ILife Apps Gone! Re-Install from Leopard DVD?

OK.
I went to import some pictures today, and noticed that I'm missing my iLife '08 Apps... I really don't know what happened to them, and I'm pretty adept at using my Mac and computers in general, so I don't HOW this has happened.
My question is, I can't figure out how to JUST install iLife '08 from the Leopard install discs, is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks

Before any installation, it is wise to backup your data*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
A clone would have ensured your iLife applications would not have been lost prior to installation.
If your Mac shipped with Leopard, the restore discs include iLife.
If your Mac shipped prior to Leopard (October 26, 2007) you won't find iLife on the Leopard installer you used to install Leopard on your Mac, but will find iLife on your restore discs which shipped with your Mac.
If you purchased your Mac prior to iLife '08 (August 7, 2007), you'll need the retail iLife '08 package to install iLife '08 on your Mac.
The restore disc install instructions are here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61802
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301468
If neither of them seems to work, you might be able to extract the important files with http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist.

TS1394 Can't re-install Leopard. Trying to reinstall the OS because computer locks up. It is a 2008 iMac that came with Leopard. Upgraded to Snow Leopard. Tried to archive and install from original DVD that came with iMac. Installation failed, so tri

Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed.
Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think my hard drive is toast. When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:
CSRHID Transition Driver: start booting in single user... will wait for window server
Then the following text appears, repeating itself over and over, except that the numbers (indicated by "xxxxxxx")
SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00

These messages keep repeating with the numbers (xxxxxxxxx) changing with each iteration.
Does this indicate a bad hard drive?
Thanks.

Problem: installed new hard drive but can´t boot from leopard dvd

So I just installed a new hard drive in my ibook G4. At first I started up the computer using the leopard DVD I had purchased. Got to Disk Utility and after a few seconds in the spin wheel came up and froze. So, I shut the computer down and when I tried to boot it again from the DVD I wouldn´t even reach the apple screen. Tried it a few times unsuccessfully.
As an alternative I just tried booting the comptuer using the original CD and it did read it.
I am currently at the installer page but I am concern about installing the old CD as I really would like to run the leopard dvd 10.5.
Is it that my ibook g4 can´t be booted from leopard dvd?
Please advise. thanks!!

OK, so I decided to leave my computer resting all night and give it a new try this morning.
This morning I was able to boot from the Leopard DVD, so I don´t really think it is a problem with my superdrive. Started to format at 32 minutes to complete. Then towards the 10th minute the spinning wheel appeared, I heard the fan running, then it stopped and then I heard the superdrive making some reading noises. Then all noises stopped and now the spinning wheel continues..not sure what to do now.
In the meantime, I wanted to share also another problem that I´ve been having for quite some time which I don´t know if it is related to my current problem. It is with the computer power:
- I´ve been experiecing load surges that take my computer from 100% to 1 or 0% and then goes to sleep or shuts down. The same thing happens when I am charging the computer.. it starts charging and showing 2 or 3% charge and then jacks up to 100% in minutes.
- My computer also makes like a slight humming noise sometimes when the ring around the power cable is in orange color, so I move it around until it stops. When I do that sometimes it goes from orange to green eventhough it is not fully charged. There has been times that under green it appears to be charging (battery charging icon on desktop shows up), and other sometimes like right now when it is in green color and the battery icon on the desktop says ´99%´. Weird enough, once I get the cable in a certain position it enables the battery to charge, if I keep it without moving it, the load surges disappear (at least for some days).
Should I try resetting the PMU? I´ve not done it because I don´t know what consequences it may have.
NOTE: When I bought the computer I never calibrated my battery because I was (and still are) clueless when comes to computer technicalities. I tried using a different power adapter and get the sample problem.
Below is the information I get from coconut battery:
My battery is in its 256 load-cycle. current battery capacity 58512mAh (original battery capacity: 4400 mAh).
The last system profiler I was able to pull shows:

Apps no longer install from iTunes and disappear from home screen

Everything went fine until a few days ago, with no change I can discern, apps no longer installed from iTunes. They did install when I deleted them in iTunes, synced, then installed from the Touch. Now even that is failing unless I reset settings on the Touch after every install session. Resets make these apps appear but I have to do it all over again to install new apps and, again, only from the Touch. I
've reset in iTunes twice to a brand new iPod. Have tried installing one app at a time and can't find a culprit. This is a new development so I'm not inclined to think it's hardware. Can a bad app do this to a second generation Touch three months old running 2.2? I've never been near a jaibreak thing.

If you mean hardware I wonder why it would develop out of nowhere. It's a flash drive, yes? If it's a software problem wouldn't it be fixed by a reset. Remember that apps show up after resetting settings on the touch itself but doing that after every installation is a drag.

Clean install from Leopard to M. Lion on new disk

I have a late 2007 MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 and a too small disk. I just purchased a 500GB internal disk. I'd like to do a clean install from Leopard to Mountain Lion using the new disk. What is the recommended procedure? I'd like to avoid the extra step of installing Snow Leopard first as documented.

Well, I wouldn't do it that way, too many steps.
I would:
1. Clone your current drive to the external drive, instead of using Time Machine. (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper)
2. Boot from your external drive, update it to Snow Leopard.
3. Purchase and download ML from that external boot. Save a copy of the installer to a location other than the Applications folder, that way it won't be erased after you use it. (verify that you've made a copy and not just an alias)
4. Install your new drive, format it.
5. Boot from your external, run the ML installer, select your new empty internal as the install destination, when prompted, use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the external to the internal.
6. When done, you should have a fresh install of ML on your new internal and a bootable SL on your external as a backup. If you decide that you want to go back to SL, you can just erase the internal and clone the external back to the internal.
Note: You don't need to make a bootable USB installer, they're too slow anyway. Just keep a copy of the ML installer on your external, bootable drive, so that you won't have to download it again.
Another option: Since you're replacing the intrenal with a 500 Gig drive, you could partition it to two 250 Gig partitions. Put ML on one and SL on the other, i.e.,

Can't Install Boot Camp 2.1 from Leopard DVD

I've just installed Vista 64-bit on a separate hard drive in my 2007 Mac Pro.
When I run Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD, the installation finishes, but then I get the following 2 errors: "Key Agent (Mac HAL) service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".
After hitting "Finish", Boot Camp is not installed.
What's up with this?

I have the upgrade Snow Leopard DVD, and it won't install 3.0 without a prior version present. Plus, I need 64-bit drivers.

Book G4 1.33gh 1.5gb won't run Leopard 10.5.6 after install from retail DVD

I have a 12" iBook G4 1.33gh 1.5gb (last PPC version) that was running Tiger 10.4.11 on 2 partitions.
I wiped Tiger off partition 2, and tried to install Leopard 10.5.6 using a retail DVD.
But after the software loads, and goes to re-boot to the new system set up, all I get is an empty blue screen.
I tried installing 3 times from the Leopard DVD, only to get the same result.
The blue screen isn't a computer problem as I can reboot back to Tiger on partition 1 with no issues.
Anyone know why this is?

I didn't see anything that relates, unless I'm misunderstanding.
The notes suggest doing an archive and replace if the install fails. But isn't an archive and replace really like a clean install, but one that saves your older elements should you want them?
In my case I'm not trying to install Leopard over an older Tiger. I just want to install it clean on an empty partition.

Re-installing from tiger DVD onto leopard?

hello,
garageband came pre-installed on my macbook with tiger. i've since upgraded to leopard. now i want to do a clean (re-)install of leopard.
after re-installing leopard, can i insert the "additional software" DVD that came with tiger, to re-install garageband? would there be any compatibility issue?
thanks.

No, that should be fine.
However, a Leopard installation should leave GB unchanged, so if you don't have a specific reason to re-install GB, why would you do it?

Clean Install from Leopard to Snow Leopard.

My girlfriend's laptop currently has Leopard on it. I want to install Snow Leopard on it for her. I have never installed OS X but I have Windows before. I'm assuming it will give me the option for a clean install and that is what I want to do. But if I do that, will it ask me for the Leopard disc? I ask because she does not know where her disc is. Thank you in advanced for your help?
Another situation, what if I completely format her harddrive prior to installing Snow Leopard. If I buy the $29.00 version, will I be able to install it without the Leopard disc?

The Snow Leopard installer is designed to install over the existing system without changing applications, data or preferences.
To do a clean install you need to carry out an erase from Disk Utility on the install disc.
If you do wipe the drive for a clean install, you'll lose all data and all the bundled software that came with the Mac. That is, the iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand) and a few smaller but useful apps.
That software is on the second disc of the installer set that came with the Mac.
If you have an external HD you can clone the existing system to it, then erase the internal, install Snow and then use the setup assistant to transfer data and apps back as required. That should be done immediately after first boot into the new OS.
Note that the external will need to be formatted the same as the internal, i.e. GUID partition map and Mac OS Extended (journalled) file system.
Regardless of which way you choose to do it, it's worth trying to find or replace those original Leopard discs. Apart from having the software to hand, they also contain Apple Hardware Test for that model. If she can't find them they can be got for a small fee by calling AppleCare with the serial no. of the Mac.
But if she still has the original box, it might be worth having a look in there; the discs are in a small white box with the Quick start manual and warranty information.

ILife apps with clean install to Mavericks?

My Macbook came pre-installed with the iLife apps (e.g., iPhoto, iMovie, etc.) when I first purchased it back in 2009 (with Snow Leopard OS). For the past few OS updates, i've just upgraded and my apps have remained. This time around i went for a clean install, since i've been having some issues. Is there any way for me to get my iLife apps back from my TimeMachine back up of my old machine? Or any other way for me to get them?

Click here and follow the instructions, or use the computer’s original disks to perform a custom installation of them. You may find that you need to restore support files as well as the applications.

How to separately backup the Boot Camp drivers partition from Leopard DVD?

I used Disk Utility and my only (and expensive) DVD+R DL disc to make a backup copy of my Leopard DVD, and it worked perfectly to install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
However, that was before I learned that the Boot Camp drivers was now on a separate, PC-only partition on the DVD. So while my backup copy works great to install Leopard, I have no backup of the Boot Camp driver CD.
I tried several tricks, including booting into Windows Vista and using PowerISO to attempt to make an ISO image of the Boot Camp driver partition (shows up as 400 MB or so). However, the ISO image generated is a whopping 7.6 GB, same size as the full Leopard DVD. I then tried to take that back into the Mac OS side, but it was "unmountable". Toast 8 was able to make an image of the full DVD that (I'd presume, as did previous versions of Toast) would contain both partitions of an ISO-9660 volume, but when I mounted that disk image with Toast 8, I didn't get the two-mounted-volume like I'd normally expect to see.
I'd really like to know how to backup this volume - I demo this system regularly on my MacBook for clients, and I don't want to have to keep using my nice, pristine Leopard DVD when I have to do my weekly re-install. Any thoughts on how to get a simple extraction of the actual volume used for the Boot Camp drivers?
Thanks much for the time,
MBJ

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question! Although I think your steps will "work", per se (and I will try them out as soon as I can), I'm something of a purist in regards to my backups and so this method seems a little hackish as opposed to a process that actually images the volume in question (I'm also curious from a technical perspective, as the Boot Camp Assistant Beta used to allow for a dedicated MacintoshDrivers disc to be burned from it—I liked that method better, to be honest).
Thanks again! I'll keep checking back here for other comments, and will let you know how the method you suggested works out.
Best wishes,
MBJ

[solved] Boot installer from hard disk, but install from external DVD.

Hi!
I have an old notebook with broken cd-rom and without support to boot from USB disks (only "USB-FDD"). I want to install on this notebook Arch Linux! I bought an external DVD writer and I would like to only boot Arch linux, but install from external drive. How can I do it?

Yes. My laptop does not support booting from usb-cd and usb-hdd
But I installed Arch by grub4dos to boot from iso, connect external dvd and start installation. System successfully detected the dvd drive so I could install a new system!

ILife apps in Yosemite install but remain as pending updates

Ages ago, I aquired the iLife and iWorks apps (GarageBand, iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Numbers, Pages). I now upgraded from 10.8 to 10.10 (english).
The App Store now shows the following strange behaviour:
1. I could update all apps except GarageBand from the Purchases tab.
2. GarageBand I had to purchase again, what I did.
3. After reboot, all six apps work.
4. However, they all still appear as UPDATE (except GarageBand which appears as INSTALL) in the App Store.
5. A non iLife app like FinalCutPro updated properly too AND is recognized as installed properly.
PROBLEM and QUESTION:
How do I get the App Store to recognize the former iLife apps as installed and current?
Thanks,
Falk

I.e., iMovie installed twice today (I tried twice ...). Still not recognized as current by App Store.

BRAND NEW Mac Pro won't boot from Leopard DVD, kernel panics!

I just received my brand new Mac Pro today. It's a BTO machine with the upgrade to the NVIDIA 8800GT, a second optical drive and a Mac OS X Server license. The system has Mac OS X server installed on the default 320GB drive. I decided to use the server license as a virtual machine running in Leopard client. So, I installed 2 new 500GB Seagate 7200.11 (Retail) drives in the machine, zeroed them out in prep for installing Leopard client.
At this point, I pop in a freshly-purchased retail copy of the Leopard DVD and restart. When I try to boot from the DVD and install Leopard to one of the new Seagate drives, I get kernel panics - need to restart the machine. Also tried booting from the Mac OS X Server DVD and this too only caused kernel panics. The DVD's read perfectly from within Mac OS X Server and boot from hard disks is flawless.
I spent an hour on the phone with a level 2 tech at Apple - Tried swapping out the RAM and moving around the DIMMS to no avail. I am at a loss to what this could be. Seems to be a hardware issue and the tech thought it was likely a problem with one of the memory risers but couldn't send replacements. Anyone else with a similar issue?
This is my first Mac and it looks like this Mac Pro is going back for an exchange and I'll have to wait yet another 10-12 days for a replacement to arrive. Bummer.
Am I missing something simple here? Does this seem to be a hardware issue?
If anyone has any ideas before I ship this one back, please write!!!

New Mac Pros will not install the Leopard retail disc. They will only install the Leopard disc which shipped with them labeled Mac Pro. That has always been true. Macs can only boot the system that ships on DVD in the box that came with them, and newer retail releases. They can never boot from an older retail release than what shipped in the box.

Installing from External DVD Drive

Can you install Leopard from an external DVD drive (USB)? I bought an external DVD drive and it has a faster speed then the built in DVD Drive in my iMac.
Thanks,
agent6998

I wanted to try this out and used my 10GB 3G ipod to install, and it actually went pretty fast. It took me ~45 minutes to install from boot to boot (not counting post-boot blue screen that took ~10 minutes or so, and then final setup tunings/customizations, etc.). The time saved equaled the time it took to copy the DVD to disk image, root around and find my old ipod, and restore the image to the ipod, so its not that much more efficient. Additionally, its an unsupported method of installing, so if something goes wrong dont blame Apple.
