Imovie - software for old Notebook running OSX 10.6

Hi,
I have an old notebook with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with the following video card:
Intel GMA 950:
Chipset Model:    GMA 950
Type:    GPU
Bus:    Built-In
VRAM (Total):    64 MB of Shared System Memory
Vendor:    Intel (0x8086)
Device ID:    0x27a2
Revision ID:    0x0003
When I updated to OSX 10.6 i lost imovie. I went to download it from the apple store but it said the video card could not support it.
What can I do to get either an old version of imovie that will work on my machine, or can anyone recommend an alternative program that's as good?
Thanks

Hi
Did it come with Your Mac (Start DVDs) ? It should be there.
I would try to find this Start DVD and re-install it - then go to up-date.
What version did You have ?
I use on my MBP (Mac OS X.6.8)
- iMovie HD6 (best iMovie ever for StreamingDV - miniDV tapes)
- iMovie'11 (version 9.0.4)
(FinalCut Pro 6, Adobe Premiere Elements 11)
There are no free LEGAL downloads anywhere !
Yours Bengt W

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
(I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
used to use AIM for this in windows
The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
iChat works well.
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
flicker, but I could see it.
No idea.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
after 30 mins
You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
against them, but I am expecting this computer to
last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
as fast as Windows pc's.
It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
Thank you for any help,

I have a new 64g 4g iPad. I want to get music off my old MacBook running osx 10.4.11, what is cheapest way to do it (I have iTunes acc set up on both), is the only way to buy a new version?

If music etc was purchased from itunes store then go to the itunes app on ipad and check purchased to see what you can redownload for free.
Assume you can't sync the iPad as you are on Tiger with old iTunes version.

Inadvertantly deleted Firefox for an iMac running OSX 10.5.8. Can I get an older version?

Recieved an email to upgrade Firefox to latest version. This I did and then when it went into the Applications folder on my iMac running OSX 10.5.8 (which can't be updated) it "replaced" the older version. Now I haven't got any Firefox at all. Can I download an older version?

Another solution (especially if this is a PowerPC iMac) is TenFour Fox.

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to create a link. While this isn't an officially supported Mozilla product it seems to be very stable & keeps up with the updates to the official Firefox fairly well as they come out.

Installing ipod software onto mac G4 running Osx

I have a imac G4 running osx 10.0. I am able to connect my Fifth gen ipod to charge but it will not allow me to install the software that it came with. When I click on the install icon nothing happens. Can I still transfer music etc. onto the ipod with out installing the software?

Are you really running a 10.0.x version of OSX?
That's basically a beta version of OSX, and it is very unstable, buggy, and out of date.
I'm pretty sure there's no way your iPod is going to work on your system with 10.0
You should strongly consider purchasing and upgrading your operating system to a newer version.
The new iPod requires at least 10.3.9.

My laptop died. I've dusted off my old iMac running OSX 10.2.8 and want to upgrade firefox to 3.5 or 3.6. Looks like I can't do that - where would I find older versions of firefox to update to?

My now dead laptop was running Firefox 3.6. It died. Now I have my old iMac out of storage. It has Firefox 2.0.0.1 on it. I'm using it now. Check for updates says I can go as high as 2.0.0.20. I'd like to upgrade the iMac to the most current operating system it can work with (right now it's at OSX 10.2.8), and then get Firefox up to the most current version this can run. I tried searching for older firefox versions to download, but can't seem to find them on your website. (I used search term "download Firefox 3.5"). I did this to check and see what OSX version they can work with. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks!

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions. <br />Get it here: <br />
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
System requirements for Firefox 3.5: <br />
Mac OS X 10.4 and later, Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor, 128 MB RAM (Recommended: 256 MB RAM or greater), 200 MB hard drive space <br />

Available software for old iBook & G4tower?

I inherited a 14 inch iBook from my mother running 10.4.11 & I also have an old G4 tower running 10.4.11 & OS 9. Is there any newer OS system I can install that would be compatible with either of these, and where would I get such a thing? What are the security risks accessing the internet using an older browser that I cannot update anymore? Does it hurt to browse sites as long as I avoid doing anything financial? Is there any point in try to update these older computers and still trying to use them. I have had no problem networking them with my newer iMac running Maverick. My husband would like to use the older computers to browse the internet for information on mountain climbing.

Mac OS X 10.5.8 is the newest system that will run on G4s as long as they are a minimum of 867 Mhz (dual processor 800 Mhz doesn't count, and 1 Ghz and higher are more than 867 Mhz).
The disadvantage is that unless the tower is the right model, you'll lose access to Mac OS 9:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1757 (tells you which towers can boot into 9 & 10.5).
The iBook G4 can only use Classic, which is gone in Mac OS X 10.5 and later.
Cloning the system to a Firewire external hard drive is possible to maintain the older operating system as it was before, with older versions of Carbon Copy Cloner or Superduper, and should be done prior to any upgrade or software install anyway. Except for the original PCI PowerMac G4 (which is too slow for 10.5 anyway), you can boot off Firewire hard drives Mac OS X. A second internal hard disk on the tower for 10.4 is another possibility. But Parallel ATA hard drives are getting scarcer for that option. And may need a jumper to handle the slower bus speed. Disk Utility can be used to format the drive Apple Partition map so the operating system can be installed. GUID is not understood by most PowerPC 10.4 systems.
http://www.apple.com/usergroups/ is a good source for finding people with older software. Otherwise it really is hit and miss with search engines such as C!Net & Macupdate. Do not download MacKeeper or any system cache cleaning software, whatever you do.

Recovery for old notebook computer

I found my old HP computer in a box the other day and would like to get it up and running again. I got a virus on it and instead of fixing it, I just bought a new computer. How do I go about getting a recovery CD for my computer? It is a HP Pavilion dv6700.

I am sorry the "repair" did not go as planned... and congratulations on the new computer. Smiling. Back to the dv6700... Thanks to for the RestoreDisks site -- I checked and there are several dv6700 Recovery disk sets available -- or at least listed at the site. An alternative resource that shows a limited number of dv67xx systems for the original Vista OS:ComputerSurgeons - Search dv6700 There is an 800 number you can call with any questions. Cost (US) has been about $27 thus far -- things change of course, do check... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you know your exact model, you can check for extra drivers, your User Guide, and any other bits that sound good to have.

Video Editing Software for Power PC G5 OSX 10.5.8

Hello,
I hope I am in the correct computer category. I have a PowerPC G5 OSX 10.5.8. I have a lot of video editing that I would like to do, but don't have a program. I can't afford to buy a new computer, but would like to know if anyone has suggestions on what versions of Final Cut, or any other editing program would work on my computer.
Thanks.

Budgetary restraints would push me to suggesting looking on eBay etc for Final Cut Express 3.5. It's the previous version of this software, and some say better than the current version.
If you do need more than FCE, you could also look for Final Cut Pro 5.0/5.1, which would likely do anything you'd need, for much less than the shelf price of the latest Final Cut Studio at an Apple dealer.

Change windows software for MAC or run with windows

Hi
I have a new macbook pro and unopened versions of Photoshop elements 8 and Serif pageplus and Serif webplus. I am wondering if I should
1.buy windows 7 to run these applications (serif don't have a mac compatible version)
2. Return the elements for a mac version
3. Return all and swich to mac based software as I am about to start new business requiring website and publishing and that is what MAC is renonwed for. Am I missing a trick trying to use windows programmes for what MAC is specialised in? Would appreciate any help as fairly new to this

Websites: you probably will NEED to run Windows in a VM just to check out how it looks and that it works in Windows anyway.
And no one can really answer, though you are locked into Mac software that supports 10.6.
So run both. Run each off its own partition, and run Windows concurrently in a VM.

Workaround for scanner for HP 3055 running OSX Lion 10.7?

Do you have a workaround for the HP Laserjet 3055/3050 all-in-one scanning ability for Mac OSX Lion 10.7?
I am hitting the wall trying to find out how to enable the scanner to work?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You may try the following workaround, although i cannot guarantee it will work and may not be stable as expected:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan, select the 3050 printer ant then click the Minus sign to remove it.
Download the Mac OS 10.5 installation below by clicking the download button:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18...
Make sure to skip the Setup Assistant and follow the steps till the installation completes.
Perform the following steps in order to provide the Setup Assistant the right permissions to complete on Lion:
1. From the Utilities folder, open the Terminal
2. Type “sudo “ (with space) in the Terminal.
3. Locate the HP Setup Assistant in folder Applications/HP LaserJet Software
4. Right-click (Or CTRL + Letf click from the Apple keyoard) the HP Setup Assistant and choose “Show Package Contents”.
5. Open the “Contents” folder and then the “MacOS” folder. It should contain the Unix Executable File of HP Setup Assistant.
6. Drag the HP Setup Assistant (Unix Executable File) into the Terminal and press enter. Terminal will ask for the password of the user.
7. After writing the password press Enter Button.
Now follow the Setup Assistant Steps to complete.
Good luck,
Shlomi

Will apple ever update imovie software for the desktop

In the Fall of 2010, Apple released iMovie 11' and since the release of the iPad, they seem to only be creating updates for iMovie on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch!!! I want to know if Apple is going to update it on OSX.

The last update to iMovie '11 (to version 9.0.8 if I remember correctly) was in Sep 2012. iMovie is in the App Store.
Ninja'd, darn it!

X64 series officejet all- I one software for Linux OS/running Ubuntu

Everything works fine on my 4200 series all-in-one but the scan function. I am running under Linux using Ubuntu. I see only software updates applicable to Windows, so how can I get my machine to communicate with my Acer laptop so as to scan in photos, etc?

Hi,
What is the exat printer model?
IS it the HP Laserjet 4200 model?
If so, I afraid that scanning is not supported for your printer for Linux, but only print capabiltiies are available.
Please check Summary of Available Features in Various Linux Distributions below, scan is not supported for this model for any Linux OS:
