If you rename the gb folder itself, then there's no need to rename any child folders as they will be along for the ride so to speak, and won't be seen by the new version when it's installed. I'd guess though, your data and such files are perfectly safe. Unless the file format changes, your previous version should still be able to read all your projects.

Ok, that make sense. So, is there another folder inside GB that I need to rename as well?

It's really up to you, if you want the entire ilife suite to be separate, rename the whole thing, if the rest of the apps don't matter, and you just want the gb program to be saved, then just rename that one. I generally rename/move programs to other names/places before installing updates of them, because as we've seen on other oses, and programs (dare I say aol messenger) sometimes, upgrades remove functionality, and I'm not keen to loose accessibility or features just because someone decided we don't need that feature (heck, I still have a copy of tiger installed on my mini alongside leopard) Also, I'm not all that familiar with ilife and gb, so be sure you get the apps themselves if they're not included in the folders in question.

Travis,

Do I rename the whole iLife folder, or, just the GarageBand folder?

Thanks.

Just rename the gb/ilife program/folder to something else before installing version 9.
I do this kind of thing all the time, and it works like a charm.
