If not, what is the lastO/S that iMovie HD will work on?

Thanks,

For the millions trying to use iMovie HD with Yosemite

Some people keep a separate hard drive or partition with Mavericks on it to avoid the below procedure. However, once you get the below set up, it's no big deal.


A while back, someone posted a "patch" to iMovie HD 06 that corrected the launching issue. For some reason, Apple removed the post.


Yosemite has a bug that incorrectly identifies iMovie 6 (a.k.a. iMovie HD) as not compatible. iMovie HD works fine with Yosemite.

Below is a workaround that many use until this bug is fixed.


> Find iMovie HD in your applications folder.

> Right click on it, and select “Show Package Contents”.

> You will then find a folder named "Contents”. Open it. Then open the folder named "MacOS”.

> There you will find "iMovie HD". Double-click on this, and iMovie HD will launch.

> Then create an alias. iMovie HD starts directly from the alias.
