Installing previous versions of ilife on (mid 2007) imac

deciding about ordering my a new 20" imac 2.4GHZ to replace my G5 imac. I enjoy ilife '08 for some things and still use imovie HD 6.3 for my video editing. I even use the themes from earlier imovie's. Can I install earlier versions of imovie from my iLife '04,'05, '06 discs, while leaving ilife '08 still installed on my new imac (mid 2007) so idvd an iphoto and iweb are the latest. I guess I may want to Manually install earler versions of ilife and then re-install ilfe '08 from the install disc of the new imac, and its really the idvd themes from current to past, that I still want access to.
Any help is appreciated

I guess what I really need to do is wait till Leopard is released, a better buying decision anyway for a new mac.
1. Then reformat drive install Leopard 10.5.x with out installing iLife Applications then install iLife '06 and then use the install disc that came with my new mac to upgrade the iLife apps to life '08 and I will still have imovieHD in a separate folder automatically.
2. If, take a new imac (mid 2007 ) out of the box and open idvd and click on the themes button will it show idvd themes 7/ 6 / 5 / and older themes? I guess that is the main question that I have?

Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake. M/c is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)

Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake. Machine is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mountain Lion is a full 64-bit operating system. Why do you think Mountain Lion is 32-bit in your computer?
To check that you are definitely using a 64-bit operating system, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
uname -a
Then, tell us what you see at the end after RELEASE. If you see i386, you are running a 32-bit operating system. If you see x86_64, you are using a 64-bit operating system. Also, the processor of your Mac is 64-bit

Mid-2007 iMac Running Mavericks Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Install

How do I go about installing a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (OEM) partition on a mid-2007 iMac running Mavericks?
Apple says that 64-bit Windows 7 isn't supported by my model iMac, but I know for a fact that other people have gotten it to work. I'm just a little unclear on how exactly to do it. In any case, I made the mistake of buying two copies of Windows 7 64-bit under the assumption that they would install just fine on my iMac and MacBook Pro (MacBook Pro is from 2007 as well), so I need to get this working.
What version of Boot Camp should I use? What version support drivers should I download? Apple says that Boot Camp 5.1, which is what I have, is incompatible with my iMac, and it says the same thing for every driver download that supports 64-bit versions of Windows 7, but would it be correct to say that this "incompatibility" is only the case if I don't first modify my Windows 7 installation disc according to the instructions in the attached link?
There is a Windows XP partition on my MacBook Pro, so I figure I can get on it to modify the installation disc before attempting a 64-bit Windows 7 install on the iMac.

Can I install a 3TB drive in my mid-2007 24" iMac?

I'd like to know if I can install a 3TB drive in my mid-2007 24" iMac. The OTW page for this model says that 2TB is the maximum, but I think it was written before 3TB drives became available. Does anyone know if the controller will recognize drives larger than 2TB?

Hi,
First off it would need to be Serial ATA (3 Gb/s) compatible.
Looks like 4 TB is no problem in my research at OWC...

Firefox 4 wont even start up now. how do i uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version

want to know how to uninstall firefox 4 and install previous version. also where to get download of previous version

Your problem is caused by the Ask Toolbar which you have installed. There are compatibility issues between Ask and Firefox at the moment.
Please do the following to ensure a clean installation. 
#Use Internet Explorer to download Firefox 4.0.1 from this link: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and choose "'''Save'''" when you see the prompt. Then save it to your desktop. ''Do not choose "Run"''. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
Next, click the Firefox button and go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Find the Ask Toolbar in there and click "Remove".
If you would still prefer to use the previous secure version, use this download link instead of the one to v4.0.1: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] Otherwise the installation procedure and removal of the Ask Toolbar is the same.

I am using a Mac OS X 10.7 and i have trouble using idvd. If I buy a previous version of ilife, will I be able to use idvd without affecting the settings of Mac OS X 10.7? Can both versions of ilife run on the same mac?

You don't need to buy an earlier version of iDVD to have it run with Lion. iDVD 7 has been with us since iLife 08. Tell us in detail what you're experiencing.

Creating photo book in previous version of iLife. Text block outlines.

Creating photo book in previous version of iLife. Want to leave the "default" photo information text block blank. Can delete text, but block outline remains, albeit empty. Will empty block outline print in final book?

The text block area will not show when the book is converted to a PDF file for uploading and printing. Do as Terence suggested and create a PDF file of the book according to this Apple document, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture, and check the book before ordering. Keep the file to compare with the printed copy when you receive it.

4 hrs later - Computer shut down after installing new RAM (mid 2007 Imac)

Mid 2007 imac and I installed new Ram. It worked for 4 hrs then the Imac shutdown. The pressed power button but no power. Unplugged and replugged the power cord and 3 beeps sounded. I am wondering if it worked for 4 hrs or so, then why did it would it fail 4 hrs later?
I am running the correct ram because in system profiler under memory - it said that everything was ok.
Any ideas?

or maybe the back tray wasn't tight enough?
I re-installed it now and so far so good.... I pressed tight and in an upwards motion. We'll see what happens

Problems with Installing 4GB RAM on mid 2007 iMac

I ordered 2 X 2GB sticks of PC2-5300 DDR2 SODIMM RAM for my Boss's mid 2007 iMac from Crucial.com. Well they arrived a few days later and today I have been trying to install them for a few hours now without any luck. I have installed new RAM about 5-6 times without any problems before on different MacBooks and iMacs. After this install I plugged back into the wall and hit the power button, the iMac made a little noise (internal noise) then nothing, just a blank screen. I thought maybe the RAM was bad so I inserted 2 other chips (we ordered 4 X 2GB to upgrade 2 iMacs) and still no luck. After making sure the iMac would boot with the old RAM (which it did), I tried installing 1 X 1GB with 1 X 2GB and it booted up perfectly. I did this with all four 2 GB RAM chips to make sure they all worked and they did. Each time I successfully booted, I went to the system profiler to make sure it recognized 3GB of RAM and it did. So my question is why is this mid 2007 Aluminum iMac not working with 4GB of RAM, but it works perfectly with 3GB? Thanks in advance, sorry for the long question.

+It seems to me that it is not just a problem with the RAM but with the imacs themselves.+
How does this make any sense when one considers that Apple successfully specified, produced, sold and delivered all three iMac (mid 2007) models with an optional 4GB of RAM pre-installed?
In addition, Apple has, without issue, sold large quantities of that same RAM online and over-the-counter for customer upgrades. Much of all that 2GB, and the latest 4GB RAM, as usual, has been manufactured by Micron, the publicly owned U.S. manufacturing company parent of the Crucial direct sales division. The same type of RAM was also being provided to Apple by other manufacturers.
I received my two orders of upgrade RAM from Micron/Crucial even before I had purchased my 24-inch iMac, and it's worked great ever since I installed it. I also installed the second half of that order into my current MacBook, purchased a month after the iMac, and it's also been working great ever since. These are certainly superior Apple products.
Obviously there has been a change in RAM manufacturing design at Micron, probably due to their change-over to the costly, challenging high-tech 50nm and 40nm manufacturing technologies, and it is nothing more than Micron's problem.

My mid 2007 iMac doesn't recognise 2GB RAM module in DIMM/1

I am trying to upgrade the RAM in my mid 2007 iMac from 1GB to 4GB. It originally had a 1GB module in slot DIMM/0 and nothing in slot DIMM/1. I inserted the two new 2GB modules, one in each slot but DIMM/1 just reports as being 'empty'. I have tried swapping the modules and different configurations of 1 & 2GB modules but DIMM/1 only reads the original 1GB module (from DIMM/0) and reports 'empty' when either of the two 2GB modules are installed.
I have reset PRAM, checked EFI firmware update and updated OSX to version 10.6.8 (from 10.5.8) but still the same result. The best I can get is 3GB (2GB in DIMM/0 and 1GB in DIMM/1). I am definitely pushing the modules firmly into place. Is there anything else I can try?

Your machine will accept up to 6GB of RAM however you must a) have the correct specifications, no variations at all and b) must push hard with both thumbs to fully seat the RAM. The correct RAM for your system would be the specifications shown here. I suspect 1 of three things with the RAM you bought.
1. Wrong specifications!
2. Incorrectly installed
3. Defective RAM
I would STRONGLY recommend using Crucial or my preferences OWC, which is the memory shown in the link.
BTW I have a late 2007 24" 2.8GHz iMac with 6GB of RAM.

I want to dual boot Windows 8 on my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac, from an external USB drive.

I want to dual boot Windows 8 on my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac, from an external USB drive. The internal drive is completely dead, it doesn't even show up in Disk Utility. I'm running 10.8.2 from the external drive. When I start Boot Camp Assistant, at the Introduction page, when I press the continue button nothing happens. Do I have to have internal drive to run Boot Camp Assistant? Can anyone provide me with the steps to dual boot, with his setup? Thanks in advance!

Hi maczimillon,
Only follow these steps, it works for my:
Open "System Information" and note your "Boot ROM Version" (some like MBP51.007E.B06)
Navigate to "Utilities" in Finder and open the package contents of -BootCampAssistant.app- with right click. Duplicate the "Info.plist" file to the Desktop e.g. and open that with Text Editor.
You must locate the keys "DARequiredROMVersions"and "USBBootSupportedModels"
Add new strings with the information of your machine under booth keys (step 1), always respect the format, such as: <string>MBP51.007E.B06</string> for the frist key and <string>MBP51</string> for the second key.
Save changes and replace the original plist file (it may ask you to enter admin pass)
If you proceeded correctly you will see the checkbox "Create a Windows 7 USB install disk" enabled in Boot Camp Assistant.
Then you can follow the usual Boot Camp installation using your WIN8 DVD iso image . The assistant program will proceed resizing your disk partition and installing necessary drivers for your iMac.
I strongly recomends you to use thirld party's bootloaders like rEFInd (rEFIt) because of the Apple SMC versions of some old machines should not be able to boot properly from external devices like USB drives.

How do I clean my mid 2007 iMac? The disk space is running VERY low and I would love an idea. I make videos and upload them to youtube and I need space to do that. Thanks for your time!

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Mid 2007 iMac video card does not meet minimum requirements for latest iMovie update

Tried updating to the latest version of iMovie and I get the following message. "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements." I haven't had any luck finding what those requirements are. What are the minimum requirements?
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue here too. I'm using a mid 2007 iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of SDRAM and ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB.
What bugs me is that the update shows up but you are not allowed to install it. Either one of two things needs to happen.
#1 apple allows users to hide the update but still let you know that there is a hardware incompatibality
#2 don't let the update show up at all
