Updating IMovie 5.0.2 files to iMovie 09?

I have a file from iMovie 5.0.2 that when transferred to a Mac with Imovie 09 appears as a folder instead of a file. I tried dropping the folder in the events folder but it did not work.. any thoughts?

any Project from any version of iM is/was a folder ..
'til vers5, it was folders, as you know from Finder
from vers6 on, it's 'packages', to avoid that the internal file structure gets 'hurt' by the user ..
I wouldn't do this transfer.. +never upgrade in the middle of a project+
finish your project in iM5.
if you need the material of this project in your actual version of iM, choose in iM5 'Export Full Quality'; import this file into iM09 ..
or, if you need the 'raws' of that iM5 project, choose Import Files in iM09, click to your iM5 project, open the folder, open the folder Media inside - there're your raw .dv imports ...-

Actually it is easier than I thought. It is H264 but the wrapper is m4v. You can just change that in the finder to .mov and drop it into iDVD. iMovie will send it to iTunes so just right click on it in iTunes and select reveal in finder and then copy/paste to desktop and change to .mov. Then drag into iDVD. Really easy.

Update iMovie - Store wants to download full app, not an update package

I want to update iMove from 9.0.1 (purchased via the App Store) to 9.0.2 (because we are getting an audio sync problem on exported movies for which this update says it has a fix). From the web update page I downloaded the iMoview9.0.2Update.pkg and got a 27.5MB file but, on running it, it says I have to update via the App Store. But the App Store wants billing information and then starts to download a 500MB+ file which is presumably the full application so I immediately stopped the download because I am in a remote area on a low-speed satellite connection with a 3GB monthly limit.
Am I stuck with downloading the full 500MB+ file by going through the App Store? Was I about to be charged for the app again?
Thanks - Cathy.

It appears from my recent experience that updates are a full new version of the app in question. So after it verifies your account as the one who "owns" the license to use the app, it will not recharge you for the app, but will then allow its download. This is good for you because it means no one in your household can be willy nilly using your download allotment without your knowledge to update apps if they do not have access to your iTunes/MAS account information.
You may want to check the size of installed apps before proceeding with the update so as to stay within your download allotment in a given ISP billing period.

Cant update iMovie because of an error

Im using a Macbook Pro with Mavericks and I wanted to update iMovie and I cant because it says: "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." I tried to delete iMovie and download again but nothing works. Please help :/

I really want to update my iMovie, but I guess I need to update a lot of things first, which costs a lot of money. Is there any way I can just update iMovie and nothing else?

- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Updated iMovie at 3pm this afternoon. It's now 9pm and iMovie is still "Preparing media for share" (6 hrs).

Earlier today I installed Maverick. This afternoon I updated iMovie. For 6 hours it has been "Preparing media for share" and I cannot use the program. Any idea what's up?

Okay, I think I've got it solved. The stuck iMovie app may have been caused by a disk error or a corruption in the downloaded app, so here is how to troubleshoot it.
1. Run Apple Disk Utilities to repair any errors on your hard drive. Restart and hold the Command and R keys down, this will start the computer from the restore partition and you can run apple disk utilities. Select your hard drive and run both the "Repair" and "repair permissions" This will clear up any disk errors that might be locking the program.
2. Restart. Now the drive is fine but in my case the iMovie program still locked up "preparing media for share"
So we need to rebuild the iMovie 10 app. Notice when you go into your Applications folder, the iMove 9 is also there and should work fine as it always did before. We will just rebuild iMovie 10.
    a. From applications, Drag the iMovie.app to the trash.
    b. from the Movies folder, drag the iMovie Library.imovielibrary   file to the trash. This is the library iMovie 10 is building as it updates clips and projects.
   c. From the movies/iMovie Events folder remove the "UpdatedToiMovie10" file.
   d. From the movies/iMovie Projects folder remove the "UpdatedToiMovie10" file. (I added the word "projects" to the file name so I could retrieve it later and not be confused with the same named file from events)
   e. for good measure, right click on theiMovie alias in the dock and select remove from dock. This links to the deleted iMovie.app
We are ready to rebuild IMovie. For good measure I restart at this point to make sure the Finder knows i removed those files.
3. Select software update in the apple menu. It will run and tell you that there is an update to iMovie available. Click update and it will download and put it in the applications folder.
4. Run iMovie.app.   This time "Preparing media for share" will come up for only a few seconds and your app is responsive. Notice it shows no projects.
In the file menu, select "Update projetcs and events"
This will rebuild the library file and UpdatedToiMovie10" files.
It will take some time as you watch each project go through the update routine.
Now you should have a functioning iMovie 10 app with your iMovie 9 projects available.
I did experience a number of audio files that show up in iMovie 10 in red, meaning they did not convert properly. However, locating the audio file on the hard drive and dragging it into the iMovie project worked fine and I deleted the non-working red audio file.
I did experience a few clips that also did not make it from iMovie 9 and iDvd projects.
The good things is that you now have two side-byside iMovie apps and you can always go back and launch iMovie 9 and work on projects that did not make the cut.
This was a major rewrite of iMovie and updates are planned that may make this go smoother than it did for some of us early adopters.

Just updated iMovie today. What happened to the Ripple transition?

Just updated iMovie today. What happened to the Ripple transitions?

I had the same problem. After about and hour with Apple care and several different people, I was told Apple eliminated the Ripple transition as part of the 9.0.6 update. It's gone...no way to get it back in 9.0.6. I was just finishing a project that used a bunch of this transition, so I found a work around. I used Time Machine to revert back to the old version of iMovie (9.0.4). When asked if I wanted to replace or keep both files, I elected to keep both files. I now have a version of iMovie called iMovie (Original). That still has the Ripple effect. Seems to be working fine also. I can't image why Apple did this. I left feedback in the feedback forum. Recommend we all do it so they will place the Ripple back. This is the first time I've really used iMovie for a big project. I've discovered I'm probably better off with something like Final Cut or Adobe Elements. That's what I know. Hope it helps.

I keep getting the error message when trying to update iMovie There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)" Does anyone know how to fix it?

If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
open the Terminal application.
copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
followed by Enter.
launch App Store, login.
2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
3 - try again.

Can't update iMovie or iPhoto, says that I need to use a different apple ID

I got my iMac quite a few months ago, and ever since then my iMovie and iPhoto has refused to update, now it even won't let me download my "iBooks Author" app. My iMac was bought used, but an employee at the apple store gave it a new "brain" after that and also made the iMac have the same features as the iMac one bigger in size. The specific alert that comes up when I try to update iMovie and iPhoto is: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled". I have talked to the friend/employee about this problem and the only way he could think of was to get a hold of apple and allow them to access my computer remotely to try and fix it. BUT- I really don't want strangers going onto my computer to be honest. So I was wondering, is there another way I could fix this myself? I have tried to use 2 of my apple IDs to update it but neither work. And it would be really good if I could update soon because ever since I got the new mavericks update it isn't letting me use iPhoto 'till I update it again, because apparently this version doesn't support the old iPhoto. I really need to update so I can download photos onto my computer again!!! Hopefully all my photos are not gone, I have never got to back them up yet! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc. from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
(It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

Not unless you start by telling us what the error messages say...

How do I update iMovie and iPhoto? it tells me "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

I have been trying to update imovie and iphoto but i keep getting the same message and dont know how to go about it. Help please!

You obviously haven't bothered to read the software license agreement that covers iPhoto.
It states exactly what I have been explaining to folks that you now come along and contradict;
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iPhoto.pdf (underlining mine)
B. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled by Apple on Apple-branded hardware, in order to use the Apple Software on more than one of the Apple-branded computers you own or control under the Mac App Store Product Usage Rules, you must log in to the Mac App Store and associate the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account. If you choose not to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you are permitted to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time. Please also note that by choosing to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you will also associate any other Apple software applications (i.e., iMovie and GarageBand) that are provided to you as part of the same preinstalled application bundle.
You have been lucky, because they realized that you were not intelligent enough to work with logically or to understand the license agreement, the Apple employees likely gave you these redemption codes to get rid of you. I seriously doubt that Apple is going to make a policy and give every user redemtion codes because they fail to read the terms of use and fail to associate their iLfe apps to their Apple ID correctly.
There is no bug. It works this way by design.

I am not able to update iMovie to my macbook pro late 2011 which came bundled with it.

It shows that imovie update is available in the update tab, but it doesn't show in the purchased tab. iLife '11 came bundled with my Macbook Pro but when I try to update iMovie, it tells me to sign in with the apple id that I purchased it with. I have no other apple ID. Sometimes it tells me that I had to have purchased it from the app store first before I can update it. What's the solution to this problem, please. iPhoto updated with no problem. There was no update for Garage Band so I don't know if that will be a problem when an update is available. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply but that didn't work for me. The trouble was imovie wasn't showing up in my purchases even though it was saying I needed an update because it was installed on my computer. I finally contacted the itunes app store. I was told that the imovie app shows up as a purchase for my apple ID. I had to delete it from my applications folder, then repurchase it. That worked. Apple refunded the money to my card once I provided the order number to them. All is well, now.

Updated iMovie on my brand new mac mini and lost "SPEED" function.

Hello bbryson68, I'm sure you've just over-looked it.
The answer is to click on Adjust above the Clip in Viewer, this will bring into view a adjustments bar also above the Clip.
Now you just have to select the speed via the Turtle icon. Once the clip has been speed-up or down, you'll get a Slider
over the clip in question & a Rabbit icon indicating the clip has been speed-up.
If you want to keep audio undistorted check the Preserve Pitch checkbox above the viewer.
The Clip Slider & icon of Rabbit appear in the Clip-Trimer window below the main Clip, also check your Pref's to see if you have
Apply Slow Motion checked? This will slow or speed up all other clips to the first clip.
