Hi Sue,
Just an update. I trashed all that had to do with ilife in applications, library and receipts. Loaded first ilife and then ilife 04. When I loaded ilife 05, I got same itunes warning in the iphotos pane. Soooo I went back to 04 and that's where I'm staing. All works well now. Apparently, there is a problem with imovieHD. Hope this helps.
We should all get a refund from Apple!

Did you see the link offered you in the other thread, which pointed to this:

"The preferences file for iMovie 5 has the same name as the prefs file for iMovie 6. Reinstalling iMovie 5 causes it to inherit the iMovie 6 prefs file, which causes that problem. (I see the same problem here when I run iMovie 5 after running iMovie 6. I use both.)

Discard the prefs file and iMovie 5 will create a new one when it next launches. The file is in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Quit iMovie before trashing it."

Adding to that...

iMovie 4 and iMovie 5 do NOT share the same preferences file — the name of the prefs file for iMovie 4 is "com.apple.iMovie3.plist" (yes, a 3) while the name for iMovie 5 and iMovie 6 is "com.apple.iMovie.plist". Installing iMovie 4, then installing iMovie 5 will NOT solve the photos problem in iMovie 5. Try discarding the iMovie 5 prefs file, as suggested earlier.
