Installing iMovie HD from OS X 10.4.8 Install Disk to an OS X 10.5.8 Comput

My son really prefers the old iMovie HD to the iMovie (9?) that came with his computer.
I'm trying to install iMovie HD from my install disk which is version OS X 10.4.8 to his computer which is OS X 10.5.8
After I insert the install disk and choose "Install Bundled Software Only", it tells me that I cannot install this software on his computer.
Can I install an old iMovie from an old install disk to a newer computer? Please help! Thanks!

Hi
Don't know about iMovie HD (vers. 5) but iMovie HD6 from iLife 6 should work
and I like it so much more than iM 5.
There is a bit of huzzle when trying to do this.
• iLife'08 or 09 - HAS TO BE de-installed first
• then install iLife 6
• then re-install iLife'09
iMovie HD 6 and iDVD (vers. 7.0.4) called 08 or 09 - WORKS Greatly together.
Yours Bengt W

  • I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?

    I have a white Macbook 2009 on OSX Lion. It came with the OSX Snow Leopard CD, I erased the HDD and am trying to install the OSX from disc but am getting "cannot install OSX from disc" message. What can I do?
    I got the macbook from a friend a few years ago and it already had OSX Lion installed. Whenever it boots from the Snow Leopard disc it says it cannot install from disc. Is there anythingI can do or should I take it to an Apple store to get them to boot OSX Lion for me?

    Insert your Snow Leopard disc and restart, press and hold the C key as soon as you hearthe startup chime, hold C until you see the Apple Logo. When your computer starts up you'll be at the first install screen, choose your language and click the arrow to go to the next screen. This screen has a menu bar, from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility, select your hard drive, this is the one with the manufacturers name or numbers, click the partition tab and then delete any existing partitions by selecting them and clicking the minus. In the drop down box select one partition and click apply. Name your hard drive and click erase. When it's done quit DU and go back to the installer, install Snow Leopard. When the installer is done and the computer is back up and running run Software Update to get to 10.6.8

  • Can't Do a Fresh Install of Pshop From the CS2 CDs: Pshop App Install Option is 'Grayed Out'

    I  have CS2 Premium which I'm running on an older PowerPC Mac (G5  -  Dual 2.3 GHz ) running OS 10.4.11. I've had this setup for many many years (registered/activated with Adobe) but suddenly one day I could no longer launch my Photoshop app: when I clicked on the Pshop icon it would start the launch (open) procedure ...  and then almost instantly it would quit (in just a few seconds ... before the application even got to the 'title/credit' screen).
    I've recently tried uninstalling CS2 (everything except Acrobat) and I ended up doing a manual uninstall of Version Cue. I've been on Macs for 20+ years so figured this would be a pretty straightforward procedure - uninstall -> reinstall and then back to work.  Nope.
    I'm attempting a fresh installation direct from the original CS2 CDs. In any event, when I try to (re)install CS2 - and after going through the standard screens with Adobe's usage terms agreement and installation hard disk selection -  I arrive at the screen where one selects which application(s) to install by checking the various boxes (or alternately, to install the entire suite) but the 'Adobe Photoshop CS2/Adobe ImageReady CS2' line and checkbox are grayed out, so it will not allow me to check them and continue with the Photoshop installation process. Gah!!!
    I've been struggling with this for hours .... with no progress.
    Any ideas on what I need to do to enable Photoshop to be installed again?
    Thanks a bunch,

    PS to Administration: I've been a forum member for about 6-7(?) years, but the site isn't accepting my user ID/password. I filled out the form to have my user ID sent to my email address, but it never arrived. I don't know what's up, but I had to re-register - I used my old user ID - in order to make this post.

    I'm not sure if the crash is or isn't related to fonts.
    Deciphering the crash long is something I don't have any experience with.
    I'm not even sure how the crash log is structured. I've downloaded two screen captures: one from the top of the adobe Photoshop crash log and one from the bottom. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can discern what may be causing the crash?

    Screen capture from the bottom of the Adobe Photoshop crash log:
    Any ideas?

  • Problem installing iMovie 11 from App store

    Just updated my os and have just purchsed the new iMovie from the app store. It then said "installing" but when I came back it says install. When I click this the wheel turns for a second and then nothing seems to happen. When I load iMovie its still the same old version.
    Help?

    The app store is a part of the OS, or what is what you mean?

  • HT5246 I am having trouble Re-Installing OS X from either a backup or my orig. disks

    I started having this problem when i found a wheel group hiding as my Guest User account. I have not been able to access root,su,sudo or anything. It's hides itself in the form of "Network". I have removed all my partitions, did a 7 times secure erase, no matter what i do it seems to find it's way into a new install.. Any ideas? or if someone could tell me how to boot from terminal using  specific location please

    On Win7 open Control Panel > Network and Internet > Homegroup and if you are set to a Homegroup, select to leave it.
    Still in Control Panel > Network and Internet select Network and Sharing Center and check that you are using a Home or Work network profile. If it is set to Public, change it to Home. And then in the left sidebar, select "Change advanced sharing settings". For the Home or Work profile, ensure that network discovery and file and printer sharing is enabled.

  • Installing iLife '08 from Tiger discs on a fresh install of Snow Leopard

    I just had a brand new hard drive installed on my imac. I am currently installing Snow Leopard as I type this post. I purchased the $35 SL disc as I have iLife '08 on my Tiger (10.4) discs. Before I install iLife I would like to know if I have to put disc 1 before disc 2 or just disc 2? Will I be able to just do a software update check and install to bring iLife '08 up to date with the SL? I realize that it won't be iLife '09 but I am concerned about '08 being compatible with a fresh install of SL.

  • How do I install iMovie HD and iDVD on a new iMac?

    I have a new iMac, running 10.9.3.
    I want to install iMovie HD and iDVD on this iMac.
    I have the old install disks.
    How should I proceed?
    Thank you,
    Hal

    The improvements provided by iDVD 7 over version 6 are not confined to themes.
    Happily having two version of iMovie is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
    Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Then reinstall iMovie 11.
    iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.

  • Cannot install iMovie HD 6

    I've searched Discussions and could not find anyone with a similar problem that was resolved so I'm starting this post.
    I've tried downloading iMovie HD 6 (v 6.0.4) and I get the error message "iMovie HD cannot be installed on this system. Please install iLife '08 before installing iMovie HD 06."
    iLife '08 came pre-installed on my iMac. I've used iMovie 7 from iLife '08 and want to try iMovie HD 6, which a lot of people say has more functionality. Any ideas on how I can get the install to work?
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.5. Space is not an issue, I have approximately 400 gb free on my hard drive.

    I found the Receipts folder.
    Here is what I found related to iLife'08.
    iDVD_702.pkg
    iLifeMediaBrowser.pkg
    iMovie_711.pkg
    iMovie_712.pkg
    iMovie_714.pkg
    iPhoto_711.pkg
    iPhoto_712.pkg
    iPhoto_713.pkg
    iPhoto_714.pkg
    iWeb_203.pkg
    iWeb_204.pkg
    One other thing - I'm not sure it matters but would registration play a role? Since iLife was preinstalled I did not register each product - just the iMac when I got it. Since nothing else was working with this download I tried to register iLife'08 but it wants a Marketing Product Number which is on the box. Since mine was preinstalled there is no box. I also checked under the System Profiler but no such number was listed.

  • Can't install imovie

    I had it installed them when an update came up said I needed more space so opened up 1gb and uninstalled iMovie and now can't install at all - how large is the app??? I purchased it so would like to have it on

    If iMovie 08 is not installed, you cannot install iMovie HD6 from the free download.
    I don't think that this is correct. My iMac has the PowerPC chip, and therefore IMovie 08 could not be installed. Installation of the rest of the iLife 08 suite was completed without a problem. Once that was done, I learned (I forgot how) that I could get a free download of iMovie HD 6. The only difficulty that I encountered was what I described in my previous post, which was not finding the new program in the dock.

  • Re installing iMovie 04

    How can I keep iMovie 05 installed but also reinstall iMovie 04? I am tired of trying to do workarounds for importing when iMovie 04 did great. I am assuming that once I have imported the clips in 04 I can use them in 05?
    Thanks

    Move iMovie HD out of the Applications folder.
    Open the /Library/Receipts folder and delete all files whose name start with "iMovie" (without quotes).
    Install iMovie 4 from the iLife '04 disc.
    Rename "iMovie" to "iMovie 4" (without quotes).
    Put iMovie HD back into the Applications folder.

    Another method is to copy the iMovie HD app from an older G4 or G5 Mac application folder and put it directly into the application folder on the Lion/Mountain Lion Mac, in a new folder you create there, calling it iMovie Previous Version.

  • Installing iMovie HD 6

    I have a new MBP and iLife '09. I absolutely hated the last iMovie ('08?) and very much liked iMovie HD. I have some family movie projects that I really want to continue with iMovie HD.
    I have my original iLife '06 disk and wanted to just install iMovie HD. But when you select custom install, it has both iMovie HD and iDVD '06 grayed out, which I assume means that it will install both. Since I have iDVD '09 installed, I don't want to clobber it with an older version.
    Somewhere I seem to have read that iMovie HD was downloadable from Apple's web site. I searched and see that there are downloadable updates but I don't see the real deal.
    Anyone know if a) iMovie HD is downloadable or b) the standard install won't clobber iDVD '09?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The download links that you see on the Apple site are only upgrades from version 6 to 6.0.2 and 6.0.3
    Generally the old iLife 06 disc has version 6 and you use those links to upgrade it to 6.0.3.
    Now installing iMovie HD through the iLife 06 disc MAY affect your version of iMovie 09 and iDVD, however all you need to do is re-install iLife 09 and everything will be sweet again.

  • Can't install iMovie HD 6 even though i have iLife '08

    i have iLife '08, yet i cannot install iMovie HD 6 (i downloaded it from the support site). What could be wrong?

    If iMovie 08 is not installed, you cannot install iMovie HD6 from the free download.
    I don't think that this is correct. My iMac has the PowerPC chip, and therefore IMovie 08 could not be installed. Installation of the rest of the iLife 08 suite was completed without a problem.

  • Message:  PLEASE INSTALL iLIFE 08 BEFORE INSTALLING iMOVIE HD 6  ...  huh?

    My two year old Macbook's hard drive completely croaked two months ago and I got a brand new one installed under my warranty. Now I have OS X 10.4.11. It came loaded with iPhoto 08, iMovie 08, iDVD 08, GarageBand, and iWeb 08... so I assume that means I have iLife 08.
    Well on iMovie 08 I can't work on any of my movie projects I had backed up. I tried to install iMovie 6 that I downloaded but can't install it: the message says to install iLife 08 first. Any ideas? When I got my Macbook out of the Apple shop with it's shiny new hard drive I got no disks whatsoever.
    And, may I just say a heartfelt THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Apple for pushing us a giant step backwards with your iMovie 08 dud. Thanks, Apple!

    it solidly refuses to recognize my iLife 08 suite.
    You mean with regard to installing iLife HD 06?
    Which I assume you are downloading here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovieHD6
    Do you still have the disks that came with the computer originally? It might be worth trying to reinstall iMovie HD 6 that way because it's not going to care if iMovie '08 is present or not.
