ILife '09 disk won't install on Lion - ejects!!!

I had to erase and reinstall Lion on my Macbook Pro. Now when I put my purchased iLife '09 software disk into drive it just ejects itself without installing. Any ideas why won't install as was working before Lion and I need iWeb?? 

Restart the computer first, see if that does anything.
Then try resetting the PRAM.

If that doesn't do it, you have to figure out if it is the DVD or computer.  Do different disks work?  Does the disk work in a different computer?
Did you look at the bottom of the disk for finger prints and scratches.  Be nice when you clean it.  Don't scratch it more...
Good luck!

  • PE 10 disks won't install on my PC

    I just bought Photoshop Elements 10 but the disks won't install.  I have a recent model HP laptop with 64 bit Windows 7 operating ystem.  When you insert the disks  ( disk 1 or 2) in the DVD recorder/player you can hear the disks being read for a while then the disk just stops and a message comes up asking what do I want to do with the blank disk. What do I need to do to get tfhe program to install??

    Have the disks replaced by the seller.  It's possible the disk is defective.  By the way, you only need disk 1 to install PSE on Windows.
    To immediately install PSE10, download the trial version from Adobe and use your purchased serial number to activate it.

    Made an Install DVD and booted with it. Got through the language choice and then chose reinstall OS X. The screen that came up had the same message as in the first post.

  • No Recovery - Mountain Lion won't install but Lion Recovery worked (until Mountain Lion messed it up).

    When I tried to install Mountain Lion it gave me the "this disk does not support some features, like FileVault or Recovery Mode..." message.  However, my Lion install at that point had a working Recovery Partition (I confirmed it after I got this first message - booted with it).  I also have a cloned backup so I clicked continue.  The install failed and gave the "No Recovery" message.  Then I tried to boot in Recovery Mode and a screen came up saying "Installing" and the giant X with what looked like a progress bar with diagonal blue lines moving left to right, but no "time remaining" or other info indicating it was doing anything.  I let this go on for about 10 or 15 minutes then restarted my computer.  In Disk Utility I repaired permissions and disk repair was ok. I'm not using RAID or BootCamp - just one partition (plus the Lion Recovery one.  The Mac is a newest model MacMini with an OWC SSD (I first thought the SSD might be the problem but it worked with Lion, so...)

    Just Follow this procedure...
    1.     Go To BOOT CAMP and create a BLANK PARTITION. Say a minimum of 10 GB. You do not have to install anything on this.
    2. After you create this, go back to ML installer and now you will see 2 HD's. one will be your main HD and the second one will be the one you just created.
    3. Install the ML OS X on the main hard drive. Once installed, reboot the machine go to DISK UTILITY and delete the blank partition you had created.
    4. So, now you have your HD at its full capacity.
    Try this it should work.

  • My applications disk won't install. Can anyone solve this problem?

    I've recently bought a refurbished MacBook Pro, however upon trying to install the applications using the applications disk, it repeatedly states 'installation failed' and advises me to contact the service provider. I have already installed the OSx Lion without any issues, however the issue with the applications disk remains unresolved. It appears to begin the installation process each time with a loading bar, but then always eventually says 'error installation failed'.
    I really really want to use the iLife applications that come with the MacBook Pro (main reason i bought it), hence why this is really irritating me. I will therefore be incredibly thankful if anyone can offer any solutions without a price tag, as I don't want to download from the app store when I'm meant to install them free and simply using this disk.

    My wife uses my Apple ID and password to download and install all her software because that way we only pay for it once and get essentially a family license. Otherwise we would each have to purchase and pay for our own copy. However, that only applies when we are purchasing software from the App Store or the iTunes store. We each have our own individual iCloud accounts where we store our personal Contact, Calendar, and other data. You can change the Apple ID on your wife's computer by going to System Preferences > Accounts and choosing her account then clicking on Apple ID: Set.
    Now if you want to make things more intertwined you and your wife can share your contacts, calendars etc with one another with read only or read write priveleges.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 won't install in Lion

    I am trying to install (from disk) Adobe CS5 Design Premium on an iMac running OSX Lion.
    The 'install' package is grayed out and, when clicked, gives the message 'You can't open the application Install because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.'
    CS5 is NOT a PowerPC application; it should be able to run under OSX 10.7.
    Does anyone have any idea why Lion is registering the installer as a PowerPC application?

    I've not had any issues installing any CS5 apps on Lion. You may find Adobe specific information on their forums at http://forums.adobe.com.
    Good luck with your installation. I've read a lot of negative comments about Adobe apps and Lion but I've not had a single problem.

  • WIndows 7 Won't Install On Lion?

    Hey there, I seem to be having trouble reinstalling Windows 7 after I moved to Lion and need help figuring it out. NOTE: Prior to Lion, I never had trouble installing Windows.
    Running late 2010 MacBook Pro. 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM.
    I clean installed Lion (by zeroing out all partitions, installing snow leopard, then moving to Lion). Now trying to install the 64-Bit version of Windows 7, it keeps freezing at the same location. It goes through the restart, and gets to the final step "completing installation" when it flashes a black screen then returns to a frozen screen. A little googling turned up that it doesn't like USB devices, so I unplugged everything, no dice. Someone suggested disabling the USB card entirely, but I don't know how to do that.
    If I get desperate, I might try the 32-Bit version, but I really want to avoid that because I use applications for work that are best 64-Bit.
    Any ideas?

    Move Lion to an external drive.
    Format the internal to one HFS volume
    Restore Lion
    Run Boot Camp Assistant
    Install Windows 7
    When you get to a place where Windows work, where Lion is happy, make system images of both so you can later use tools to restore each or either.
    I don't think at this point it should be hard to understand how to clone a Mac OS X volume.
    Wait for Boot Camp 4.1 and Lion 7.2 maybe.

  • Disk Repair before installing OSX Lion?

    Hi!
    I'm hoping somebody can help me out.
    I recently discovered my 27" iMac has a Disk Error that the Disk Utility couldn't repair without using my Original Software Disc. I did not have a chance to do this yet for fear that I may lose data before backing my machine up.
    I'd like to update to OSX Lion, do I need to resolve this error before updating or can I safely update my machine?
    Thanks!

    You need to handle the problem immediately! As a general rule of thumb NEVER attempt an update or upgrade on any system that isn't sound. Make sure it's working OK prior to updating, you will need to locate the original Install DVD, a Snow Leopard upgrade DVD or if you have a bootable clone external HD you can boot from that and use it to run Repair Disk.  However I would recommend using the original install DVD that shipped with the computer and using Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode to see if your HD is healthy. If it isn't then it should be replaced immediately.

  • MAC OS X Snow Leopard install disk won't install "with this version"

    I am trying to get ready for the Snow Leopard install disk to migrate from Mobile Me to ICloud. However, the disk install I received to start the process won't allow me to install saying I have the incorrect version to do so. I am up to date in all my software installs. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    If you have an iMac running 10.7.4 as it says in your profile, why are you installing Snow Leopard?  If this is a different computer then it would really, really help to know something about it.

  • ILife '04 disk will not install

    When I attempted to install iLife 04 on my new 2nd hard drive, I get an error message saying "cannot install on this computer because iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand, iMovie" is open. None of the apps are open. I rebooted, tried again and got the same message. The disk is a DVD. I'm baffled as usual.

    If you can't open iTunes from the Dock (the "toolbar at the bottom of the desktop" that you referred to), then drag the "?" icon that represents it off the Dock onto the desktop background and drop it. It will disappear. Open your Applications folder, find iTunes inside it, and drag the iTunes icon onto the Dock and drop it there. Can you now click on the new iTunes icon in the Dock and open iTunes? If so, iTunes Helper will also open with it.

  • Recovery Disks won't install to new HD

    Hello, all,
    My laptop froze up last week and wouldn't boot to the OS. Laptop is an HP Pavillion g6-1b60us, running Windows 7. I've tried a number of things, including a new hard drive, the recovery partition, recovery CDs, standard OS install discs, and testing the HD and memory in BIOS. All efforts are detailed below, sorry for the length, but I'm in Day 8 of trying to fix this.
    I first tried restoring from the recovery partition, but after restoring, it told me on start up it couldn't find the boot manager.
    I then tried installing Windows Vista from a standalone install CD (not an upgrade). Managed to boot it to Vista doing this, but when I tried to upgrade to Windows 8, the computer wouldn't complete the install on reboot.
    I then ordered recovery disks from HP. Same problem as recovering from the recovery partition.
    I opened up the computer and reseated the hard drive and ram.
    I then used the BIOS to test the hard drive and the memory. Memory test came back fine, hard drive came back with an error.
    Bought a new hard drive, same size, same brand. (500GB) I tried using the recovery disks to install the OS on the new drive. I consistently got errors saying files could not be copied to the hard drive in the first step.
    Then tried installing Windows Vista, also got errors saying it wouldn't copy over.
    Tested the hard drive in the BIOS, came back fine. 
    I then tried installing the OS to the original hard drive and cloning the drive to the new drive in Linux. This failed as well. For reference, the computer will run Linux perfectly using a USB drive.
    I'm now at the end of my rope. Is there a chance the new drive is just a lemon and picking up a new one will fix this? Is there something with the recovery CDs that make them reject new drives? Any advice anyone has would be very helpful.
    Thanks in advance!

    Got a new hard drive (same size, different brand). Installed perfectly. 
    For some reason, the new HGST 500GB travelstar just wouldn't work, which is odd since the original is a Hitachi as well. The drive worked fine as an external, etc, and tested fine, so who knows. Kept getting the error "failed to create E:\sdv.flg".
    Got it running just fine on a  Toshiba 500gb.

  • Updates or install of applications from disk won't install.

    Hello.
    Tried running a software update on my recently already archived and installed Macbook. Neither the Safari or iTunes would install. Tried installing older version of iTunes (deleted iTunes 8 due to problems) and that wont work. When I did a software update, it did manage to update a security feature but not the applications. I have repaired disk permissions and tried installing again and no joy. I don't want to have to archive everything again. Please help.
    LadyCoco.

    Hi LadyCoco, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    To install earlier versions of APPs, or to have Software Update recognize you're not up to date, you generally have to delete the PKG stub in Library>Receipts for that item.

  • ACR 6.7RC1 won't install (Mac Lion)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install ACR 6.7RC1 on my Lion, but all I get is "Adobe Application Manager (Not Responding)".
    This happens with ACR install package and when I try to run "updates..." from Photoshop Help menu.
    I don't have a clue, what broke it. Anybody else having same problems?

    How are you transferring the files to the computer? 
    There is an issue with files transferred to the computer via Nikon Transfer.  It is an obsolete product and messes with the metadata so Adobe products cannot recognize the files as from the D800.  The Nikon-recommended solution is to use NX2 to transfer the files if you are wanting to do some novel renaming or whatever.  Bridge also has a powerful renaming function.

  • Aperture 3 won't install on Lion

    I have been using my Aperture 3 since it came out on my Snow Leopard. I install Lion and try to install everything back on and it fails.
    I cant do without my Aperture 3.
    I read that Final Cut Pro 4 is doing this so I trashed Final Cut. Not true.
    Its still coming up as a fail please help.
    I first downloaded Aperture via my hard drive. It didnt except the serial number I had (I did purchase it)
    When it didnt except it I then paniced and downloaded the trial. Needed it urgently (Im a photographer)
    Now when I try downloading it again it just keeps failing. Some one please help.

    Actually he did get an email that notified him that a purchase was made with his accoun on a device/computer that hadn't been authorized. He did do authorize it, in iTunes.
    Did you buy from the iTunes Store instead of the AppStore? There is an IOS application called "Large Aperture" at the iTunes Store, but that is not the MacOS Version of Aperture. I never needed to authorize a computer to buy from the App Store, I sign into my account before I buy, but that is not tied to the computer in any way.
