Just a warning for iMovie 10 users here in the center

So for those of you working with iMovie 10 on our center computers down here, there is an important detail you need to know when you are done working here. Our Macs run on Mac OS X 10.9.5 or Mavericks. The newest version of Mac OS X is Yosemite. Now, if you work on an iMovie project here and then take that project and open it up on a Mac running Yosemite, you're going to have a bad time.

You see, when you open it up on Yosemite and then try and open it back up on a Maverick machine (one of our computers) it will not allow you. The program will say that your project has projects or events that were created with a newer version of iMovie. So you will be forced to work on a Mac that has Yosemite from now on. If you are willing to do this then by all means go ahead. However, if you do not have a Yosemite mac at your disposal then I would advise you to only work on one of our machines, or another Maverick Mac.

To find out what version of Mac OS X you have just follow these steps:

  1. Click on the apple logo in the upper left corner
  2. Choose "About This Mac"
  3. Look at the number that is displayed under "Mac OS X"
    1. It should say "Version X.X.X"
  4. Look at the following table to determine your version:
  • 10.0 - Cheetah
  • 10.1 - Puma
  • 10.2 - Jaguar
  • 10.3 - Panther
  • 10.4 - Tiger
  • 10.5 - Leopard
  • 10.6 - Snow Leopard
  • 10.7 - Lion
  • 10.8 - Mountain Lion
  • 10.9 - Mavericks
  • 10.10 - Yosemite
