Imovie files suggesting "saved with an older version" ???
I hope someone can help.
I have been converting old analogue tapes to DV-PAL with aid of a canopus ADVC110 analogue to digital convertor. I am saving the files to an external hard drive (lacie mini hub 250GB). They appeared to save successfully but I have discovered later, upon re-opening the files, the following message "project was saved with an old version of imovie....." If I save the file the image becomes pixelated. I have about 10 projects, some are o.k one day and others projects are reporting the problem?
Unsure what is happening here and how to resolve.
external lacie drive is Mac OS extended (journaled)
imovie HD 6.0.3
mac mini 1.42 1 gig ram Mac OS X (10.4.9) lacie mini hub and hard drive
I probably haven't explained myself to well.
I am running imovie HD 6.0.3, the lastest version.
I have been saving my projects (converting analogue-PAL to DV-PAL via a canopus ADC) in imovie HD 6.0.3, however upon opening the files later during the week I get the following message.
"The project “hi8 tape 1” was saved with an older version of iMovie HD. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I'm unsure how this is happening when I'm running the lastest copy of imovie HD 6.0.3
When I do attempt to save I receive the following message.
"Files that iMovie can understand are in iMovie’s Trash. Any other files have been moved into the Finder’s Trash. Would you like to view iMovie’s Trash contents now?"
If I do go ahead and save it doesn't help, the video capture becomes totally pixelated after I move the files from imovie trash back to clip viewer or the imovie trash is empty? Sometimes it works by moving the files from imovie trash to the clip viewer but the following day if I open the projects I get the same old ver. problem
I am writing and saving the project to an external hard drive. Are their problems in doing that? The external hardrive is mac OSX extended (journaled)
I did upgrade from imovie 5 about 8 months ago.

IMovie HD saved project in older version of iMovie. Now can't open/find it
Working on an iMovie HD slideshow. Saved it although had a warning that older versions could not open it. Since I only have iMovie HD, I assumed no problem. Now I cannot open the file. Received WARNING
' The project “___” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. ' Seems like my project was moved to iMovie Trash.
Questions:
(1) Can I retreive my project? If yes, how?
(2) What happened to my IMovie HD and how do I get it back?
Appreciate your help.Sorry I misunderstood about there being a conversion, Steve.
Let's back up a bit. There are some things here that sound very strange, including that the project contains no project file with a tilde in its name.
Were you ever able to save the project successfully? If so, iMovie should have created a tilde file as a backup to your project file "aaa.iMovieProj". If the tilde file doesn't exist, that suggests there's some underlying problem that's causing a failure to save the project to disk.
Let's set aside that project for a moment. Use iMovie to create a new project on the same disk. In the Finder, choose Show Package Contents. (There will be no tilde file in the package for the project hasn't yet been saved.)
Drag the file "aaa.iMovieProj" onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The first few lines should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
Is that what yours looks like?
Close the TextEdit window containing the project file. Back in iMovie, save the project. Now a tilde file should appear inside the package.
Did iMovie save okay? Did the tilde file appear?
Try adding images to this project, then save. Did it save okay?
Quit iMovie. Re-launch iMovie. Did the project open successfully?
The only possible cause that occurs to me is that the disk the project resides on isn't formatted correctly. iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended disk format. If you are storing the project on an external disk make sure the disk has the proper format. More about that here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
You might also try discarding the iMovie preference file "com.apple.iMovie.plist", located in the Username/Library/Preferences folder. Be sure to quit iMovie before trashing it.

How can I edit an iMovie 10.0.3 project on a different computer with an older version?
I am trying to caption a video using the Titles feature. However, 10.0.3 has a bug that won't allow font changes in titles, which is making the captions inconsistent in terms of size and font, which looks terrible. How can I fix this? Is there any way to share the project with a different computer with an older version of iMovie, to make the edits there? So far, the video will transfer but the other project files (including the captions) won't open in the new version.
You can't use a project created in iMovie 10 with earlier iMovie versions. If you are only adding titles you could always re-import the video into a Mac running an earlier version of iMovie or share the iMovie 10 video to file and import into the earlier version.
Some titles in iMovie 10 do allow changing font and size though. Its a matter of trying out the various options. If you are running Yosemite its worth upgrading to version 10.0.6 which I think improved title adjustment options as well as a number of other things.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?
Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

Will iPhoto 6 work with an older version of iMovie and iDVD?
Some time ago, I upgraded from iLife 4 to iLife 6 and iPhoto 6 works great, but when I try to use iMovie 6 or iDVD 6 they will not work, either because the processor speed is too slow or the OSX (10.3.9) is too old. Is it possible to use iPhoto 6 (I like the editing features) with the older versions of iMovie and iDVD from iLife04.
Thanks, RickRequirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

It's always a good idea to check the requirements before purchasing.
The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to. -
Accident saving with an old version!
Hi! I by accident opened a document in my movies, saw this warning: "The project "test" was saved with an old version of iMovie HD. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadadble by older versiond. Ar you sure you want to open it?" And I must have it "OK" and now I can not read some movies that I need to see...can I fix this?
You should be able to open, and read and edit, the movie in the newer version of iMovie. The older version movie was just upgraded, not corrupted. At least, that's the way it worked from iM5 ugrading to iM6. I don't know about iM'08.
If you can't read the upgraded movie, try closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new file upon relaunch.
Update to the current version of Quicktime.
Afterwards run a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility application on your MAC hard drive.
Then try opening your upgraded movie. -
Cannot open "filename" because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0).
I updated my whole cloud last week. Now I can't open a InDesign document saved just the day before. I get the error message:
Cannot open “filename” because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0).
Cannot open “filename” because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0). You must use that version or later to open the file. To then enable it to be opened in this version, choose save as InDesign CS4 or later, or export to IDML.
This is a document that I created in InDesign CC just last week.Hi Robert,
To open an INDD file in the older version (CS4-CC), you need to save it as an IDML. For CS3 & older versions, save it as an INX.
Thanks -
My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.
I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again. -
I have been organizing my photos in iPhoto and have written descriptions for them. In the past, with an older version of iPhoto, I would burn a CD. When I would put the CD back in my computer, the description would also be on the CD. Now, I am burning the CD's and there is no record of the description. This is very important as I want the information stored with the photos, both for my own reference, but also if something would happen to me my family would know who are in the photos and what the occasions were. Is there some way I can do this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Ok, sorry! I created an album with the photos I wanted to burn. I gave them new titles, sometimes using batch change when appropriate, otherwise individually. I then clicked on info and in the area labeled description I gave each photo a brief description. When I was done, I went to Share and clicked on burn. When prompted I inserted a blank CD-R in my external CD/DVD burner (which I need to use as my internal one has been replaced twice in less than a year and I was sick of spending $150.00 each time). When it was loaded I clicked the burn button at the bottom of iPhoto. When it was completed I reinserted it into the external CD/DVD burner/reader to see if it was successful. The photos all came up with the new title in my iPhoto library. When I click on info button, there is no description. The information about the date and place where the photo was taken is there, just not the description that I personally included.
I have not tried exporting the photos to finder and then burning as they suggest doing if you want the CD to be readable on Windows program, but I never had to do that with my old iPhoto program, so did not know if that would make a difference.
I can't think of any other information you might need, but if I missed something let me know and I will try to include it. Thanks for your interest in helping! -
Today I was prompted to update iTunes, which I don't use that often. I found it was the newest version. Now, however, when I try to add a CD to my Library, I cannot find it. When I click import CD, it does not give me an option on where to save it to. I didn't have any trouble with the older version of iTunes, but now I am completely confused. I have read the file on Learn about iTunes, and it only tells me how to do it on the older version. Can someone please tell me how to do this now? I'd really appreciate it!
Oh, my OS is Windows Vista.iMac optical drive problems are often attributable to heat. The newer Intel iMacs aren't as bad as the 1st Gen G5s were (I know... I had one), but Apple optical drives tend to "flake out" when they get hot, and in iMacs, they get hot quickly. Near the end of my iMac's life, I was ONLY able to use the optical drive within the first five minutes after booting up. After that, it wouldn read, write or even accept a disc.
If yours works right after a long sleep or shut down, but then goes to failing, it's probably heat. -
Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

Sync fail - files accessed via app always older versions
Hi, I have a 2TB My Cloud device and various Android devices running the My Cloud App. I have the app set to auto-sync every 120mins however when accessed via the app my files are always older versions, often by a couple of months. The time stamp suggests sync has occured but when I open the file it is clearly an older version. No other error messages or obvious issues. Any ideas? ThanksStuart
Welcome to the WD Community,
If you access the drive directly from a pc, are you able to see the recent versions of the files?
Have you tried reinstalling the app? -
Saved with a newer version of Adobe indesign (CS8.0)
latest version of creative cloud will not open indesign files i get "saved with a newer version of Adobe indesign (CS8.0)"
You've got the wrong version of InDesign to open the file, it's that simple.
InDesign Cs6 is available on Creative Cloud, and if that's up to date it won't open InDesign CC or InDesign CC 2014 files.
You'll need to download InDesign CC2014 from the Creative Cloud. -
It seems that many (if not all) of my files have been replaced by older versions. I can find the multiple version including the most recent version using the Search, however, they show up in the same directory even though Finder only shows a single copy. I am able to save and then overwrite in order to restore but this is strange. There is no chance that another user here has done any sort of system restore action (at least intentionally).
I can find the multiple version including the most recent version using the Search, however, they show up in the same directory even though Finder only shows a single copy.
In a OS Extended (HFS) file system there is no way you can have two files with identical names in the same directory.
Of course who knows what spotlight is thinking of most of the time when it does its stupid searches (get Find any File instead) and lists its results? Are you sure it is listing the same directory or do you have a backup and it is finding it there and you aren't noticing it is two different volumes?
You could also try reindixing the volume. Add it to the Spotlight system preferences Privacy and then remove it. -
I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago. Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version. The app store shows the download. HUH?!?
I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.
