IMovie using iLife 6 vs iLife 9

Hello
Background: In July of 2005, I purchased my PowerPC G5 20" iMac, 2.0GHz, +260 GB harddrive and 2 GB of DDR SDRAM.
I have been running OS 10.4.11, however I recently purchased a new version of Leopard OS 10.5.6. Before I use this to upgrade I would like to back up my personal and system files.
So far I have backed up:
- Documents, Movies, Music (iTunes folder)and Pictures folders.
- I have backed up my Safari Favourites: (file > export)
Is there anything else I can backup, because I am looking forward to having Leopard 10.5.6 do this once I have upgraded.
Question?:
I have iLife 6 presently install, which has been great my iMovies, however can I still use it when upgrading to OS 10.5.6?
I do have a copy of iLife 09, and look forward to your recommendations on whether I should upgrade when I go to OS 10.5.6?
Many thanks to your advice!

I have iMovie 06, iMovie 09, and iMovie 11.
I probably do about 70% of my work with iMovie 06. I would strongly recommend that you do not delete iMovie 06. People who do not have iMovie 06 often go to great efforts to obtain it (it sells for over $100).
I would make multiple backups of iMovie 06 and then go ahead and install iLife 09. All versions of iLife that came after iLife 06 are specifically written NOT to delete iMovie 06. But keep your backups just in case.

DVDs burned using iLife 06 are not recognized

Hope someone has some advice for me. I have iLife 06 and have created a movie in iMovie. I sent it to iDVD to create the project and burn the DVD. So far, so good. But when the buring is complete, the DVD will not mount. It keeps getting ejected from the drive. All of my previous DVDs using iLife 05 work fine. I can't even make a copy of the DVD as it just won't mount. Help!

which program do I create the disk image?
With iDVD:
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

IMovie from iLife 08' doesn't work w/SL

I can not use iLife '08 with Snow Leopard 10.06.2. When I first tried after installing Snow Leopard I got the error code saying that I could not run the iMovie with OSX because I have version 7.0 of iMovie. I have re-installed the iLife disc and still the same. What can I do next?

Run software update and upgrade to 7.1.4

Attempting to reinstall iMovie HD/iLife 05

My machine came with iLife 04 installed and an iLife 05 disk was included. I used iLife 05 until we bought my wife an iBook, which came with iLife 06 installed. I thought I might as well use the install disk on my iMac to get iLife 06 installed on it. It hasn't worked as well as 05 did and some features aren't available on 10.3.9. So, intending to reinstall iLife 05 from the disk, I dragged iMovie 06 to the trash can (along with iDVD 06). After iMovie didn't reinstall, I went into Customize and saw that iMovie HD was unchecked, grayed out, and it showed "disabled" to the right. I fear I made a big mistake in deleting iMovie 06 (and emptying the trash). Can you help?

Hello Graig,
try the following:
open a Finder window and type "iMovie" in the search tab. your mac should find a couple of leftovers, e.g. com.apple.iMovie.plist and iMovie.pkg - these are preferences and receipts. there will probably be other stuff from application support.
try trashing them as well, repair permissions with Disc Utility and reboot, then see if you can reinstall iMovie 5 (the same should work for iDVD).
hope this helps

IMovie in iLife 06

Does anyone know positively if I can use iMovie from iLife 06 on a G4 Power PC?

iMovie 6 will run on all Macs with a G4 CPU and have a graphics card which supports Quartz Extreme. Certain features require that the computer's clock speed be 1GHz or above.

HT1338 Can I use iLife '09 on Mountain Lion 10.8.3?

I currently have Mac version 10.4.11 but it's not new enough to use iLife '09, if I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion 10.8.3, will the iLife '09 be compatible with the Mountain Lion 10.8.3?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iLife '09 is compatible with Mac OS X Leopard or later, so you can install iLife '09 if you upgrade to Mountain Lion. However, note that not all computers with Tiger are compatible with OS X Mountain Lion. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, upgrade to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Make a backup before upgrading. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8.
Note that Snow Leopard is compatible with iLife '11, so if you want, you can install a newer version. You can get iLife '11 for Mac OS X Snow Leopard at Amazon or eBay

Will I still be able to use ilife, iwork or any of my applications after the upgrade to Maverick? I currently have version 10.6.8. Thanks!

The ONLY stuff that should give you trouble is anything that requires Roestta to run. iLife apps can be upgraded for free, and iWork 09 should still run. Office 2011 and Adobe Creative Suite CS5 and CS6 run like before on my Mini.

Underwater Photos: Anyone use Ilife for adding back red colors?

I use Ilife for my organizing my underwater photos. Often they are not truly representative because of the loss of red. Some programs have filters that are designed specifically for underwater corrections. Does anyone know of one that will work with Ilife.
Thanks so much.

Photoshop or Photoshop Elements has tools for color corrections. You can set the white point and have all color in the photo adjusted based on that white point. Or shift the colors yourself by adding red, reducing blue, etc. until you get the look you want. I just don't know of an automatic Underwater correction.
Regards.

When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

How to connect Sony HDR Cx100E on imovie using USB

Hi, I am not able to connect my SONY HDR Cx100E on imovie using USB, at the same time I can connect the same to aperture and iphoto. Can any one help me please?
if you can give me the step by step info will be a great help for me.
thanks in advance

Can't connect the camera directly to that monitor. It only has the ADC connection. What you'd have to do is capture the footage and use the Digital Cinema Desktop to view the footage.
Can't you monitor what you have on the cameras LCD, or the Capture window?

Move the video between iPads using Dropbox or an App like Photo Transfer.

Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

IMovie using 200-300% CPU when editing video. Why?

Hello everyone,
As the title says, I am experiencing iMovie using 200-300% of my Macbook Air's CPU. This occurs when I am editing the video, taking parts out and making sure everything look and sounds good.
Does anyone know of a way to stop iMovie from using this much CPU?
Any help will be appreciated,
Thank you.

Can you use ilife music on imovie videos to post on Facebook?

I thought that it was safe to use the music/sounds that came with IMovie on videos and post them without copyright issues. But when I tried to post one to Facebook they told me it was a copyright infringement, and are requiring me to dispute it. Before I do that I want to make sure I have not made an error.
Can someone answer this question?
Thank you.

You have the right to use the music. Unfortunately, even record companies can use these sounds as well, and then they try to slap a copyright on it. But you are totally within your rights.
Specifically, this is permitted in the Apple End User License Agreement for iLife, section 2.G.iii. which you can see here. http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iLife11.pdf
When you dispute it, do not claim to have original music, or that you own the copyright. Just state that you are licensed by Apple Computer Inc to use the music according to this document. It may help to name the jingle or sound that you are using.
