Why two versions of iMovie in my Mac?

Hi,
after the upgrade to OSX Mavericks I have two versions of iMovie: the last and 9.9...why?
App store say me that I have to upgrade it but I have already the lastest version on my Mac. In launchpad I have the old version not the last.
In application folder I have the new app....WHAT HAPPEN?!?!
How can I remove the old version and use only the new? How can I put the icon of last version into launchpad?
Thank you!

This was by design. You get to keep the old version incase you don't like the newer one or have some projects that your are working on or features that you need that are not working in the newer version. I'd keep the old version until you've really gone through the new one and decide it for you. It still has a lot of bugs and some features are missing.

  • Two versions of iMovie

    Can I run two different versions of iMovie on my MacBook Pro?

    If you already have iMovie 6 installed, installing iMovie 8 or 9 automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
    Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
    (No quotes)
    Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
    This is said to work with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • Hi, I have an older version of imovie on my mac and I need to make a short movie right from the camera inside my mac because my flipshare camera doesn't have the correct software anymore.  Do I definitely need the new version of imovie?

    Hi, I have an older version of imovie and I need to record a short audition directly from my built in camera in imovie and edit it and then send it because my flipshare camera software isn't responding to mailing at all.  Do I need the new imovie version download (update) available or can I simply use what is already on my computer to record edit and send?
    Thanks!

    AS an iLife 08 owner, you can get a free download of iMovie 6 here.

  • After recent upgrades, I have two versions of keynote on my mac

    It seems that I have recently upgraded to the new version of Keynote:  however, the old version of Keynote is still on my mac.  Is that right or do I need to remove the old version manually?

    The LAST thing you want to do is remove the old version of Keynote (5.3).
    To my knowledge, the old version's existence does nothing to interfere with the new version's operation.
    More importantly, if you've used the old version at all, you'll want to continue using it as the new version is a stripped-down shell of the old version.

  • Download and install old versions of imovie onto my mac

    Hi, I have imovie 8 on my mac and find it hard to use and need to do alot of video editing very quickly. Could someone direct to to how to download imovie 4 or imovie 5 onto my mac. thanks. Sinead

    You can get iMovie 06 in a number of ways. You cannot download it _FROM APPLE_ any longer (it was free for a time). You can also find iMovie 06 on the iLife 06 install disc.
    You can buy iLife 06 on Amazon or eBay (it will cost more than iLife 11). BUT WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!

  • Why two versions?

      Why did I get both 64 and 32 bit versions of each program I installed from my Adobe cloud subscription?  Do I need to keep them both?  Will I lose functionality if I uninstall the 32 bit version? If I keep both does it matter which one I work in?

    Some programs have both a 32-bit and 64-bit version.  If your computer is 64-bit capable, both versions will be installed.
    AFAIK, there is no way to uninstall the 32-bit version without also uninstalling the 64-bit version.
    Unless you have old plug-ins that aren't 64-bit compatible, I would recommend using the 64-bit versions.  They can address more RAM than the 32-bit versions.

  • Why two versions of US Letter?

    When I set my page size as US Letter in other Adobe products, this gives me 8.5 x 11 as expected. When I try to print from a spreadsheet to Acrobat and select US Letter as the .pdf paper size, I appear to get something different! (I'd tell you exactly what if I was on the right PC …) and no option to set a custom size. What's going on? how can I work around it? Thanks in advance for solving this riddle for me.

    This was by design. You get to keep the old version incase you don't like the newer one or have some projects that your are working on or features that you need that are not working in the newer version. I'd keep the old version until you've really gone through the new one and decide it for you. It still has a lot of bugs and some features are missing.

  • Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

  • Two Copies of iMovie?

    I want to run two versions of iMovie.
    I created a partition (separate drive) with some private files.  I would like to have a separate copy of iMove, so that only the movies I edit on that drive can be seen when I open up that copy of iMove.
    Currently, when I open iMovie, it shows all projects, even though I might not want those to pop up when I open the software.
    Is it possible to have two copies of iMove that hold different projects?

    Works to a bit - Using two User Accounts
    But some material will be shared as
    • movies in iPhoto Movie Library = iPhoto-videor
    most probably same goes for
    • iTune - and -
    • GarageBand
    (still need to be tested)
    I prefer the moving external hard disk storage - as it keeps privacy a bit at least.
    THIS external HD MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - Nothing else will do for Video.

  • I've kept the old version od imovie (6.0.4) through three migrations and now have it on a mac 10.6.8. i prefer it to the new one, but it has recently begun to give me serious problems. is it becoming obsolete?

    i've always thought imovie 6.0.4 was the superior product. i've used it edit semi-profesional films. its easy and intuitive, and always gives you what you want, while looking profesional. i have final cut pro, which i use when i have more time or the project is of more importance, but i still love the ease and simplicity of the old imovie. i've migrated it over 4 computers and it has worked fine till about a week ago. it now takes up to 20 minutes to load, frequently drops out. leaves phantom and relic snipets of audio. is there any way i can fix this problem and keep my beloved imovie 6.0.4? can download it from a third party? are the issues because the .app is going obsolete or are there just new bugs on my computer? i've recently uninstalled all my adobe products and put them onto another computer, could that be it? help me obi won, you're my only hope!

    klaus 1,
    thanx for the reply. i'm on a 10.6.8 snow leopard.
    yes, it did arrive via migration, but had been working well for over 2 years, and two years before that on a 10.5, where it had migrated from a mac book g4 where i used it regularly. through all that time and migration, not a single problem
    i can't pinpoint the exact 'original' problem, because i'm currently working on two different editing jobs (one serious [a kickstarted campaign] the other, not so much, for my son's pre-school graduation, i was making the school a little video for their website). so during this time, i'm using a combo of; imovie, adobe premiere and final cut pro. and i've had so much pulsing through my computer (and external hard drives), literally hundreds of gigs of HD video, tons of tiff and jpeg files, and much mp4 and aif music files. i often had three or four major applications all open and running simultaneously, so who knows how this all started. but one day, i flipped open my mac, and just clicked on imovie, not a file mind you, but just the icon, and it took like 2 minutes to load (usually 5-10 seconds). i made sure all other apps and windows were closed and tried it again - now 3 minutes to load and it drops out mid edit. and it just kept getting worse.
    AND THEN, AFTER IWROTE ABOVE 'I  -  ME' MADE THINGS, MUCH, MUCH WORSE.
    i was aware that there is an old quicktime 7 that gets installed in a 10.6.8 to supplement the newer quicktime x and the various other programs, including imovie, that still use qt 7. i was a bit confused why there even is an icon for qt 7 in the utilities folder, since you never open it directly, it just works behind the scenes. but whatever.
    after imovie started acting up, i looked up to see what programs that imovie uses, thinking the problem might be there and found an article that said there was actually an even earlier version of quicktime, (qt 7.0.3 i think) that was specifically made for imovie, but there hadn't been enough major changes in qt to bother imovie, but (there is always a but) there were changes coming that would begin to affect imovie. since the article (i wish i could link it here, sorry) was a year old, i  thought maybe the damaging upgrade was already made. so i found this older version of quicktime (the 7.0.3 version) and tried to install it, thinking it would fix my issue, i'd finish the edit, then delete it. but when i tried to open it, it told me, a newer version of of qt was on my computer and i couldn't install it. so very impulsively and idiotically i uninstalled quicktime 7, thinking i would just reinstall it later. but that's when everything went wrong.
    SO I MUST STRESS THIS TO EVERYONE! NEVER NEVER NEVER UNINSTALL QUICKTIME.
    apparently quick time x is preinstalled into the 10.6.8, in such a way, that its interconnected with like 12 other programs, that will all begin to act erradictly after it is uninstalled. then those 12 programs will each affect 5 more and soon, your computer, then your hard-drive is blown. i tried reinstalling quicktime, but could not. i tried every conceivable way, but could not even find it in any folder. it was gone. and so was qt x.
    so when i uninstalled quicktime 7, it affected quick time x in such a way that it stopped working, then could not be found. then all h**l broke loose. every program began to run slowly and started dropping out. functionally, the computer became so slow, it was useless. even typing became slow. i still did not know about the 'never uninstall quick time rule' yet, so i looked for the problem else where.
    i opened up activity monitor, and there were no programs eating up cpu, nothing that suspicious. but when i switched activity monitor to show usage in a descending order, i saw kernel task was using between 500-700% cpu. my fans started running furiously and my battery life dropped in half. i would switch off the computer, start it with reset, things would go well for a half hour, then kernel would spike, the computer would get red hot and the fans would go as fast as propellers. since the kickstarter campaign i was working on was on deadline, i had to keep working. so i went out and bought a laptop stand that allows airflow under the computer and has its own fan to cool the computer, that worked for about a day. but since the fan on the stand ran on power from the usb of my computer, my battery life went from very good, to completely dead. nothing. accidentally unplug the cord for a millisecond second, and the computer turns off. when i restart, the time is set to the day and time i bought the computer, and would undo my internet, and i'd have to reset my whole connection.
    i spent twelve straight hours, through the night, using recovery programs, like pacifist, stellar phoenix, and others, but could not get quick time back. finally (like 4 hours ago) i called apple, and although i have no warranty or apple care, they took my call and we tried some things, which didn't work.
    i had already run disk utility and exhausted all other options. and i was told by apple that since my computer was preloaded (no discs) i could not, erase and reboot, which wasn't really an option anyway.
    so apple being the best run company in the country, sends me a new down loadable version of imovie, quick time 7 and quick time ten.
    it hasn't arrived yet, but how cool is that?
    i have to say though, i'm a bit worried about reinstalling by disc and have no real guarantee that everything will return to normal.
    not to mention my battery is dead and snow leopard gives you no way of getting to it. it has to be replaced at an official apple certified store.
    so lesson here, never, ever, never, uninstall quicktime. i hope no one else makes this mistake.
    thanx and good luck.

  • You Cannot Use This Version of iMovie With This Version of Mac OS X

    +*Cannot Use This Version of iMovie With This Version of Mac OS X*+
    Yes, I can. iMovie just doesn't want to cooperate. I checked the requirements, it says:
    an Intel-based Mac, a Power Mac G5 with dual 2.0 GHz or faster processors, or an iMac G5 at 1.9 GHz or faster.
    Well, I meet the requirements, I have an iMac G5 with 2.0 GHz, also with Leopard.
    Why can't I use iMovie.

  • Two version of PP on my updates, PP Pro CC and PP Pro CC (2014)  Why two? What's the diff?

    I seem to have two version of PP Pro and don't know why. There's Premier Pro CC and Premiere Pro CC (2014) Are they different versions? Are they doubled up? Should I get rid of one? I'm trying to clean my computer anyway and streamline everything so I don't want extraneous programs. 
    I also have InDesign CC (2014) Install and InDesign CS6 Update options. Are these different? If I install (2014) will it replace CS6 so I only have one of those?
    Using a Mac, latest Yosemite version, 10.10.1
    Thank you!

    When Adobe came out with the Cloud the intention was to retain one version and update as developments occured.  THey failed to meet that goal and ended up producing the CC 2014 version which is additional to the original CC.  If you do not want the original CC you can remove it.  If you have InDesign CC 2014 and know that you pay a subscription for it then you can get rid of the CS6 version.  Some people prefer to hold on to older versions in the event they need to create an older version to return to their clients (who don't have the newer version).

  • Using two different versions of iMovie...Please help!!

    I am new to using iMovie and need to know whether it is possible to jump between two different versions of iMovie on two different computers. I have created my movie on a computer using a higher version and need to put it onto a computer using a lower version of iMovie. Is it possible to do this without any problems? Thanks!!

    Hi newvopo,
    welcome to this forum
    it is recommended to stay within one version of iM while working on a project (no updates/no "file sharing"); many/all (?) iM versions are not down-compatible, e.g. iMHD has a different file-management then the versions before, or iM6 has totally new effects, transistions, not supported by any other version...
    you haven't told us, which two version you like to use...
    besides:
    you help yourself by giving us as much info about your Mac and apps as possible... use My Profile to add info....
    recommendation:
    export your movie done so far back to tape, import into the older version of iM on other machine.......

    All I can tell you is that I found it incomprehensible and largely unuseable, and have stayed with iMovie 6 ever since.

  • Two different versions of iTunes on a mac with two accounts?

    Let's say two people share one computer and person A likes what he hears about iTunes 9 and wants to down it, but person B hates it and wants to keep iTunes 8 on the computer. I know it can't be done with one account but can it be done with two accounts if there is only one computer?

    Good question. I'd say +back up your computer+ and give it a try. Put the copies of iTunes in Applications folders in each account, not in the common Applications folder at the main level of the directory.
    Some of this may depend upon how you currently have it arranged with music files and libraries. I'm assuming you have it all sorted out as to accessing music files, unless you each have your own collection.
    I don't know the full workings of itunes9 but as long as you don't share a common library (which is version-specific) or preferences files then I don't see why different versions won't work. Again, I'd make a backup in case anything funny happens, then try.
