Possible to use iMovie HD with Yosemite?

Just upgraded to Yosemite and was extremely bummed to find that iMovie HD is not compatible. I much prefer it for simple projects.  Any way to use it in Yosemite?

I'm surprised to find this crew of iMovie HD loyalists because in OS 10.9.5 Mavericks I've had nothing but grief with this app.
I know a large number of people using iMovie HD 06 successfully with Mavericks and Yosemite.    I probably made 100+ movies with iMovie HD and Mavericks and never encountered a problem.
Using Yosemite requires the workaround below.
Yosemite has a bug that incorrectly identifies iMovie 6 (a.k.a. iMovie HD) as not compatible.  iMovie HD works fine with Yosemite.
Below is a Yosemite workaround that many use until this bug is fixed.
Find iMovie HD in your applications folder.
Right click on it, and select “Show Package Contents”.
You will then find a folder named "Contents”.  Open it.  Then open the folder named "MacOS”.
There you will find "iMovie HD".  Double-click on this, and iMovie HD will launch.
Please report the bug to Apple, the more reports, the sooner it will get fixed.

You may be doing things with iMovie HD that I do not.   I know many that keep a dedicated computer with Snow Leopard so they can continue to use iMovie HD without risk.

  • For the millions trying to use iMovie HD with Yosemite

    A good discussion got started in iDVD about using iMovie HD (a.k.a. iMovie 06) with Yosemite.
    I am attempting to relocate some of that information into the iMovie forum.
    From jboolean:
    Find iMovie HD.app, control click on it and View Package Contents. Open Contents/MacOS/iMovie HD. That seems to bypass the check.
    From:  hughmass:   ( says it works ! )
    I can confirm that if one right clicks all the way through, and doesn't close the terminal window, iMovie HD works as usual. I put a mp4 into it, put transitions and music, and exported.   Nice discovery as there are a lot of folks who still would rather use this application from 2006. You know, so long ago.
    Hugh
    From Old Toad:
    I tried that fix and it will open but won't work further than that. That method also opens the Terminal app which lists all of the bypasses and commands  iMovie is skipping.  If you close the Terminal window iMovie closes. The project file it creates is not a package as it normally is but just a folder.   It freezes up when you try to edit an audio clip.  Then when closed it won't open the project again.
    I suspect that there is some, “minor item” that is causing the iMovie HD problem with Yosemite.   Hopefully, some programming "super genius" will find a way to  lead the rest of us out of darkness.

    Karsten,   One of the things I really like about you is that even when others disagree with you about “best methods” you always have sympathetic answers and great explanations.  Your technical expertise, and good humor is appreciated by me.
    Quicktime will get obsolete. Now with Yosemite, the new kid in town is AVFoundation
    I'm all for these improvements.  I would be delighted, ecstatic, overjoyed, to change to a new movie editor if it was half as good as iMovie HD. As you know, the new iMovie can't even set chapters!      I use chapters with Podcasts and DVDs.   I also have Final Cut Pro X.   It can set chapters but it's got way more horsepower than I need. 
    When I first started using iMovie 12 years ago I never read the manual.  Didn't need to.  Starting with iMovie 08, I spent hours reading manuals and watching YouTube videos trying to figure out simple tasks.  Sometimes I think I have a mental block because I started my video editing with real film using a razor blade and tape!
    Nobody forces you, to install Yosemite nor to buy a new Mac
    Eventually, you are forced to upgrade.   Let me give you an example.  For a number of years I was using a very high-end analog to digital converter from Grass Valley.  This device came with a terrific piece of software that would “clean up” old footage. I could do lightning and darkening, adjust colors, and filter out “Hiss”.   Well, that software was written for the old IBM processors, the company never updated it. So I was stuck using Snow Leopard (last OS to contain Rosetta) for a long time.
    As time went on, I would purchase new software that would NOT work with Snow Leopard, so I was forced to switch to Mavericks.
    However, you are correct in one regard; if you have a computer that is running the software and hardware that you like and you can dedicate that computer to that one task, yes, you can continue on, more or less indefinitely until your hardware breaks.  I know people who are doing exactly that so they can keep using iMovie HD.
    pretty nonsense to keep PROJECT-files
    I don't keep my project files either.   I do my editing with iMovie HD, then I use iDVD to create a DVD image file (about 4 GB). That is the only item I keep.
    My mind boggles at the multitude of video file formats available.  But I know this, 20 years from now I will still be able to play a DVD or at least view the DVD image file.

  • Is it possible to use variant configuration (with a Non-SAP solution) when creating ERP sales orders in SAP CRM WebUI

    Hello,
    our customer plans to use a Non-SAP solution for variant configuration (Camos) in SAP ERP (ECC 6.0) and in SAP CRM 7.0 EHP1 as well.
    ERP sales orders (and ERP quotations) should be created in SAP CRM (CRM WebUI).
    Is it possible to use variant configuration (with an external variant configuration tool) when creating ERP sales orders and quotations in the SAP CRM WebUI or do we have to implement SAP IPC for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    AEV

    Dear AEV,
    I think LORD (lean orders) should work with variant configuration as well. In the note 1236015 there is not restriction listed. However you need lord2 activated in ECC, and ECC system should be on EHP4.
    Best regards
    Rene

  • Is it possible to use Speech Recognition with Final Cut Studio?

    Is it possible to use Speech Recognition with Final Cut Studio?
    Using either Speech, AppleScript, Automator or a 3rd party app
    like iListen, can I enable Final Cut Studio apps to respond
    to voice commands?
    (e.g. I say "I" in Final Cut Pro and it sets an in point)
    thanks

    Yes, I wish "Make it really good" and "Fix my rough cut"
    were commmands too
    I did hear from the folks at iListen that
    they are planning on releasing a ScriptPak
    for Final Cut Studio next year which could be
    cool
    and that yes, iListen has some capability to
    integrate Speech Recognition with Final Cut,
    guess I need to give it a try for a test ride

  • Anyone using iMovie 6 with OS 10.5.3

    Anyone using iMovie 6 with OS 10.5.3
    I am now using iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 with OS 10.5.2 on a MacPro (working fine).
    I would like to here from a 10.5.3 user before getting 10.5.3
    Thanks.

    thanks Bengt.
    I've never done video editing so this is new to me. was surprised at how easy it was with the test video, in this case, being a "flipvideo camcorder" the first step is taking the video clips and then making them into a movie - hence the need for imovie 6.
    I will have to now actually read the instructions for doing the next step of editing. initially just wanted to see if it worked with the FLIP cam. now I can have fun learning something totally new.
    first think I'm going to do is check what format iMovie6 saves the movie in. the clips are AVI. The tech said they could be saved to another format, but haven't gotten that far yet.
    thanks

    The following is the basic procedure to extend one 802.11n AirPort with another:
    AEBSn - Extending a wireless network Setup
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

  • IS it possible to use ni-visa with lookout to use an instrument driver

    IS it possible to use ni-visa with lookout to use an instrument driver,, or just use the insturment driver...
    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    NI-VISA is a driver layer that is used to communicate to Serial, GPIB, VXI and PXI platform.
    In reality the drivers that you use with Lookot do not make use of this driver layer called VISA (which is used for the most part in the instrument control area).
    Normally the terminology (Instrument Driver) is not used in Lookout (or in any SCADA system). So the answer for your question is no, you cannot use NI-VISA with Lookout, with Lookout you either use the drivers object that comes with the package or you use an OPC server (normaly provided by the hardware manufacturer, this hardware is normally a PLC) to provide data to Lookout.
    I hope it helps

  • Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

    Is it possible to use a Mac with an embroidery sewing machine?

    Computer support for that type of equipment is completely up to the company making/selling the embroidery software, not the computer builder. A Mac likely could support any such device BUT the device makers must choose to include Mac software versions. Many specialty software developers are about 15 yeas in the past and thing no one uses Macs, or they are doing the project on a shoestring budget and would have to hire someone on the outside to port the program to Mac.
    As that function is likely of very narrow interest around here, I think you would do better to visit some of the embroidery sites and see if they mention products with known Mac support.
    Otherwise you will have to find the sites for every embroidery machine maker to look for mention of Mac support.

  • Is it possible to use face time with my iphone4 with 3G  when the wi-fi is not avalable because my friend own a 4S and he can? Thank you...

    Is it possible to use face time with my iphone4 with 3G when the wi-fi is not avalable

    Hi,
    The Blurb
    The * items message that is at the bottom
    *FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a mobile network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or iPad (3rd generation) with mobile data capability. Availability over a mobile network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
    Some features may not be available in all countries or all areas. Click here to see complete list.
    It is not specifically saying it is 4G only phones.
    It is not saying it is 3G either.
    It is not listing an iPhone 4  (only the 4S)
    It seems whether 3G can or cannot or if the iPhone can do 4G and it is available it seems that particular model will not.

  • Is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    I wanted an extended desktop using 2 monitors.
    I am using a Dell Ultrasharp ( has 1 VGA and 1 DVI-D) and a LG W2286 (has 2 HDMI, 1 DVI-D and 1 VGA)
    I ran into a similar issue where initially the mac would not detect the 2 displays and I thought I would share my solution.  I have a Mac Mini 10.8.2 i7 Late 2012.
    I bought a "Cable Matters" brand Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt to DVI Male Cable to have dual monitors.
    I am also using the included in the box  HDMI to DVI-D Adapter from Apple.
    Initial configuration was:
    Mini-Display (Thunderbolt connector) to DVI connected to the LG DVI-D input.
    Apple HDMI to DVI Dongle connected to the Dell DVI-D input.
    What happened was that my desktop was on the LG clear as day but OSX did not see the dell monitor.
    I called apple support and they could not figure out why the mini cant see the dell monitor. I think I discovered that the mac mini could not support 2 dvi monitors.
    I switched the monitor connections.
    The connections that works:
    HDMI out to HDMI in on the LG using a standard HDMI cable.
    Display port | Thunderport to DVI-D on the Dell's DVI-D in.
