Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have another Mac or PC, you can use Remote Disc to install iLife on the MacBook Air > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1777 If not, the other option is to use an external DVD drive as the best option, but Remote Disc is also a way

I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete. What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

Installing iLife '08 from Tiger Install disk onto Lion?

One of my iMacs (Intel) originally came with Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), and iLife '08 pre-installed. Since then, I have upgraded to Snow Leopard, and then to Lion. The problem I have is that when the upgrade to Snow Leopard was done I did a clean installation - the result was that I lost the use of iLife '08. It didn't really bother me because it isn't our primary computer anymore.
Tonight I tried to install iPhoto and iMovie from the Original Mac OSX Install Disc 2, but when I click on "Installing Mac OS X and Applications" I get an error message that says "You can't open the application installing Mac OS X and Applications because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I have also tried right-clicking and selecting "Show Package Contents" but I haven't had any luck.
Is there any work around for this? I'd rather not go into the App Store and pay for iLife and iMovie '11 considering I already have them as part of our newest iMac.

Unfortunately, there is no way around it; the older versions were PPC - up to and including Snow Leopard, they were supported by something called Rosetta. Apple has decided to drop support for the older architecture.
You can buy a new retail disk (not through the app store) which will include iDVD and iWeb (no longer included in the OS). I bought it because it was worth it to me to get a possibility to install and reinstall because I use iDVD a lot. The retail iLife 11 is available at the Apple store, online resellers, or ebay.

How do I re-install software that came pre-installed on my mac?

How do I re-install software that came pre-installed on my mac?
I bought my first mac in 2003, in 2004 I bought MS Office: Mac. In 2006 I got another mac, this one (I'm pretty sure but not 100% certain) came with MS Office pre-installed. I'm still using that computer I got in 2006 (writing this message on it right now) and have been having problems with Word and have had no luck with trying to fix it. I recently came across my original installation disk for the version of MS Office I got in 2004. So, when I became frustrated trying to fix Word I just grabbed this old installer and reinstalled office, assuming in that moment that it was the same version I had been using. I got it all installed and working and went to load up my most recent document that I've ben working on and it won't load because it's a docx file. I don't know where else I would have gotten a new version of word, I'm not one for unnecessary updates and updating a word processor is about as unnecessary as it gets. I MUST have had a newer version of word pre-installed on my computer, because any time I've ever tried to open word files from this computer on my older mac the files wouldn't work, so any time I need to do that I either make a PDF or email myself the text.
Anyway, I'm assuming that apple has all my registration info on file and can confirm that I bought the software, can they provide my an installer? My other concern is that this computer was a christmas gift and was purchased by my dad, though I don't know whose name is on any kind of registration that may exist. The problem here is that he died, so I'm concerned that apple won't support my product because the original "owner" is deceased, even though I don't think he ever so much as laid a finger on this computer or even looked at it more than twice after he gave it to me.
What is my best course of action here?

I would have to presume the 2006 Mac was used, and came with Office 2008 on it from the seller. Apple has never offered Office as a bundled purchase, and it is not pre-installed with any Mac.
Since you have the disk for Office 2004, the activation key should be on a sticker on the CD/DVD sleeve. As I recall, anyway. I no longer have my 2004 copy to check. If you have the key, it doesn't matter who it originally belonged to. You can still enter it and activate the software.
Once you have that installed, you can install the XML converter for Office 2004. That will allow you to open from all newer Windows and Mac versions of Office. The only things that won't necessarily convert are features that don't exist in Office 2004, and so can't be translated correctly, or at all.
Microsoft is saying Office 2016 for Mac and Windows should be available for the official release sometime either late summer, or early fall. So hold off purchasing a new version if you can. MS offers to reduced upgrade price for Office. You'd pay full price for Office 2011, and then again for Office 2016.
And just to note. Office 2008 and Office 2011 work fine in Snow Leopard.

I have tried to upgrade Painter 11 on my iMac running OS x 10.5.8 but get the error message : The following install step failed : run pre install script for Corel Painter11_SP1. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance "
I have contacted Corel and after several emails and one telephone call, they tell me , they cannot help but they think the problem could be with the OS.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please ?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library.

Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library. I can restore the artwork (and make my apple tv see the movie exists as well) by going into the movie library and clicking on each movie by hand, slecting get info, and then selecting enter. Now doing this 10 times in 20 days was fun and all BUT I would really like to automate the process so everytime itunes screws it up I can fix it easier.
I saw this example of an itunes script that restores artwork for music
tell application "iTunes" set theSelection to selection repeat with i from 1 to count of theSelection tell (item i of theSelection) set artworkCount to count of artwork repeat artworkCount times set theArtwork to data of artwork 1 delete artwork 1 set data of artwork artworkCount to theArtwork end repeat end tell end repeat end tell
but I need to tweak this to fit my needs for simply clicking the "get info" button and "enter" in the movie library rather than all the stuff this guy has listed. Any ideas or help on writing this? Thanks.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

Can't re-install iLife suite after re-install of Leopard.

Hi there,
Does anyone know if I can get iLife again after re-installing Leopard on my MacBook? I did it a while ago and didn't miss it too much, but I'd like to try playing around with it all again. I bought my Mac just as Leopard had come out and wasn't pre-installed, iLife was pre-installed but had no install discs. Anyone got any ideas? Or should I just get Apple on the blower?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi, not trying to be rude, yet iLife is not on the Leopard disk.
Ray
That's correct. It's on the Tiger disks. I think for a time Apple was giving it away with new Leopard boxes. Maybe now they want everyone to purchase the latest version.
I would call Apple and see what they suggest.

I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-installed on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on.
I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

HT4718 Problem to re-download Lion for clean install as it was pre-installed.

After problems on my system and 2 visits to the apple store, the genius recommend to re-install clean Lion.
As I use the recovery HD, and ask to re-install Lion from the internet, it asked me my apple ID but then stop the process and says that apple ID did not purchase Lion. I did not purchase it from the App store as it was pre-installed on my Imac bought in July 2011. So obviously I cannot re-download it from the App store.
How do I get to re-install a clean Lion then?

You have fallen victom to this new system as your Mac originally came with Snow Leopard and was upgraded to Lion somehow, before you purchased it. Which means that the Lion download system sees your system as one that did NOT come with Lion Preinstalled which means you must of bought Lion from the MAS.
About the only options you have is to take it back to the Apple store you originally went to and ask them to reinstall Lion. Also explain what happens and get a copy of Lion from them on USB stick along with a set of original system discs.
Call Apple and explain the problem and ask them to send out both the Original Install discs, which will be for Snow Leopard, and a copy of Lion on USB thumb drive. You NEED the original install disc for that unit as otherwise you will not be able to install the iLife apps from the MAS without buying them as only units that actually came with Lion Pre-Installed are allowed to download the iLife Apps free from the MAS.
You are between a Rock and a Hard Place.

I Beta tested 4.0 RC1 and now can not upgrade to 4.0. Error message is need to reboot to complete prior instalation. Have removed all previous versions of Firefox, rebooted and still same error message.

I Beta tested up to and including 4.0 RC1 without major problems. However I can not now upgrade to 4.0. Same error message time and again, "need to reboot to complete prior upgrade instalation". I rebooted several times, then tried first removing all previous versions of Firefox using both MS Add/Remove and then iolo System Mechanic, then again downloading 4.0. Even after rebooting same error message. I can not therefore install/use Firefox.

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Unable to install CS6 because of pre-release version

hello,
some background info: I'm on Windows 7 running on 64bit.
i'm trying to install CS6 but a message saying that the pre prelease version of CS6 in my computer needs to be uninstalled. i tried uninstalling it but it wasn't showing up when i went to the control panel. so i went and deleted the folders/files. probably a stupid idea. i learned about the adoble creative suite clean up tool and used it to remove all the remaining files that were left uninstalled. but after running the clean up tool and rebooting my computer twice, i still recieved the same error message. is there another way to fix this? did i do something wrong? thank you!

Check the PS forum. There's a sticky thread on this.

What is the best way to Install ilife11 iDVD and iWeb onto an iMac with Maverick

Hi:
I would like to purchase a new iMac. Since this does not come with iDVD or iWeb, I would like to install these two programs from my iLife11 DVD. Will this work?
I assume I would have to do a custom install so I do not overide the newer versions of iphoto and iMovie? Is that correct?
Will I perform the install in typical Mac fashion or do I have to do something special?
Thanks a lot.

There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks. The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.

Problems with installing SL Server on pre installed Mac Mini

I have brame new Mac Mini (Snow Leopard preinstalled) and now I'm trying to install Snow Leopard Server on it.

What should I do?

start up from cd, start installation, choose "disk utility" from the menu bar, erase hd (journaled),

Latest version installed 3 times but not the version I get

I have installed the latest version of Firefox to my computer 3 times. The About says I have it. The start page says I do not. The version I see before me does not resemble what is on the tour of the latest version. When I did Search for Firefox 22 files were found, some of which from 2006. I would like to arrange it so that I only have the latest version. Can that be done automatically or do I have to remove the older versions manually? Will removing them affect my access to the latest version? I am using Windows XP on a laptop computer with broadband connection. Thank you for helping.

hello EdReff, this sounds as if you have set google.com/firefox as your default homepage - this site is now deprecated and will show the message about an outdated browser-version no matter which browser you use to access it.
the default firefox homepage in current versions is '''about:home''', you can restore that in the options menu: [[How to set the home page]]
