ILife will not install... any ideas?

Bought Mac Box Set Family Pack.
Snow Leopard successfully installed on three PC's.
iLife wil not install on third PC
Have run all possible updates
Any ideas?

When your computer 'spits' out the disc it means it is unreadable. Since the discs are readable on other computers it suggests that there's a problem with the computer's optical drive or that the discs are somewhat scratched/dirty and that computer is more sensitive than your other computers.
Can that computer read other DVDs? You don't need to test with an installation DVD you can try a movie. The problem might be nothing more than a dirty optical drive lense and be fixable by using a DVD drive cleaning kit.
What's the silver side of the installation disc look like? See any scratches and/or finger prints? Carefully wipe the disc with a lint free cloth (wiping in circles around the disc, not across the grain)
Assuming you have another FireWire computer you could connect the two with a FW cable and boot the other computer into FireWire Target Disk mode by rebooting and holding the 'T' key. This will let the MacBook use the other computer's drive to install the software.

  • AE 7.0 Pro will not install, any idea why?

    MAC OSX Mavericks, used to function just fine with AE 7.0 Pro before my Mavericks update.  Now it won't install.  Any ideas for a fix?

    I don't like your chances of running 8 year old software on a new OS.  Even the latest versions of After Effects required patches to function properly on Mavericks.
    I'd suggest back-tracking your OS to a previous version that you know worked, or update your Adobe software.

  • I have lightroom 5.7 installed, and have just downloaded / installed Lightroom CC, but although lightroom 5 runs ok, Lightroom CC will not run, any ideas please

    I have lightroom 5.7 installed, and have just downloaded / installed Lightroom CC, but although lightroom 5 runs ok, Lightroom CC will not run, any ideas please.

    What seems to be working for many users (myself included) is to sign out of CC and then sign back in.  After signing back in, LR will run.

  • Windows 7 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers

    My HP Pavilion p7-1297cb pc which is running windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS will not install any HP print drivers. All my windows updates are current, HP print and scan doctor did not fix it, I also tried MS fix it manager and did not work.  When I try to use my HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus installation CD or HP's download center, software almost installs, but says print drivers will not install.  Also, I tried using USB connection and windows tries to install software, but does not work.  Same for HP print driver support.   I tried installing 3 different HP printers I had and all had the same issue. Any ideas on why my system will not allow any print drivers to install?

    Hi rrfhp,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand none of the HP drivers will fully install.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Are you signed in as the Administrator of the computer?
    I would turn off all start up programs to make sure there isn't something blocking the printer.
    Click on start, in the search box type in run, enter, then type in msconfig, click OK.
    Click the Services tab.
    Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
    Click Disable All, and then click OK.
    Then click on the start up tab at the top.
    Click on disable all.
    Reboot the computer.
    Temporarily turn off any Antivirus software.
    Then run the installation again by right clicking on the setup and selecting run as Admininstrator.
    Don't connect the USB cable until prompted.
    Try printing now.
    Then go back into msconfig and enable the All Microsoft Services and enable all on the start up tab.
    Turn the Antivirus software back on again.
    Please let me know the results if you are still having issues.
    Are you getting any error messages?
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a nice day!

    I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas? Sometimes I can connect though computer and get all my movies but usually I  can not connect though the network.

    thank you Diesel vdub  this helps but I just need to clarify - I understand about copying the intire folder ( cool thanks ) for the second part though, you are saying I can not do this if the 2nd computer does not have internet access? ( which you seem to be saying - bother! )
    many thanks

  • My track pad scrolls but will not click any ideas ?

    My track pad scrolls but will not click any ideas ?

    If when pushing down neaer the bottom of the trackpad you can't get it to click and you don't hear an audible sound and feel it click then the trackpad has something stuck under it or it has failed. You'll need to take it in to an Apple store to have the trackpad replaced or removed and cleaned if that is possible.

  • Ilife will not install after reinstalling osx

    Hello,
    I've had a few troubles with my macbook air 10.6.5 - and I was told it's probably a software thing, so I should reinstall osx, which i did. But when I try to install Ilife 11 from the usb pin that came with the computer, It keeps telling me that an unknown failure has accured and i can't install.
    any ideas?
    - Elias

    Don't think this is quite answered yet. I just bought iLife 11 for my up-to-date system (24" iMac) and iLife wouldn't install outta the box. I found this thread and successfully installed iPhoto separately. After that, I ran the custom install again, deselecting iPhoto this time, and tried to install the rest. It failed again. I tried the good 'ol process of elimination and installed iMovie by itself with no issues. iDVD install failed but GarageBand and iWeb installs worked fine. This is very un-Apple and I'm disappointed. Good thing iDVD (or iWeb for that matter) wasn't updated in this release, otherwise this would be a bigger deal.
    To recap, I installed each of the following apps, separately, in this order: iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb. iDVD won't install. Hope this helps someone else.

  • I have a problem with my computer recognizing my new iphone when i uninstall itunes and reinstall it does not download properly and bonjour will not load any ideas of what to do

    I have a dell lap top with windows 7 that won't recognize my iphone 5c. The driver's will not install with out a problem, I talked to apple support to try to fix this problem, I unistalled itunes and reinstalled it, now itunes did not download properly, bonjour does not load and i can not burn cds, I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice with the same problem. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • Itunes will not reinstall any ideas

    I went to sync my ipod to the the itunes on my HP laptop, windows vista. First warning "ipod won't sync" then it told me itunes doesn't recognize ipod.  This is all after working well for 6 months.  I got on line to the windows tech I use and they came to the conclusion that my windows vista installer was corrupt and I needed the original operational cd to restore the computer.  Of course the vista program was preprogramed from the factory!  I have installed other programs since and they acted all right.  I tried to use windows media center but that told me I needed the itune driver in order to sync the ipod with windows media center.  Of course I can't down load that!  ANY IDEAS?

    thanks! this sound like no solution at all. technically speaking sound slike i am not able to fix it

  • ITunes will not install any (downloaded) apps: the install buttons are grey.

    I have installed iTunes 12.0.1.26 on my (up-to-date) Windows 7 64 bit machine. I have successfully downloaded several apps from the app store. Now I would really like to install those apps on my iPhone 4s iOS 8.1.2, but iTunes wil not allow me to do so (nor on my iPod). It recognizes my iPhone, it shows me my apps, but the 'install' buttons are grey (i.e. they are not clickable). I have authorized my computer and installed iTunes as an administrator.
    I searched this site and found a solution to a similar problem, but unfortunately that solution will not work here. The solution was to double click on one of the apps in 'my apps' and then authorize my computer, but when I double click on an app nothing happens at all. Well, it gets selected (blue), but that is all. So iTunes just isn't working properly, but I don't know how to correct it.
    I really hope to get some help with this problem. Thanks in advance!

    Ah, not sure what I was thinking at time.
    You may want to try some of the troubleshooting steps in iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases. It may help to deauthorize and then reauthorize the computer. I suspect the double-click the app advice doesn't work with iTunes 12. Nothing interesting happened when I tried. If you have any protected media it might be worth confirming that it will play.
    Is this a new library with respect to the device? If so see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Some voicemail messages will not play - any ideas how to solve this?

    Some voicemail messages will not play on my iphone 4S - any ideas how to solve this?

    People have posted a number of issues recently with HP printers and the TC.
    Do the normal stuff.
    1. Wireless name in the TC by default is not SMB compatible.. make it short no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    2. Lock the channel.. the TC on auto can go crazy.. fix it to 1, 6, or 11 in turn.
    3. Test without security.. if it will not join without security.. you can be pretty sure it never will join with.
    4. If you get nowhere.. highly probable.. lock the wireless mode to a/n - b/g
    This is reducing 2.4ghz to G compatibility. Much more likely to work than N.
    If after all this you have started having ticks in your cheeks and approaching nevous breakdown levels.. give up.. the TC is not 100% compatible with the windows world.. and ALL HP belong to the windows world.
    The solution is simple.. a cheap wireless router.. not apple.. your average garden day, netgear, dlink, even a belkin.. although that is the bottom of the barrel.. in wan bypass. ie fix the IP to same range as the TC.. turn off dhpc.. and plug LAN TC to LAN wireless router. Setup the wireless on this.. fixed channel.. G wireless will be fine.. suitable network name and security.. The HP printer will then be available to the network.. and you didn't even have to slit your wrists.
