machine and the new HDD, the files are there in a Windows directory but obviously it still won’t boot. Anyone have an idea how to get Bios to see the new HDD. Should I be doing something differently?

Do not giveitup. ;-)
>>>Anyone have an idea how to get Bios to see the new HDD. Should I be doing something differently?
Normally you need do nothing. I would guess that the HD is not properly connected, have a look at the header on it and in the machine. The new SATA had drive connectors are finiky and easily broken. Specially the small DATA connector. If all is proper, try the HD into another machine. If this is a new HD it ought to be proper but things happen. As your old HD is seen by your BIOS, I presume that the machine is good. JP.

HDD on IdeaCentre A730 is bad. Can't clone it and I can't figure out how to restore to a new HDD

There is something wrong with the HDD, I'm assuming bad sectors. Every once in a while files won't read. I can still boot from the HDD, and all the files that are important seem to be fine. I bought a new HDD of the exact same specs to replace it, as I don't want to continue using it with the uncertainty that some file I save won't be there later.
I thought I could clone the drive, and I've tried a few different software packages, but they all fail when they can't read a certain section of the HDD. Making a recovery USB didn't work, as it seems to expect the original HDD in the machine (it needs a certain partition that's not there on the new HDD).
I'm willing to do a clean install but I don't see a way to do it? There aren't any windows 8 cd's, the recovery USB doesn't seem to work unless the original HDD is still there.
Any help would be great!!

Hi baj, welcome to the forums,
sorry to read about your situation, you're probably right about the drive failing. Hopefully you've backed up all your important files already; if you haven't I'd treat that as Nr. 1 priority. When cloning I have always reverse cloned; new drive mounted in the system with the original attached through USB or whatever. My preferred cloning software is Acronis.
Something that has worked for me when cloning a "suspect" drive with probable defective sectors is when cloning to select a sector for sector copy, (takes longer), but also select to ignore errors during the process. Results have been mixed and running checkdisk on the new drive has helped on occasions.
Another "trick" which can sometimes influence / improve the process is to cool the original drive using coolbag ice pacs laid on top of the original drive in a plastc bag, so the drive doesn't get wet from the condensation, during the process.
If the clone completes and the drive is only half way useable your USB recovery drive may work, (can't be sure on this; never been in the situation so if you get that far let me know please)
Also there is the option to call support and request a set of recovery discs, which they may charge for, but you would definitely be able to install the new drive with them.

I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can I get idvd?

I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can i get idvd. it doesn't seem available

Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

Recently bought a new HDD, and encrypted it, and it no longer works on any machine, help?

Recently bought a new HDD, and encryped it and it no longer works...
Does anyone have any idea how or why?
I can't seem to press anything except repair and verify...

I followed what it said on another one of these discussion forums, by going onto the disk and changing it to encrypted, created a password then pressed erase, and it no longer will open at all, even on normal windows

HT204406 My HDD crashed which held all of my music. Can I recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to a new HDD?

My HDD crashed and it contained all of the music from which iTunes and iMatch pulled files from. Is there a way to recover the music from iTunes Match and download it back to my new HDD?

My computer HDD did not crash only my external drive with the music files. I have not had to reinstall iTunes software. The iTunes libarary is still complete and shows the complete list of music. I have also ran Update iTunes Match and all of the music is on the cloud.
I cannot play the music from iTunes that is on the cloud, however the music I purchased from iTunes did download and it will plan from my computer.
The matched or uploaded music is what will not download and I can't find a command that allows me to download from Match.
Sorry if I'm not being very clear, however I do really appreciate your help and suggestions.

My new HDD for Macbook pro 13" unibody is not recognized and I am using a new SATA cable

Hey everyone,
I have a particular problem that I cannot seem to find an answer to. My new 500gb internal drive for my Macbook Pro 13" unibody is not recognized. The old HDD broke on me so I bought a new one but my macbook pro would not recognize it. To troubleshoot that issue I purchased the SATA cable and replaced the old with the new. The new HDD still will not show up in disk utility.
Please let me know what you think I may have missed or should do.
Thank you

jc1388,
Bring it to an Apple store Genius bar (make an appointment, so you don,t have to wait around forever) they will diagnose it for free and tell you your options/pricing. They have more extensive testing tools, maybe your logic board is failing/failed.
best of luck

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

My hdd is gone and now I have a new one without my old key - how can I get my stored data on my new hdd?

all data on my old hdd is lost after an crash. so i changed it with a new hdd. but the old sync key is not longer available. I generated a new key so i lost all my old date stored with sync... is there any way to restore the old data from my old hdd sync key...?

Sorry, no. The SyncKey is used for encryption / decryption during the Sync process, without the Sync Key that was used to encrypt your personal data as it was uploaded to the Sync storage server your data is worthless. Plus, when you generate a new Sync Key for an existing account, all the data that is saved on the server for that account is deleted for your security.
Do you still have the old HDD? It may work long enough for you to extract your Firefox data, if you put that drive in a USB drive enclosure and access it as an external drive. <br />
