Q: Will my Apple apps still work when I upgrade to El Capitan?
First, I apologize if this is posted in an inappropriate category. I wanted to post in Mac Apps but it was blocked.
I have a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro. I will soon be upgrading to El Capitan (saved on a bootable drive) from Snow Leopard (doing a clean install on a new SSD). I know that new versions of Safari, iMovie, Garage Band and Photos comes with El Capitan. But will my older 2009 apps such as iMovie HD, iDVD and others still operate when I make the upgrade?
What about iTunes? I just checked it and it says it's current at version 11.4.
Are there any apps I will have to re-purchase?
Finally, I know a lot of folks don't really care for Photos compared to iPhoto. If I don't like Photos, can I just transfer over my current version of iPhoto from my Time Machine backup?
Thank you for your help.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.26 GHz Intel core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM
