How to reinstall ilife

I have just bought my mac pro, and i don not find the ilife. How should I instal it? in the box it is written that it comes with the computer.
tks

Is this a Brand New Mac bought from a Real Apple store or reseller?
iLife is not listed but the iLife apps that Apple now supplies with Lion are on the drive, that is IF it is a brand new system.
If you bought it used there may be some problems getting those apps. As that Mac is registered to the original owner.
You could try logging into the Mac mApp store with your Apple ID and see if you can download the ones you want.

HT1338 How to Reinstall ilife apps and ICal from Original disc...

My hard drive crashed. With my new hard drive, I somehow no longer have Calendar (iCal), Pages, Numbers or Keynote. I have my original discs from getting my computer July of 2011. How do I reinstall the apps I've lost? I don't want to mess up any other data!
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I unpacked iCal from the CD using Pacifist. However the iCal application still does not work. I get an error message saying the iCal version 3.0.8 does not run with the current version of the operating system (OS X 10.6.8). I have also tried reinstalling a copy of iCal (version 4.0.4) from a Timemachine backup made a month or so ago - but same problem it won't run and the error message says its the wrong version for my operating system. Worse still iMail has stopped working as well and offers up a similar error message (iMail version doesn't work with this version of the OS). This is baffling because the entire operating system and bundled applications were re-installed in January this year by a Mac dealer when the hard drive was replaced. The Timemachine backup was done in May when everything worked so it is hard to understand why restoring the same version of iCal does not work now.
Seems Macs are great when they work but impenetrable for the average user when things get out of sync.

How to reinstall iLife and iWork in macbook after reinstallation of maverick

I need help to reinstall the iLife and iWork which was initially preinstalled in my new macbook pro late 2013. Unfortunately, both were gone after I did a Maverick reinstallation as I accidentally deleted some wrong files causing OS to crash. Appstore requires I pay for it although both apps were initially free and bundled together with my laptop. Kindly advise.

Hi Terence, I have solved the predicament. Apparently I was using my wife's apple ID when I first register my macbook. Therefore, I am now able to redownload the iphoto through appstore.
Thank you by the way.

How to reinstall ilife in a second hand mac

Hi I found several tthreats with this problem. after reinstalling mac os lion, ilife suite is not available. If this is a second owner, with different apple id than the first one, app store will not allow them to download the apps.
The solution in the forums work in other cases: same owner reinstalling mac os and ilife, for example. Others just plainly suggest to buy them, which is neither possible, since app store does not allow you, because the mac "has" the apps already. here is the solution /thumbs up fro apple genius bar!!!
ANOTHER SOLUTION TO GET BACK ILIFE AFTER FRESH INSTALL OF MAC OS
I went to the apple store and told them exactly what i did> purchased the mac from the original owner, fresh install of Mac OS lion, ilife apps not appearing and unable to downloead because " they were assigned to another id". The woman smiled, got a hard drive with ilife suite, and installed. She said anyone could solve the problem if they had a copy of ilife in a dvd. She says this problem started when mac os was shipped with ilife installed, but without the bundled dvd or original dmg file.
Of course, she suggested me to buy the new apps, but i declined. I could have also order a hard copy of ilife from applecare, thought. So, for those without a mac store nearby, it is a potential solution. Please note that the mac have had always the right to have the apps, so it is a legal installation.
good luck to all! it is possible to recover the ilife.
Sorry for not putting it as a question, but i got the answers, hopefully helpful to others.

Apple doesn't sell the iLife apps on a disk any longer and Apple Care doesn't sell Apple software, the Apple Retail store does. The apps this "Apple emplyee" placed for free on your Mac are not the same versions of the apps that came preinstalled on the Mac and they are not the Mac App Store (MAS) versions. And they will not be udates by the MAS. You may be able to get updates through Software Update.
I doubt that it is a policy of Apple to have its employees installing the iLife apps from an old disk for free on 2nd hand Macs, so others trying to get this done may not be successful.

How can I reinstall iLife on my macbook without the CD?

I once had iLife on my macbook, however when I updated to OS X Lion, I couldn't find it anymore. I am currently running version 10.7.3.
I need to reinstall iLife without using the CD and without going to the Apple store as I am no where near one.
P.S: When I search for iLife in the App Store it says I have to pay.
Please Help!
Thanks!

Restoring your Free iLife (iPhoto, iMovie etc)

HT201250 i was trying to manually erase files from my macbook air. at one point, my system preferences disappeared from the dock and i had a pop up message telling me the application was 'incomplete'. I tried to reinstall iLife but i wont work.

I used the small key that comes with the air but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Am i supposed to be reinstalling OS X or iLife? I tried OS X and I didn't see much difference except for the return of my system preferences and safari which had initially disappeared, but I'm still missing the App Store and iPhoto. I can't reinstall iLife either.

Try a few things: 1) restart in safe mode (restart holding the shift key) and this will repair the drive (if need be) and trim/delete cache files. Restart normally.
2) if you use iPhoto or Aperture launch the program and then empty the trash folder of the program(s). Launch your Mail program and check out how much is in the Trash and Archive folders. You can delete the really old stuff if there is any.
3) Download omniDiskSweeper (free) to see what's on your drive. Be careful about deleting anything that isn't in your personal drive space and be very careful about deleting anything in the Library folder.

Hi,All
I downloaded and installed some apps from " selection of premium apps" last December.
The device I installed was 9780.
Now, I am starting to use a new 9900 device.
How to reinstall apps I downloaded in my new 9900? My old 9780 would be erased.
The app world store asked my credit card info for charging me again when I tried to reinstall these apps, such as DriveSafe.ly Pro, Photo Editor Ultimate , etc.

Reinstall iLife after Mavericks installation

Hi All,
Newbie here. Just got my 2011 Mac Mini up and going again. I had reinstalled the OS on the Mac using the internet OS download utility and that went grand. Got 10.7 back onto the Mac Mini but no iLife. I thought ok lets just push ahead for Mavericks thinking it would just bundle it into the Mac. Still not there.
Anyone know how to get iLife Back on a Mac after you have done a clean install? Dont want to pay $30 for stuff that was already included. Also i see people mentioning a DVD in the forums, ill go ahead i jump right on that and say a DVD didnt come with my Mini.
Thanks

Bump.
Lots of people are having this issue with no real good answers. I hope apple devs are reading the blogs and get us a fix for this quick. I had this problem after upgrading to mavericks, then I did a clean install to mavericks and still have the same issue. I already miss Steve.

How do Uninstall iLife 11?

I want to install iMovie HD 06 (v6.0.3), which I will sometimes use instead of iMovie 11. I see that it is possible to do this by first uninstalling iLife 11, then installing iMovie HD 06 from the iLife Install disk, then finally reinstalling iLife 11.
My question is: how do I completely uninstall iMovie 11?

How to reinstall pre-installed iWorks after hard drive replaced?

iWork was pre-installed on my iMac (July 2010) 3.2 gHz i3 running OS10.6.8. The original hard drive was recalled by Apple and replaced. I backed up all data to Crash Plan prior to the change out. When I tried to open any of the iWorks programs I received the following error message:
I checked my install discs and application install discs, but iWork does not show up there. How can reinstall these programs?

Thanks, mate, but the computer did not come with any iWork DVD. It only had the OS install disc and the Application restore disc, neither of which contain iWork. The error message reads: "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X. Clic Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
I sent a report to Apple. This message repeats for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. My original receipt shows the iWork app was paid for.

IPhoto and iDVD won't open after I reinstalled iLife '08

I was unhappy with iMovie '08, so I tried to load an older version from my iLife '05. However, it copied over all of my iLife '08 apps. I was hoping it would give me the option of just installing the iMovie app. Everything opened except for iPhoto and iDVD. I then reinstalled iLife '08, to try and fix the problem, from the bundled software that came with the computer. But still, iPhoto and iDVD don't open. Here's what iPhoto report says...

delete all of your iLife applications and your iLife receipts - do not do anything with your iPhoto library
Install iLife '08 and go to the Apple downloads page and download iPhoto 06 (a free download for iLife '08 owners) and install it and you will have the best of both worlds iLife '08 and iMovie 06
