Could someone please help me reinstall leopard without losing stuff

I have a macbook and when I got leopard I stuck in the drive and did a standard upgrade.
I now feel the need to do a clean install, it isnt slow or anything I just feel the need to start over.
Thing is I have no way of knowing how, I dont have much software installed, I have office which I have the disc for, everything else I can download again........the only thing I dont know about is ilife 07 which came bundled with my macbook.
Can I do the following?
1. Drag and drop my itunes/iphoto/imovie files to cd/dvds
2. Back up any folders/word docs etc I need to keep.
3. Put in my leopard disc again and go for erase and install
4. Put in my previous bundled macbook disc and select 'install bundled software'
5. Load my backedup files back into their respective programmes.
?????????

Can anyone solve this for me conclusively? will ilife inlcuding iphoto etc be in the 'install bundled software' option on my tiger disc (my macbook came pre installed with tiger including ilife etc) and will I be able to install it in leopard after an erase and install?
If anyone has any reasons why not to do this i.e. 'it might brick your macbook' or something less dramatic. please share...thanks

  • Quicktime movie trailers still not playing, could someone please help me?

    I have not been able to watch any movie trailers from quicktime for two years now and this is really getting old.
    my inf!
    computer: DELL
    system: Windows XP SP2
    QT player version: 7.2
    I have all system requirments and updates also allready unselected derctX and selected safe mode, still all I get when loading the movie trailer from QT websight is the white box with QT logo in middle, sometime the logo will also have ?mark over it. I figured it was just taking its own sweet time loading so I wated it out. 4 hours later there was still no change. you'd think apple would have fixed or resolved this problem since it has been ongoing for last two or more years.

        Dear Tylerkeefe,
    Good morning. Getting notifications that you are close to exceeding your allowance can certainly be alarming. It would be my pleasure to help put your mind at ease.
    I understand you are not streaming movies, music, etc. Which these features will use a lot of data. Are you using the Mobile Hotspot on your phone. This may also cause you to exceed your data allowance quickly if you do not power if off after you are done using the feature. To turn off mobile hostpot tap settings>general>personal hotspot>off. Do you have any third party applications that you have installed that may be running a lot of data?
    To ensure applications are not consistently running in the background do the following press the menu button at the bottom of your phone twice. All the open apps will then appear. Select and hold the bottom of the screen. A minus sign will then appear in the top left of each app. Select each minus sign to close out the application.
    I hope the information given will help clarify what is using a lot of data on your phone. Should you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
    Thank You,

    you can use the same apple id for purchasing apps and music if you want, but turn off automatic downloads. it may be better to have separate ones, but if you want the same app you'd have to pay twice. that's something you'll have to think about. for all the other stuff like facetime and messages and icloud you need to have separate icloud id's. see the apple link below.

It sounds like a bit of a mess and what you may need is an onsite PC tech to do some maintenance on your PC.
    Also, learning to properly use punctuation (particularly periods) might not be a bad idea. As it is, your post was very hard to read.
    Good luck!

  • I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd.After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality?

    I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

    Hey Z,
    Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
    Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
    Project:
    - total project duration: 79:04 minutes
    - total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
    Menus:
    - number of menus in project: 1 menus
    - total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
    - total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
    Movies:
    - total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
    - total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
    I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

  • Could someone please help me with getting the sabnzbd daemon to start?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a classic newbie.  I managed to follow some instructions I found on the web to get sabnzbd to install (via Yaourt), and when I invoke it from the command line, it works fine.
    I've read that you can get it to start as a daemon, which would be really good.  Could someone please explain how this should be done?
    Where do I need to put the sabnzbd.init file?
    What about the sabnzbd.confd file?
    I'm okay enough with adding sabnzbd to the /etc/rc.conf file, but I can't quite configure it so that the necessary files are in place to start it.
    If you need any details of my setup, please let me know.
    Thanks heaps,
    Luke

    Apart from the wiki article on ABS, always look at the pkgbuild when in doubt. This is also helpful when you want to know what compile arguments are passed to GCC. Custom postinstall commands are run through .install file (example what is displayed after installation), this is generally foo.install in the AUR for a pkg named foo. And most importantly, familiarize yourself with compiling process, and Arch specific routines like a daemon should be defined in /etc/rc.d/, instead of /etc/init.d/ in other linuxes.
    Edit: A best exercise would be to create a pkgbuild yourself. Arch always recommends community contributions.

  • Could someone please help me import my iphoto photos into aperture?  They are now just referenced files.

    Hello,
    I am a longtime iphoto user and installed aperture this past december.  At that time I imported all my iphoto photos as referenced files and kept them in their iphoto location.  Since that time, every photo I took was uploaded directly into aperture and stored there.  I am now comfortable enough with aperture that I would like to use it as my primary photo viewer / manipulator and would like to merge my two libraries into one single aperture library.  Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do this. 
    I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.  I then tried reimporting my iphoto library, however, this simply duplicated many of my events (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner).  Both of these attempts did nothing to combine my aperture projects and my iphoto events (which are now seen as a seperate iphoto tab under projects).  I am aware that I can now switch to my iphoto library within aperture in version 3.3, but I just want everything stored in one place and in my aperture library.  Can someone please help me with this?
    The only thing I can think of is deleting all of the iphoto events from aperture and then reimporting them, but I am scared I will either delete something permenantly or that they will simply reimport as referenced files and remain within iphoto. 
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    - Mike

    Mike,
    I am not quite clear about the current state of your iPhoto and Aperture libraries. It looks like you have plenty of broken links to referenced masters in either library. Whatever you do now, it is very important to ensure that you have a working backup, both of your iPhoto Library and your Aperture library, before you try a major reconstruction.
    I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.
    In what way did it not have any effect? From the effects you are describing, it looks like all your original master images have been removed from the iPhoto Library and are now inside the Aperture library as managed masters - at least, this would explain, why trying to import the iPhoto library resulted in duplicated projects (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). You removed the original masters from the iPhoto library, and now you could not import it, since the originals are now in Aperture.
    For me it looks, like you simply need to delete the iPhoto images marked with an exclamation mark, for these are already bound to images that you imported earlier. It is perfectly o.k. that the recently imported iPhoto Library appears in a separate section of the projects in your Library Inspector Panel. Each iPhoto event should appear as a project. Aperture will put them there, so you can find them easily.
    You should check now, if the originally imported images, that you imported as referenced, are now managed. If you enable badge overlays you should see no longer any arrows on the thumbnails of your earlier imports. Also, if you select one of these images, you should be able to toggle between original master and version by typing the "M" key.
    Define some smart albums (File > New > Smart album) based on the file status: Add a rule: File status is.
    One smart album: File Status is referenced
    One smart album: File Status is managed
    One smart album: File Status is missing
    The first album should be empty.
    The second album should show all your images you originally imported from iphoto as managed, and that you recently consolidated.
    The third album should show your recent import - the images imported from iPhoto after you consolidated the originals to Aperture and removed these images from iPhoto.
    Post back, when you have checked the file status of your images in Aperture and we can be sure were the images are exactly.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • I have just bought a 2nd generation iPod touch , it has been reset to factory settings and has no option to update it ? How do I do this ? Also it will not show up in my iTunes or my computer could someone please help??

    The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    To update to 4.2.1
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
      A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • Could someone please help me . . .

    Hello,
    Could someone please tell me how to go about writing a java program that would be able to process a statement/sentence. How can I make it is so that when someone types in a statement/sentence and presses enter, the program calculates the total number of words in the statement and whether it ends with a period, question mark, or an exclamation. Could anyone start it off for me so I'd be able to see how it works. My textbook doesn't contain any samples that pertain to this. Just in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's what my handout says . . .
    Write a Java program to process a statement. You may assume that the statement contains a series of words each separated by exactly one blank space and ending with exactly one punctuation symbol which is either a �period � for a sentence�, �question mark � for a question� or �exclamation point � for an exclamation.� You may assume that the statement fits on one line, it does not wrap over more than one line. You may also assume that no other punctuation symbol is used other than the ending character of the statement.
    The program should output:
    1.     The type of statement processed (sentence, question or exclamation).
    2.     The total number of words in the statement.
    3.     The longest word in the statement � if multiple words are of the same longest length � output
    the first of those words found in the statement.
    4.     The shortest word in the statement � if multiple words are of the same shortest length � output
    the first of those words found in the statement.
    5.     The number of short words found in the statement (containing 1-3 characters).
    6.     The number of medium words found in the statement (containing 4-6 characters).
    7.     The number of long words found in the statement (containing 7 or more characters).
    Again, if someone would be kind enough to start it off for me or give me an example on how to go about doing it, I would greatly appreciate it !!!!!
    Thanks for your time,
