How do I install iLife '08 onto an iMac PPC G4 with OS X 10.5.5?

When I put in the installation disk for iLife '08, the machine never brings up the iLife '08 icon that I'm supposed to double-click to install the software.
I meet all of the hardware requirements except those for iMovie, which I'm not interested in. I'm really interested in iPhoto.
And my DVD works just fine, as I can read other disks no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rheal23

Sounds like either a bad DVD or a bad optical drive. In some cases you may be able to duplicate the disc and then use the duplicate. You will need a blank DVD-R.
Duplicate a CD or DVD
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.
If this isn't successful then you will need to contact AppleCare or the vendor from whom you purchase iLife to get a replacement disc.

How do i install an os onto an imac 2008?

I recently purchased an imac 2008 and I don't know how to install an OS. The keyboard and mouse did not come with it, but I do have a Magic Mouse as well as a wireless keyboard.
Any help would b e appreciated.

Didn't your iMac came with an operating system? Very strange. Anyway, you have two options:
1. If the iMac didn't come with discs, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 They will send you a DVD with Mac OS X and another DVD with iLife applications.
2. Buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard If you get replacement DVDs, you will get Mac OS X Leopard, an outdated version, but if you get Snow Leopard, you will have a later version and you will be able to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion if you want.
To install Mac OS X, insert the DVD and hold the C key while your computer is starting. Then, supposing that your hard drive is ready, follow the steps on the screen to install Mac OS X

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

If all else fails, try this. i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

How do you install a driver onto a current system from a live cd?

I just installed Arch on my laptop, but it seems that it doesn't install the Ethernet drivers and they don't appear to be on the live CD. How might I install the drivers?
Thanks!

your post title and the message within seem to contradict themselves.
More information from you might be helpful as in what packages did you install during the installation process? Did you have network connection during the install? Are there any errors that you get when booting.

Not at all sure what you are wanting to do - what type of Mac? Which OS version? Are you physically trying to install another drive?
Or are you talking about the Mac not recognizing flash drive that you've plugged in?

How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air?

How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air? I have my serial number, but I can't find anywhere to download the program on the Adobe site. The physical CDs are useless w/MacBook Air.
Thanks!

The physical disks are OK with MacBook Air if you buy a cheap external DVD drive and connect via USB. That's how I install DVD software on my MacBook Air.
That said, you can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.

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.

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

I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete. What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.
