Installing 6.0.3 on a new iMac

so, after years of never having the time to learn Adobe Premiere, i've instead decided to switch from PC to Mac. my intent is to make a documentary from DV footage (non-HD) that will be somewhat professional looking, with audio music and narration inserted, titles/subtitles, etc.
my new iMac will presuambly have iMovie 09, but it sounds like for image quality and access to NLE, it might be worthwhile to download 6.0.3.
so, my questions are:
1. for the purposes of creating a semi-professional documentary (and also considering that since i never taught myself how to use Premiere, it's probably wisest to avoid FC/FCE), is iMovie 06 indeed my best bet (06 vs. 09)?
2. is downloading/installing 6.0.3 on my new machine that comes pre-installed with 09 going to be a problem? i've read that the install should happen in the opposite order.
3. can you, or would there be any point (e.g. taking advantage of particular features?) in, switching between 06 and 09 for the same project?

If you want to continue not learning a product equivalent to iMovie 6, the you should really be looking at Final Cut Express for the needs you describe.

I have an iMac 5.1 which is running OSx10.5.8 - it runs very slowly and I can't find if there is a particular problem. In the process, I have tried to install 10.6 [I have a new iMac] and the 5.1 won't accept the install discs.

As you have discovered... you cannot use the install discs from another Mac...

I installed CS3 from backup to a new iMac when my old iMac failed. How do I activate CS3 suite?
When I try starting Photoshop, for example, it tells me uninstall then reinstall the product OR contact product support.
However, when I phone product support, it says there is no product support for CS3 and to go to the Forums.
Thank you.

Trying to install iwork '09 from dvd on new imac with no dvd drive.....iwork is brand new (bought off ebay) in unopened box....I have at my disposal an older imac with dvd drive and a 16GB thumb drive...what is best way to load iwork on the new imac?

bought my mom a new imac this xmas...didn't realize it has no dvd drive....just picked up a new unopened version of iwork '09 for her to use off of ebay....need to get it loaded on the new dvddriveless imac......I have an imac at my house with a drive and a thumb drive i could bring over to her house if I could somehow burn an image of the iwork dvd on the thumb drive...is this possible? is there a better solution other than buying an external dvd drive?

First use Disk Utilty to make a disk image of the iWork disc on your iMac. Then there are two easy ways to install on your mothers new iMac. One is to copy to your USB thumb drive, visit your mother and install from the thumb drive. The other is to use a free upload and download service like www.wetransfer.com. Upload the .dmg disk image via www.wetransfer.com, then your mother downloads and installs. After installation you'll need to update iWork for Mountain Lion compatibility.

To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing??? So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively? Is "more" better??? or just over-kill? And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work? Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
Regards....?
P.S. I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz. When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead. Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule??? I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

I just bought a new iMac and only have the aperture cd, how do i install aperture 3 back to my new iMac

i just bought my new imac but i only have the aperture 3 cd and do not have a drive how do i install aperture 3 or where do i download from and then just insert the cd key.

You either burn a disk image of your CD (using Disk Utility) on a mac that still has a drive and transfer the disk image on a thumbs drive or network, or download the Aperture 3 Trial Installer.
Download it here Aperture 3.1 Trial
After running the Trial installer go immediately to Software update in the -menu, and only after updating to the most recent version launch Aperture and enter your registration code to unlock the Trial. Then launch it by double clicking your Aperture Library or clicking the Aperture icon.

How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive. I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install. I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase? I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.

There are links to trial installers on pages:
http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.

Unable to install FlashPlayer 10.3 on my new iMac

I am experiencing the same problems other people note about this new version. I have attempted numerous times to install it, uninstall it, re-install it. It says it is installing it and there is something there to remove, but it doesn't work and my favorite apps tell me I still need to install the latest version? Dangit, the earlier version worked brilliantly, but now it's lost and the game web-sites keep insisting they have to have this one.
The Adobe trouble shooting site was not helpful. I could not figure out how to use it and it did not appear to scan my computer looking for the installed program. Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.
My browser is the latest version of Safari on a brand new iMac. Thought my problems would be over when I converted to Apple, but guess that was naive.

Hi, You can try the manual method. I'm not sure if any of Flash Player was installed or not, but to be sure, I'd download and SAVE the Uninstaller per this site for the Mac.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then go to this site and download and SAVE the Installer either to your Desktop or the location for Mac.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browsers windows and reboot after Uninstalling and then Reboot after Installing.
I think also Mac users are supposed to repair permissions after Installing, by running Disk Utility.
Hope this helps,

Error when installing jam pack/audio content on new imac

Keep trying to install the audio/jam pack cd´s that came with my Logic Studio bundle on my new Imac/Leopard. When i´m almost done installing, it asks for the "logic" cd and then after a while i´m getting an error "installation failed"- disk corrupted" or something? I cannot as it works now find (almost) any of the audio files that i´m using (brass/horn sounds etc..). Anyone who´s had the same experience?
Thanks!

Also seeing this problem. I'm updating to latest logic and 10.5.3 right now to see if it mitigates it.

How Do I install Creative Suite 3 on my new Imac?

I purchased an un-opened box Creative Suite 3 Web Standard. to insatll on my new Imac and it won't install. What am I doing wrong? Adobe Tech support willnot help since its an older version.

The Creative Suite 3 I think was meant for Mac OS 10.4 at present we are on 10.8, which I think your new iMac must be having. As it is not tested on that Operative System (because it was not released then) I would not recommend your to install as you might face issue in the future as well.
Thanks.

Should I install my fcp 5.0 first before installing fcp 5.1 on a new imac

I just purchased a new imac. I have my old fcp 5.0 for my pre-intel g5. I know it doesnt work on the intel imac so I got the fcp 5.1. Do I need to install the 5.0 first and then the 5.1 or can I just install the 5.1?

That's kind of unusual, because the 5.1 upgrade I thought was a disc swap.
In any case, you don't need 5.0.

How to install my pre-installed version of ML from my new iMac, in my old macbook?

i bought an imac that came with ML pre-installed... and i have a macbook that i wish to update to ML... how can i do that without having to buy the downloadable version of ML from the apple store?..... since i already have it preinstalled in the new iMac.. i shouldn't have to buy it since i already did with my new iMac.... please help me solve this issue...

It always was this way. The disks that shipped with a Mac could not be used on another Mac because they were hardware specific. So, there's a more pragmatic reason you can't use it, it's got specific drivers for your iMac.
In a recent post, someone tried cloning the system to their old Mac and wound up in a world of grief.

Installing Final Cut Express on a new iMac

I have been using Final Cut Express HS 3.5 since 2006. My old iMac died, and in trying to reinstall the program on the new iMac, I am told that Power PC products are no longer supported.
Is there a workaround or solution? I really don't want to buy the program all over again.

Here is the skinny on FCE 3.5 in Mavericks on your new iMac:
1) FCE 3.5 is a Universal app that will run on Intel Macs; it is not PowerPC and does not require Rosetta. See:
http://roaringapps.com/
2) Similar to FCP 6, there is a "bug" in the installer app that generates the "PowerPC" dialog box and prevents its installation in Mavericks. Use one of these two methods to install FCE 3.5:
A) Pacifist - http://www.charlessoft.com/
B) Use the Terminal method described by Jeremy Johnstone on his blog:
