IDVD burning software missing from my applications

Help! How can I get IDVD reinstalled on my G4 Quicksilver 933 MHZ with a super drive? I had a repair done to it and the tech erased the hard disk and started over and somehow lost IDVD. I had updated it to OS X.3.9, but now I want to burn a DVD and IDVD is not installed. I don't know how to get it off the original disks that came with the computer. Can anyone give me some directions? It is an older version but I don't want to buy a new copy of ILife when the burning software obviously came with the computer.
Mac G4 Quicksilver   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Have Super Drive and no IDVD

Sue in IDVD 5 sent me a link to directions from an Apple tech article. It worked. I used the second of the two sets of directions since I had five "software restore" CDs. I made a folder on the desktop, copied each disk image in the configurations folder of each CD, and had to tweak the directions a bit. I am running Panther, so there is no "disk copy" but I clicked on the first disk image and it eventually opened and voila it had all the application software icons, I Photo, I Movie, etc. I copied the IDVD to the applications folder of the hard drive, so that it can update automatically.
I'm sure that others may have the same situation. The Apple directions actually said not to do this if you now have a newer OS than the original disks, but it never touches the operating system since you use only the software restore CDs. However, it took almost an hour for the whole operation. But, it worked, so it may work for someone else who doesn't want to buy another application.

    PS CS4 64-bit (in Web Premium CS4) on Win 7 PC.  I did a duplicate file check on my hdd and deleted dup files. Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

    Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

    Renée in the future when removing Photoshop CC please utilize the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Please run the uninstaller and then reinstall.  If you continue to face difficulty reinstalling Photoshop CC then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Error "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinsta

    I downloaded Photoshop Extended about a week ago... the second time I opened it, an error message came up saying "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application."  So I uninstalled it, then re-intalled it.  I was able to open it successfully after that - and I used it once.  I have just gone to open it again and it is reading the same error.  This is very frustrating - why is it doing this?  I don't want to have to unintall and reinstall everytime I want to use it.  Please help

    I want to bump this topic, again. So far the clues I've found are that there may be problems when the program was installed in one user account, and used in a different one. Perhaps there is a language setting, too. Can anyone give tips on this error for Mac, specifically Lion OS?

    I have been using Elements11 for almost a year. I am suddenly getting the message:Some of the application components are missing from the application directory. Please reinstall. I deleted old version, reinstalled on my Mac and now get this message:A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue. I also get the first message again.

    What a waste of space to paste the code.
    Why not ask in the iLife > iPhoto forum where your question belongs.

  • Cd burn software missing

    HELP ! i've a real headache here regarding the combo drive. i think i may have deleted the software that burns the audio onto cd, when i inserted a cd to burn it said "no burn software" and with that it would not eject the cd. i've tried all combos to eject (safe mode,single user,hold restart,command+e,emptied the pram,f12,first aid,check permissions,repair permissions etc and nothing at all works,i've scanned the forums but to no avail, there must be someone out there that has heard of this problem and solved it, any help would be greatly appreciated. mastercircuit (first time posting a problem and new user to apple forums)

    Hmmmm... No Eject.menu along with those others? I just checked and I have it right next to them in my Tiger. It's disquieting that something disappears like that.

    Still, holding down the mouse button at startup should eject the disk because those features work without an operating system even being present on the computer. If it isn't working it suggests something very fundamentally wrong - maybe a broken drive. Have you tried all those eject options, especially those that are done before the computer even starts booting properly?
    I think once you get the disk out it is time for:
    Boot from the installer disk, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
    Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

    From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."

  • Own CS5, will not open, message says, "Some of the application components core missing from the Application Directory.  Please reinstall the application".  What do I do?

    What now?  Can't get a phone number  to contact Adobe???????????????

    Hey Cal do u have a windows box or apple? Do you have the compressed files from the original download or a backup or image of your computer? Last question for now-please describe the events that led up to the error message in your original question. Like " my girlfriend was mad at me and while I was cleaning up some photos in CS5 she cut the electric to my desktop!"
    there is a chance if its a windows box and its running the OS win7, win 8, win8.1 and the systems restore setting turned on that if you can remember the last time(date) that CS5 worked: restore it(the computer) to that date or before that date. Also is there are some other options if its a mac but i need to know the operating system version and other info as to what other software is on your machine plus similar info like sw such as mackeeper, boot camp. parallels that another adobe community member(Bo LeBeau ) alluded to.
    Provide me more info and i can/will help you! maybe even a way to minimize your cost of paying for adobe support if that what you wanna do.
    Another vector that may be worth the effort is: find out generally or exactly what components are missing/corrupted from the application core sometimes there can be confusion(zip software posing as malware) or use in the mac and windows world of wrong procedures and use of decompression of compressed( ie winzip vs winrar) files that lead to CS5 working and all of a sudden not working. Last even installers can get flaky over time. So i know you wanna handle this so u can use CS5; but I need some more info. Have a good one! later and greater!

  • Files missing from Adobe Applications support folder

    I now receive this message when starting Photoshop CC:  One or more files in the Adobe Applications Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop.  After looking through some older posts on this, it looks like there is a way to just replace the missing folder.  I need help on what is the most current and best way to fix this problem.  I am running an iMac with OS X 10.8.5.  I did just uninstall CS4 from my machine this morning.  I am not sure if this plays a roll.

    You said there was an error (indicating missing files and that you need to reinstall), then you say it crashes.  Well, which is it?  And if there is a crash, what does the detailed crash report say?

  • Address Book missing from Running Applications

    I run Address Book and "Open at Login".  I'm running MacOS X Lion 10.7.4 and Address Book 6.1.2 on a MacBook Pro.  I have just recently noticed that though the Dock shows the little blue indicator that Address Book is running and the Ctrl-TAB shows that Address Book is running, there is no way to bring up Address Book's Window.  This started about a week or so ago.
    Activity Monitor window also does not show the Address Book in the processes list regardless of the filtering.
    Is there a new bug in Address Book?

    Hello:
    I do not know of any Address Book "bugs," old or new.
    You might try trashing a couple of preference files and restarting:
    com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist
    com.apple.addressbook.plist
    com.apple.addressbooksourcesync.plist
    If that does not help, try removing the application from your startup items, restart,and see if you can open the application.
