Why can't I purchase imovie 2011?

I'm trying to find a simple movie editor ( not expensive ) and my imovie is from 2008 which lacks the slow motion effect I need. I simply just wanted to purchase the most recent imovie but it said I had to have mac OSX 10.7.4  or higher... This is really frustrating. I have a project at school and all I need is to simply slow down my movie! I'm totally willing to buy (since I can not find a free or other cheap movie editor anywhere) can someone please help me? Is my mac really too old ... I just recently got snow leapord on it and it's been working beautifuly. My macbook pro is from 2008.

I'm really not sure if I am on the list or not. I'm on a macbook pro from early 2008. That is all I know, again this isn't my normal laptop.
Then why not go out and buy a notebook that you are more familar with and theat you can install the programs you are use to.
Have you run Software Update on the Mac? It may allow you get get a newer version of iMovie that may have the feature you are looking for.
Personally I would not put any money into that 2008 Mac as all of them have a faulty graphic chip in them and will die at some point.
MacBook Pro: NVidia Failure
So take whatever money you may spend on software for that Mac and buy something that will work for you.

    Why can't I purchase my entire wish list anymore?

    You can't buy it all at once, if that's what you mean. Apple for some unexplained reason removed the "Buy All" option a while back. Perhaps they'll put it back in a future update; it's a subject that certainly has been brought up a number of times in these forums.

  • Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

    I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:

    If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery
    Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message:  The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open. 
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
    *****   Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

  • Why?  Why can't I run iMovie and have it

    Why? Why can't I run iMovie and have it ask me whether I want to load an existing project or new one? I don't see a setting for this in Preferences.
    thanks

    I haven't gone to the trouble of actually testing to see which uses more CPU power, but Firefox has been faster than Safari on every Mac I've ever owned.
    To see CPU usage by process, open the terminal (in Utilities) and enter 'top' at the command line. You might have to expand the window as processes don't appear in any logical order.
    It could also be hardware-related: I have late 2009 mini with similar specs and it pinwheels easily.

  • Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

    Why can't I purchase movies on my iPad? When I hit buy it doesn't download.

    Ok. That's strange.  The download should show up immediately in the lower right.  Even if it is stuck, you will se the red number.  So something is blocking the purchase.  Take a look at setting, restrictions, and see if something there is turned on that might be blocking you.

  • HT5622 Why can't I purchase after I update my payment detail?

    Why can't I purchase after I update my payment detail?

    My first suggestion would be to double check and make sure that the changes were saved in the payment information area of your account, to back and check to be sure.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID> Tap your ID. Then Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password and go to Payment Information and check. Check the expiration date, biling address, security code, etc. and then save your changes.
    If everything is done successfully, you will get an email from Apple notifying you that they received changes to your account and if these changes were not made by you... Etc, etc. When you get that email, you know that the changes have been confirmed.
