I can't find iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, or iWeb

I just bought a used iMac G4 with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther on it and it was used badly I gues because all this junk was loaded on it but I can't find a reason why iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, etc. were not loaded on my Mac.

Hi,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussions Forums!
Your post sounds as if you do not have the original disks or a retail copy of Panther 10.3, correct?
The retail Panther disks do have iLife apps included. My set (retail box 10.3.2) came with iLife apps iMovie 3, iPhoto 2, iTunes 4.
When the original owner purchased the iMac G4 it would have had the apps bundled with it. If they are missing now it sounds like the owner deleted them from the disk or did not install them. Originally, I think, iDvD only came on Macs with superdrives.
If you let us know which disks you have, if any, perhaps we can let you know if you can install any of the iLife applications from them.

I have a 2011 MacbookPro. I'm trying to burn an iMovie trailer onto a DVD that will work on a TV. When I go to "share" as instructed, it prepares the movie but then can't find iDVD on my computer. Help!

iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:

Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

Cannot burn an iMovie project to a DVD because the computer can't find iDVD. Anyone know how to accomplish this task.

Macs don't come bundled with iDVD anymore. If you have an older Mac that came with an iLife disk, you can install iDVD from that.
If your Mac didn't come with iDVD, you can still find iLife '11 disks in some stores.
There are other programs that can create DVDs, but I've never used them. From what I've heard, they're not as good as iDVD.

Where can i find iDVD

Where can i find iDVD ? for Mac OS X 10.7.5

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Can I find an iphoto events in time machine

Using a macbook pro with Lion 10.7 how can I find an iphoto event in time machine hard drive back up. When I look in picture folder for a back up date I see some individual pictures and an icon for iphoto library. I thought clicking on that would show me iphoto application with the events just as it looks in current time only with the events of the past date. It does not.

Not really - you need to restore the iPhoto library then open it with iPhoto - iPhoto can not access TM backups - they have to be restored first

I set my iPhoto to save photos to a non-default location. Now I can't find my iPhoto albums in iTunes, even when looking in my non-default location in the "Sync Photos from" menu. How do I fix this?

When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:
Click to view full size
All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).
OT

How do you save your photos in iPhoto and be able to find the photos when you are in different programs. When i try to find them I can only find the iPhotos not the individual photos.

Use the media browser. In every open/attach window in tithe lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

Where can i find my iphoto library?

After recovering my hard disk (erasing everything because of performance issues) and reinstalling everything from Time Machine i can not find my iPhoto library anymore. I know it has to be somewhere because every single thing was copied correctly so i am also assuming iPhoto library would be copied correctly. However i can not find it in finder (it is not in the default location and i know it never was).
Does somebody know where to look and how to find it?

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and tell us how many libraries are listed in the following window:
Is there one shown? If not download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. There are files common to all versions of iPhoto libraries with that as part of the file name..
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

Your Mac should have come with two gray disks, one of which was labelled "Applications Install DVD." That disk contains your iLife apps that came bundled with the machine.

Is this external drive a Time Machine backup?
Then find what you want using Time Machine (or whatever application you used to make the backup).
Your iPhoto pictures are in the iPhoto library in Users/Pictures.

I downloaded yosemite and the new version of photos and now i can not find my iPhotos

I downloaded yosemite and the new photos. now i can not find my iPhotos. It won't let me open the old app and it says that its not compatible with yosemite. HELP! how do I retrieve my old photos??

iPhotos has been replaced with a new app called Photos. If it completed migrating your iPhoto Library, all your images are now also in Photos Library(Events are now Albums in a folder named iPhoto Events.
iPhoto and iPhoto Library remain on your drive and work as before.

IDVD is sold separately. (There are no realistic alternatives to iDVD.)
You'll find it on the iLife 11 disc. Once installed Apple's website will update it to the latest version automatically.
