Why can't iMovie 09 open a project created in an earlier version of iMovie?

I recently bought a new (intel) iMac with iMovie 09 to replace our old (PowerPC) iMac G5. I had created several movie projects in iMovie on the old iMac, but these are apparently unreadable on the new one. I presume this may have something to do with the switch to intel - but is there any way I can import the files?
The files contain slideshows of still photos with music and some video mixed in - and I'd like to update them with newer material, so importing the entire file as a quicktime movie or something like that would not really help...

YOU SAY - AppleMan1958: iMovie will import video from old projects, but not photos.
Perhaps - but how? I cannot open project from 08, have read many forum posts from others with the same goal ...that have been unable to import/open previous projects. Please share some tips (or secrets!) that can help.

How can find what are the customers are created in my earlier version.

Hi all,I am trying to find out how can I check the what are the customers are created in my earlier version of sap (i.e 4.7B)
My client Upgrade d the 5.0 in 2007. Now my client asking, list of WDs which are created in the 4.7B.

Hi,
You know when the SAP went live with the new version.
In t.code SE16, enter table name KNA1.
In the field created on put value of new SAP version go-live date and select a < symbol by double clicking the field. Then click on execute button, the system will provide the customer master created before the new version go-live date.

Why can't I edit/open my project in iMovie?

I was editing a video (that I had already edited down to 8 minute in length) and decided to change the speed of one of my clips. After doing this, the little scrolly thing that moves as you move it across the clips (I don't know what that's called. The mouse, I guess!) didn't show up. So I quit iMovie, opened it back up again, and the project is no longer able to be edited or even opened, unless I change the name of it.
I have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it, and I really don't want to start over on editing the originally 1 hour+ long video. Can someone help?

Hi Anup,
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your ZTE Open C device updates. I experienced this same issue in a ZTE Open C device in the past.
During that time, I opened a bug to track this issue:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1036758 Bug 1036758]
Unfortunately, ZTE creates device-specific builds, and there is not much that Mozilla can do to resolve this issue directly. You should contact the support channels for ZTE directly, so that they may investigate and suggest possible solutions for this case.
For tracking purposes, can you please specify the version number and Build ID for your device, and where your device was purchased?

How do I open a pdf created in an earlier version of indesign?

I created a bunch of .pdf's in an older version of Indesign (about 2 years ago) and the new version will not open them. Should I be using a different Adobe product to edit the .pdfs They are fill in the blank forms for use in the office.
thx
David

The process it you create the forms in InDesign (CS6/CC), with enabled fields; export it to PDF interactive; you can then fine tune the PDF in Acrobat Pro, then you enable the form so that users can enter data on the form, save it, email it, or print it out. Once the form is enabled to allow users to be able to enter data, it can't be changed. You should always keep a copy of the original InDesign/ Acrobat form.

Why can't other computers open my photos from Iphoto or down load them? they don't show up as an icon.

Why can't other computers open and/or download my photos when I email themfrom IPhoto? Have also tried making it a separate file on my desk; to no avail.
It shows as an icon and jpeg when it goes out from my computer but they can't download it.
They might see the photo imbedded in the emil but it doesn't appear as a downloadable icon.
Thank you for your help.

I think I can help. I use Mac but my secretary uses PC.
Make a file on your desktop and name it "test"
Go to iPhoto and click on a photo to send to this folder
Go to file and choose "export"
Pop up window - Kind: jpeg
quality: maximum
size: full
click on export and choose the "test" folder you created on the desktop.
You can now send any jpeg that you put in this folder from an email account by "attaching file" from within the email. If you have more than one jpeg, right click on the folder and choose "compress file"

You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Why can't iMovie on iOS create portrait movies?

If I take a video on my iPhone in portrait mode and then import it into iMovie for editing, iMovie always crops it.
Why can't iMovie on iOS create portrait videos?

I don't know why, as we are all users here no one will really know why.
I assume it's because TVs only play wide video.
But if you really want to see it in future I suggest you tell Apple:

If enough peoploe ask they will change it.

Why can't I get open type features to work properly with an open type font on InDesign CS5.5?

I installed a very complete set of styles of an opentype font with Font Book – Mac OS X 10.9.4 – but when I tried to format a sample text on InDesign CS5.5 I noticed that I could not use the opentype features on the Open Type menu as I usually do.
Could anyone help me, please?

It's ffScala Sans, but has separate files for small caps, figures, etc.
I was trying to use small caps, lining figures and superscripts when I
noticed none of the OT features are available.

They should be able to. Does it have the jpg suffix on it? Select it and press Command i (Get Info) to make sure it really is a jpg.

Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....
