Attempting to reinstall iMovie HD/iLife 05

My machine came with iLife 04 installed and an iLife 05 disk was included. I used iLife 05 until we bought my wife an iBook, which came with iLife 06 installed. I thought I might as well use the install disk on my iMac to get iLife 06 installed on it. It hasn't worked as well as 05 did and some features aren't available on 10.3.9. So, intending to reinstall iLife 05 from the disk, I dragged iMovie 06 to the trash can (along with iDVD 06). After iMovie didn't reinstall, I went into Customize and saw that iMovie HD was unchecked, grayed out, and it showed "disabled" to the right. I fear I made a big mistake in deleting iMovie 06 (and emptying the trash). Can you help?

Hello Graig,
try the following:
open a Finder window and type "iMovie" in the search tab. your mac should find a couple of leftovers, e.g. com.apple.iMovie.plist and iMovie.pkg - these are preferences and receipts. there will probably be other stuff from application support.
try trashing them as well, repair permissions with Disc Utility and reboot, then see if you can reinstall iMovie 5 (the same should work for iDVD).
hope this helps

  • How to uninstall/reinstall iMovie

    I just "upgraded" to iMovie 7.1.1 today and it the program all but totally collapsed. It will still open, slowly, but even though a project is active the Project library shows empty, the event and project windows are sometimes filled correctly and sometimes not, and regardless of that the whole thing has slowed to a jerky crawl.
    In short iMovie is, well, I'd say it's toast, but I have Toast and at least it works.
    I am in the middle of a project in iMovie '08 which I need to finish. I'd love nothing more than to roll back the clock and slap myself in the face just before I clicked on the OK button to update the software, but that isn't going to happen, so what can I do to un-do what I've done? I tried reinstalling the "bundled software" that came with my OEM OS X Tiger discs and that didn't work (I'm actually running 10.5.1). So my question is: How do I uninstall and then reinstall just iMovie?
    Thanks in advance.
    -John

    Thanks for the reply, yes, I did try to repair the permissions, in fact I have run permission repair three times now and when I get home I'll see if it needs to be run again since it seems to come up with additional issues each time I run it, suggesting to me that there are layered permission problems. Whether that has anything to do with the current iMovie issue or not has yet to be proven.
    In regard to your reply to Irb07 about Quicktime, I have not received the same error messages about QT, however the update that I installed contained updates to several packages, iMovie and Quicktime were two of them.
    So far none of my permission repairing has made a difference in iMovie, it still doesn't work although it will partially load. I'll keep repairing and see what happens, but in case that doesn't work...
    Is there a way to actually uninstall and then reinstall iMovie? iLife came packaged on the OEM Tiger disc set with my machine, but it does not appear to allow me to selectively install specific programs, nor does it allow me to remove any.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks.

  • Reinstalling iMovie 4

    When trying to reinstall iMovie 4 from iLife CD the error message says the installation can not be made because Garage Band, iDVD, iMovie or iPhoto is running.
    Another time when this happened I just erased the HD and started over.
    Am in my 8th decade and am retired...so who cares? I have the time.
    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Like to say that it will be better the next time...but I know better.
    eMac PowerPC G4 (3.3)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   it's junk

    This nonsense is infringing on happy hour. (I'll make up for it.) Are you the Sue in The Field Museum Of Natural History on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago?
    You only get part of a star.
    Suppose you should have the whole star...iMovie was reinstalled.
    Was able to reinstall iMovie 4...but...when attempting to open iMovie was advised that the application was damaged.. or some such drivel.
    Only iMovie was selected for reinstallation.
    Have a self portrait to attach to these missives as soon as I can figure how to do it.
    Thanks Sue, for your time and help.
    Don't feel bad. When I get new bells and whistles for my Macs, I cut a hole in the bell and put the clapper in the whistle. Then when I correct that, I try to ring the whistle and blow the bell

  • Can't reinstall iMovie '11

    When I try to reinstall iMovie '11 using a custom install, iMovie (and Garage Band) is grayed out and iPhoto (and iLife Support) cannot be unclicked. Can anyone suggest what to do?

    Yes, that worked. Thanks.
    And going back to the non-updated version seems to have solved the synchronization problem.

  • Reinstall Imovie HD

    My Imovie will not close I have to force quit or it will just stay open forever. I was told to reinstall imovie off of main disc. How do I do this? Thanks

    Hello, rainbowdog!
    Welcome to the discussions.
    What version of iMovie are you using? iMovie HD can refer to v 5 or 6. How did you get the original iMovie HD? Did it come preinstalled on your computer or did you purchase iLife 5 or 6?
    If it came preinstalled, you should have some CD disks that came with your computer. One of them should be a Software Restore disk. You can insert that and opt for a custom install that will allow you to selectively reinstall just one app.
    If you purchased iLife separately, you should have the disk, and can reinstall from that.

  • Reinstalling iMovie

    Hi. My iMovie 6.0.3 is acting squirrely and I'm wondering about whether I just need to reinstall it. I actually own on disc iMovie '05 and somehow along the line in the process of doing my updates somehow I ended up with iMovie '06 ver 6.0.3. If I reinstall iMovie 05 from my discs, can I just dowmload the upgrades to make it 6.0.3? I can't seem to find the exact 05 to 06 download on the Apple web site. Thanks for your advice!
    Christine

    Wow. I'm pretty freaked out since the only discs I have are for iLife 05 and I keep all my discs together. I tend not to lose things like that, but I've turned my house upside down just in case and I just don't have it... I somehow remember being surprised way back to find that I had an 06 version but I just accepted it (who would argue with Apple?) Very strange.
    So I happened to find the download of 6.0.4 from the web site that says I have to own and install iMovie 08. I know I can own 2 versions... but I saw some people unhappy with the dual installations on the discussion boards. I checked out iMovie 08 in the store and I did NOT like it -- they took away a lot of great features like the timeline.I'm still running 10.4.11 -- is there anything special I need to know?
    I REALLY appreciate your help and quick answer since, of course, we are having a problem with this right when my daughter has a major project due for a competition!
    Thanks so much! (and I'll keep looking for those discs...)

  • Hard Drive Crashed-Reinstalled iMov-can't move Events/Projects

    I had to put new Hard drives into my Mac Pro. I did manage to salvage my Projects and Events by copying them temporarily to an external drive. I have since copied them on to a partition of one of the new internal drives.
    I then had to reinstall iMovie from my iLife disc.
    Now, when I open this new iMovie, I see all the internal and external drives and volumes, but none of my Events or Projects show up. Each drive has a downward triangle and nothing showing under it.
    I read instructions and posts and as best I can understand, I am supposed to drag a Project icon, holding down command or copy, onto the icon of the drive I want it on in the Project Library list.
    But as soon as I get my curser carrying the Project into the Project Library window, all the drives shift out of reach and it becomes the empty dark grey Project Library panel.
    I tried the same with Events but there, the drives don't move but what I am trying to drag and rop does not turn into a plus sign and if I let go it does nothing.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Help? Thanks

    Appleman-that was fantastic. Thank you. Copied those folders over to new drive at top level, opened iMovie and viola!
    People like you make learning fun.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
