Custom install of ILife 06

I am considering purchasing Ilife 06. I do not plan to use Garageband, IDVD.....can I just install the applications I want? I only want to install IWeb, Itunes, Iphoto...nothing else....is this possible?...thanks...

That is correct Here are the instructions for iLife 5, but I am sure it would be the same for iLife 6.

  • Did custom install of iLife from Leopard disk, want to install the rest.

    When I bought my macbookpro a couple of years ago, it was supposed to have Leopard but didn't, so the Apple Store gave me a Leopard install disk. I installed Leopard (not an upgrade, an actual fresh install) but I guess I did a custom installation and didn't install all of the iLife apps (like iMovie).
    Now I want to install those apps, but when I get into the installation process, it looks like I may have to either archive the entire OS and reinstall or install all of the iLife apps. Is there a way to just install the uninstalled apps?
    My Leopard disk is 10.5.1, but the current version on my computer is 10.5.8, I suppose due to periodic upgrades.
    Thanks!

    Don't boot up from your original install disc. Instead, insert it, and browse it with Finder. You should see a "optional install software" or some similar looking thing (I can't remember its exact title). That's what you want to use to install iLife without reinstalling the whole system.

  • IDVD on Lion OS X - Custom Install iLife '09

    Since iDVD is no longer offered by Apple as part of the "iLife package" that comes with new Macs running Lion OS X (10.7.x) I was searching for info about custom installing iDVD from an iLife '09 package .  I stumbled across a few threads (including this one) but none that I found clearly outlined how to do it so I thought I'd add this post for folks that follow
    The iLife '09 package contains iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb and Garageband.  If you want iDVD you'll need to buy a copy of iLife '09 or a Mac Box Set which includes OS X 10.6, iWork '09 and iLife '09 to get it. 
    I wanted to install iDVD '09 while avoiding conflicts with iMovie '11, iPhoto '11 and Garageband '11 (and I didn't have use for iWeb '09 since it's no longer supported).
    To custom install iDVD '09 from an iLife '09 package disc...
    - Be sure that iPhoto '11, iMovie '11 and Garageband '11 are already installed (available from the Mac App Store if needed). 
    - Insert the iLife '09 disc, click "Continue" and for each item in the left-hand menu including "Introduction", "Read Me", "License" and Destination".
    - Let it run the initial application search to determine which applications to install.  (This will allow it to find the newer installations of iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband.)
    - Click "Continue" until you reach the "Installation Type". 
    - Click on the "Customize" button. 
    - On the next screen select iDVD.  (iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband were appropriately greyed out since they were already installed.)
    - After you've selected iDVD click "Continue" and let it finish.
    iDVD installed on my late 2008 iMac and my late 2010 Macbook Air, both running Lion OS X 10.7.3 and works as expected.
    Hope this helps anyone that follows!

    From what I've read on these forums if you buy iLife 11 as a DVD, Not Download, you get iDVD ?11?.
    That's what I thought as well...and it may be possible, but I couldn't track anything definitive down. 
    An iLife '11 disc isn't available from Apple that I know of.  Amazon offers an "Old Version" of iLife '11 but there's no mention of iDVD.
    Apple doesn't mention iDVD on the main iLife page either.  However they do mention it on the iLife '11 iDVD page.  ???  When you click on "iLife '11" it takes you to the Mac App Store where iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are individually sold...but no iDVD.  So I may be missing something.
    My late 2010 Macbook Air came with iLife '11, but not with iDVD.  I've also read on forums that if you do a fresh install of OS X 10.7.x on a Mac that came with iLife '11 that you can contact Apple and somehow get iDVD.  I've also read other posts that say that you can't.  Very confusing.  Perhaps someone will come along with a clear answer.
    In any case, I wanted iDVD on my late 2008 iMac (which of course didn't come with Lion), so installing it from my iLife '09 disc did the trick.

  • I'd like to use iPhoto '09 with Lion. Tried to install from time machine back-up no go. Tried to install from iLife '09 DVD no go.

    I'd like to run iPhoto '09 on Lion. Tried to install on Lion from Time Machine backup. Got message iPhoto won't work because of a missing Library file. Tried to install iPhoto '09 from iLife '09 DVD. Got message that it cannot be installed on my system. iMovie runs previous versions and iTunes runs previous versions.
    Why can't iPhoto run on Lion? My wife has over 10,000 photos in her library and she's taken the time to sort them into folders. I've recovered the library with the folder sort but have to use it on an external drive with a Snow Leopard system on it. The latest iPhoto ('11) has no provision for organizing into folders. I'd really like to have everything in one place with one OS (Lion) and two iPhoto apps '09 and '11 and I suppose 2 photo libraries. I've been trying to resolve this ever since iPhoto '11 came out and I installed it. I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to answer the question " Where are my folders?" brian25

    I tried to check the Library setup on iMovie and iTunes. The iMovie Libraries seem to be part of the applications and my iTunes applications have become Russian so I have another problem. I tried to install iPhoto '09 again from my iLife '09 disk. When I selected "Custom Install" to load iPhoto only, the box I got said " A later version of this application is already installed" The iPhoto item which I would choose for a custom install says "skip". Yesterday I ignored this and went on with an install. The final screen said "Installation Successful" There was no iPhoto '09 on my hard drive. As far as I can tell, you cannot load iPhoto '09 from a Time Machine backup. There is no Lion compatable iPhoto '09 in the App store, and iPhoto '09 will not install onto Lion from the iLife '09 disk.I don't understand exactly what you mean by "load my backup and convert again" Do you mean go to the app store and access my purchases and re- download iPhoto '11 and reinstall it and re-convert my iPhoto library? I suppose what I should have done originally was to duplicate my iPhoto '09 library and put it on an external drive for safekeeping. Who knew it wouldn't install on Lion from Time Machine? When I downloaded iPhoto '!! from the app store I should have duplicated it and saved a copy to an external hard drive for safekeeping and then proceeded with installing iPhoto '11 on my hard drive.I suppose when the Thunderbolt concept is fully realized and monster Thunderbolt external droves are in common use this will seem a lot easier. I have rebuilt my iPhoto '09 library and have it on a hard disk that has a bootable copy of Snow Leopard and a working copy of iPhoto '09 also. I think you are telling me to reinstall iPhoto '11 on my internal hard drive and reconvert the iPhoto library used by iPhoto '11. Right? brian25

  • Install of iLife 11 leaves iPhoto 09

    Tried deleting 09 apps from Finder and then installed iLife 11 disc.  It left iPhoto and says it won't fun on Mavericks (even if it did, I want all the new apps!).
    I tried to delete it again and I did a custom install of just iPhoto 11 (it had a - next to, but I changed to a check mark and deselected the rest).
    Still only find iPhoto 09 on my iMac. 
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    You can update 9.1 to 9.4.3 which will run on Mavericks.  Or get 9.5.1 free from the App Store as long as 9.1 is on the HD for the App Store to see.
    There are the versions of iPhoto that wil and will not work with Mavericks:

  • IPhoto does not show up on custome install on ILife08 disc

    I have upgraded to Leopard and my iphoto book themes are gone. I have tried to reinstall iLife08 for the iphoto but when i try to custome install the only option it gives me is garage band. I cannot reinstall iPhoto or any other applications beside garage band. How do i get my iPhoto book themes back?

    I tried this and it still did not work. What did work was to "Nuke" n "pave" (Reinstall Leopard and iLife 08 with the Erase and install). Thank god for the Time Machine.
    Thanks anyway.

  • IDVD won't install from iLife '09 disk

    Are there any reports of bad iLife '09 DVD pressings? I just tried to install iLife on two of my late model Macs- a Dual 2.3GHz Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) with Superdrive, and an Intel iMac 24" (Mid-2007) model- and the installer grayed out the iDVD selection in the Custom Install on both machines, telling me that it could only install iDVD on Macs with a SuperDrive. WTH? They BOTH have SuperDrives, and they each have an install of iDVD from iLife '08. I know that these SuperDrives both work, because I've used iDVD to burn DVDs on both of them. What am I missing?

    Honestly I don't know if iDvd'08 vs. iDvd'09 are the very same version. But they are very close. Not much has changed if you are looking at iDvd alone. Still no blu-ray support within either version. Seems to me that Roxio Toast and it's Blu-ray plug in, picks up where iDvd left off (with the exception of Apple's Final Cut Studio which is much more money and has rather large learning curve).
    Btw, this is not intended to compare Toast with iDvd since really one is authoring software vs. a disc burning utility. It's like comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended). However, Toast is getting more improvements lately vs. iDvd.
    Did a search on Yahoo and here's what came up which seems like a valid assessment:
    iLife '09 isn't as large of an update as previous iLife releases. In fact, iDVD was hardly changed, if at all. GarageBand received a facelift and has a bunch of new features, probably the most prominent of which being the artist lessons. iMovie got a few new features like image stabilization, themes and more, and isn't as annoying to use as the previous version. iPhoto got a lot of small tweaks, as well as the Faces and Places features and integration with Facebook and Flickr. iWeb also got a few enhancements, like more themes, more publishing options, and more widgets.
    As for which is better, go with iLife '09. Both are good suites of applications, but if you have the money, go ahead and upgrade. The few new features you'll find are worth it.

  • Problem custom installing idvd

    I am trying to install just idvd from a iLife DVD I have just purchased and I am afraid that it is going to overwrite my installed newer versions of iPhoto, iLife Support, iMovie and Garage band which came installed with my Mac Book Pro.  The custom install page allows idvd to be ticked but the other programmes like iPhoto and iLife Support are ticked but greyed out.  Yet in their Action columns it states in bold "Install".
    iMovie is greyed out and is not ticked and in it's action column it states "Skip".  Garage Band is also greyed out but has a dash in the box and "Install" in the action box.    Sound & Jingles and iWeb have boxes that I am allowed to untick and they state "Skip" in their action boxes - I am unsure if it is safe to install these or not.
    When I untick the Sound/Jingles and iWeb the install window says that I need 1.3GB free to load the programmes as selected.   The iDvd programme alone states that it is 274MB, Life Support is 131MB, iPhoto is 894MB and GarageBand is "Zero KB"    I am worried because it seems to me that when you add up the file sizes of the programmes it is threatening to install not only iDvd but iPhoto, iLife Support and GarageBand (Although that states Zero KB).  I have looked on the web to see if anyone else has had this issue but I have failed to find the specific advice I need.    Can anyone help me please before I mess up my programmes?   Many thanks Ken

  • What's the purpose of a CUSTOMIZE install of iLife 08?

    So over the weekend I upgraded to iLife 08 on my machine. I wanted everything except Garageband. So I selected custom install from the options. I checked everything I wanted and made sure I did NOT check Garageband. It even said SKIP next to it. So I proceeded with the install of the other apps and low and behold a little while later I looked at the screen and it said GarageBand content being installed!
    Does this thing have a mind of its own?! What is the purpose of a custom install if its going to put apps on that I don't want any way?
    Sure enough when it was all done, I opened my applications folder and Garageband was in there. I have Soundtrack Pro and have no need for Garageband.

    DVX100Shooter,
    It is very possible that you inadvertently caused Garageband to be "checked" when closing the category under which it falls. In the "Customize" interface, items are included in sub-lists that are opened and closed using the "disclosure triangles." Individual items can be enabled or disabled with their own check boxes, or the entire sub-list can be enabled or disabled using the check box for that list.
    What I am getting at here is that it is relatively easy to mistakenly enable a list heading, perhaps when closing the disclosure triangle, thereby enabling the items in the list. I've done this myself when navigating these dialogues.

  • Clean Install without ilife 06

    I am having some problems with my imac running tiger and I was planning on doing a clean install but I do not want ilife 06 to install from the system disk because I own ilife 08. Is it possible to keep it from installing when I reinstall Tiger?

    I believe you just do a custom install and uncheck the stuff you don't want.
    Oh well, I decided to get off my buff and look at the disks.
    Disk one is the system stuff, Disk two is the ilife stuff. Disk three is developer tools.
    Just use disk one, but go ahead and do a custom install to eliminate stuff you don't want.

  • Lion, can't do a custom install or partition?

    I just did a clean install of Lion on a friends new iMac. I wanted to do a custom install. I could never get the custom ikon to work. Ended up doing a full install. Also I could not partition the HD after I did a erase. Last, I was wondering if you could erase the HD and dump the Lion partition?
    Any thoughts out there?
    thanks

  • Custom Install Never Works For Me FCS 1

    I installed Leopard the other day and now I just want to reinstall Motion 2 and nothing else. I put in my FCS 1 installer disc and I did the custom install option where I deselected everything but the Motion application (no content). I clicked continue and the installer is installing everything. Why?
    This happened to me before when I wanted to go back from FCS 2 to FCS 1.
    Anyone else have this happen to them?
    Thanks

    Well, it is a whopping 2 years old. I guess I shouldn't expect so much from Apple, huh?
    Motion 3 isn't usable for me. It is slooooow with basic 2D projects that are in "real time" in Motion 2. It renders 4X slower than Motion 2.
    I finished the whole install. It seems Motion 2.0.1 doesn't work in Leopard. I have another drive with Tiger on it. I'll have to boot into that, install Adobe software onto that hard drive (what ever happened to "Packages"?) since it's all installed on the Leopard drive. Another day wasted.
    I'm really getting tired of feeling like I'm on a Windows machine with all these hassles on my Mac. Is Apple completely blowing off their pro customers? It seems they are losing their focus and have been putting out a lot of faulty "pro" software lately.
    Sorry for the rant. Thanks for your input.

  • Custom Install on "My Computer" - Disabled?!?

    Okay so this is not one of my best mornings. I managed to delete my iTunes library (I thought it was a duplicate) and now when I try to load iTunes it won't work.
    No biggie I head over to Apple and download a new copy. I get as far as the Custom Install page and it won't let me click on the three things as it says next to them 'disabled'. I have about 30 GB available so I don't think its a memory issue.
    Does anyone know what I might have done?

    Remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' file from ./Library/Receipts.
    Try installing again. This time it should work.
    Did you delete the entire iTunes folder?
    Deleting the library should not prevent iTunes from operating.
    iTunes will create a new empty library, but operate as normal.

  • Archive disabled via custom install

    Hi,
    I setup my custome install to disable archiving of Outlook 2010 email.  Now my management would like to start using it and I'm at a loss as to how to re-enable it.  What would be the best way and/or the quickest way to re-enable manual archiving
    in this scenario?  We are in a Windows 2008 R2 domain, if that helps.
    Thanks in advance,
    Linn

    You can do this by creating a revised customisation MSPfile and deploying that:

    or
    Domain GPO might be the simplest way.
    Have you used the GPO Admin Templates for Office ?
