Re-installing iMovie 08, how?

Please help: my iMovie, installed via Leopard dvd, does not work properly and shows a music&sounds menu bar basically different from the one showed in the training movies published by Apple. Well no one seems to be able to help me about this bug so I decided to re-install iMovie from the dvd sent to me by Apple after having bought my new iMac, but i cannot find it on the dvd. The dvd is called upgrade wen i put it in my driver. How can I solve this problem please? THNX

Recently I installed iMovie 06 on my new iMac, because I didn't like the new iMovie 08. Basically because one cannot make chapters. iMovie 06 help isn't working and iDVD doesn't work too; iDVD was installed together with iMovie 06, there was no option.
In short, I am in the same boat; I want to have iMovie 08 and iDVD 08 reinstalled. Better not so good programs than buggy or not working programs.
My new iMac came with Tiger and an upgrade DVD with Leopard. I installed Leopard and everything worked fine, until I mixed up with the iLife programs. The upgrade DVD will only install and upgrade the system with all the tools and bells. However, I already made an update to 10.5.1, so I can only made a complete reinstall ... back to 10.5.0.
Another option is to buy iLife 08 and install the (not so good) software from the DVD/CD. Probably, I will wait and look for a friend who has iLife 08 and borrow it. I don't like this behavior, I can say the 99% of my software are legally purchased copies, anyway, I do have paid for the stuff, every dime.

  • How do I install iMovie on my iMac?

    I recently bought a new iMac computer.  I own a MacBook Pro and purchased iMovie and about three other apps on this device.  When I tried to sync all of my apps to the new iMac I noticed that iMovie (and the three or so other apps I bought on my MacBook Pro) does not appear in my iTunes library.  Also, when i go to the apps store to search for iMovie, it states that it's already 'installed' and won't let me select it.
    My question: How do I install iMovie (which I've already purchased) on my iMac when it doesn't appear in my iTunes library?
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I tried to redownload the app - but was not given that option.  When I search and find the app in the app store, it states that the app has been installed and won't let me select it for download.

    How can I re-install Imovie 10? some features are not available ( world globes ,etc...) after the update from today

    I'd suggest a fresh reinstall of iMovie then. Delete the Application and re-download from the Mac App Store. You should see something like this:

  • How do I install iMovie HD and iDVD on a new iMac?

    I have a new iMac, running 10.9.3.
    I want to install iMovie HD and iDVD on this iMac.
    I have the old install disks.
    How should I proceed?
    Thank you,
    Hal

    The improvements provided by iDVD 7 over version 6 are not confined to themes.
    Happily having two version of iMovie is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
    Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Then reinstall iMovie 11.
    iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.

  • How do i install iMovie 6 onto my new imac with iLife 8?

    I have a new imac with iLife 8 installed with Leopard.
    I can't get used to the new iMovie 8 and want to instal iMovie 6 (which i am used to and find great).
    Can anyone recommend how i can do this?
    I don't want to change the other iLife apps, only iMovie 6.
    Also the new imac is not at home and not connected to the internet, is there anyway i can do this without being online? can i download a DMG on a different mac and instal on the new one?
    Thanks very much

    .. is there any risk involved?
    no.
    follow advice given here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2281
    basicly: think twice before setting any checkboxes and hitting any 'install' button
    I would try the installer disks of your G5.. probably contains iMHD6 ..

    How do I re install iMovie
    I'm using iMac i5 8GB
    iMovie was working well but recently it fails to share movie to file.
    I thought I'd try to reinstall it but App store just says "installed" even if I put iMovie in trash before trying to in stall.
    Any advice would be welcome

    Thanks for that Adrian.
    iLife - and therefore imovie, iphoto etc is not supplied with 10.4.
    Go figure!
    That'd slipped my mind, sorry. The additional software that came with your iBook including iLife will all be on the supplied 10.3 disks though, albeit, obviously, the versions that were current at the time.
    I'd still ask for 10.4 disk though.
    Good luck,

  • How do I install iMovie '06 on my iMac?

    I have the original iLife '06 and am having a problem installing iMovie '06 on my iMac 3.06, 2GB, running Mac OSX 10.5.8. I thought I had installed it, but when I booted it, this message popped up. "You cannot open the application “iMovie HD” because it is not supported on this architecture". I tried to install it again, using the "custom" install, but the name is gray and it cannot be selected. Could someone state the step by step installation instructions. I must be missing something.
    Thanks, Rick

    I tried the easy way as suggested by Silly rabbit and installed iMovie '06, but it altered iDVD, and now iDVD will not launch. The way I did it was: 1. booted the iLife '06 installation disk; 2. Moved iMovie '09 and iMovie '08 to the desktop; 3. Selected iMovie '06 from the "Custom" install option; 4. and clicked "Install". While iMovie '06 installing, I saw the iDVD icon flash a few times. After installation, I moved iMovie '09 and '08 back into the application folder and all three iMovie programs booted up, but iDVD did not. Help!

  • How do I install iMovie 11 on Mavericks?

    I have a new, late model iMac, which is a great machine, but the new iMovie 10 does not have chapter markers. I would like to install iMovie 11(which does have chapter markers)  in a folder within the appications folder. When I try to install the program, however, iMovie is grayed out and I can not install it. Is there a way to install it on an iMac running Mavericks?

    Pacifist worked great! It is shareware, and the author requests a 20.00 donation. I was able to use Pacifist to extract iMovie 11 (version 9.0) from my old iLife disc and install it to a folder that I created in my applications. I opened iMovie and it works perfectly, but I of course tried to run update, and was able to download iMovie 9.0.9 (the latest update), but it would not install. I got an error message saying, "You already have the lateset version of iMovie installed."(iMovie 10 (version 13)) Needless to say I just turned back to Pacifist and extracted the .pkg into the same iMovie folder I created. I was able to open the updated iMovie 9.0.9 and then just dropped the "old" 9.0 into the trash. Thanks for the great tip.

  • Can I install iMovie 5 on an Intel mac?

    Hello. I recently got a new Mac which came with iMovie 09 installed. If possible........I would like to also install iMovie 5 on the same machine (as I have lots of 3rd party effects with that version). So I'm wondering is this possible and how do I do it? I have my old install discs (1 and 2) for OS 10.2 and 10.4 ........I'm not sure which disk contains the iMovie 5 App. and how I would go about just installing iMovie 5 without the other iApps? Would there be any conflict in having the 2 iMovie Apps installed on the same Mac? Thanks for any help.

    Okay, this is odd. I have Snow Leopard which came with my newest iMac Intel desktop I purchased about six months ago. When I bought it, I imported all of my old programs from my old Mac which ran on the Tiger OS, including iMovie 5. I have been using iMovie 5 on snow leopard with NO PROBLEM for the last six months to edit and save footage, since I hate the new iMovie 09 and find it completely user unfriendly.
    However, today I was editing all afternoon, no issue, and then this evening I opened my project to start working, edited one transition and the program turned into a white screen and shut down. Now I can't open any imovie files on it. I tried deleting and importing the program again as I had originally, and it still won't load. What gives? How did it run perfectly for months and finally implode?
    I did run a software update yesterday, but I edited without issue for roughly five hours after that. I was only about an hour away from finishing my project, and now I can't even open it! Any ideas?
    I've heard there is a program called Rosetta - which was not installed when I bought the system but apparently is on the discs? - which can run some of the old programs. Would installing this solve the issue?

  • Instaling imovie 06 in computer with Mac Os 10.4.11

    I had Mac Os 10.3.9 in my computer when the hard drive died. I had Apple Care so they replaced the hard drive, BUT they installed Mac Os 10.4.11 (probably a confusion). This happened in September 2009 and I decided to try the free upgrade I got (of course, I have no access to the instalation CDs of the iLife 08). Time passed and since I did not use the iMovie for a while, I did not look into the 08 version. Only much later, when I tried to use it, I noticed the big change... well, all of you know the complaints about the iMovie 08, however, there are a few features in it which I would like to still have access to.
    Here is my wish: I would like to install the iMovie 06 from the original instalation CD that came with my Mac without erasing the iMovie 08. (Unfortunately, It seems that I missed the free download offer of the iMovie 06.0.4 for iLife 08 users.)
    I have not yet found clear instructions on how to do that safely, whithout having iMovie 08 overwritten. I also read that when some people did that, the iDVD 08 was not working anymore. As I do not have the instalation CD for iLife 08, I am afraid of loosing what I have.
    Could someone be so kind to post clear directions (please, for someone not so savy with complicated instalations) on how to safely download iMovie 06 from the original instalation CD, including where/how exactly to save the file, where I would find the iMovie 08 folder which I would have to change the name so that it is not erased (if I have to do that), plus all the safety procedures to do it right? (or please tell me if/how I still can get the iMovie 06.0.4...)
    Any help will be deeply appreciated!

    Move iMovie '08 from the Applications folder to your Desktop. Do the same with GarageBand, iPhoto and iDVD as they are all part of iLife '08 just to be sure you don't overwrite them, too.
    Install iMovie only (if possible) from the iLife '06 DVD.
    Run Software Update to get it up to 6.0.3. 6.0.3 and 6.0.4 are identical (just different version numbers).
    Remove any apps that may have been installed in error (iDVD, GarageBand and iPhoto) by dragging them to the Trash.
    Make a new folder named "iMovie (previous version)" in the Applications folder and drag iMovie '06 into it.
    Drag the other iLife '08 apps back into the Applications folder.

  • I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

    I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

    Unfortunately, as recommended by the lady from CA, as long as the Mac is still associated with the Apple ID of the original owner, you can't even buy those iLife apps with that Mac. You will always get the alert to download them with the original owner's Apple ID.
    As suggested by the chavo from España, you need the original owner to contact Apple Care* and request that the OS and the iLife apps be disassociated from his Apple ID. Then you should be free to OS X Recovery to resinstall the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac and install the iLife apps. Afterward, before using any of the iLife apps you need to open the Mac App Store (MAS) to the Purchases pane and Accept these apps into your MAS account's Apple ID. If you use any of the iLife apps before you have accepted them into your account, as per the app's Terms of Use, they all become one-trick-ponies that can not be downloaded onto another Mac or updated.
    OS X Recovery -

    *If you bought the Mac from a 2nd hand shop and don't have access to the original owner, you may need to provide Apple a purchase receipt to offer proof of sale.

  • Install imovie ios 5.1.1

    Dear Community,
    I am really lost in this case. Prior to the iOS 6 update I have bought iMovie for the iPhone. I unsinstalled it, because I hadn't used it for some time. Now I urgently need it and cannot reinstall it as the new iMovie 1.4 is restricted to iOS 6. But I do not want to update to iOS 6! What to do? I'd accept installing the previous version of iMovie, but how?
    I would appreciate quick help, as I want to edit a movie for my studies, and it's due in 5 days!
    Thank you,
    Kind regards,
    Alex

    actually thats a bit harsh, way i did it was 'rhymes with rail' break mine and then find the older version to download from a non appstore site.
    you should not be forced to download the newer version when you paid and installed an older version.
    the only other way i can see you doing it is if you have syched your phone with itunes and the older version is still on your pc and you haven't used itunes to update software. if thats the case, just reinstall from itunes and not the appstore.

  • Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

    I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
    I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully.   However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6.   In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
    When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I understand that iMovie HD  is universal, not PowerPC.  How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
    Thanks

    OK, I made some progress.
    I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
    But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

  • Can  I re-install imovie without loosing video library?

    Currently I can only import 3 video clips at a time. Any more than this, freezes the entire computer. I re-installed imovie on a different drive just to test the results of a fresh install. I was able to import a large number of clips without any problems, on the drive with the new install. This tells me that a new install should fix my current problem.
    The question is, how do I do it without loosing my current iMovie video library?

    Well, quit iMovie, trashed the playlist and relaunched. There were two; com.apple.iMovie7.plist, and com.apple.iMovie.plist. I attempted to import a dozen clips, and the computer froze as before.
    The clips I'm importing were originally dragged from the cameras hard drive to a desk top folder, because my iMovie06 didn't recognize the Sonny HDD camera, so at the advice of Sonny, I saved the files from the camera to the desktop folder, so I could deal with the files later, and not loose them completely.
    I then installed iMovie08, and attempted to import the MPEG2 files from the desk top. They were grayed out, so I couldn't import them. I then dragged the files back to the camera hard drive and attempted to import them. This is when this particular problem started. I have a feeling that iMovie just doesn't like these MPEG2 movie files after being dragged to the desk top and back to the camera again for import.
    The three at a time import method, though irritating, is a work around to this problem, I discovered.
    So I guess when I'm through importing these "problem files", in three's, I'll try "reseting the app. again as you suggested, and see if I can import the MPEG2 files directly from the camera, as it's meant to be done.
