Older version of iLife on new iMac

I will be updating to a new iMac but need iWeb. It has previously been recommended to buy an older version of iLife on eg. Ebay but I was wondering how that would work. Would I have 2 versions of iLife running or would the older version of iLife replace the one preinstalled?
Thanks

I don't know about newer Macs and iLife but I think the various components are more or less stand alone. In other words you can run iWeb and iDVD from an older version next to iPhoto and whatever of a new version. I strongly suspect the installer will let you customize what is installed and you can just select the iLife components that were removed in later versions. Still, it would be a good idea to back up your computer first just in case there is some shared library component and the installation had undesirable results.

Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

If I am downloading a new version of an album that I already have in itunes, do I need to delete the older version before downloading the new?

No, you don't need to.

Transitioned from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to boot I get a "General Error 41" and files do not load. Took the WD to the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works OK. Ideas?

Took the WD the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works fine. The problem seems to be in my new iMac, other WD's with different files load OK. Any ideas?

Hi
Can it be so that You try to boot a G5 (Power) Mac from one external hard disk - then try to boot an INTEL Mac from same external Mac.
WILL NOT WORK - It's not just the Mac OS Extended formation that plays a part here - they have to be formatted differently to be bootable on each system.
I don't think there is any solution to this AT ALL.
When You format a hard disk.
• Select Partitions
• Under the graphic representation to the left there is an Alternative button
Here You select if it's supposed to be Bootable on a Power CPU or INTEL-CPU
No other possibilities.

How to run java older version java program with newer version 1.6.

Hello frds.....i have a one query regarding jkd newer version. I was using older version of jdk 1.4 for my java program and projects' work. Now i installed newer version of java 1.6 in my machine, so when i tried to compile and run my older version programs in the newer version, its showing many errors. So can anybody helps me on this query that how can i run my older version java programs in newer version 1.6 or what types of changes i will be do in my java programs.
Thanks in advance

There is only one incompatibility between 1.4 and 1.6, and that is the introduction of the 'assert' keyword. (or did that happen in 1.4?)I believe that was the one and only incompatible change made in 1.4.
(Although I'm saying that from memory, and 1.4 was a long time ago -- so the "one and only" part could be wrong.)

How can I load an older version of OSX onto my iMac?

Hey:
I have a Mid-2011 iMac running 10.7 right now. I partitioned the boot drive, creating a new space so I could load up 10.6 (in an effort to be able to play my older Diablo II and Warcraft games) but my retail CD version is not working. I did some research, and found that this is because my hardware is incompatible with the oldest versions of 10.6. What I am confused about, when reading through threads, is how can I get around this? Is there a way I can load up a newer version of 10.6 (like 10.6.3 or newer) onto this partition? Do I need an older Mac to do this (right now both my laptop and iMac are running 10.7 but I could always borrow my Mom's laptop for a bit since she is running 10.6.x)? Since I have a legal version of 10.6 I assume there is a way to do this, but I am not sure how to approach. I'm pretty knowledgeable with computers & technology, so I just need a general outline to get me started.
Any help from the community would be wonderful. Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I'm not looking to replace my current operating system, because I primarily need to work out of 10.7. I just need the older version (basically dual boot, choose which operating system I want at startup) to occassionally play the games that are not supported in 10.7. Actually, I had heard of lots of people doing this but the responses were all over the place and I was hoping to get a concise thought of what will work for my specific scenario.
Unfortunately borrowing my mother's computer is not an option as she lives miles from me and I would never know when I have the time or want to play. Anyone who has played Diablo or Warcraft can sympathize, my mom would never see her computer again if I needed it to play these games.
Thanks again. I might try the external drive scenario, but was just hoping to be able to dual boot into 10.6 directly with the hard drive(s) in the computer because my USB and firewire ports are all taken with lots of other equipment (I'm a graphic/web designer so have 2 printers, wacom tablet, external backup, 2 large die cut machines and so much more already plugged in). I'm pretty tapped out on ports without using a hub and I don't like the way they work (too many years in technology knowing that direct connect is the best way to go).

(Is this needed) If have prior GB Versions Uninstalled on a new iMac +GB9'

??
Hi,
I used (prior) a eMac with Ilife V1 and V2 and hence GB 1 and GB 2, along with Jam Pack 1
(Discontinued. Non Genre Jam Pack 1) I bought a new Imac with GB 9' installed and (*this may be a be a very dumb question*) , ? are there items (Virtual Instruments and Loops from those two versions not included With iLife 9' and GB 5 installed on the iMac + are prior items included from prior iLife Versions (including V3and V4 of G-Band (iLife 06 and 08 I believe) or as some do some do not refer to the version of Garageband as V9 with iLife 09 (makes sense to me)
I have the earlier discs from iLife (V1 and V2) but do not want to corrupt GB either, I am planning to install the Jam Pack 1 and update 1.01, and the update(s) for GB 5 (iLife 9') 5.01 and 5.2 or 5.02 ?(I have those updates bookmarked) * or should I procede with GB 9 and any Jam pack Install's and updates to GB 9 and not worry about prior versions ( I do have 4 sealed Jam Packs, (left that way) as I may go to LE or Logic *and from what (different at times) I have read or told,The current 5 Jam packs are included in Logic Studio (I have all but World Music, have Rhythm Section, RemixTools, Voices and Symphony) I bought them this summer (new and sealed)(Not bootlegs or opened from a Apple Reseller (New and Refurbished) who holds a annual online Garage Sale and this year I checked and was able to get the four (at great prices) so Its a possible I may sell them to put sale proceeds toward LE or Logic Studio (but first my Audio Interface does not have Snow Leopard Drivers (topped at Leopard) it was a good run, and I need to check my MIDI Keyboard controller (though drivers are available through OSX 10.6.6 , I figured something or more than 1 gear item might not be compatible and its the Audio Interface and compared to when i bought a Tascam US-122 (USB 1.1) the market and options have exploded in choices
I bought and returned one Firewire 400 unit as it was just way to complex and there was no real reason for it (and I really researched too, my bad, choice) I did see a Unit from Namm 11 Winter (Jan 2011) a ART Dual Tube Pre USB 2.0 and has a optional power supply, works on batteries, and USB 2.0 power also (has two combo XLR/14 Inst Ins, 2 1/4 outs for monitors, Two 1/4 line inserts, and headphones out and SP/DIF out. The unit I returned was $399.99
and this unit with Power supply is $157.00, no MIDI but that is workable (or a work around is available if needed,for not that expensive, its due to ship late February 2011 so still time to think and look at new products from NAMM and sales will occur as well, the second choice (and a fine unit (imho) a Lexicon U42S I-Onix Series is USB 2.0 plus Power supply and 4 dbx mic preamps is $329.95 which is more than I do want to spend and it debuted at NAMM in 2009
(Winter) and with technology and Operating System updates and drivers that is a lot of time between then and now . Though no bash against Lexicon, They make great Reverb Hardware and Plugins plus other gear.
*The ART Product has no drivers whew..
Thanks for listening and any input + or - would be appreciated
* I did read on the Current Jam-packs that GB 2 is required (but GB9 works fine ) so I think based on its install and going forward am fine, just wondering if leaving behind virtual Instruments etc from GB 1 and 2 ?
Jam pack 1 I do not understand why that was discontinued, the Amps, effects and VI are great! loops are fine as well
Sincerely,

Hi,
I am going to reword (hopefully) more basically my ?
I used Garageband Versions 1 and 2 ( as part of the first 2 iLife packages)
Since, I bought a current model imac with iLife 09 and Garageband 9' installed, I am wondering
"if" by not updating V1,V2V3V4V5 )with V6 iLife11 Garageband 11" out there as well
Am i leaving behind -lacking anything from the two (initial versions of Garageband ) or
Just move ahead with what is installed GB9' do any updates for it or Jam Packs , It sounds silly but just wondering
Thanks

How do I open older appleworks files on my new iMac?

I cannot open cwk documents created on an emac running 10.3. I now have an iMac, power PC G5 running 10.4.11. I have installed Appleworks 6.2.9 and can create and open documents that have been created with it. I cannot open any documents created on the old computer. I keep getting an i/o error occurred message when I double click on the icon. I have tried opening a new document and inserting the old, but nothing happens. I have downloaded the appleworks file repair utility and dragged the files into that, but still nothing. Help!

You hit widely described features.
AppleWoks 629 is unable to open a lot of old files.
If you had take care of the description of the tool, you wouldn't have lost time with "Appleworks file repair utility" which is perfectly described as a tool designed to repair files corrupted by a specific network configuration. Nothing common which a single user system.
To solve your problem, two tracks available:
(a) run AppleWorks under Classic. Doing that it's in fact AppleWorks 628 which will run and it is able to open oldies.
(b) get an older version of the program, 624 or 627 which are able to do the job.
Open the files then save them in the "new" format. When it will be done you will be able to use them with 629.

Error Code 6 on trying to install a previously bought CS4 from an older Macbook Pro to a new iMac.

Iam trying to install my Photoshop CS4 onto my new iMac that I used on an older Macbook Pro that no longer works but when I try to install it I get an error code 6. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Murray,
These illustrate what I'm experiencing.
Image #1 - Shows the template file open and the place it is and always has been saved.
When this template is saved DW does not offer to update the site pages that use this template as expected.
So I attempt to update the pages via Modify:Templates:Update Pages and this is where I encounter the 'error -43' message.
You asked for a file. Please be more specific as to what file or files. Presume you'd want the source code in a text file, correct?
I appreciate you time and interest.

Can I delete older version after installing a newer version of Firefox?

I have other software that when I install a newer version, it runs off the older one but adds to it...meaning I can't uninstall the older one or the new one won't work. Can I uninstall the older versions of Firefox when I install a newer one? I don't like having all this stuff on my computer!!!

Yes, if you have used you computer and feel you have all of the settings and preferences file you need then delete it.

Export and import a whole older version datebase to a new one

Hi, everyone,
There is a requirement to export one Oracle database(8.0.5) and import into one database instance(Oracle 8.1.7 over WinNT). Are there any detailed procedure or check to follow for this operation? or any document and URL helpful can guide this operation.
Or anything should be carefully for different version and different OS?
Thanks in advance,
Hawk

You need to run your export with the older version software. In other words, use the 8.1.7 version export program if you want into import to 8.1.7. This 8.1.7 export file will also be compatible with the 8.0.5 import program, but not the other way around.
There's a compatibility matrix on Metalink. If you have a Metalink account, logon and do a search on "import export compatibility matrix".
