It appears that Yosemite breaks iMovie HD (a.k.a. iMovie 06). iMovie HD is still used by a lot of people for simple movie editing.
I have all of the newer versions of iMovie (and Final Cut Pro), I still prefer iMovie HD. On a related note, iDVD is reported to work well with Yosemite.
Various workarounds and fixes have been reported on Apple discussions in the iMovie forum.
It will take a Macintosh super genius to figure out where the glitch is.

I keep getting errors downloading from the App store. And it's slow as hell attempting to download at that. I'm on Beta 6.
It's just the traffic - everyone is home & trying to download it. Give it a while, & things will calm down
Reference to the button at the top left of every window. Used to just "maximise" the Window, but now if you click it it goes "Fullscreen", and you have to hold alt down & click to make it do the old function
The navigation buttons look different than they were in Mavericks. They were filled arrows, now they are greater than and less than signs.I don't see it, they look the same to me
Previously, the Maximize button.
OS X is starting to get more like a security system for a a car...
Press one for this
Press Twice for something else etc....
I thought Apple was all about simplicity... It used to be, not anymore...
Looks/appearance of Yosemite: orientation
Generally
For the appearance of Yosemite, generally, two complementary topics are now stuck (pinned) at the top of the Yosemite forum https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/171/
Perceived ugliness
For the bad looks, http://tinyurl.com/tentenlooksbad there's a petition, begun a few days ago in France, about the ugliness (I signed today). And for anyone who'd like to retweet about that petition: https://twitter.com/iamapay/status/522912463054831616
Apple
Don't forget: feedback to the company.

Interesting. You joined MacRumours just last month and you're already an expert in all things Apple.
Let me share my assessment.
-----------------------------
When I left all Microsoft association at the curb, whatever way Apple could keep my photo restoration and graphics business running was the only consideration. The cost for a MacBook Pro was, at first, prohibitive. Although, after doing the research (like a good little user who seeks only facts) I found that for what I needed to do, Apple was the clear choice.
I no longer have to wait ten minutes for updates, etc. when I need to go to work "now." I no longer start my computer then go take a shower hoping it is ready when I get back in ten minutes.
It makes no difference to me what I have to shell out in order to get rid of constant updates, to own a machine I can depend upon when I need the computer to render client video while unattended (as I sleep.) After suffering 3 failed hdds, three failed mobos, countless crashes over a 12 year miserable relationship with Microsoft, no more. Fortunately, I never experienced NT, 2000 or Vista. I jumped from 98 to XP. My old Samsung is used by my wife for work, work that is far below the demands I had previously put on it. It runs Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. A good OS, but constantly faced with "Updates are ready. Do you want to restart?" NO! I want to work! Can we work?!?!?
Apple makes money by producing electronic devices that actually work, and with the fewest amount of pieces in the mix. My 500g SSD is amazing with a dual quad core processor. "Step right up, no waiting."
Microsoft, no doubt your preference, has a "Patch Tuesday." Every month. Why? Because they never get it right the first time. Never.
Need a fact? Sure, here are many facts.

----------------------------------------------------
Until you venture beyond playing games, sending cutsie photos to your love, watching YouTube booty videos, you really can't say much. All of my devices are solid business oriented devices, which put more stress on them than what most users I know put on there devices, therefore if I need functionality on a less stressful level to the device, it will be there. My Note 3 prints PayPal invoices/receipts to any wireless printer in the room, anywhere. If not, I e-mail to the client and print from there computer withing seconds. Sadly, iPhones can not do this. They need an Air printer. Counter productive for me. If I need a driver to print wirelessly, I get it in a few minutes. My Nexus 7 (T-Mobile/ASUS) gives me instant news when I need it, streaming or otherwise through my phone carrier. My iPad Mini handles client e-mail the way I need it to be done, it also uses Eye-Fi very well for shooting photo and video when I don't have my NIKON with me, so when I get home to my Mac, the photos and video are already on one of my external drives setup for media. Ready for editing for the client, wirelessly. Additionally, I can Direct Connect to my MacBook and we can view web ready shots at the shoot on my MacBook.
If I could find a device that bundled all of these needs into one model, the cost would not matter and the manufacturer would be even less important. If it works, it works. I'll take two, one for my home business environment and one for my field needs. I wouldn't run around besting everyone even if I could. I couldn't care less about what you have in your pocket. If it works for YOU, cool.
We all pick and choose what works for us, but when you draw comparisons, you really need to stay in the realm you exist in.
If you want to refute this, or argue, fine, however, I have been doing this business wise for a lot of years. I have explored all sides of electronics through their evolution. I can suggest what works and what doesn't. I can also suggest what to stay away from. If you need a device that can maintain as you need it to, the source should be a slight consideration. As I stated, Microsoft has let me down in too many ways. Since owning two Apple devices, there is no turning back. They work, and they work every single time I need them to.
If I don't need business functionality, I buy whatever is lighter in that area. If I need something WITH business functionality, I go more robust. There is no popularity rating involved.
So, can we now get past, "My phones/device is cooler than yours" and take care of business? My devices are no better than yours or anyone's. They just work. They work well. They work as I expect them to.

Imagine my surprise when the first thing I checked was the Help Menu and IT'S STILL MESSED UP! Come on Apple! WTH?
You busted it back in Leopard? and still haven't fixed it. For a release whose emphasis is being polished this is a bloody joke.
Pathetic.

My mid 2011 MBA works. You have to be signed into the same iCloud account on both the Mac and your iPhone. Your iPhone also has to be running iOS 8. You also have to be connected to the same wifi network.
On your iPhone, go to Settings>FaceTime>iPhone Cellular Calls.
On your MBA, open FaceTime and go to Preference>iPhone Cellular Calls.
Turn both of these on after you do/check the things above and you should be good to go.
I suspect RockSpider is one of those trolls who joins a forum, blasts everyone until he is banned from the site, then creates a new account, and starts all over again. Unfortunately, your well thought out, well expressed assessment will fall on deaf ears.
Yes, I looked him up before making a statement. I am somewhat new to the world of Apple. Just two years this month, a week ago, however, what works, works. Using one's eyes and ears will get one much further, quicker, than one's mouth.
99% of his previous comments are mainly negative. Sad, considering that his comments will also fall on ears that care not to hear it.
I also blog. One must think before speaking/typing in order to be read and appreciated.
Thanks David.
I quite like it. When I was using a Windows environment, I always grabbed as much screen space as possible. The Ctrl+the minimize/maximize button normally enlarged the window one may be using. Safari and most browsers worked that way.
I use Photoshop daily and am always looking for more real estate.
