Can I Install iLife '08 onto a PB G4 running Tiger?

In our family, we just bought a new MacBook, which came with the 2 gray MacBook Mac OS X Install Discs (Leopard). Once the OS is loaded on a new MacBook, it of course, includes the new iLife '08.
I have an older PowerBook G4 running Tiger (10.4.11) and would love to be able to use the new iPhoto '08, as the version I have installed on my computer is iLife '04.
Is it possible to install only the iLife '08 applications, or even only 1 or two of them, from the MacBook OS X install discs onto my PowerBook G4 running Tiger? I do not want to install Leopard or a whole new OS, only the iLife applications.
If this is possible, where do I find just those specific applications and how do I install them?
And, would the install process simply write over the iLife '04 applications already on my hard drive or do some preliminary step have to be taken first?
I am grateful for any answers or suggestions on what's possible here.

iLife '08 will work on your PB provided you have 10.4.9 or later installed and your processor is at least 733 MHz. iMovie requires a G5 processor or better so it will not work on your PB. You also need a minimum of 512 MBs of RAM.
However, it is illegal to install the software on more than one CPU at a time. You need to purchase an additional copy of iLife '08 to install it on your PB or remove it from the other computer.

  • Can I install Ilife 8 onto my macbook from my new iMac install discs?

    I am confused!
    I was in an Apple retails store yesterday checking out the new iMacs as I will shortly be buying one, a 24" 2.8Ghz model. As this will come loaded with Leopard and iLife 08 I was also planning on buying the DVD's of both ready to install on my Macbook so that both computers would be running the same versions of the OS and iLife. However, the salesperson I was discussing this with told me that I would be able to install iLife 08 onto my Macbook from the install disc that comes with my new iMac as the software is licenced to the user not the machine, thereby saving me from having to buy it.
    Is this true? And what about Leopard?I always thought that the software discs only worked on one machine, i.e. the one it came with.

    Here's a link to the Apple user agreement for iLife 08.
    http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/ilife08.pdf
    Item 2 states that you may install iLife on ONE Apple Branded Computer. The family pack allows you to install on up to 5 in the same household.
    The discs that come with your new iMac are specific to the iMac and should not be installed onto any other Mac. The retail version of Leopard can be installed on any Mac...but once again one license one machine.

  • How many computers can I install iLife '09 onto?

    My dad just bought a new iMac and with it he got iLife '09. Can he and I both install it onto our computers? Mine just has '08. Thanks

    Not unless it is a Family pack - single user licenses can be installed on one and only one computer - Family packs can be installed on up to five in the same household

  • How many times can you install iLife 09 onto your Macs?

    My teacher for Video Production wants to update to '09, and we have 5 Macs at our school.
    He doesn't want to have to buy 5 separate discs, and was wondering how many times the CD Key can be used when you buy just one program.

  • After restoring my new iPhone5 I can't install my apps onto it from iTunes.

    After restoring my new iPhone5 I can't install my apps onto it from iTunes.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Also, for not enough space, remove from your iTunes library media that is on the iPod that yo do not need so it can't be restored to the iPod

    Boot Camp will only let you install onto an internal disk. This is largely because of Windows restrictions, not Mac OS restrictions. The beta thread has some supposed approaches to let you do this, using manual steps instead of using Boot Camp Assistant.

  • I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5).  It says it "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."  Is there any way to install?

    I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5)
    Any suggestions?
    The message says "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
    Thanks!

    Thank you... spoke to Rosetta Stone and they said the same thing, and the give a nice discount when upgrading.
    Normally 5 levels of a language run about $479.  When upgrading, you can get the same 5 levels for $199.
    Fewer levels costs even less.

  • I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. Please help

    I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. When I try to download them, a message says that they are available in my purchased apps, but they don't appear under that menu. Please help

    The issue is that you purchased the apps in the US app store, not in the Mexican App Store.
    If you set your App Store back to US, then you should be able to access your purchases from teh US Store.

  • How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air?

    How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air? I have my serial number, but I can't find anywhere to download the program on the Adobe site. The physical CDs are useless w/MacBook Air.
    Thanks!
    Emily

    The physical disks are OK with MacBook Air if you buy a cheap external DVD drive and connect via USB. That's how I install DVD software on my MacBook Air.
    That said, you can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.

  • How can i install Ilife?????

    Hello everyone,
    I got my Os Leopard and did intall it on my machine. When i did it, i choose to erase and install. Now i have a perfect Leopard running.
    I really want to work with Ilife, i thought that Ilefe 8 was included, but is not. ( Deception ) So I have my Mac OS intall disc Version 10.4.7 what came with my computer. How can I install Ilife? I can't find it on the discs.
    Thanks you all

    fjunho,
    You need the original "Software Restore" disk #1 that came with your iMac (these disks are light grey, and there should be two of them; #1 and #2). While running normally in Leopard, insert the disk. Look on this disk for the "Install Bundled Software" package, and double-click it. This will open that package in the OS X installer application.
    The first thing that the installer does is check your computer against what will be installed. The "Software Restore" disks that come with all Macs are hardware-specific, and can only be used on the model with which it came. Provided you have the right disk set, you should proceed directly to the installation process. Click the "Customize" button, when it appears, to select only those components you wish to install.
    If you are certain that you are, in fact, using the original "Software Restore" disks that came with your Mac, yet the installer refuses to recognize them as such, you need to contact Apple. Didi you purchase this computer directly from Apple, an authorized reseller, or through some other channel? Was this iMac purchased brand-new by you, or is it a second-hand machine?
    Scott
    EDIT: Another possibility is that you do not have enough space remaining on your startup disk. iLife requires several GBs of space; if you do not have enough, that might explain the message you are receiving. -s

  • HT4759 how can i install icloud to my mac which is running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8?

    how can i install icloud to my mac which is running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8 ?

    You must first upgrade to 10.7.5 or later.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I can't install pages 09 on a recent iMac running 10.9.1.

    I can't install pages 09 on a recent iMac running 10.9.1. I am using a retail dvd - I get the error message that the "installer is damaged".
    Any suggestions? THANKS

    Open your System Preferences and go to "Security & Privacy". In the General tab set "Allow apps downloaded from:" to Anywhere. (You may have to click the lock and enter your administrator password first before you can make this change).
    Now try the installer again. Make sure you change the setting back to it's previous setting when you are done and check the App Store for any updates to your iWork apps before you start using it.

  • Im trying to instal snow leopard on my macbook. its running tiger 10.4.11 and it meets all the requirements  but it ask me for a restart to begin instalation progres, i restar it and it doesn't happen anything

    im trying to instal snow leopard on my macbook. its running tiger 10.4.11 and it meets all the requirements  but it ask me for a restart to begin instalation progres, i restar it and it doesn't happen anything. anyone can help me?

    I assume the restart was prompted during the installation process?
    First of all, that restart will take several minutes while files are moved into place and should not be interrupted.
    If it fails, or you have interrupted the process, you'll need to boot from the installer (hold down the C key on startup) and use Disk Utility to erase the drive prior to continuing the installation.
    That will wipe all data on the drive, though, so if you didn't make a backup before beginning the upgrade, you'll need to get your data off safely before proceeding. That may likely require the use of another Mac to access yours in Target Disc Mode.
