Start Using iMovie 10.0.7 With New/Empty Library?

I've just upgraded to Yosemite, so now I have iMovie 10.0.7, in addition to iMovie 9.0.9 which is still in my Applications folder.
Is there a way for me to start using iMovie 10.0.7 with a totally new/empty Library, and not have to deal with seeing/converting my old iMovie 9.0.9 Events & Projects, for now?
If I start using iMovie 10.0.7 with a totally new/empty Library, will it be possible in the future to convert all my old iMovie 9.0.9 Events & Projects, bringing them into iMovie 10.0.7 when I'm ready (have time)?
Thanks.

That's great. Exactly what I was hoping to hear.
So it's simply a matter of clicking on Update Later when i first open iMovie 10.0.7. Easy. I wanted to check first, because when I opened the new Photos app for the first time, it started migrating/updating my old iPhoto library, without asking me first.
I found a related article, from Apple, for anyone with a similar question to mine:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support

Why won't my iPod sync with new, empty library?

Had some problems with my laptop and had to reformat hard disk. Stupidly, didn't back up iTunes library. All the songs are still on the iPod but I can't download them to iTunes. Error message says iPod cannot sync with this library becasue it is set up to sync with another library (I assume that's the one I erased). Is there any way to download the songs on my iPod into a library on my laptop? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message so I must import messages first in order to use mail 4.5. Just recently put in MAC OSX 10.6.7. Once it imports click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel? Now What?

Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message that says in order to use the new features, I must import existing messages into the new version first in order to use mail 4.5.

Once it imports I am to click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel of death and it also says you cannot use mail until the import is finished? Now What?

Is Mail still "spinning"? If it's been doing that for a while, I'd kill it, using either Activity Monitor or the OS X application picker. Then relaunch Mail and see what happens.
Two "by the ways":
1) Your system details mention an PPC iMac. Since a non-Intel Mac can't run OS X 10.6, you seem to have another Mac. You might want to consider updating your system details.
2) You seem to have been misled by the poor labeling of the message composition fields on this forum into trying to enter your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just enter a summary of your post there and the main text into the field below it.

Issues with using the output redirection character with newer NXOS versions?

Simply copying a file from bootflash to tftp is ok.
This occurs for both 3CDaemon and Tftpd32 softwares.

Any known bugs?

Please check with new version of TFTPD 32 server. The error may be due to older version of TFPT server, the new version available solved this error. Files are getting uploaded with no issues.
1. Download tftpd32b.zip from:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
2. Copy the tftpd32b.zip file into an empty directory and extract it.
3. Copy the file you want to transver into the directory containing tftpd32.exe.
4. Run tftpd32.exe from that directory. The "Base Directory" field should show the path to the directory containing the file you want to transfer.
At this point, the tftpserver is ready to begin serving files. As devices request files, the main tftpd32 window will log the requests.
Best Regards...

How can I start using IPad without first syncing with my computer?

I'm out of town and just bought a new IPad2. I don't have my computer with me and won't be able to use it for another 2 weeks. How can I start using my IPad before syncing with my computer?

You must activate it by syncing it to iTunes on a computer. An Apple Store can do it for you - or anybody with a computer that meets the minimum requirements and has iTunes 10.2 on it can activate it for you.
If you have someone else activate it, bear in mind that when you do finally sync to your computer, iTunes is going to tell you that all content will be erased because you already set it up on another computer with another iTunes library. Your iPad will sync to one iTunes library only. That is way they are designed to perform.
You CAN transfer any purchases that you make on the iPad to your iTunes library when you perform your first sync with your own computer, however, and I would strongly suggest that you do that when you get the chance.
If you do set it up with another computer, I would keep the purchases and downloads to a minimum so that keeping all of your data is not a big problem when you finally sync to your own PC.

I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2. or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello All,
Also no answer but am having the same problem. All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface. It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

Hi
Yes and no.
You can't get an editable material over from one to the other.
eg a misspelled word in iMovie project can't be corrected in FCE/P any version.
I use iMovie combined with FCE/P in just one case when there are to many drop outs
on the raw material eg recorded in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape)
Then iMovie can import in a more forgiving way.
BUT
When this material is moved over to FCE/P the audio parts needs to be rendered
not just one time but whenever any change is done. A very nearv-wrecking and tedious
procedure.
Summary. Joint project should use same platform. In my cases me and friend has
each one full version of FCE4 and an external hard disk that contain the movie
project.
This we exchange with each other to do each the parts that we are on best to do.
Yours Bengt W

TS1717 when trying to open itunes red x box opens with "new itunes library". No options provided

when trying to open itunes red x box opens with "new itunes library". No options provided

Sorry reply is only to say "ditto" except for iPod involvement. I can't repair iTunes, can't access it when in programs/features
Any other suggestions out there? I tried reinstall, no difference. Had latest version anyway. Only thing different I did the last time I was able to get into iTunes was listen to radio streams. ??????

Aperture keeps creating a new empty library in my Pictures folder

Hi, I am a noob with Aperture, so forgive me if this seems like a stupid question. I have searched through the manual, threads here and Apples help pages but have not found my problem described or my question addressed.
First the problem:
I have set preferences in Aperture to set up and point to the Library on my External Firewire Drive. I exited as instructed and went back in the program and my new library came up without issue. I was able to import files from camera, iphoto, and some from files relatively easily and created new projects for them w/o much trouble. I closed the program and did not use it until the next day.
When I opened the Aperture from the dock the next day, a BLANK library greeted me pointing to my picture folder of my Mac user account. Sure enough I opened my pictures folder under my user account on the finder and there is a brand new Aperture library without any files in it. I checked my Firewire hard drive and (thankfully) the Aperture library I created there is still intact. When I clicked on the aperture library icon in my firewire drive, the program opened with my library listed. I then closed it, opened Aperture from the dock again and it opened to my firewire's drive library again...
So now I'm thinking this must have been a weird glitch. I deleted the Aperture library in my pictures folder on my user account and thought that would be that as the program continued to perform well all day...opening my created library when I opened from the dock each time...
Then, again the next day, I open Aperture and am greeted with a blank library...again pointing at my picture folder in my user account...sure enough the Aperture library icon is back in my pictures folder!
Does anybody know why this keeps happening. I want the default library to be the one I created on my firewire drive, but it keeps creating a new empty library in my user account picture folder, and defaulting to that when starting the program from the dock.
I am the only user account on this computer and the only person using the Aperture program.
Short of creating a desktop shortcut to my wanted firewire drive library and starting Aperture that way, is there any other workaround...as the blank library in my pictures folder keeps coming back even if I delete it.
Now the question:
If I want to create 2 different Aperture libraries (not 2 projects, but 2 distinct libraries) on my firewire drive, is there any way to access one then switch to another within the main program without having to go all the way out and start up by selecting the icon from the wanted one to do so?
Thanks for your anticipated help and (hopefully) your patience with a noob user.

The setting is in Aperture-->Preferences. Just select the library you want to use, then exit the Prefs. Quit Aperture. Relaunch. It will use the library you selected.
If you double clicked on a library to open Aperture, it will make that setting in Prefs for you so the next time it should open that library again (assuming it's available at the time, not sleeping as externals often do).

Using Time Machine Backup Drive with NEW Macbook Pro

I just got a new Macbook Pro. I migrated from my old MacBook Pro. Now I want to use my Time Machine Disk with this new machine.
When I connect the external drive, and select back up now, it says there is not enough space (due to the fact this is a new machine and it wants to backup the entire thing)
Also, when I go into the TimeMachine, it doesn't show me anything past today. . . all of my backups are not displayed over the past year. . .
How do I make it so that the external drive displays all my old backups. . . ??
Thank you for your help.

Turn off TM or set the backup drive to null. Rename your computer in Sharing preferences to the same computer name of your old computer. Turn TM back on and reselect the backup drive. TM will behave as you expect. Of course if the file dates on the new machine are all changed since the migration, then TM will correctly assume that they require backing up. You will then find that there will not be sufficient space on the drive for the new backups. If this occurs then you should simply erase the backup drive and start your TM backup anew.

Can I use iMovie '11 instead of the new iMovie '13?

I really don't like the new iMovie program. It took me over a year to get used to iMovie '11 which came with my computer and I would rather just stick with that program and not use the new iMovie '13. Can I do this and if so how?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can do this. You should be able to find the iMovie 11 in a folder within your Applications folder. This folder is called iMovie 9.0.9. You should see the icon for iMovie in this folder. Drag it to your Dock, and you can use it like always.
