How do I upgrade from iLife 08 to iLife 09 after complete OS reinstall but have left disk in another country - Can I do it?

I just had to completely reinstall my OS from the startup disks on my MacBook Pro ... my Time Machine backup had been corrupted, so I started from the original disks etc.
I have now got back to OS Lion and iWork 09 and iLife 08, but have just realised that I do not have the iLife 09 disks with me as I have moved country and must have left them in my old house (in the cellar!!!).  Can i download the iLife 08 to 09 upgrade somewhere?
I also have iMac on which I had pretty much the same S/W configuration before I hit the problem that caused me to completely reinstall the OS etc.  I have a 'family' licence for the iLife 09 - can I use the installation on my iMac to install on my MacBook Pro?
Thanks

There are numerous supporting files, i.e. themes, etc. that are required for iPhoto (and iDVD) so just copying the applications from the one Mac to the other won't do the trick. You need to install it.
You might try using Migration Assistant to copy your user account from the  iMac to the MBP.  Or, downgrade your iPhoto Library to iPhoto 7 (08) via this tutorial from iPhoto Library Manage: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto. Then when you get the disks you can upgrade again to iPhoto 8 (09).
Otherwise you'll either need to wait till you get those disks (have someone ship them to you) or purchase a copy of the iLIfe 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com or whatever is available where you're currently living.

  • HT201272 I upgraded from old iOS to iOS 6.1.3 but have no Maps or iCloud apps. They appear in Settings, but not on iPad, and I can't find them in iTunes. Can someone help, please?

    THis is not an app question - it is an iOS issue - but was sent to this forum.

    You should have a Maps app, though it is not the same as from previous iOS versions (it is no longer supplied by google, though they have a version in the App Store). You've checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?
    In terms of iCloud, there is no separate app for it, it just appears as Settings > iCloud.

  • Images are not loading/not loading completely, persona previews no longer works with scrollover - even after complete uninstall/reinstall, but images work in IE - suggestions on how to fix this??

    Images on websites often do not load or load incorrectly/incompletely load even after refreshing page and clearing caches. Often have to "clear recent history" 5 or 6 times within a single firefox session to get working links, images, completely loaded pages. The persona previews no longer do an "automatic preview" with a scroll over and now i no longer even get an image on the page to scroll over (images are just NOT THERE). I have done the safe mode test, have updated everything suggested, have checked all add ons as suggested in the troubleshooting guide and NOTHING shows as being a problem. I even did a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is STILL not working. Worried that it was an issue with my computer, i checked the pages in IE, and they worked PERFECTLY. I am uncertain what to do now. It started as a problem once or twice a week, and now it is EVERY time i bring up Firefox. Help?

    the second article did offer a suggestion that SEEMS to have helped ::crosses fingers:: - an about:config, resetting of the preferences for images. we'll see how long it lasts. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the suggestion, the article wasn't one i'd found while searching for troubleshooting info.
    Java script is enabled, but the persona's stuff still isn't working. dang it. WELL, one thing seems to work now, at least. thank you.

  • How do I upgrade from 3.5 without loosing cookies?

    How do I upgrade from 3.5 without loosing all cookies? I have tried installing 10 and 13 but neither will read existing cookies and will also essentially delete them. (i.e. when I revert back to 3.5 the cookies are gone.)

    I have not tried upgrading from 3.5 to 10 or 13, but see no reason why the cookies should be lost.
    Are you using multiple versions of Firefox, if so to prevent problems you should use a separate profile for each version. To try to prevent loss of cookies back up your Firefox profile and keep it somewhere safe outside of any firefox program or profile path.
    I am not sure what you are now trying to do. If your cookies are already deleted then you now have no cookies to loose on updating. Or is it some other setting or data you are concerned about.

  • How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8?

    How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8? Unable to find a download? I need to get to the point of ITunes 10.6.8 so I can then upgrade to ITunes 10.7 so that i can sync with my iphone 5.
    Am i on the right path or do i need to upgrade my software which is OS X version 10.5.8?
    Any help is appeciated.

    All these programs levels are a little confusing ..... you currently are on OS X 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8, so you can download iTunes 7.
    You'll need to call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE, and buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, from the legacy products list. You'll use the DVD they send to install the new operating system, then run Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 7.
    PS. Be sure and have a system backup before upgrading your operating system.

    If your computer's incompatible with 10.8(try purchasing it from the Mac App Store) and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

  • How do you upgrade from Mac OS x 10.6.8 to Lion?

    How do you upgrade from Mac OS x 10.6.8 to Lion?

    First check to be sure your hardware meets the hardware requirements for Lion.
    Backup your data. I suggest a bootable clone as the way to go.
    Then open App Store and purchase and download the Lion installer.
    Then install Lion.

  • How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    The latest version of iPhoto  - 9.5.1 -  requires MacOS X 10.9.x.  Is it possible to upgrade your Mac to Mavericks? Then you can buy the latest iPhoto from the AppStore.
    If your Mac does not support Mavericks, you could upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.3, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  , but this version is no longer availbale from the AppStore. Buy a boxed retail version of iPhoto '11 from Amazon or eBay, and then update it from the support page  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  .

    I am using lightroom 5 and would like to upgrade to lightroom 6. I am not interested in the subscription based craetive cloud model. The website keeps pushing me to the subscription based model. Can someone guide me on how to just upgrade from 5 to 6 (desktop version and not the cloud subscription version)?

    Hello,
    there are informations about your interests here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-6-cc-direct-download-links.html >>> See: Importantly, this new version continues as a downloadable desktop product and is available either with a standalone perpetual license (called Lightroom 6) or via subscription (called Lightroom CC). It’s the same exact program and free trial download below, but the name is changed to reflect the differences in licensing and bundling, as well as the addition of integrated mobile apps & services and future feature updates.
    From there you will find a download link.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
