Putting imovie 09 on mac mini

i have a imac mini with snow leopord 10.6.6 and i have imovie 11 i was wondering if i could put imovie 09 on the mac and keep imovie 11

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Maybe try holding Option key when opening iPhoto & see if you can choose the Library.

Any suggestions on how to fix installation issues with iPhoto & iMovie on used Mac mini?

I bought a used, mid 2011, mac min. The selller deauthorized all his applications and resotred it to factory settings for me. When I received it, I added myself as an administrator and deleted the dummy user the seller had created after restoring the OS. The first thing I wanted to do was install applications I already have on my iMac (also running OSX Lion). It would not install iPhoto or iMovie. It said these applications were assigned to a different apple id, the previous owner. I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall Lion myself. I ran into some snags (due to my internet connection) and had to use recovery thumb drive, but it worked.
I successfully re-installed Lion on the newly formatted hard drive.
I still cannot install iPhoto and iMovie. It just give me an error now. Couriously, it installed Garage Band just fine. I haven't had any other issues with other applications I purchased on my other iMac.
Anyone have any suggestions, besides purchasing iPhoto and iMovie on the mac mini?

Ethernet cord connected to the router solved it. This is exactly what I had to do when I reinstalled the operating system. For some reason my wireless internet is highly inreliable. It drops out constantly. I've always had my iMac hard wired to the router, but I'll have to figure out a fix for this Mac mini. I can't have a 30ft ethernet cord running through the middle of my basement. Thanks.

Burn from iMovie on new Mac Mini

I just purchased a new Mac Mini and I created a project from iMovie '11, but iDVD is no longer on them, so what is the best way to burn an iMovie project to DVD?

If you have access to a different mac with optical drive, transfer the file to it and burn it there. Or use target disk mode between the two systems via FireWire ( as opposed to wifi or ethernet networking to that machine ... which is too slow and unreliable to transfer that much data and will give you coasters)
If you only have one mac, the new mac mini, your best and easiest bet is an external USB dvd burner. Apple sells one.
There are many reports in this forum and others of people who have bought a USB dvd burner drive from another manufacturer for as little as $30 and used that successfully.

Can I save a movie on my iMac G5 put it on my Mac mini and burn it?

ok, so I have iDVD 09 on my iMac G5 running leopard and I made a movie, but the problem is I cant burn it on a DVD due to it only having a combo drive. But I have a Mac mini late 2014 with a SuperDrive and I was wondering if I could transfer the file and burn it on my Mac mini

Click here, follow the instructions, and transfer the image. The Mac mini doesn't need to have iDVD installed to do this.

I want to put a 3rd party SSD in my mac mini and I no how to put in inside the mac mini but, how do I get osx on it preferably Yosemite I do not have a external hard drive just the one that comes with the mac mini and my 3rd party internal SSD please help me.

The easy way is to Purchase an External Enclosure like the Startech USB 3.0 S2510BPU33 with UASP, its a Super Fast connection, SATA 3.1 @ 6 Gb/s.
Just Pop your SSD inside the enclosure and use OS X Disk Utility to clone your existing HDD. This enclosure is So Fast you would not even have to open up your Mini to install the SSD, just Boot Externally you would Never Know the difference and your Warranty won't be affected by opening it up.
What Mini do you have ?

Putting files on Mac Mini

I just purchased the intel Mac mini that has the Tiger OS.
I also have an iMAC G5 at home with Jaguar.
I bought the Mac mini for entertainment purposes only.
My iMAC was getting too full of music and it was getting bogged down, so I am going to take my 30 gigs of music off of my iMAC and put it on the MAC mini. I am going to then hook my MAC mini up to my surround sound speakers and my LCD tv (useing *** the monitor) in the front room.
My question is .... can I transfer my iTunes files easily from the iMAC to the MAC mini if the 2 computers have diff OS?
If so, how?
Will it transfer smoothly with all my playlists and music in order?
Will I need to purchase a special firewire to do so?
The Apple employee told me it's easy. He said something about holding down the "P" button while starting up the computers after they are connected.
Please help.

There is no problem copying it to the other computer. And, it doesn't matter that they have different microprocessors.
The guy at the store likely said the "T" key.
That would put the computer in Target Disk Mode.
With both computers off, connect the two computers using a FireWire cable.
Turn on the iMac and hold down the letter "T" immediately after turning on the computer. Keep holding it down until you see the computer display a "FireWire" logo. That vaguely looks like a large Capital "Y" with a circle in the middle of it.
Then, turn on the Mac Mini.
When the Mac Mini is done booting up, you'll see a hard drive icon on your desktop that represents your iMac's hard drive.
Now, browse to the iMac's hard drive and navigate to:
Hard Drive --> Users --> "Your User Name" --> Music
Now, get the Folder called "iTunes" and copy it to the exact same location on your new Mac Mini.
It will ask to over-write the existing folder. Just say yes.
Now, when you open iTunes on the new Mac Mini, it should see the music library.
Alternatively, if you don't want to use the above route, you can do everything except copy the folder from one computer to the other. And, instead:
Open iTunes on the new Mac Mini, and then go to the "File" menu and select "Add to Library".
Then, navigate to the location I mentioned previously on the iMac G5 (where your music is stored), and go into the iTunes Folder, and choose the "iTunes Music" folder.
Now, tell it to import, and you should start seeing all your music being added to the library.
When you are done, turn off both computers, and disconnect the cable.
Use the normal method to shut-down the Mac Mini first, and then press and hold the power button on the iMac until it turns-off.
Hope this helps.

Mac Mini crashes when exporting imovie projects

Hi.
When I try to export imovie projects, my Mac Mini crashes. Not ever, just every two or three times.
My system is 10.6.7 and imovie is 11. Can anyone help me? Thanks, I apologize for my bad English

Thank you, I'll try!
I hope you're right, because is boring to see out of the blue all the screen getting grey and the window that invites you to reboot, without hope... It happens, for example, after two or three succesful exporting projects, then I reboot and go on for another two or three projects and then again... I'm afraid it's a RAM problem, but I'll try to update system and software.
Thank you again

Mac Mini AppleTV

Dear Apple,
Thank you for finally putting HDMI on the Mac Mini and giving me the single cable connection for my TV that I've been waiting for. I am loving having a computer hooked up to my 40" TV in the living room. Thank you!
Please understand that a lot of the time I want to use this computer as an AppleTV. Front Row works alright... but please bring an update to OS X that will allow me to do the same things that my friends with AppleTVs can do.
Mac Mini $$$ > AppleTV $$$
So why not make the Mini even that much more enticing?
Thank you.
If you agree... sound off!

why not send suggestions here: _*Mac OS X Feedback*_ ?
FWIW, at $ 99 the new TV seems to be the more favorable option in the living room vs. a fully fledged computer such as the Mini (with keyboard and mouse cluttering the room).
happy computing !

Considering replacing G5 PowerMac(non-intel) with Mac Mini.

I have a G5 PowerMac running Tiger. The machine is ~6 years old. I want to replace, but no longer need the Pro Apps (Final Cut Pro, Vectorworks) that I was running before. Also want to shrink footprint in the office, so I am considering a Mac Mini to connect to Internet service with a NAS device for agnostic file storage, and a wireless home network. I will be using windows laptop wirelessly.
I have two computer-using kids now and would put them at the Mac-mini for homework, an iPad or laptop each for me and my wife for work/life purposes.
We have loads of digital content: movies, photos, etc. and need storage volume. I'll be consolidating over 6 external drives to the NAS
Anyway, what do I give up when I move from PowerMac to MacMini in terms of Ports, Bus, etc.
Also, I spent a little time over at the AppleTV forum and am intrigued...
I haven't yet pursued a solution at an Apple Store, because the sales people I've dealt with lately have been more about sales than about solutions.

Thanks for the thoughts, John.
Our household now has two young computer users and so demand for mouse-time is high. I think the new environment will be a Mini - NAS - WiFi - Printer base camp.
What's the tipping point between getting an iPad2 and MacBook (Pro or Air) given that there's a perfectly fine desktop system elsewhere in the house? The computing power is not the guiding factor it's mobility and app choice. I think it all boils down to: how easy is it to type on an iPad?
I need to spend an hour or two at the Apple Store playing with all the gadgets, but I'd like to hear some user comments too.

Mac Mini Thunderbolt 1920x1080

I've got a Acer x243H Monitor. I put it in my Mac Mini with a thunderbolt adapter, But it can reach the resolution of 1920x1080. I've got two black lines on the left and the right.. Who can help me?
Kind regards,
Collin

When ypu say that it can't reach 1920x1080, do you mean
it is not a selection in System Preferences->Display or is
it that the monitor is just not diplaying properly?
I don't know what it is called in Acer monitors, but every
monitor/TV usually has a menu item somewhere to force
the monitor to fit the incoming image to the screen. Try
to find this function in your monitor's set up menus and
enable it.
If you can't select 1920x1080 from the mini, then that is something
different.

SSD Drive schedules for 2007 Mac Mini @ GHz Core 2 Duo

I have put a 240 Gig Crucial SSD in this computer and there was a very prominent bump in usability ie no pageouts .
I have a 480 Gig SanDisk Extreme II and was wondering how sensible it would be to put it into the Mac Mini . SanDisk has a limited viability schedule posted . I thought SanDisk would have a bit better prepared catalog to view these particulars , and I thought wrong .
Any expertise here would be appreciated to limit my fooling around with the Mac Mini , I had to go back and forth a bit to get stuff I overlooked .
Thanks in advance ! FRP

   In observing the present compatability of the Mid 2007 Mac Mini Intel carrying a Serial ATA (1.5 Gb/s limit , divining just what inhibitions the speedier quality of those routine functions may be prohibited from employing a 6Gb/s SSD over a standard Disk Drive is less straightforward than an ordinary binary matter might , or might not be .
   Having made the observations subsequent to my request for suggestions supporting what an experienced hand might venture I am very satisfied regarding the related efforts here .
   There may be some grist for the thought mill here though . There may be enough to offer some amusement in distinguishing between a computers harddrive , and external accessories USB 2 , Firewire , etc .
   The $14 USB 2 caddy I thought was going to carry the old disk drive to be the backup for the new 240 GB Crucial SSD . I did not pay attention to details concerning performance as I trusted the Crucial site's advice , and only worried about prying open the old Mini . The SSD drive worked so well that I went to Microcenter to purchase another drive for the caddy . That is where I discovered that the Crucial worked as a SSD hard drive , but was useless as an external device on the "old" Mac Mini . Returning the original Disk drive to the Mini made it apparent when the MacBook Pro was able to read the caddied Crucial SSD , and the old Mini wasn't .
   I now have the Crucial in the caddy , the SanDisk in the Mini . A pretty good extentsion of the Mac Mini's usefulness , the pageouts are unmissed . The Crucial will reside within the Mac Book Pro giving both computer and spousal college curriculum Window dependent papers a boost as well .
    I don't know why the SSD is working well in the Mini but fails as a external drive , but that is fine . I would have liked to have put all the Mini's CPU's on SSD .

Store Photos on external LaCie hard drive vs. Mac Mini?

I have a Mac Mini purchased in 2006 and a LaCie external hard drive. The combination was bought primarily for video editing. Now I am considering transferring a large number of jpeg photos from my PC. I have been told that it is better to put them on the Mac Mini rather than the LaCie. Any comments?

If you have a lot of them you would probably be better off storing them on the external drive.
However, no matter where they physically reside, don't forget to have two or three backups just in case of a catastrophe.

My Mac Mini shuts off when I try to wake it up

Whenever I put my brand new Mac Mini to sleep, then push any key on the keyboard to wake it up, the pulsing green light turns off. Then I can't even start it up when I press the power button. I need to unplug the Mac and plug it back in, then I can press the power button to start it up. I just set it up yesterday and it worked fine, but tonight I can't wake it up. Did I change a setting by mistake?

I have the same Problem, Reported here:

This bug is a Problem with external Powered USB-HUBs.
Try it, unplug your USB-Hubs than the new MacMini wake up from sleeping.
At the moment, there are no fix available

I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini. I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk. I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini. I want to open them up and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your quick response. I should add....it worked before. When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac. Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed. I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD. SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously. I do not remember changing any settings since then.
When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc. The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents. I just want to be able to see them in the finder. I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents. Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.
Any additional advice?
Thank you!

How much ram should i put in my mac mini mid-2011?

Hello, so i have a mid-2011 mac mini intel i5 2.3GHz with 2gb of ram and sometimes its kind of slow.. I've searched on OWC for ram and found 4gb (2x2gb) for about 58$ and 8gb (2x4gb) for 105$. I am an high school student that does a lot of pages documents, garageband and imovie projects, iphoto editing and i sometimes use xcode. Should 4gb of ram be sufficient or it would be better if i had 8gb? Well, i know that more ram is always better, but would 4gb make a lot of difference from my 2gb?

You can get a 120GB Samsung SSD on Amazon for $90. Put your movies and music on an external drive since it doesn't matter how fast you read/write those. You can take your current internal drive and put it in an external enclosure for $15.
For the money, this will give you the biggest performance improvement.
But, if you still want to upgrade your RAM, you can go to the Activity Monitor app, Memory tab, and look at "Swap used" in the lower left corner. That will tell you how much data *would* be stored in memory if you upgraded. Check this number next time your computer is running slow. If it's 2GB or less, then you wouldn't benefit at all from > 4GB total memory. Currently I "only" have 4GB of memory in my Mac Mini and I'm running a bunch of stuff and I'm using zero swap, so I would get literally no benefit from more RAM.
