Cant install idvd or imovie

I deleted idvd and imovie and tried to reinstall them from my MacBook pro original install disks. I do a custom install for idvd and imovie and then NOTHING install after what looks like an install screen and progress bar. What am I doing wrong? Help..

hey there Steve,
did you delete all the related files when you dumped iMovie & iDVD? are you waiting for the installation to finish? do you have the latest QT for the versions you're trying to install?

How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
end of the burned DVD.
In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
end of burned projects.
This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
but the system will not let me.
Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
components and install iLife '06?
Thanks

I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

I can't find iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, or iWeb

I just bought a used iMac G4 with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther on it and it was used badly I gues because all this junk was loaded on it but I can't find a reason why iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, etc. were not loaded on my Mac.

Hi,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussions Forums!
Your post sounds as if you do not have the original disks or a retail copy of Panther 10.3, correct?
The retail Panther disks do have iLife apps included. My set (retail box 10.3.2) came with iLife apps iMovie 3, iPhoto 2, iTunes 4.
When the original owner purchased the iMac G4 it would have had the apps bundled with it. If they are missing now it sounds like the owner deleted them from the disk or did not install them. Originally, I think, iDvD only came on Macs with superdrives.
If you let us know which disks you have, if any, perhaps we can let you know if you can install any of the iLife applications from them.

HT1338 i cant find iPhoto or iMovie in my iMac ....isnt this suppose to come preinstalled when i purchase my iMac ?

i cant find iPhoto or iMovie in my iMac ....isnt this suppose to come preinstalled when i purchase my iMac ?

Did you purchase the Mac new? Or did you install Mountain Lion and do a clean install?
iPhoto and iMovie and Garage Band do not come with OS X. However, they do come with a new Mac. The first time you set up a new Mac and launch the App Store you will be prompted to enter your Apple ID and "register" iLife to it. This lets you re-download them on any Macs you own.
However if you do a clean install of OS X they're not installed, you'd need to go to the App Store and re-download them.
If you purchased a Mac used, the original owner registered them and you don't have rights to them. You'd need to purchase them on your own.

How to install iDVD on iMac

I have a MacBook with OS X Lion on it and have iDVD running on it ever since I purchased it in 2009. Recently I bought a 27" iMac with 1TB HD and OS X Lion. I just realised today that it does not have iDVD installed on it and I am quite used to using iDVD to burn all the home videos I make using iMovie. I know that I can use iMovie to burn those movies to disc but I am too used to using iDVD and was wondering how can I get it installed on the iMac?
1. Can't find it through App Store - I am told Apple does not support it any longer
2. Can't find it anywhere on the web where I can pay and get it
3. Will I be able to install it on the iMac from the MacBook Other Applications Install Disc that came with the MacBook?

Your MacBook came with disks for installing the system and bundled software. You can use the bundled software disk to install iDVD onto your new iMac.
It should looks like one of these, possible like the one for the MacBook Pro in the upper right hand corner of the screenshot:
If you don't have those disks you can purchase the iLife 11 disk from the online Apple Store while supplies last. It will have the latest versons of both iDVD and iWeb, both of which have been discontinued by Apple.

HT2476 new Mac mini, outdated iDVD and iMovie HD with OSX 10.8.2; fix ?

I have a brand new Mac mini and during set up I imported settings from a Macbook running 10.5.8; now the iDVD and iMovie HD apps are outdated and the settings do not allow updates to the current version compatible with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2;
How do I fix this?

In my case, the .dmg can only be installed if iLife 08 is installed, so I install iLife 08 (nothing works from that in ML, but it doesn't matter), then install the 6.04 .dmg, and then update the entire iLife with 09 and then 11, running software update in between. At that point, every app works. During that process, the new iMovie versions will be installed and automatically create a previous version folder for 6.04.
Right now I have a Powerbook G4.
I'll be purchasing a new iMac (Mountain Lion) in the coming months. I would like to put both iMovie HD6 and the last version of iDVD on it. I've read numerous threads on the iDVD installation. I'm trying to make sure I understand all the steps to getting both applications installed and working correctly.
I have the install disks for
iLife 08 (says it can install on both PPC and Intel Macs)
iLife 09 (with iDVD)
iLife 11 (older version with iDVD)
I certainly remember disliking iMovie 7 and therefore used the download from Apple to revert back to 6.0.4 on my Powerbook. I did a search and happened to find in my Library an installer package labeled iMovie HD6 (the file info says version 6.0.4 and it's dated Feb 2008). Is this what I would have used to go back to iMovie HD6 from iMovie 7? I also found a ton of other installer packages that I had no idea my powerbook must have automatically saved. Included were numerous iDVD 7 update installers.
So would I take these steps on the new iMac with Mountain Lion?
Use the iLife 08 disk to do a custom install of only iMovie (or does the 6.0.4 installer only work if you've installed the entire iLife 08?)
Run the installer package iMovieHD6 to revert from iMovie 7 to HD6
Use the iLife 09 disk to do a custom install of iDVD
Update iDVD by running the update packages and then using the iLife 11 disk to ensure I get all the themes available for iDVD
Run software update to bring everything up-to-date
I happened to do an install of only iDVD from iLife 11 (iDVD) on another IMac running Mountain Lion and found that I had no choice but to install iPhoto along with it. Since that was an older version I then had to do a reinstall of the current iPhoto from the App store.
Do these steps sound logical?

Installing iDVD on Mavericks

Dear Apple Forum Members,
Apologies if this is a rather well-explored subject already, but I would like some very specific advice on installing iDVD on to a MacBook Pro with retina display running Mavericks.
I gather from the many topics and posts on this subject that Apple have decided to discontinue iDVD on the basis that most data sharing in the future will be via the cloud rather than optical disks. This seems to have stranded many people like me who are still actively sharing content by disk, a big shame and far too pre-emptive in my opinion.
So, I am faced with the prospect of obtaining a copy of iDVD from a previous iLife installation disk...
Having obtained such an installation disk (Install DVD Version 11, 2Z691-6677-A), I am now attempting to install just iDVD (if it also installs iWeb, that would be fine too). I run the installer as far as choosing a "Custom Installation", and then I am presented with the following dialogue:
I am afraid to proceed with the installation by hitting "Install" as I do not want my current version of iPhoto to be downgraded and I cannot "untick" the entry in the list as it is greyed out. I am also afraid that the iLife Support Files may be changed to a previous version.
Does anyone have experience of such an install, or can anyone suggest a better way to proceed?
Appreciate any help or advice on this subject.
Current software versions:
OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
iMovie 10.0.5
iPhoto 9.5.1
GarageBand 10.0.2
Laptop is a MacBook Pro with Retina display, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, and 256GB Solid State drive
Many thanks in advance,
Jon

Thanks once again, OT.
Have run the install process following your advice and I'm now the proud owner of iDVD and iWeb as a result!
I'm also up to speed now on the .app files in the Applications folder, and it was a very good thing that I followed your advice to make a backup of iPhoto, as the installer destroyed the current iPhoto, leaving me with a non-executable file of just 20MB.
However, I was able to restore the backup version of iPhoto without any difficulty.
So, problem solved...thanks a million for your time!
Jon

Installed iDVD from iLife 11 and now iPhoto won't open

Despite the decree from Apple that physical media is dead, I still wanted to make a DVD of something I made in iMovie but I could not find iDVD anywhere on my 2011 Mac Mini. Since iDVD was available in the App Store, I bought a copy of iLife '11 from Amazon and installed iDVD only (everything else was greyed out, except iWeb which I deselected). Now I can no longer open iPhoto! I can't remember the exact dialog box warning, but something about being damaged (I'm away from my Mac). I ran software update and there was an update for iDVD which I installed. I've restarted, I've repaired permissions, and nothing works. I've tried holding down Option while opening iPhoto but it still says it's damaged or incomplete.

In order to burn DVDs which are playable in DVD players (and TV), you need authoring/burning software - Finder cannot do that. It can burn DVDs which will play in computers, but not in DVD players. And yes, there are other burn software solutions; however, not one is close to the capabilities of iDVD.
For the OP: How did you initially obtain iPhoto? I would do a systemwide search and throw anything with iPhoto in the trash (don't empty!) - then reinstall iPhoto from the Mac App Store (if that is where you got it initially). If you can get past those hiccups, iDVD works well with both Lion and Mountain Lion; I have it installed and just finished a big movie project with it.

IDVD and iMovie wouldn't download with iLife '06

I recently installed iLife '06, and all that came up on my desktop for iDVD or iMovie was a "?" icon despite having the correct system requirements for running the applications. I tried under the customize option to re-install just those two applications but the same thing happened. How can I get these installed with the iLife software?

And there they were-- granted, not under the applications folder under my username... but still-- I have them.
Just out of curiosity ....do you have your computer set up with multiple user accounts? If so, I recommend working on your iDVD under the admin account only. Good luck.

Help, problem installing iDVD

Yes, I have read other posts on this topic.
I have iLife 9 with iDVD installed with Mountain Lion. iDVD link to download old themes takes you to blank app store page. So, was trying to manually install old themes by marking them as favories. Now iDVD crashes immediatly after launch.
What I have tried:
--Removed all Favorites themes from Application Support-->Library-->iDVD
--Reboot
--Downloaded iDVD 7.1.2update from Apple Support and installed
--Deleted iDVD and tried to install iDVD 7.0.1 from Apple Support but will not install unless previous version installed.
--Tried to reinstall iDVD from iLife disk using custom install but iDVD is greyed out.
--Tried to install iDVD from iLife Package but will not let me install packages individually without using installer.
My next thought would be to reinstall old iLife 9 from disk over newer updated copy. Then I would need to re-download and install software updates for iLife.
Any other suggestions before I nuke iLife?
Thanks,
Hotoru
Rant: Why would Apple put iDVD to pasture while it is still the default means to burn DVDs from iMovie?

First, one should not put their emaill address in a post as that offer it up to spiders that toll forums like this looking for emails to spam. I've asked the Hosts to remove them from your postl
What system are you running? Liion or Mt. Lion.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Where's iPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie?

I just did a clean install to Leopard, and I don't see iPhoto, iDVD, and
iMovie.
Are they not included in Leopard?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi
I believe that they are all part of iLife, do you have an iLife disk? If not, go to http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E80 5623D&fnode=home/shop_mac/software/apple&nplm=MB015Z/A & buy it (presuming your in US).

IPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie don't work with Leopard

Hi, I just installed Leopard onto my machine and iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie no longer work properly. For all three I get the error message "(This program) has unexpectedly quit." Can you help?

my husband was having the same problem and it even bled into his sys prefs. the problems actually started after he ran software update last night (things were working find before that, and he's running leopard btw)
he archived and reinstalled (he unchecked the "preserve users and settings box") and we're about to find out if that solved it.
to summarize, you may need to reinstall if software update doesn't fix it. not sure what caused this problem. perhaps some corruption of files?
