HT4411 iLife '11 System requirements?

"Not readable by this computer" would tend to indicate the iLife '11 install DVD cannot be read on a Core2Duo iMac running OS 10.6.8.
Apple's support document <iLife: System requirements> ends with iLife '09, system requirements for '11 are nowhere to be found on Apple's iLife site/pages.
The iLife '11 box says: "Intel processor, 1GB RAM, 5GB disk space, DVD drive, 10.6.3 or later" then refers to the document above for more info.
A search of Apple's app store for "iLife" or "iLife '11" turns up no iLife and no iLife DVD, only individual iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand:
iPhoto '11 requires 10.7.5 or later, no CPU specs.
iMovie '11 requires 10.7.4, no CPU specs.
Garage Band requires 10.6.8 or later (suggesting it's been abandoned), no CPU specs.
No iWeb, no iDVD..... and cannot download any of it from the app store anyway.
So why can't a machine with "Intel processor, 1GB RAM, 5GB disk space, DVD drive, 10.6.3 or later" even READ the install DVD in the box?
We went looking for iPhoto for OS 10.6.8 - like it says on the iLife DVD box - but apparently iPhoto version 8.1.2 is what we need. Was it part of iLife '09?

Thank you, Terence. Quite right, lots of changes, versions, Systems. Confusing as all get out! And the only thing worse than no information is wrong information. Would be nice to see that iLife requirements doc HT3876 get updated. Didn't stick around long enough to know which version of iPhoto I had, but it was wanting to update immediately.
Larry called it, was a bad DVD. My (family pack iLife '11) DVD installed perfectly on that Core2Duo/10.6.8. iMac. Defective DVD will have to go back to Amazon or wherever it came from. Too bad Apple refuses to sell anything that's more than a week old, gives rise to situations just like this one.
Thank you gentlemen!
Noooo! I did NOT just click my own 'solved' button, did I? I clicked Larry's! Dang! Undo! Undo!
Larry, I'm sorry, I can't fix it. You were RIGHT. I'm going back to a pad and pencil now....

  • Canon G11 iPhoto/iLife/OS system requirements

    Hi,
    I am running Leopard 10.5.8 with iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My new Canon G11 can export into iPhoto, but photos cannot be stored or emailed in high-rez. Do I need newer versions of iPhoto/iLife/OS? Does anyone out there use a G11?
    Thanks,

    Re: Fie size in Mail:
    Have you checked the Size setting in Mail?
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    But do be aware that "Full Size" refers to the pixel dimensions of the image (length by breadth) not necessarily the file size in MB. For that, export the pic from iPhoto (File -> Export, Kind: Original) and attach that.
    Also, some images in iPhoto, when double-clicked, turn blank instead of expanding to fill the pane.
    The Black Screen issue tunes up for a number of possible reasons: start with the easy fix: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. include the option to check and repair library permissions.

  • Does dual-500MHz count as 1GHz? (minimum system requirement)

    Time to replace the ole B$W G3 so my daughter can use Garage Band and iDVD. I'm lookin' at a used Dual-500MHz G4, but iDVD '06 needs a minimum of 733MHz processor.
    My math ain't all that strong, but 500 times two exceeds 733. I can't find anywhere on Apple's site where they use this same math... so I'm nervous.
    Anybody point me to a definitive Apple statement clarifying or asterisking this dual-factor when calculating processor speed?

  • System Requirements for iLife 11

    According to the system requirements for iLife 11, certain functions require a Mac with "Intel Core Duo or better."
    My Mac Pro's "About This Mac" says I have "2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon."
    Does my Mac fully meet the system requirements for iLife 11? I don't know the difference between a "core duo" and a "dual core."
    Thanks!

    Yes, you meet the requirements and exceed them quite a bit. You should get great performance.
    Make sure you are running Snow Leopard. (OSX 10.6.4)

  • What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4?

    What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4? I did search this forum but wasn't able to find a direct answer.
    I'm running version 3.0.4 successfully on a lowly G4 733 but I suspect this is as far as I can go.
    I'm updating to iDvd'08 and was also wondering if I can safely update to GB4 or not (from GB 3.0.7) on a G4 733 mhz Digital Audio. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. My guess is that I cannot but I'd like to confirm prior to attempting any further updates in GB.

    I try my best to play it safely; always. And you were right, everything worked on the ext. FW HD flawlessly ...... truly amazing software!
    (I did happen to check the activity Monitor w/in Utilities and it showed GB4 using about 60-67% of the CPU on a G4 733 ..... I'm assuming this is normal).
    Click Here
    Not sure if there's a correct order to opening these apps as there has been in former versions of iLife ..... however, this (as shown above) is the order in which I opened all apps, and all worked well.

  • System requirement

    Hi! Could someone please tell me if ILife 08 will work on a G5 1.8 GHz imac. I upgraded the OS to 10.5 but my IDVD does not work anymore. So am planning to get ILife 08 but am not sure if it will work on my machine. I read somewhere that ILife 08 requires 1.9 Ghz or faster.
    Appreciate if someone could confirm the system requirements for Ilife 08. Thanks.

    • ANY iMHD6 project has a 'project file', .. with the name, you gave it when choosing 'New Project'
    • create New Project in iDVD...
    • open in Finder the location, where you did save your iM-project

  • What are the system requirements for iMovie 11

    On the product support page for iMovie, the link to the system requirements is for iLife '09, not '11 so I'm not sure if that information is correct.
    Basically I have Mac OS 10.6.8 and I want to upgrade to iMovie '11, but I do not want to update the OS as a requirement.

    One more thing. If you Mac cannot be upgraded to Mountain Lion, there is another option. You can go on Amazon or eBay and look for the iLife 11 Retail Package, which includes iMovie 11, along with all the other iLife Apps. You can install this on 10.6.3 and above. The downside is you can only upgrade it to iMovie 9.0.4 (I think). To upgrade to 9.0.8, you need at least Lion.

  • Older iWorks system requirements ?

  • SharePoint Server 2013 single server installation licenses and system requirements

    We are thinking of setting up a SharePoint Server 2013 for the following features to be accessed by our test team (<100 users)
    Our requirements are as follows - 
    Total user access <100 users(starts with 50 and may be go upto 100)
    Mainly Access to TeamSite(Document library), WiKi, BI reports view(SSRS Reports integration)
    We have a Visual Studio Ultimate license that covers SQL Server 2012 and Share Point server 2013.
    We have also got a Amazon EC2 machine access to create a Xlarge box with Microsoft recommended Cores, Memory, storage for SINGLE INSTALLATION of SharePoint Server 2013 and SQL server database on Windows Server 2012 
    My queries are as follows
    Are the licenses above sufficient to go ahead with setting up the SP Server? or do i need any other licenses ?
    I would like to create local LDAP in amazon without connecting to the company active directory. Would this be possible? We have users from other locations(different countries) providing services to our company and we would like them to access this portal
    to share and access docuemnts without any network issue etc..
    Are there any known firewall issues with EC2 machines for share point deployment
    System requirements for single server installation (with or without BI reports)
    Please note this implementation is only for internal use by the test team and is not critical. Not a production implementation. 
    Is there any better solution?
    Much appreciate your help 
    Thanks
    Vara

    MSDN subscription licenses for SharePoint aren't, as far as i know, for use as production devices. This means that whilst you can use it for testing and development you can't use that license for the SharePoint server that you'll all be using.
    As such I think you will need to buy a SharePoint 2013 server license. The same goes for SQL, Windows etc.
    There is also the question of user licenses, ie. CALs. I don't remember if those come included as part of an MSDN subscription.
    2) Possibly. As long as Amazon can host a domain for you it should be possible.
    3) Pass. Microsoft prefer you to use Azure and most of my training and experience is with that.
    4) High. 4 cores, 24GB of RAM minimum.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx#hwforwebserver
    You'll either need a 2XLarge or a memory orientated box, in which case you won't have much storage space.
    Internal team infrastructure is still important. If you're using it enough to make it worth having then you need it there and running.
    Have you considered using Office 365?

  • On installation of Firefox 4 beta, it tells me that it won't run on my Mac. When I go to system requirements, it takes me to a page for Firefox3.6 requirements. Where can I find the requirements for the beta?

    The link to system requirements for Firefox 4 beta takes you to a page that gives you the requirements for Firefox 3.6 instead. I assume that the requirements for the beta are different as I can't seem to install the beta on my Macs. Where can I find the beta system requirements?

    I never expected Mozilla to neglect the users of Apple's PowerPC (PPC) computers, while still supporting much older operating environments such as Windows XP. So, I should just throw away a $6,000 system, which is still fast and functional, and contribute masses of heavy metals to land-fills because…?
    I'm hurt and confused after supporting Firefox for many years — installing and using it not only on my own computers but on most of my customers' computers. Now I have to tell my customers with PPC Macs they can't have a secure cross-platform browsing experience from Mozilla. They'll have to learn to use some other browser, or buy a new computer.
    If one doesn't buy a new computer every year, one doesn't deserve Firefox 4. This is sort of sounding more like a Microsoft™© doctrine. (But wait, I can still have Firefox 4 on a ''SERIOUSLY CRAPPY WINDBLOWS XP pile of rubbish?!'') Please open your eyes Mozilla. This just doesn't make sense.

  • Questions on the capabilities of the Adobe media server and system requirements

    Hello
    We need to send multiple video streams on different computers and screens in our organization. To do this, we need a dedicated server with the following functionality:
    - transmit up to ten (or even more) HD and FullHD streams simultaneously
    - manage playlists in real time without relaunching stream every time after adding items to the playlist
    - imposing of any text and video effects
    - use a variety of sources: a folder with pictures for the slideshow, video and audio files, video capture devices, video streaming from other resources
    Is Adobe media server suitable for our tasks?
    What are the system requirements (I do not mean minimum requierements)?
    If we buy adobe media server, will it be enough? Or we will have to buy additional software products to provide all the necessary functionality?
    Thank you.

    1 and 2 is possible
    3 is not
    4 AMS is not an encoder and does not encode or create streams.You have to use other software for that.Adobe FMLE is for live streaming...Use third part software like manycam(a virtual webcam on your machine) to generate video sources out of slide shows.

  • Questions about System Requirements for Adobe Air programs

         Earlier today I asked someone who runs Tweetdeck if they knew what the system requirements were for running Tweetdeck on my desktop (Windows)
    they gave me a link here: http://www.adobe.com/products/air/systemreqs/
    and I found this:
    Windows
    2.33GHz Intel® Pentium® 4, AMD Athlon® 64 2800+, or faster processor
    Microsoft® Windows® XP Home, Professional, or Tablet PC Edition with  Service Pack 3; Windows Server® 2003 or 2008; Windows Vista® Home  Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise (including 64-bit editions)  with Service Pack 2; or Windows 7

    Will me only having a 2.1GHz processor really affect how my performance is with Adobe Air products/apps in general?

    Yes- I've had some lower price pc's using an Adobe AIR app and can tell the difference.
    Computers where performance was a huge issue was Compaq CQ56 & Toshiba Satellite C655D
    These computers are under 2.0 GHz and the app seems to freeze up on occassion or run slower.

  • Adobe after effects cs6 system requirements

    Hi,
    I would like to purchase the adobe master collection cs6, but I wonder if my laptop matches the system requirements, specially my graphic card (with Adobe after effects or adobe premiere pro)
    my laptop:
    Win 7 64 bits
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU  
    P7450 2.13 GHz
    4 Go RAM
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series
    Could you please tell me your opinion?
    thanks a lot

    The graphics card will work for normal OpenGL acceleration, but not anything else. Anything with CUDA will require an NVidia card. Read the system specs here and here. What's not listed there, is not supported for GPU accelerated raytracing or Mercury Playback. It's that simple. All that aside, it's simply not gonna be fun to run eitehr of the programs on your system. The processor is just weak and 4GB is not much on a 64bit system.
