Can't install iLife 11 (Old Toad)

This is a new topic specially opened for Old Toad.
My english was not as good as I thought when I did open a discussion saying that my legal copy of iLife gave me that error message. I'm not stealing anyone by downloading another .dmg of iLife and trying to install it (getting error as well). I purchased my copy of iLife one day, and I can have so many copies of it as I please, can't I? All the software I have installed in my genuine OS X Snow Leopard is NOT from pirate sites. Let's keep this perfectly clear, so we can follow this discussion correctly. All the purpose was trying another .dmg, the one in the DVD might be damaged, but was not the case, fortunately.
Next time, please, ask before closing a topic of an user. Repeat: my LEGAL copy of iLife, ie, my DVD on Install Software gives me the error message I linked in the previous topic. Can we follow this discussion, please?
Thank you/Gracias, Carlos.

That software install disk should be able to install the orignal version of iPhoto that came preinstalled with your MPB. However if your library has been upgraded to iPhoto 9 (11) you will have to find a way to install iPhoto 9 from the iLIfe disk.
However, you could downgrade your library to the version that came with your MPB using the directions in this iPhoto Library Manager webpage: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto
If you can get access to another Mac try your iLife 11 disk on it to see if it's a disk issue or an issure with your MBP. If it's a problem with your MBP and since we've tried most fixes I know of you may have to reinstall your system after backing up your HD first.
If you find that the iLife 11 disk is bad they you will need to get it replaced from where you purchased it originally.

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

Does anybody know if a early 2006 model macbook can install iLife '09 or iLife '11? I just got my hard drive replaced and was able to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard (I'm a little behind the times). I look at the requirements for iLife, and I think I'm good on everything.

I have OS X v10.6.8, with 1 GB 533 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM, 2GHz processor speed with 1 processor, 2 cores, 667MHz Bus speed, 2 MB L2 Cache. I don't know where to look to find the information about the 24-bit audio. I clicked on the System Profiler and looked at audio, but it didn't say anything about it. If there is anyone that can answer this question, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
Joe

If you're on 10.6.8 you can use either '09 or '11.
As for the Audio question, if you go to Audio MIDI Setup (Applications > Utilities), and select the Audio Devices Window (from the Window menu in the menu bar if it doesn't open on that one by default) and see the drop-down in the middle of the pane - you'll see that 24-bit is available.

I've bought a secondhand iMac and can't install iLife

I've bought a secondhand iMac. Since the previous owner's AppleID is related to this iMac, I reinstalled the iMac with the help of Apple supportdesk. Now everything should be clean and I want to install iLife with my AppleID, but I get an error trying to do so. I click on accept and fill in my AppleID en password, but it says that the app is allready assigned to an other AppleID and therefor I have to buy iLife. And even if I should want to buy the software (which I don't want to, because it is part of this Lion-version), I can't buy it.
So my question is, does someone knows how to attach my AppleID to this iMac and all of it's software/App store?
I've also talked with AppleSupport and raised a ticket. And in the reply via mail there was no solution other than go to this community.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I don't have the installation disk, he said he bought it without any.
I've done a clean install of Lion with my own AppleID, so why is the AppleID of the previous owner still in here?
I've tried to purchase iLife, but that is also not possible. I keep on getting into a circle...
If you didn't erase the drive before reinstalling, that's probably why the previous owner's Apple ID is still being shown. When dealing with second-hand equipment, it's almost always a good idea to erase the drive (I even prefer to do a "zero all data" as a precaution and test of the drive) and then reinstall everything. That ensures both that any software you install you have a license for and that no malicious software could possible remain.
What does the Mac App Store say when you try to repurchase iLife?

HT1926 new version of itune can not install due to old version of itune can not be removed

can not install itune due to old version of itune can not be removed

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Can I install iLife '11 on my MacBook Air?

I want to buy the 5 user version of iLife '11 but obviously there is no disc drive on my MacBook Air and I cannot download from the app store as I need the 5 user version. I also don't have a working external disc drive at the moment but a friend mentioned something about "Remote Disc" though she was unsure as to whether I could use Remote Disc to load applications such as iLife... Thank you in advance for your help!

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

Can't install ilife!

Hi everyone.
I upgraded from an ibook to a macbook back in september, and about 2 weeks ago my hard drive failed. After replacing the drive, i tried reinstalling the os, but kept running into trouble when i inserted the second disc (kept getting an error and told to try reinstalling). Eventually I figured out that i needed to erase what I'd already installed and start over with a custom install, leaving out all of the extra stuff. This worked like a charm, and when i booted up, i tried to install ilife. Again, when I inserted the second disc, it wouldn't work. I really only want garageband, and I have no idea how to go about getting it. Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this?

Try using Pacifist to extract GarageBand and the GarageBand support files from that disk.

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.

Can I install iLife, iMovie on external hard drive

I have a powerbook and way too many photos/video cuts-have run out of hard drive space on my powerbook, have much stored on an extrernal hard drive (LaCie). But can't do much movie editing on the powerbook due to HD space limitations. Can I install iMovie, iphoto, iDVD on the esternal hard drive and work there? (250 GB vs the 60 on the powerbook!). If I do, will it delete the 90GB of photos I have on the external HD? Anything I whould worry about?

Hi dianeh,
to uninstall, in finder, you drag'n drop the app into the trashcan - a correct programmed app should vanish "restless"... some apps have/need/come with uninstallers, but not Garageband.
you need to empty the trash to free diskspace, and you could use the "find" command to look for any "leftovers"; in case you find any, trash them manually by draggin' into trash......
And:
you're able to reinstall GB from your installer/recover disk, in case you need it later..........
