Is iDVD from iLife 11 compatible with OS X Lion 10.7.3?

I recently bought a 21.5" Mid 2011 iMac and was surprised to find out that iDVD was not included. I am considering buying iLife 11 for $49.99 just for iDVD but I am not clear as to whether or not iDVD is even compatible with OS X Lion 10.7.3 ... Any info/feedback/help/suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

At this point I will probably deal with not having it or just get Toast from Roxio. Since Apple is phasing out iDVD who knows if it will just become incompatible eventually anyway.
I have both Toast and iDVD. IDVD is vastly superior for making movies.
IDVD is not being phased out by Apple. They have simply stopped including it with new computers. Apple currently sells iDVD as part of iMovie 11 in the Apple Store. It is also available from Amazon.
It is unlikely that iDVD will become incompatible anytime in the next few years. All Mac OSs and updates are tested for compatibility with iDVD.

How do you uninstall iDVD from iLife '08?

I've tried numerous times to remove the iDVD components from *iLife '08* from my system so that I can reinstall iDVD from *iLife '06*. (Why Apple does not provide an Uninstall option is a mystery to me.) I've removed the application file and the Preferences file, but there must be other files that I'm overlooking (such as the Themes file). Can anyone provide me with a _list of all the components_ (by exact file name) I need to remove along with the _exact paths_ to their locations? iDVD/iLife '08 will not run correctly on my system, so I really need to try and reinstall *iDVD/iLife '06*. If anyone can provide such a list I'm sure it will help a great number of people who run into similar problems, and you will be a hero forever! Many Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can install iDVD 6 and run it but as Ian pointed out you'll probably have to manually import photos, iMovie files, etc. into an iDVD project. The media browser probably won't work. You can certainly try it though. To uninstall iDVD 7 delete the application, the preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, and all files with iDVD in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.

Will Installing LTR5 from CC be compatible with full version LTR 5.7 on desktop ? will it over write any settings i have and what purpose will this serve?

will Installing LTR5 from CC be compatible with full version LTR 5.7 on desktop ? I bought the standalone LTR5 couple years ago .So will CC LTR5 overwrite any settings i have in This application ?And simply merge with what I have on desktop without too much trouble ? I have over 10,000 photos in Libraryin LTR5.7 Do I Leave LTR5 IN CC alone even tho I am paying for the Photgraphy package at 9.99?. whats the difference between the Lightrooms ? Thanks on clarifying !

There is only one version of the Lightroom program. The Lightroom standalone version, the student version, and the CC version are all the same program. The only difference is in how they are licensed. The standalone version that you are using is activated with a serial number. The CC installation is activated with your Adobe ID and Adobe password. I would suggest that you uninstall your standalone version. Then you will be able to install Lightroom from the creative cloud application manager. The application manager will keep track of updates for you as they are released. And when Lightroom 6 is released you will get it automatically, no additional charge, as part of your creative cloud subscription.
Uninstalling your current Lightroom will uninstall the program, but will leave the catalog and all user files as well as all of your images on the computer. Once you have installed Lightroom from the creative cloud manager you will be able to simply double-click on the desktop icon (which will look just like the old one) and start right where you left off. Everything will be intact, business as usual. I know this because I went through the process I have described when I joined the creative cloud. It happened just as I have described. There were no problems in switching.

Is Photoshop elements 11 compatible with Mac Mountain lion?

Is Photoshop elements 11 compatible with Mac Mountain Lion?

the older version of Photo Shop is no longer supported.
Don't know which version you mean, but if you mean PSE, then versions 6 and up will work.
You can't migrate any version of PSE, though, from one disk to another. It must be installed freshly on each machine, since adobe doesn't care about the apple developer guidelines and PSE is not a tidy mac app package--the PSE installer strews stuff all over your hard drive, and you can never move it and get all the necessary bits.
What I was talking about is if you had a computer with 10.6 or 10.7 and PSE installed on it and then upgraded to mountain lion. In that case it's essential to go into the user library and delete any existing preference files before running it after installing 10.8.
The instructions to install PSE in mountain lion are to put the disc the drive or to double click the downloaded .dmg file to mount it, and then to run the installer.

IMovie & iDVD from iLife 06 don't work with my computer

Hello all,
I have just installed iLife06, and I have problems with iMovie and iDvd
1. when opening a file from the old iMovie 05 it doesn't work. The transitions are messed up and the audio and video are out of phase. If I try to redo the transitions a big jump happens.
2. I imported a new movie from my camera and when I wanted to edit it (just as I used to with the 05 program) it does not work. Transitions and fades don't work either.
3. iDvd performs the same way with my old files. It doesn't read them properly and I can't use them anymore.
iWeb, iTunes, iPhoto work just fine.
The computer was reformated after having a new logic plate installed two weeks ago.
Does anyone know what I can do to use these programs just like I used to before I installed iLife 06??
Help appreciated.
iMac (iSight) 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5 GB Apple RAM, iLife '06
iMac (iSight) 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5 GB Apple RAM, iLife '06

I also just installed iLife '06 on my G5 and iMovie HD '06 does not work at all. I am not able to import photos of any format or any DV clips. All of the buttons appear to be frozen (themes, media, editing, etc.). I do get the error message when I start up that some features of iMovie HD will not work since my graphics card does not support quartz extreme. Perhaps that is the problem, but I thought the program should at least run on a G5. I have tried several of the maintenance activities (repairing permissions, dumping logfiles, etc.) suggested on a previous posting, but with no success. I have used iMovie 4 for years with no problems. Is there anything left to do but try to reinstall iMovie 4?

Is iLife 5 compatible with OS 10.6.8?

Is iLife 5 (iDVD) compatible with OS 10.6.8? I had to restore OS 10.6.8 and now I have compatibility issues.

No, not dependably. iDVD 5 does not work with Snow Leopard.
You need iMovie 6 from iLife 6 and iDVD 7 upwards with Snow Leopard.

Urgent help please - iDVD from iLife 09 - Won't start normal, can't quit ..

All,
I was in the middle of a job and things were going fine. Incorporating some changes to template supplied. I really don't know what I did, but now I cannot exit iDVD. Each attempt to quit ends with a "unexpected end", and any start of iDVD starts with the last one there. I can drag and drop existing projects but can't start a new one. I've tried deleting prefs file - didn't help. I did the "boot the OS X install and fix permissions" ... still nothing. It just seems stuck with this inability to exit cleanly. Do I need to reinstall, if so, what's the best way? Should I delete the one I have and install from iLife '09 disk?
I'm right in the middle of trying to finish up a job.. Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like you have adequate boot volume space. What I would try first is to copy all video assets for iDvd to the boot volume since iDvd likes things where it can easily find them. Then I'd eject the 3rd party ext. HHD. Pro apps give you a bit more latitude in this regard but iDvd tends to be picky about what it will or will not use (at least when compared to apple's pro apps / DVDSP).
Btw, you did properly format the ext. firewire HDD with apple's disc utility, did you not?

Location of the assets has never been a problem and isn't here (nor should it be, else Apple wouldn't give us the ability to put projects elsewhere) .
It can work with every bit of the asset if I drop the project file onto the dock icon. I also have and use Final Cut Studio Pro so I'm well aware of its capabilities. All drives, eSATA, FW800, and USB are formatted correctly for Intel based Mac.
I hooked up the backup system drive, copied the plist from there, and renames all the DVDPROJ files so iDVD could not find them. A bit Draconian, but so far it is letting me back in normally, and exit normally. I'll have to retrace the steps, but as long as it holds hopefully I won't hit it again.
Interestingly, after my first attempt at deleting the prefs file, iDVD did not generate a new one, which was odd. So hopefully I'm back to a solid starting point.
On a side note, is there ANYWAY at all to add additional font sizes to the drop down list for text? I know in earlier versions there were sliders that allowed for font sizes to be changed. There are a few places on this project (4:3) where I'd like to keep things in bounds for SD NTSC output, but have text a bit larger.
Thanks again...

Is LION 10.7.4 from App Store compatible with mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15"?

I just downloaded lion 10.7.4 from the app store, copied it to a pen drive in the right way (which makes it bootable & tested that and it boots on a 2008 MBP). Connected that pen drive to my 2012 MBP, booted by pressing the alt key, and when i selected the pen drive with the 10.7.4 installation, I get a no entry sign on the screen - basically meaning I cannot install lion.
Note that I have completely formatted my HD, thus losing the lion recovery partition, so thats why I am having to install from the pen drive.

You can install lion on that Mac you just have to start it and be sure to connect to a good internet connection. I suggest you are plugged in to a router directly. Then it should prompt you and when you sign in it will see that you purchased Lion and will verify your mac then it will guide you through the rest of the install. try doing that before you restoe it , you may waste alot of time considering you formatted. Otherwise if it is a mid-2012 it absolutely is compatible and you can call Applecare and they will guide you through it with ease.
The firmware on your mac is what will pull up the promt for connecting to the internet and other such utilities.
Good luck and enjoy !

Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

Got the email from Apple Aperture compatible with future versions of iOS? (Mac OS?)

Got the email from Apple about Aperture this morning. They had a huge omission: are they going to keep Aperture compatible with future iOS? If not, I want, at a minimum, a refund for what I paid for the app.

They had a huge omission: are they going to keep Aperture compatible with future iOS?
There will be no further development of Aperture. That much should be clear from the announcement, that Aperture will no longer be sold at the AppStore. You are lucky - you used the last chance to buy the best photos app ever Apple created. The new Photos is not intended to be used by professional photographers like Aperture was. And you will be able to use and enjoy it as long as you keep a compatible operating system on your Mac.

I can't restore my data from my iphone5s or ipad to my new iphone6, because it woulkd seem that none of the available backups from icloud are compatible with iOS 8.0.2, which is what the new iphone is running. (or so it seems).

Just received my iphone6, as my iphone5s gave up the ghost. Completely. I now want to restore everything that I had on my old phone to my new new one using icloud. However, when I arrive at the screen that asks you to select a backup version, it shows me a list, but then at the bottom of the screen there is a message that says that 'no icloud backups are compatible with the version of (8.0.2) on this iphone.' I also have an ipad, and both the 5 and the ipad were updated to 8.1. I did try to back up via itunes, but only got some of my photos's back and none of my messages, some of which had essential information on them. Anybody have any idea's? Any help gratefully recieved!

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.
