When upgrading an OS is it possible to retain an earlier version of iMovie?

my husband, a man who hates change, is still using OS10.6 on his iMac and loves iMovie6 .. recently he realized that in order to use a third party app for his video editing he will finally have to upgrade to OS10.8 .. will he be able to keep iMovie6 as well as the newer version of iMovie after he upgrades?   Thank you in advance for your help and for not laughing at him

Mac OS X upgrades don't remove anything, but you have to make a backup of your files before upgrading. Use Time Machine or Disk Utility's Restore feature.
iMovie 6 is compatible with Mountain Lion, so it will work after upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion. Check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

    Yrs,
    Unspeakably Frustrated

    Yes, you can do this. Drag the music track to the background and start adding your pictures. A great way to do this is to use beat markers so your photos will change on the beat.
    A really fast way to do this is to line up your photos in an iPhoto album in the order you want them. You can drag the whole album into iMovie at once.
    Here is a tutorial on the beat marker feature.
    Here is a sample of a slideshow made by dragging in the music first, adding beat markers, and then adding photos.

  • Is it possible to obtain an earlier version of iTunes?

    iTunes 6 WILL NOT RUN on my computer -- it's a new machine, running Windows XP. I've looked through these forums and tried the various pieces of advice, such as deleting and reinstalling iTunes (even re-downloading it), disabling virus protection (Norton, if it makes a difference), installing QuickTime separately, downloading a Windows installer clean-up, deleting a file (can't remember what it was called), and I can't recall what all else. Nothing happens. The iTunes install seems to work just fine, but when I try to run it, NOTHING. Literally. I get a brief flashing hourglass, then NOTHING HAPPENS. The only solution I can see is to obtain iTunes 5.something, which worked just fine for me. I don't give a flip about music video, etc.; I just want to be able to listen to the music that is on my computer, but can't be transferred to what is now a $400 paperweight !!!
    I purchased the iPod because Apple products are supposed to be reliable and easy to use. What gives????

    hi IrratedUser!
    The iTunes install seems to work just fine, but when I try to run it, NOTHING. Literally. I get a brief flashing hourglass, then NOTHING HAPPENS.
    yuck. one of the common causes of that kind of "error-less" launch failure (it's an unusually nasty kind of adware) is not cured by rolling back to an earlier version of itunes.
    so it might be wise to just check up on the two major possibilities that you haven't explicitly mentioned having checked.
    let's first make an observation. reboot the PC. open your Task Manager to the Processes tab. now try to launch your itunes again. does an itunes.exe process appear? if so, does it persist in Task Manager or disappear after a few seconds?
    if itunes.exe persists in Task Manager (and especially if you're running Norton Internet Security 2005, first see:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    ... but also see the Lorraine technique:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=810222&#810222
    (it's actually the firewall rather than the antivirus that causes this problem. in nasty cases, QT processes are also getting blocked, so even if you've got all itunes processes being permitted, the QT blockage ends up suppressing itunes launch en passant.)
    if itunes.exe disappears from Task Manager after a few seconds, first try the following technique:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    ... and post back to let us know the names of the startup items that you have to disable in order to get itunes to launch. (exact spelling please.)

  • Is it possible to retrieve an earlier version of a powerpoint presentation that has been over-written

    I accidentally overwrote a powerpoint presentation and need to get it back.  Does anyone know if it is possible?  thanks

    Ok. If I recall correctly, Powerpoint saves each new version using a temporary file name, then deletes the old version of the file and renames the temp file to the correct name.  This means that you have a chance that the old version might be recoverable.  You now need to Google "Mac file recovery" and see what tools you can find.
    IMPORTANT: As you continue to work on your MacBook you run the risk that some other file will overwrite the data you want from the disk. Everything you do from now increases the risk of this happening.
    Good luck

  • Possible to download an older version of iMovie?

    Or a free online program that'll let me edit video shot on my Canon PowerShot A620?  I have iMovie '11, and the oldest PowerShot it's compatible with is the A810.

    ooop I did not understand the question properly....
    so put the version that you have on your iDisk, and put it intto your public folder, and create/send the link to that folder on your .mac web page for everyone to download if needed.!
    simple!

  • Is it possible to download an earlier version of itunes. The newest version is not compatible with my operating system (I think).

  • When upgrading to Lion from SL, is it possible to grow the partition?

    The partition in which Snow Leopard resides needs to be larger.  Is it possible when upgrading to Lion to make it bigger?  Is there another way to grow the Snow Leopard partition w/o migrating to Lion?

    You have 4-5 internal drive bays.
    Extra drive sleds are also sold so you can swap out drives (powered down of course, no hot swap).
    Lion creates a recovery partition - and if you install Lion to its own drive it will be fine, then Setup Assistant will run on first restart and import your files.
    There are a few more things to look out for on Mac Pro generally, software, drivers, and hardware.
    As for using 20%,  200GB, what some people do is move all the non OS/Apps items to a 2nd media/data/user account hard drive. 
    Limiting the OS to the outer 25% insures reduced seeks and that it uses the outer faster tracks.
    If you use RAID, that is another concern.
    Software RAID on Lion, Broken Functionality
    SuperDuper will optimize your folders and such, but it won't copy a recovery partition.

    Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Yes.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
    When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
    Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.
    If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
    Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
    If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
    If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

  • Word graphics changes postion when upgrading from 2007 to 2013

    Hello,
    We have a large number of letters created in word 2007, with a first page header containing a logo. It is positioned on the page by giving xx cm absolute position relative/vertical to the page.
    When opening these documents in word 2013 the logo is still correctly positioned.
    However: When saving, (and Word asks to upgrade to latest format) - the logo moves a god 10 cm to the right and a bit down...Word is automatically checking the "layout in table cell" when upgrading to 2013 - and the option is
    greyed out and not possible to uncheck. (right click graphics, size and pos., size)
    Checking the positioning it still says correctly xx cm absolute to page, but the position is terribly wrong...
    Any tips greatly appreciated
    regards,
    Jon Gunnar Pettersen

    What was the format(extension) of the files created in Word 2007? What it was then after saving in 2013?
    Many elements may get lost if you saved the file with a different extension, you can verify this by saving these files on a different computer, as long as you have a backup of these files.
    So my opinion is to keep the format and don't upgrade.

  • When upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

    when upgrading to os x lion, will all my files stay in place or what?

    Yes of course, Apple knows a users files are valuable and won't just go deleting them .
    However, OS X upgrades can go bad due to unforeseen circumstances or special modifications people have done to their operating systems or even root level anti-virus installs like Norton.
    If the upgrade goes bad, your operating system can become "bricked", requiring a lot more effort to recover your files.
    Also third party programs like from Microsoft, Adobe and others may not be ready for OS X Lion, if you have any "mission critical" needs for the computer, it's best to wait several months, yes SEVERAL MONTHS, to make absolutely sure all the bugs are worked out of third party drivers, software, printers, scanners etc., and even OS X Lion itself.
    Always backup your valuable data, to write protected cd/dvd's if all possible for the reason that humans, even myself I just recently learned, can very very easily erase data on re-writable media like hard drives due to human error.
    TimeMachine is a somewhat ok image backup system, Carbon Copy Cloning of one's boot drive onto a external drive which is hold option bootable is great in case your hard drive dies, but for your most precious data, you really should be burning, labeling, dating and storing multiple cd/dvd's.

  • Runtime error when Upgrading from 8.81 pl05 to 8.81 pl08

    Hello experts,
    When upgrading 8.81 PL05 to 8.81 PL08, I encounter a runtime error concerning a Microsoft C++ Runtime Library. the text in the error box is "Runtime Error ! Program : D... R6025 -pure virtual function call. "
    This error occured after the database check, the server tools and the common data base upgrades have already succeded. So at the end of the  production database upgrade after each the databases have been upgraded, at the precise moment of Cost Center upgrades the upon descipted error occurs.
    What could be the origin of this error ? What should I do in order to upgrades in PL08 ?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Sébastien TABORE

    Hello
    I have the same issue and i would try with the possible solution but the link doesn´t exists anymore.
    I received the same Error  (Run Time Error program R-6025 pre virtual
    function call.) At the moment it appears only when i make a search e.g. for the todays Outgoing Payments (around 60 registers) on the OVPM table.
    But i'm affraid that could be appear more often or inside another transaction like invoices or sales order which are very important to us.

  • Maintaining user profiles when upgrading from v24 to newest version 36.X - Enterprise

    Hi,
    Im going to upgrade the Mozilla Firefox for about 500 users ish. The current version is 24.0 and we are upgrading to the newest version 36.0 something.
    But the question is, how do I maintain all of the user settings when doing this upgrade? It is not an option to upgrade using the application itself. We have a centralized Config Mgr 2012 R2 solution. And I need to keep all of the user profiles with bookmarks, saved passwords, etc etc as it is today. The current version they are using have a few restrictions made with predefined and locked prefs in forms of automatic update, homepage, disabling the send data to Mozilla and so on, basically all of the standard enterprise configuration when you want to controll how the browser is for the users.
    I've read a few articles on where to find spesific files, and what they are containting of information for the profile. But when doing a uninstall of the current version mozilla also removes whatever is stored in %appdata%\mozilla firefox\...profiles..
    Is it even possible to "transfer" profiles for Version 24 to the newest version 36.something? Also, this needs automation, its not an option to manually restore each profile from "backup" for about 500 users. All profiles are unique.
    Client computers are running Win 7 - 64bit OS.
    Best Regards

    To answer your question, when you update from 24 to 37 (the actual latest version) your profiles will migrate automatically, there should be no action needed on your part. We try to minimize profile breaking changes, so between versions 24 and 37 there is no need to do any special migration (that is only really a need when going from Firefox 3.6 or older to the latest version).
    HOWEVER, since you are an enterprise and it looks like you only do upgrades every so often, I'd suggest you look into Firefox for Enterprises. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
    This version only updates major versions once a year (so from Firefox 10 to 17, from 17 to 24, from 24 to 31, from 31 to 38) but it comes out with regular security updates every 6 weeks. This way you don't have to continually re-certify Firefox major versions every 6 weeks, and can simply let automatic updates push out security updates to your users every 6 weeks (With your current model your users are vulnerable to all security holes found until you push the next major update). Then, next year, you have a 12 week overlap between versions to test and make sure nothing breaks before you push to the next major version.
    There is also a mailing list for you to get help and advice with specific Enterprise issues.
    If you decide to go this route (which I would strongly advise) then I'd suggest you wait for a couple of weeks until Firefox 38 comes out, the next ESR version. Then you can certify and not have to worry about deployments until 45 next year!

  • Upgrade still running logon not possible

    Dear Experts,
    We've upgraded our erp server ecc 5.0 to ecc 6.0 ehp1 via option downtime minimized option, before downtime phase we ve taken an offline backup, after upgrade completed succesfully
    Now we have used this offline db backup for system copy to a new test system because customer want to save ecc 5.0 system too,
    When we try to logon system we are getting following error, we can logon system via sap* user ;
    upgrade still running logon not possible
    How can we reset this upgrade on this new test system,
    Best Regards

    Dear Atakan,
    Unlock the SAP-system at OS level with the following commands:                                                                               
    cd /<Upgrade-directory>/bin                                            
       ..exe/tp unlocksys <SAPSID> pf=<transport profile>                     
       ..exe/tp unlock_eu <SAPSID> pf=<transport profile>                     
    but if the copy system still is in the phase before downtime as this was when the backup was made, please following the upgrade guide section, resetting the prepare.
    Regards,
    Paul
