ILife 06 installation disc won't run/error message

Hi,
a few months ago we bought a macbook which came with iLife 06. The installation disc for iLife says good for 5 computers in the same household. When I try to install if on our older G4, (running 10.4.8), I put the disc in and I get the following error message when I click on the iLife 06 icon:
"there is no default application specified to open the object "iLife 06"
I've tried repairing permissions, but same thing. Not sure where to go from here...any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
meganou
macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

The readme on the install disc says PPC or Intel-based
That answers that query.
Am I in the right forum..?
This is as good as any, since there isn't a dedicated forum to iLife installatiion probems.
Since you get the same result in a new admin account, you might consider reinstalling the latest COMBO update for your machine, restarting, repairing permissions with Disk Utility, and trying again. Report back.

  • ITunes won't run - error message

    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I have tried many suggestions - Turning off Virus protection (McAfee), Running Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and destroy, and even doing a system restore.
    Upon trying to do a system restore i noticed that my computer has jumped ahead to the year 2165.
    How is this possible? What would cause this?
    Also, when i try to update definitions in my spyware programs, the process fails.
    I need help. No viruses are detected when i run any programs.

    well done uproom_stares!
    apologies for the nosy question, but what viruses did the scan pick up?
    i've seen cases of W32.Pinfi/Win32.Parite.A cause people vaguely similar sorts of grief:
    W32.Pinfi
    ... but it's not particularly easy to diagnose (from our end of things) because the symptoms aren't tremendously consistent. (i think they might end up depending on what particular .exe files get eaten by a particular infection on a particular machine.)

    Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
    If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
    Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

  • When installing Server 2008 Datacenter from disc, I get the error message "Windows could not parse or process the unattent answer file for pass [specialize].

    This is a clean install from s disc onto a 3TB GPT drive. This is for testing. I'm not concerned with finding a more practical solution for this installation.
    There is no image or answer file involved. But at the "Completing Installation" phase, I receive this error message about an answer file.
    Has anyone else expecrienced this problem? The only results I find here are regarding actual imaging with answer files.
    EDIT: [Redacted]
    EDIT 2: Since this now happens with every single installation of Server 2008 on this system, I feel the need to keep this open and elaborate on my situation.
    I originally installed Server 2008 on the 2TB partition of this 3TB drive. The partition type was MBR. I reinstalled it (there was a false alarm for malicious software) since it was a fresh install without updates or anything else installed. And for the
    second time, it installed fine.
    I decided to make the most of my 3TB drive and try GPT partitioning. So I went into the command prompt > diskpart > ran "clean" on the disk, then "convert GPT"
    That is when I tried another install of Server 2008 and received this error message about an answer file.
    I decided to convert it back to MBR and get on with what I wanted to test in the first place. So I went into Diskpart again, ran "clean", rand "convert MBR" and started the install. But this resulted in the same error message about an
    answer file.
    I went back to Diskpart, "clean"ed the disk, ran "convert dynamic" to make sure it was dynamic, then tried the install again, with the same result.
    Now, I've tried installing on the disk as GPT, MBR basic and MBR dynamic. I've tried a different installation disc, as well. I got the same result. At this point, I'm going to switch hard drives, but I'm still open to input. Thanks for reading!

    Hi,
    As you swapped the hard disk, whether the same issue occurs again if you redo the same steps?
    I asked "OEM or retail" because of this known issue:
    "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" error message when you perform an in-place upgrade in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2425962
    An answer file may already contain in the disc which causes the issue.
    If issue still exists you can click Shift + F10 during the installation process to see the log. Check if the installation error for detailed information.

  • CS3 installs but won't run

    Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
    My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
    When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
    I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
    I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
    I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
    I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
    The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
    We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
    So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
    errrrr
    Anybody have any clues on this?

    Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
    I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
    And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
    Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
    Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
    Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
    Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
    I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
    The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
    I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
    They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
    The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
    The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
    Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
    And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
    Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
    Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
    Not sure what my next move is.

  • Trying to install windows 7, installation disc won't eject when it needs to. Help please?!?!?!

    When setting up bootcamp I install windows 7, it then asks me to eject the installation disc to continue the installation but at this point the disc will NOT eject. Help please?!?!?!
    If I cancel the installation it'll eject the disc but it is at this point that I need to in order to continue and it just won't eject. I've tried the eject button, cmd E, starting again but I don't seem to be getting anywhere :s

    Sorry I'm a little late, my e-mail notifications died, I was wondering why it was so quiet. Here I thought I was getting better at this.
    Have you tried the USB thumb drive W7 installer way? I know 10.7 has an option now for installing a W7 installer iso onto a USB thumb drive but I don't know if 10.6 does. Search Google/yahoo for more information. Basically just make an iso of the W7 installer and copy it to the USB drive and it will boot via USB.
    At least I think yours can? Not sure which models work.
    Have you tried one of those CD disk cleaners? I bought one years ago and worked like a charm. (if it's dirty) It has a row of real fine bristles.
    Other then that you may have a dying drive?
    As far as games, make sure they are updated to run W7, other then that, that's Windows for ya.....

  • Help: Lenovo N500 will not start, product recovery disc won't run

    Hi. I am a bit of a laptop dunce so excuse me. My Lenovo N500 has been shutting itself down and not always restarting and the last time I tried a reinstall through the on board system but after a day and a half it was stuck and not changing so I turned it off. Clearly a mistake.
    Now when I try to turn it on I get a black screen
    File:\Boot\NCR
    Status 0xc000000f
    Info An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
    It says to insert Windows installation disc and restart but that just circles back to same screen. I have tried the 2 supplied disks. One called "product recovery CD for lenovo N500 Type 4233" (which is the right one I think) and one called "Rescue and recovery disc for use with Microsoft Windows XP" (pretty sure I have Vista and this disc was supplied for people who wanted to get back to XP.
    I have tried pressing F8 and F11 to no avail (makes a nasty loud hissing sound).
    Any ideas?

    hi Cj75,
    Can you try if the computer have the WinRE Active
    Keep on tapping the F8 key once you power on the system. Then select the Repair your computer option from the boot menu that appears. 
    WinRE photo (http://media.bestofmicro.com/win,B-8-177956-13.jpg)
    If You were able to boot to WinRE
    >In the System Recovery Options dialog box, Try running system restore first to a known good Date where your system state was fine.
    If system restore fails.
    >Try to do this to manually rebuild the BCD
    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt. 
    Type BOOTREC /FIXMBR, and then press ENTER. 
    Type BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, and then press ENTER. 
    Type BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, and then press ENTER. 
     If this still failed I believe you really have to Reinstall Windows on this
    Try contacting Support in your Are to Order a recovery CD (Fees may apply)

  • Photoshop CS3 installs but won't run on new OS install

    Hello,
    I've been searching through the forums and have seen some users with a similar problem, but haven't found any info that's relevant to my situation.
    I have done a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and decided to install a brand-new copy of CS3 at the same time.
    This computer is totally fresh - there are no printers, no TWAIN drivers, no funny fonts or games installed. The only software on this machine is Windows and whatever updates Windows Update has pushed out.
    The Photoshop installer runs fine - no crashes or error messages. However, when I try to start up Photoshop, I just get the outer frame of the app window and (usually) the File / Edit / Image / Layer... menu bar. There is no splash screen, and no palettes appear. If I click anywhere in the app window, the menu bar disappears and the title bar says "Not responding".
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the DVD and the web download. I've tried selecting the "repair" option on the install screen. I've tried downloading and installing the 10.0.1 update.
    I tried installing Lightroom and Reader to see if those work (they do).
    I tried installing the latest video driver for my gfx card.
    None of these change the behaviour I've been seeing at all. I opened a support case with Adobe about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.
    Any thoughts? I was able to run PS CS1 on this computer just fine before I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
    Thanks,
    Thomas Park

    Hi Guys,
    Ive got the same problems as you, Win XP SP2 on RAID 1 hard disk set on an AMD raid controller, but I have no driver to roll-back to.
    Ive installed Photoshop CS3 and also Acrobat Standard 8 (which used to run fine on an old system), but all i get now is the blank window with the menu and title bar and thats all.
    Can some one help?  (will this licensing patch resolve the issue - and where can i get it from?)
    Thanks

  • ITunes / Quicktime won't install - error message during in installation

    My computer, a Dell running with Windows Vista, has not been able to have iTunes & Quicktime installed on it in months. I've attempted to install it a countless number of times & tried a variety of things with my computer to install it but it just doesn't work - I get the same error message everytime. I can't even remember what happened to make it start acting so ridiculous.
    It always starts out looking good and everything seems to be working pretty well, the green bar filling up pretty quickly, but then the 'Status' gets to about 'Publishing product information' and the error message pops up and I can't install it. It goes along the lines of "A error occurred during the installation of assembly: ..." then it goes on to say 'Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F'. Here's a screenshot of the error message with the long whatever on it:
    http://i46.tinypic.com/qoesm1.png
    I believe I get the same message even when I attempt to download the two software separately (iTunes & Quicktime).
    Can any one tell me what needs to be done? I have no idea what to try anymore. All help will be much appreciated. Thank you .
    P.S.: If it helps, I can't really reinstall Internet Explorer (removed it when I downloaded Firefox).

    Thanks!
    (3) And I do not believe I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 installed on this computer, as I just tried to install it and I received this error message: http://i45.tinypic.com/a3m7bc.png
    Okay ... that rules out one possible treatment. Sometimes people with the redistributable installed can get past this by applying a security update for it ... but it looks like the same sorts of problems are preventing it from installing.
    (2) And last time I checked my History I had several failures I believe, however now I only see one failed update, that being Update for Windows (KB944036). The error code listed 8000FFFF. Apparently it's an update for Internet Explorer 8.
    The other primary strategy we (I?) have for dealing with these is to attempt to treat any underlying issues on the PC that prevent Windows Updates from installing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that your 8000FFFF is related to your IE being uninstalled, I think we'd probably better try following up on the following document:
    [Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: 8000FFFF|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414]
    After applying those measures, do your Windows update and/or iTunes installation failures clear up?
