HELP, ilife won't install from CD!

        I have ilife 8. And i wanted imovie 6 because of the effects it has. So my friend gave me a bundle software dvd (mac os x tiger and ilife 6). I wanted to install just imovie, which i can using this link as instruction http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2604. But when i try it says it cannot be installed because installed on this computer - make sure your system meets requirements". I do not want to install tiger, because i am now running leopard and do not have the restore disc for it.
                  Pleas help, thanks!

sorry, maybe I did not explain myself
the downloadable version was made available two years AFTER the disk you're trying to install, and it was an add-on to an existing installation of ilife 08
so you won't be able to partially install ilife 06 because your system is not supported, and you won't be able to easily download the more recent version because it was pulled by apple
so your only chance is find someone willing to upload the app (160MB) somewhere, or look for it on a p2p website (which borders the illegal, so you might not want to ask about it here)

  • Keynote won't install from CD

    I just can't figured it out why after i install iwork '09 out from CD, only keynote won't open. I did the procedure 3 times already on my macbook pro lion... installation and software upgrades and such... but still only keynote won't install properly. Instead, it requires serial number to think it should not because it comes from the CD. The rest like pages and numbers are both working properly. I need help... i don't know what to do anymore.

  • Recovery = Windows won't install from recovery discs

    I have a dv6, performed recovery off the purchased 2 discs, and it says Windows won't install.  Also, will not let me log into administrator...says my account has been disabled.  Need help asap, on roomies pc.

    I also tried using a HP Windows Recovery Disk from HP for my HP G71-340US Notebook Computer, but it repeatedly fails the installation with the message:
    "No OS Flag Set on Unit.  Please use EEPROM to set OS SKU value = 2.  Error RStone S Update  SRU option configuration is invalid, Loc # cound not be found in product #.  Next step: Please use EEPROM to set Loc # in either SKU # or CTO localization code". 
    This occurs repeatedly when trying to run the Recovery Disk from HP.
    I believe there is an EEPROM problem, but I do not know what to try next.   I have backed up all my persoal data, but everything is wipped off the hard disk, currently.  I can get into the BIOS, but that does not seem to be of any help. HP tech support is of no help.
    Thanks for any help or recommendations.

  • Acrobat 9 Professional won't install from CS4 discs

    I am not able to install Acrobat 9 Pro from my CS4 DVDs. All of the other programs install.
    I have tried the following:
    - Uninstalled all other versions of Acrobat Professional
    - Copied the DVDs to the desktop and tried installing from there
    - Used the Microsoft Windows Installer Utility (could not find any references to Acrobat Professional)
    - Disabled anti-virus software
    - Disabled Windows startup services that might conflict
    Nothing has worked.
    I found something online that indicated the problem might be a corrupt data1.cab file.
    Does anyone have suggestions on what I can try next?
    Thank you!

    The Acrobat 9 download won't accept my CS4 license.  What I ended up doing was jumping through several hoops to get this to work:
    Edited Acrobat out of the registry - no change, still pauses during installation
    Uninstall CS4 entirely
    Run Adobe CS4 Clean Script - see http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup program
    Reinstall CS4 including Acrobat
    Neither the registry edit, Clean Script or Microsoft installer cleanup fix the problem on their own.  Yet, when I did them all in succession, Acrobat installed successfully - finally!  I hope this information spares someone else from investing too many hours to fix their installation problem.

  • My iPod touch will access the app store, but it won't install from it.

    I was given a used iPod Touch, and I don't know any of its history. Eveything was working fine, and then one day I tried to install from the App store and it won't work at all. I can press the "install" button, but then the app store will just close without even setting up an icon on the home screen. If I try to install the same app again, there's no record that I had tried to install it previously. I use this for school, so this is really annoying.
    PS: I am a clueless Windows user, and have never owned and i-anything until now. =)

    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Elements 6 won't install from Bamboo Disc

    Our school recently bought some Wacom tablets that had Elements 6 as additional software on the Bamboo disc.  I have a lab of 10 new iMacs running Snow Leopard.  4 out of the 10 computers will not load Elements 6.  When I double click on the Setup icon it bounces in the dock for a few seconds, then just stops. These are all the same computers, with the same software, can't figure out why some won't install.  Can't be the discs as the disc that works on one machine won't work on another.  These computers have never had a different version of Elements.  Any help??  Thanks.

    It still won't work.  I took the computers off the network, same problem.  Typically what happens is the setup icon bounces in the dock, but never asks for admin credentials.  On one of the computers, I tried again to double click on the setup icon and nothing happens, it appears as though the app tries to launch (happens very quickly) but then nothing, no bouncing in the dock.

  • Iphoto 11 won't install from apps store

    I purchased iPhoto 11 from the app store (on my Macbook running Lion). It won't install - when I click the install button it just "runs" for a couple seconds without any further prompting or anything. Is there something I'm missing here?

  • Bundled applications won't install from DVD

    I have re-installed my macbook pro (early 2011) and have tried to install the bundled applications from the supplied dvd but they won't install. I have tried several times and it keeps telling me that it can't be installed. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

    It's resolved now, I have tried it again (now the 7th time) and for some reason it decided to work!

  • Lightroom 6 won't install from DVD

    I bought Lightroom 6 and burned the files to a DVD, same as I have done for 3,4, and 5, but it refuses to install from the DVD. Keeps asking for the Lightroom 6 DVD. However if I copy the DVD to a folder on my desktop and then start the install everything works fine. I worked with Adobe support but we were unable to get it to install directly from the DVD.
    Anyone else have this problem? Windows 7 Pro X64.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Help! software won't install from installation

    This is so maddening! I'm trying to install the software from the installation CD and I get error messages "cannot install....." throughout the installation. I called customer support earlier and they told me that my antivirus software is not allowing the software to install properly...so I uninstall a bunch of stuff and I'm STILL getting the error messages. So they said somethign about a microsoft Clean Boot, huh? I'm now 2 hours into this project and am really frustrated!! This was supposed to be fun! Anyone experince problems simply installing the software??

    heatherd: You don't say what player you have I believe, but you can typically get the latest versions of the software from Nomadworld.com downloads. Sometimes it's better to download from there and install.

  • Help! Snow Leopard install (from Tiger) problems, Email, Printer, internet connections, etc.

    Hi late, but done I just installed Snow Leopard, in hopes of all being better, like SL's ablity to send attachments as "Windows Friendly", better apps, etc.
    Well, right away, after installing SL, iLife, & iWork there are problems! I also did the Updates right after.
    First, my Address book was totally BLANK - including birthdays of grandkids, used in Birthday Widget! This despite that in Mail, "Previous Recipents" shows those ones "in my address book" & those not in it. But when I click on those I want in my email box ... they're not there, even my daughters!
      Q - SO, how do I get this data back in, other than making new cards & groups ... already done in Tiger?
    Also, I tried to send an attachment, Windows friendly" box was checked, but saw somewhere I have to "contact" my server? Why? (Verizon, which hates Apple, & caused many other problems since I got this!)
    Second, my Printer, though shown as the default (Epson CX 6000) fails to print ... though all is connected properly. When I try to look for tutorials, etc on line, Safari bumped me from one negligible page to another, none of which I was looking for. Then when asking for "immediate tech help" I was disconnected, because Safari showed I wasn't connected to the net!!!
    Third, How come the new Safari dosn't have a box where I can type in a URL to go to? seems awful weird!
    Fourth, System Preferences, in Tiger too, unlocks various item pages, though I've locked them? also weird.
    I'm off to the Apple store tomorrow, but IF anyone can help with any of these now ... you'd be an angel!
    Kathy LPV

    If you did not repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installations do so now. 
    Check Epson's driver download website.  You probably need to update the drivers to work in Snow Leopard.  Please post back the results.

  • Acrobat 9 won't install from CS4 dvd

    Yesterday, I reported an issue with Acrobat.  A users PC crashed a few weeks ago & I reinstalled CS4 from the original DVD we purchased.  All applications installed except for Acrobat.  I was instructed to download CS4 from the following website:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
    then install Acrobat only.  However, when I attempt to install it, the computer hangs at "Preparing to Install..."  The PC isn't frozen, I just can't get the installer to move forward.  Adobe won't help since this is an older version.  All my online searches regarding this issue simply reveal that many other users have the same problem installing Acrobat from DVD - but I can't find anyone who has a solution.  Has anyone in this forum found a work-around to get Acrobat 9 installed?

    The Acrobat 9 download won't accept my CS4 license.  What I ended up doing was jumping through several hoops to get this to work:
    Edited Acrobat out of the registry - no change, still pauses during installation
    Uninstall CS4 entirely
    Run Adobe CS4 Clean Script - see http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html

  • Help with botched Tiger install from failed 10.5 upgrade

    I had Tiger on my Macbook then a mate lent me his OSx 10.5.6 installation disc. Big mistake!
    I loaded this new OS on the Macbook but the iMail wouldn't work.
    I then went back to my Apple-purchased 10.4.8 installation discs and tried to reload OSx 10.4.8, following the on-screen instructions for going back to 10.4 from 10.5.
    Disc 1 of the 10.4.8 loaded fine but was then asked for disc 2 which I loaded. The Install Prog read and loaded from this second disc but the install failed with the error message: "There were errors installing the software, please try again".
    The only option I have is to click CLOSE
    In doing so, the Mac reboots then opens up again on the Install Prog box that asks me insert Mac OSX Install Disc 2.
    I am trapped in this loop and cannot get out!
    How do I fix this and either go to OSX 10.4 or my mates OSX 10.5???!
    HELP!!!

    When I tried to do exactly what you said, I got the error message "Public can't be modified or deleted because it is required by Mac OS X. The only thing I could find in my old Username Public folder was Dropbox and seeing as I never really used this, not having the contents on my rebuilt Macbook isn't really a worry for me.
    I got the same error message when I tried to copy over all the other folders too.
    So I opened each folder in question and copied over the contents of each folder to the contents, i.e. old version to new version (often I had to open sub-folders to copy contents over to sub-folders because I kept getting the "...can't be modified of deleted because it is required by Mac OS X" error message).
    When I'd finished doing this, the folder Oldusername in /Previous Systems.localized/Previous System 1/User still has 4.23GB of stuff in it that I can't copy over but when I looked into the remaining stuff in Old User I found a massive amount of stuff in the Downloads folder which I won't miss.
    I then rebooted and crossed my fingers...
    FANTASTIC - my Desktop data returned and EVERYTHING SEEMS GREAT!!!
    Just to be on the safe side, I ran REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS on the parent 186.3 GB Toshiba disc on the left hand side of the Disk Utility and then rebooted again.
    THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!! Phew!!!
    So both my Macbook and my iMac are now running the same version of Mac OS X 10.5.8
    However, why is it that the Mail on my Macbook allows me to open Preferences no problem at all but the Mail on my iMac won't let me do this??? This is a real pain as I want to add a new account to my iMac Mail as well as alter some signatures and set up some new rules.
    Any suggestions?
    I'm running Mail version 3.6...

  • Boot Camp Trouble: 7 Pro x64 SP1 won't install from OEM Disc

    Hey Apple Support Community,
    So I am trying to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 onto my Mac (specs below), but I run into the same error every time. During the "Expanding Windows Files," phase I get an error message:
    Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570
    The particulars of my setup are as follows:
    • Late 2008/Early 2009 Unibody Macbook Pro
    • 2.66Ghz C2D
    • 8GB RAM (OWC)
    • 240 GB SSD replacing the original HDD (OWC, running 10.7.3)
    • 1 TB HDD replacing the optical drive (WD, partitioned 150GB for Windows install)
    • External USB enclosure w/ Apple Superdrive (OWC)
    • Install source is a System Builder DVD of Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64.
    I know that pretty much the exact same scenario is detailed in another thread (linked below), but I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't any option I was overlooking before I attempted to source a new installer.
    Thanks so much for taking the time to help!
    (Other thread link) https://discussions.apple.com/message/15551760?searchText=0x80070570#15551760?se archText=0x80070570

    Did you see thread of another person with trouble installing?
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3808299?tstart=0
    Things to try:
    reseat the RAM - been there, done that with someone. Even though said it was "fine" and worked in OS X. Their RAM was not fully seated. On PCs it is not unheard of to remove some RAM during install, or use to be.
    If you have two drives - unplug one (the SSD). Having two GPT is an issue. Sounds like this is NOT an issue though.
    External Superdrive: not an issue, seems you were able to boot from DVD.
    Otherwise, you need to edit a plist, not supported by Apple otherwise (there is a thread on how to add your MacBook Pro model number)
    SP1 has been an issue for some systems - not sure why and horrible seeing it is newer and is the current version, but their system did work with pre-SP1
    This is a DVD you bought, not one you burned. We all know by now the issue surrounding burning an ISO with Disk Utility.
    I'm grabiing at straws but does any of that give you any ideas?
