How to instal iLife

I've bought MacBook Pro a year ago. I needed to reinstall the mac so I did it. Than I realized that there is no DVD with iLife in my MacBook box. How can I instal it now?

Hrmm... But do you have a grey DVD (assuming that you had it together with you when you first bought your MBP) written Applications Install DVD? That's a bundle app where you can install iLife with it.
Hope that helps.

How to install iLife in exterior hard drive

I have successfully installed Snow Leopard in an exterior Hard Drive. But iLife is not installed. How do I installed iLife in my secondary Hard Drive?

I don't have an Applications disc. I only have the System disc. Was I supposed to get an application disc when i bougdht my computer? iLife was already install when I bought my computer; only the System disc was given to me. Can I get the Applications disc from Apple?

How to install ilife?

How do you install ilife 06? Also affter installed do you have to register the product through apple? or is it optional?

PF:
Are you running an earlier version of iPhoto and the other iApps? If so and you have any unfinished iDVD projects you'll need to either finish them with the current iDVD or make a duplicate copy of your iPhoto Library folder, name it iPhoto06 Library and make it the current library before you install iLife 06. That way iPhoto 6 will update that one and leave the original alone for iDVD. That's because the folder system in iPhoto gets changed drastically and iDVD will lose all of its links to the files in iPhoto (if you are using any) and it's essentially impossible to re-link them. Keeping the original library folder makes it possible to continue with the iDVD project.
As usual it's wise to repair disk permissions before and after the installation. There's an option during the installation process to go online and register. As I understand it it's optional. There is not serial no. or the like to register. It just lets them know you're using that version and will get update emails from Apple about updates.

How to install iLife 08

I now want to install iLife 08 after successfully installing Leopard. Do I first need to uninstall the old iLife, i.e. which originally came as a package with my then new G5 and Panther? Or can I install iLife 08 and then it will override the old one?
Kathy

How to install Ilife 09 on new OS X lion installation?

I made a clean installation of OS X lion. I didn't buy iLife '11 but still work on iLife '09.
Because of the fact I didn't do an upgrade but a clean install I of course lost my iLife '09 suite. Can I reinstall it from the original max os X dvd's?
How to do this?

ilife older than version 11 is not really compatible with Lion. It might work to some degrees, but you very likely will run into issues ( iMovie09 uses Quicktime7.x as backend engine while in Lion v 10.1 is included, just for example ).
The only Lion updates that Apple specificly issued out for ilife apps are targeting the apps included in ilife11 ( like iphoto 9.1.5, iMovie 9.0.4 , Garageband 6.0.4 etc ) .
Also ilife11 is the only 64bit compatible version and optimized for Intel cpu speeds, thus requiring SnowLeo as a minimum, unlike the 09 suite which had still ppc code and strict 32bit code in it.

How to install iLife on an iBook without DVD drive

Some time ago I bought iLife 8 only to find it was on a single DVD which I could not use on my twin-USB iBook with only a CD drive. Now a friend has suggested that the DVD could perhaps be copied to 6 Cds and loaded that way. Toast has a spanning facility to spread a big file over multiple disks. Or could my iBook be hooked to a big Mac with a DVD drive, and the program transferred by Target Disk Mode. Does anyone know if either of these techniques would work?

Of the two, target mode would be far more efficient (and less risky -- in terms of software data corruption). I have in the past installed OS X on a machine with a poor DVD drive, so iLife should be no problem.

Help on How to install iLife 06 on mac os x leopard !!!!

Hello ,
I recently bought mac os x Leopard and I was just wondering if it is possible to download the software that was bundled software with my mac.

No, if you've erased iLife you will either have to reinstall from your original disks or buy the new version.

How do I install iLife 8 and what happens to all my old projects?

I want to buy and install iLife 8 but as I have never upgraded to a new version before I don't know how you do this (apart from purchasing it of course).
Step by step, how do you install the disc?
What happens to all my existing and work in progress iMovie and iDVD projects? Can I continue to work on them or should I wait until I have finished them before upgrading?

If you have a book started in iPhoto 6 then you might want to make a backup copy of the library and the application as some book themes are not included in iPhoto 7. iPhoto 7 will continue to work with that theme but if you switch to another to see what it looks like you can't go back. Another approach is to make a copy of the book in iPhoto 6 for backup just in case, select it and type Command-D.
It apperars that the new large hardcover books have printed dust jackets with the cover photo instead of the photo on the hard cover.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

How NOT to Install iPhoto 11, when installing iLife 11

With the very many issue's I'm seeing throughout these iPhoto 11 discussions,
Is there way to ONLY install GarageBand and iMovie from the iLife 11 disc?
I installed iLife 11 on a test machine (my Mac Mini) and I'm not happy with iPhoto 11.
BEFORE I install this on my iMac 24 (with over 24,000 real pictures, with tons of edits, keywords and organization throughout),
I'd like to NOT install iPhoto 11, while installing the balance of the disc.
Possible?....How, please?
Thank You, In Advance

In all fairness, when I stated that I don't like iPhoto '11, it was not because of bugs, or lost photo library's or issues installing. My install went perfect and without a hitch.
I dislike iPhoto '11 because I don't like the reduced functionality built into iPhoto '11. The elimination of features and the loss of a more productive and flexible application that iPhoto '09 is, over iPhoto '11, is why I'm not installing it.
Here are my four examples, at minimum. Of course, if you don't use these features, then like ladymac, you will be pleased with iPhoto '11. Like they say, ignorance is bliss.
1) The elimination of Keywords under each picture.
This is huge for me, with over 24,000 pictures and growing. Putting the Keyword off to the side, and ONLY viewable one picture at a time is not sane. With an extensive use of keywords across 24,000 pictures, I can easily tag and find pics. But if you don't use keywords, or never used them, ignorance is bliss.
2) The elimination of "exporting" to mail. This would allow you to re-size pics at your discretion. Attach more than 10 pics at a time. 20, 30, 40 pics or more are possible under iPhoto '09. And deciding NOT to use their stationary. OR to use their stationary. If you never had this flexibility and choice, ignorance is bliss.
3) The elimination of TRUE FULL SCREEN editing and viewing. This allows you to view any picture without tool bars or buttons alongside or underneath the picture. If you never edited this way, again, ignorance is bliss.
4) The color gamut produced under iPhoto '11 is off. I expect this is a bug OR Apple has decided that they feel the colors in iPhoto '11 are a better representation than those under '09. If you can't tell the difference, again, ignorance is bliss.

Using OS X 10.8.4. Installed iLife 11 to get iDVD. iMovie ready to burn through iDVD. Attempted burn. iDVD says burn is complete. Burn lines are on DVD R. Same disk cannot be read and is considered blank by computer and DVD player. How do I burn properly?

Hello TchrDi,
I suggest this article named Archived - iDVD: Troubleshooting issues with burning discs found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1583.
It is pretty lengthy, but also pretty thorough.

When i installed ilife 2010 I lost iphoto. How can I find it?

I need help. I installed ilife 2010 today on my Macbook OS X 10.6.8. How can I find it. The icon on my dock has a circle with a line drawn through it and it says it has been damaged. How can I uninstall this **** ilife or find my iphoto. I have thousands of pictures of family on it..
Grandma

Well you have a back up, right? Why not just roll back to before you installed?
That's the simple and fast solution.
Other than that, reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Installing iLife 08 was a HUGH MISTAKE, how do I now disable iPhoto?

If I had known prior to installing iLife 08 that iPhoto was going to restrict access to the iPhoto Library from all other programs I would never had installed iLife 08 in the first place! I have Photoshop CS3 with Bridge but now I can't access the iPhoto Library with anything other than iPhoto! I'd prefer to use Bridge so how do I now disable the iPhoto portion of iLife so I can (permanently) regain access to the library of photos I have stored there?

imacpaul
iPhoto does not restrict access to all other programs.
If you prefer to use Bridge then simply right click on the iPhoto Library pkg. file in the Finder and go 'Show package Cotents'. You will see all your pics in there, exactly as in v6. You can simply drag them out and arrange them as you please.
If you're still interested in using iPhoto: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software (such as Bridge) or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
Of course, if you set PS as an external editor in the iPhoto preferences, then you can round-trip pics from iPhoto to PS and back again, without using Bridge.
However, if you wish to use two organisers (Bridge and iPhoto) then your best option is to do the file management yourself: Create a new library and in iPhoto Preferences uncheck the 'Copy Files to iPhoto Library...' box at Advanced. Then you can create your own file structure and iPhoto will reference the files there. But be aware that if you choose this option importing and delteing pics are multi-stage operations and migrating to a new machine or HD can be more complex.
