ILife 11 Install on OS 10.6.8

I have an old iMac i use to put my music and movies on it to stream to my apple tv and to put my photos on it. I had to reset the computer because it was having problems. Now when i am trying to install iLife 11, it says there is an error installing and all i need it iPhoto.
The minimum system requirements for the software are:
1 GB of ram: Requirement Met
Running OS 10.6.3 or later: Requirement Met
5GB of Hard Drive Space: Requirement Met
Intel Processor: Requirement Met
DVD drive for install: Requirement Met
Internet Access: Requirement Met
What do i need to do to get iPhoto to work??

iLife 11 was specifically designed for SnowLeopard and as all requirements are met, there should be no problem.
So the only trouble might be the DVD itself or the optical drive : is the disk scratched ?
You might be able to create a image from the disk , if there is only minimal surface scratches, so the optical drive is bypassed in the install process : insert the DVD but do nothing else with it - launch disk utility and select "create new image -> DVD Master " - this creates a .cdr file that you can double click to mount it ot burn it to a new writeable DVD.

DVD drive won't recognize iLife '08 install CD

First generation G5, Mac OS 10.4.11
When I insert the install CD for iLife '08 into the drive, it spins away for about a minute and then ejects it with no error message. The same install CD works fine on my laptop. Other install CD's work on this same G5.
Anything I can try to get my Mac to open the iLife '08 install CD? If not, can I download the iLife '08 install files without having to purchase it again?
Thanks.

Hi Brian White3
Do you have another mac?. .I would try to transfer the files from one mac to the other one . I did that for dvd studio pro and it worked out fine . If you have a router setup in your house turn on the file sharing option . You can also try to run your other mac to transfer the files too. I can also tell to use a back up drive and load the file to it . As for why it wont load off the dvd Im not for sure on that one .
Let me no if you need more help.

I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

Leopard Upgrade, ILife 09 Install On A PowerPC G4

Hi.
I have a PowerPC G4 1.25 GHz Mac Mini. with 1 GB DDR SDRAM. The internal HD is 40 GB with only 9.5 GB still free. It is up to date, running 10.4.11 currently.
I bought the Mac Box Set (Leopard, iLife 09 and iWork 09). What I am thinking of doing is to do a clean install by erasing and installing Leopard. (This Mac Mini originally came with panther and was upgraded to Tiger. Seemed like a good idea to clear the cruft with an erase and install.)
The specs and user comments suggests that this should work fine. Is there anything I need to know or do before I do the erase and install?
Everything is backed up, so that is taken care of.
After installing Leopard, I would like to install the iLife 09. Will this be okay? Will the iLife 09 install on a PowerPC mac? Looking at the specs, iMovie 09 and Garageband 09 seem to require an intel processor. Does this mean that these two apps will not install on my powerPC Mac Mini from the iLife dvd? Or, will they install but be sort of stripped down, perhaps missing some of their features.
What problems, if any, do you foresee in this? Is there anything that I need to know before starting? Any advice, including a walk through description would be really, really appreciated. Thanks so much.

Oh... but look at the prices for internal Hard Drives! Hmm... could replace the 40 Gig internal with a new, larger one. Wonder if that would that be worth it. What do you think? Is there anything to be aware of in replacing the internal Hard Drive?
Assuming you plan on keeping the "old" Mini around for a while, a new hard drive is not a bad idea. Not only will you get a lot more space for files, you will probably see a noticeable improvement in responsiveness, especially if you get a 7200 rpm model. This is because a newer drive will almost certainly have inherently better performance characteristics than the original (lower average seek time, a larger cache & improved caching algorithms, etc.) and because the same amount of file data can be concentrated into a smaller physical area of the drive, reducing the number of track seeks the drive has to perform. A side benefit is that the new drive may even use less energy that the older, smaller one & thus your Mini will run cooler.
This will not make the old soldier comparable to a newer Mac with a faster architecture, but it is likely to result in noticeably if not dramatically faster boot times & application launches, shorter waits while the "spinning beach ball" is displayed, & quicker switches between running applications -- basically anything that requires reading from or writing to the drive.
Things to be aware of include making sure you get a drive with the right interface: you do not want a Serial ATA interface (often referred to as "SATA") but the older Ultra ATA kind (now often referred to as "PATA," for parallel ATA). Almost any new PATA drive will be either ATA-6 (also called ATA/100) or ATA-7 (also called ATA/133). Either one is a good choice. ATA-7 is potentially faster but the Mini's controller may not support it. If so, it will operate at the fastest ATA level it supports. Avoid ATA-5 (also called ATA/66) because the drive will be older & less apt to have the latest performance improvements.
If possible, get the specs for the original drive & make sure the power requirements for the new one are lower. They probably will be because lower energy consumption has become increasingly important over the last few years, but it never hurts to check.
I assume from the "putty knife" comment that you are familiar with opening the Mini & any reassembly steps necessary to restore its heat sinking ability to factory standards. If not, either learn about them or don't try this mod.
Also remember that you could just add an external drive instead, but if you like DIY projects or the idea of retaining the one-box form factor, this is a viable alternative.

ILife '06 install disk not recognized

I have a DVD drive on PowerBook G4, but my computer doesn't recognize the iLife '06 Install Disc. The Menu comes up, but the icon that is usually an open box is instead a blank document. How can I change this and which app. will open it?

I tried creating a disk image to copy the second install disk as you suggested, but about halfway through the process, I got this error message:
"Stop. Input/Output Error"
Does this confirm that the disk itself is corrupt? I followed the step-by-step instructions on the Apple support pages, just to be sure I did everything right.
Sooo, if the CD has some problem with it, and yet my G4 can read it (but apparently cannot copy it), I have another question:
Will I be able to run the installer on my G4 while using the iBook as my Target Disk ? I can't figure out how that would work. (I already have a firewire connection between the two computers.)
Thanks for your help.

ILife '09 Install Just iPhoto

Is there a way to install just iPhoto '09 from the iLife '09 Install Disk. If so, how? I would like to install it on an external HD partition that has Leopard on it.

Look in your pictures folder. There you will find the iPhoto Libary. Simply copy this library to the new computer's pictures folder.
If you have already run iPhoto on the new computer you might need to delete the iPhoto Library that is there. (Assuming that there is nothing in that library that you want to keep!!!!)
When you open iPhoto on the new machine it will convert your old library to the new format.
If you have stuff in the existing Leopard library you want to keep, things get a bit more complicated.

IMovie won't open after iLife 08 install

I just recently purchased iLife 08 and installed it on my computer. iMovie was working fine before, but now I just get a message that says that it quit unexpectedly. It won't even open. When I clicked on report it said EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) along with a bunch of other stuff. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a bad copy. I have tried installing it 3 times, but same thing each time.
Thanks

ILife '11 installed and now iPhoto won't open, "damaged or incomplete".

I was unable to use iDVD after having Mountain Lion installed. I had an iLife '11 disk and I installed it. I didn't see any changes in the application folder so I used the iLife '11 disk again, found the iDVD application and selectively installed it. Now I have and iPhoto icon with a white circle crossed out and when I try to open iPhoto, I get the message, "You can’t open the application “iPhoto.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete."
I don't know what version of iPhoto I have because there are just two dashes after the "version" when I Right Click and select "Get info" on the iPhoto.app line in Finder.
I have been reading support blogs for hours last night and this morning. I am afraid to try any of the fixes because I have already caused problems for myself and my problem doesn't seem to exactly match anyone elses problem, but seems to be a mixture of more than one problem.
I have a backup harddisk that was set to the time machine before I had my computer repaired. It only backs up to Dec 2, 2013. I have not hooked it up again yet out of fear that it will start backing up and mixing old with new. I had Lion before the repair (new video disk) and when I received the computer, Mountain Lion was installed. This was last week. I specifically asked that Mavericks not be installed because I was reading so much unhappiness with it.
So - any help extremely appreciated. I am frozen.

You need to reinstall. There is no choice.
Note the instructions below for reinstalling from Disk:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
I specifically asked that Mavericks not be installed because I was reading so much unhappiness with it.
There is much unhappiness with every version of every Os and App everr released - roll back to the release of Mountain Lion and you'll see exactly the same type of commentary. In the main, much of this commentary is useless.
The problems are manifold: for a start, happy people are less likely to review, unhappy people are much more inclined to. That's why we don't have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum from all the people who have no problems saying "look I have no problems". Unhappy people get cross and are more likely to express that anger in negative reviews.
Then what about the reviewer? What is his or her knowledge, experience and skill level? No doubt they are having problems, and real ones, but how do you know if their issues are problems with the app, their own inexperience, third party conflicts and so on. I've seen people on here claim the fact that iPhoto won't edit video is a bug. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from folks on here who are certain they've found a bug, only for their glitch to be resolved. No review is worth anything unless you know something of the reviewer, his or her knowledge and experience.
So frankly, I never bother with those reviews on any such stores, not just iPhoto on the Mac App Store.

Moving iLife 08 install from one machine to another (with a twist)

Greetings. I have a complete backup of all the files from an iMac I recently sold. I had purchased a single user version of iLife 08 which is what is on the backup. Before selling the iMac, I reformatted the drive and put iLife 06 and Tiger back on it, keeping the iLife 08 update for myself.
I have misplaced my iLife 08 program disk. It was the single user retail SKU of iLife 08 upgrade. I do have a complete backup from a PPC-based iMac that it had been installed on. I know the iLife 08 applications are universal since by trial and error I moved one app over to my new machine manually from the backup.
I have a MacBook that originally shipped with Tiger. I bought a single user update to Leopard and installed that using erase and install. All good so far. Of course, this wiped out the iLife 06 that had been on the MacBook w/Tiger, but I have a backup of it. I also have the backup of my iLife 08. Both the Leopard and iLife 08 are legal copies obtained at retail. I have the leopard DVD but can't find ilife 08.
I am sure I can somehow handpick the files from the iMac backup to put iLife 08 onto the Leopard-powered MacBook. I've already spend hours looking for the DVD but in the process of moving and just can't find it. So my question is the following:
What directories do I need to copy from my backup to bring iLife 08 to life on the MacBook? I moved GarageBand over and by watching error messages figured out what to move, but would rather not go through this for all the apps!
I am a loyal Mac user with quite a collection including iMacs, Minis, MacBook, had a couple of MacBook pros, and I've even got two XServes in production! I am evaluating Leopard and iLife 08 for use across the board. So far having some challenges with Leopard and web development tools preventing me from upgrading across the board. But for now this one MacBook will be my Leopard test bed.
Help or links to places with this info appreciated. I will keep looking for that darned DVD in the meantime.

yeh true the firewire drive doesnt need to be involved in the story at all... the only reason it is because I already backup my MBP to a firewire drive anyway - so I already have the new system/apps on that FW drive.
I already have my mac pro's current system drive backed up to yet another FW drive, so yea if it does all go wrong I dont even need to do an archive and install, I can directly boot from the old FW drive.
"This should work ok. I have a system on a firewire drive, and I can use it to boot up computer A or to boot up computer B, no problem. They are very different computers. So the same system can start up two very different computers."
Thats very reassuring. If Apple does not disencourage that type of usage then I guess that answers my question. I dont know much about the internal workings of OSX, but was concerned that maybe when installing from the DVDs only the relevant drivers or kernel or something would be installed - etc especially regarding 2core MBP vs. 8core mac pro (it would still work when copying over the system, but not fully optimally) - maybe what I said is total bullcr*p, I dunno! anyways, I will try and do some benchmarks etc and put it through some testing when I get some time - I have my old FW backup to fall back to so its cool...

Post iLife 08 install issue with iTunes, need details please for install

Like others in this discussion area after installing iLife '08 I received the following message after I then tried to open iTunes...
"This copy of iTunes is corrupt or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
This problem occurred on the family machine, a family with two teenagers with iPods. Get my drift? Lots of music we don't want to risk losing. Shortly after this problem arose I was in the local Apple Store and was advised as to best perform the recommended installation. To avoid losing the music the guy said to drag the music file over to my external drive, install the latest iTunes and then drag the music back.
Questions;
Is my memory correct, was it the music folder?, or perhaps the library I want to drag?
What about the Artwork and/or Mobile Apps folders?
I guess I need to do this for each user correct?
Thanks for your help,
Stuart

I'm having the same problem. I did notice on the install disk when I went to re-install it that it said 0 KB for iTunes on the install disk. I think that the install disk is the problem. Have you had any results from all this.
Thanks,
Dave

ILife '06 Install problems on OS X 10.5.6

Recently I decided to format my internal HD. It had become sluggish, and hadn't been cleaned up in 2 years since I bought it (iMac 20" 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
I chose to completely wipe out the drive (I have 6 external Firewire drives for file and back up so didn't care).
Finished doing all my updates after formating and reinstalling OS X. Re-Installed all my standard app's (Adobe, etc). Did the updates for all of them.
The only thing I was missing was iLife.
I have the original iLife '06 disc. So I pulled it out, pop it in, and go through the windows etc, until I have chosen my internal drive to install to. I then choose customize - I don't use Garage Band or iWeb, and just wanted to install iMovie and iDVD.
Under customize, Garageband is check-marked, as is iWeb, and their respective sub folders.
But iMovie, iDVD and iTunes are all grayed out, with no possibility to select them.
Does this mean Apple is preventing me from using installing iLife '06 to 10.5.6? I had it on the Macintosh before I re-formated, with no problems.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Ahh Brie - Brother/sister, you are a life saviour. That 100% solved the issue. I had pretty much done a complete re-install, but yes, I did keep some of my library files, since I was lazy in terms of redoing bookmarks, calendars, mail etc. So I did keep many additional files. Sure enough, following your tip, it's installing fully as we speak.
Thanks ever so much. I didn't think I would get anyone giving me an answer, let alone one so quickly.
Thanks again.

HT4718 If I Restore My Mid-2009 MacBook Pro using Recovery Utility, will iLife be installed?

I'm selling my MacBook Pro and I'm going to use Recovery Utility to restore it. It is running OS X Mountain Lion. After I re-install OS X will iLife be on the machine? The person I'm selling it to needed that on there.

If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to use them to install the default OS X that came with the Mac. Mountain Lion is registered to your Apple ID and the owner won't be able to reinstall it if you give the computer with Mountain Lion.
After you erase the hard disk and install OS X, iLife won't be installed, so the owner has to use the Applications disc that came with the computer to install iLife. Finally, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version

Ilife not installing from Software install DVD

Hi,
I have a G5 that came preinstalled with 10.3 and the iLife programs (iphoto, iDVD, etc). Over time, I upgraded to 10.3.9. Recently my computer was having problems, so I did an erase and install from the original Software install and restore DVD to 10.3 (my computer came with one dvd). Now my computer has iphoto 2.0 and no iDVD. I can't open iphoto because i had been using a more recent version. I'm pretty sure my computer came with the iLife 04 apps, why won't it install them from the original software DVD?
Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks, that was helpful. I was able to see that my Installation install and restore DVD only has iPhoto 2, and no iDVD.
I found the box that my computer came in and it says that I should have the iLife 04 programs. The only thing I can figure is that I got a seperate iLife DVD with the computer, and have lost it. I can't think of any reason that software would be missing from the install DVD.

ILife 04 install

I have spent the last three weeks trying to order a photobook, but after repeated corespondence with mac support I finally found out that my old iMac and system can't order from anywhere other that US or Canada. So, the answer I think is to install the latest version of iLife that my system will work with, that is iLife 04 (I think ). So I bought iLife 04 on ebay, but everytime I try to install it, I get a message telling me that I am running one or more of the applications,and it cannot install until these applications are shut down. I was not running anything, I restarted and installed again ....... same message, I used force quit and it told me that nothing except finder was running, yet when I tried to install.......same message. Can somebody please help.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You are saying:
"I am running one or more of the applications,and it cannot install until these applications are shut down"
1. Press "Command" (Apple) key and "Tab" to see what apps. are running.
2. Any open and running applications will be listed in icon form, if you see any that belong to iLife then click on that icon in the dock, (if it's there) to select it and press "Command" and "Q" to quit.
3. If the icon is not in the dock - open Finder > your computer name > Applications > and select the iLife folder to open and find the running app. - as noted when checking at 1.
4. Click on the app. to select it and press "Command + Q" to quit it.
That should allow you now to upgrade your iLife app.
By the way, you should still be able to use your older version - (iLife 02 I believe) - for a short while anyway! as stated here ..
"Can I place orders using iPhoto 2?
As of October 15, 2007, the ordering of books or prints will no longer be supported using iPhoto 2. >To order prints, or a book you've created, you can upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto, available >as part of iLife '08. Once upgraded, any book you have previously created will be available for >further enhancing and ordering.

IPhoto (actually ALL of iLife) '06 Install Fails

...because the build engineer decided to FORCE the install of QT 7.0.4, buit I ALREADY HAVE v7.2 now.
Any ideas? How do I tell the DVD to stop trying to install QT 7.0.4 and failing and just get the programs I need???
It usually faisl right after iPhotot otherwise installs fine, but no matter what I choose to install or not install, it always fails when it goes to install QT v7.0.4.
Grrrr....!!!

Yeah, after some time in Google, I did just that. I had a heck of a time with it giving me lots of errors to continue through (files not found and/or replace/update choices), but it seemed to install OK, and then I got the updates for the apps via Software Updates. Since then, I had trouble with iPhoto opening pics to edit, but found a fix for that here:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29030
Hopefully, I'll not find more serious annoynaces when I go to make movies or iDVD them...what a mess.
To whomever the BONE-HEADED IDIOT build engineer is (hopefully, WAS!) for iLife '06 - YOU OWE ME $20 and a big thank you to the Pacifist gang (and thanks for nothing on all of the watsed time this ate up/will eat up)! There's no reason the whole install should fail just b/c I have QT version higher than 7.0.4...
Grrrr!
