Imovie HD update 6.0.4 not installing 'install ilife 08 first'

I am trying to install the update to imovie 6.0.4. Currently i have 6.0.3.
Ilife 08 is installed on my mac.
Yet when i try to open the imovieHD installer, i get message:
'ilife HD cannot be installed on this system. please install life 08 first'
Yet it IS already installed. I can open all the applications, imovie, garageband, iphoto etc, and they are all up to date.
Ilife 08 came installed on my macbook pro.
This doesn't sound like a problem that would be solved by trashing the prefs file.
And that's my only idea.
Any ideas? Anybody else experience this problem?
thanks!

I am trying to install the update to imovie 6.0.4. Currently i have 6.0.3.
As far as I know, the only distinction between the two versions is where they came from. iMovie 6.0.4 is for those who acquired a late-model Intel Mac with iLife '08 and did not have the earlier iLife '06 package.
If iMovie 6.0.4 were an actual update to iMovie 6.0.3, then it would have been available and installed from Software Update like any other valid incremental update.

  • MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.

    Hi
    The latest MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
    It runs and I restart my Mac but when I search for more updates it appears as a required update again.
    Anyone know why this may be?

    I had the same problem today. I called Apple support who transferred me to second level support and no resolution. I decided to try a combination of the items I have seen below.
    I restarted my computer. I went to apple support download and downloaded the software EFI firmware update 2.0 by typing in search window. I made sure the power cord was pulled into the wall and the laptop had a FULL charge. I installed the update and the computer restarted.
    I went to check the software update window after the update and restart completed and SUCCESSFUL.
    I do not know why the Genius Bar or the second level support could not resolve my issues but, by me reading information here I hope at least this issue is resolved.
    Thanks ALL.......... Happy Mac ing

    My IPhone 5 installed the new IOS 7 update but it will not install.   Why?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download, install, and reactive their devices it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • After the last update for OSX 10.9.5, I get messages stating that I need to re-install the update because it did not install properly - How do I do this

    On September 24, I got a message from the App Store saying there was an update of the Operating System on my MacBookPro laptop - OS X 10.9.5 - once I updated it, I got a message saying that there was an error in the update and that it did not install properly and that I should re-install the update.  I have no idea how to do this.  Can anyone help me?

    You can manually download the Combo update if in doubt of the integrity of the OS 10.9.5
    install on top of what you have, backups are always a good idea.

  • Macbook Pro SMC update 1.3 will not install

    Greetings,
    I am having problems getting the latest SMC update to install on my 15" Macbook pro. My built in drive has a boot camp partition, so I understand if the update won't install using that. But When booting off freshly GUID partitioned and HFS+(journaled) formatted Firewire 400 drive (Leopard installed and updated to 10.5.7) SMC 1.3 update will not install and gives same error "Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme." Huh?
    I tried the update pushed down by software update, and a manual download.
    Current SMC version showing in system profiler as 1.16f10
    Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?

    "...hit the hardware start button, get gong, machine starts to boot, something briefly flashes on the screen"
    Hi Bob, you have to hold down the start button(5-10secs) until you hear a long tone. Then let go and everything is ok.
    You'll also see the progress bar install the update, that is what the brief flash was but because the button wasn't held for a few seconds, it didn't take.

  • Media Encoder update 4.1 did not install correctly?

    I updated Production Premium package to 4.1 when it became available, 31. May.
    Now when I check updates, Adobe Media Encoder 4.1 update is still on a list. Somehow it did not install correctly.
    It is working OK and version shows 4.1.0.107.
    The only problem so far I've noticed is not connected to AME but Premiere: it do not accept .VOB files.
    Similar hardware (PC) / software combinations are working OK with other collagues here in our studio.
    If I install the AME update again, after downloading and installation "The updating process is finished"
    prompt pops up, but the update installation is not complete.
    What is preventing AME to install correctly?
    Just now I can not uninstall the complete package.

    First thank you Harm for trying to help.
    I'm just learning to use this forum. Your most useful hint was on another thread, and
    I could not give you points there. I've also found many of your other posts useful in these forums.
    Thanks for those as well.
    And because this is Premiere forum I prefer not to hassle with my After  Effects problems here.
    But no, I don't get full interface at all, just usual MS error message: "Color Finesse has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
    I think the most apparent reason is my heavy project, vast amount of material, lots of HD compositions and only 32 bit XP with 4 Gigs of RAM.
    When I tried to make a new HD project with less material, Color Finesse's full interface opened just fine.
    And because my project's color correction needs were simple foreground to background balancing for bluescreen shots, I managed to do it with Levels.

  • Update to iTunes will NOT install and all subsequent attempts to reinstall fail.

    I was informed of an update to iTunes tonight so I tried to install it. It would not install. "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." A second error message pop up stating "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (WIndows error 126)"
    I've tried reinstalling iTunes 3 times. After each time I've cleared cache and temporary internet files and re-booted. I've used Firefox, IE 10 and Google Chrome. Nothing works.
    I need this fixed. It was working great until Apple decided to put out an update that screwed everything up.

    Go it done. The key appears to have been UTTERLY removing EVERYTHING - even going so far as to delete every iTune folder under Users/Local, LocalLow, and Roaming, and Programs Files, and clearing out all Temp files.
    Thanks!

  • Does MAS show updates if apps are not installed ?

    I got several apps from the Mac App Store but deleted some of them. In fact I deleted all traces of these apps even .bom and .plist files in "receipts".
    Now updates of not installed apps are not shown in the App Store application. Is this due to the fact that these apps are not installed OR because I deleted the .bom and .plist files in "receipts" ?
    Thx.

    steps to find these "invisible" resources:
    1) In Finder type Command F (Find)
    2) In menu bar select "Kind"
    3) Scroll down to "Other"
    4) Wait a moment (menu has to rebuild itself)
    5) Scroll down and select: "System Files"
    6) In Finder type Command F (Find)
    7) In menu bar select "System Files" and "Are included"
    8) Type: "receipts"
    voila ,with search results you will get the complete path which should be like: yourharddisk/private/var/db/receipts

  • Security Update 2007 006 will not install!

    I downloaded the newly released Security update (Intel) and tried to install it on my 24" Intel iMac. I was immediately informed that my volume "does not meet the requirements for this update" and it refused to go farther.
    Has anyone an idea what is going on here?

    Here is what worked for me.
    Run Safari 3.0 installer and choose uninstall. Then, after a restart, either use the Apple software program in Tiger or download the updater for your machine. Either should install.
    Evidently, the Safari installer had already put the fix on my computer, but since I have a lot of time to kill, this gave me the peace of mind that the whole fix is installed.
    Then you can reinstal Safari Beta, if you really want it.
    Personally I am going to wait until Fall and get 10.5.

  • Update Downloads but will not Install (and a few other issues)

    My dInc2 keeps telling me I have an update. I download the firmware and then it tells me that if I install I won't be able to use the phone. This is fine - it's what always happens. Except it NEVER installs. Ever. I've tried a million times. And more recently, my clock disappeared. I was so glad I wasn't having that issue - but then it happened. Has anyone else experienced the issue of updates not installing? How do I fix it?

    AngM627,  I can imagine how frustrating it must be for you to keep receiving the notification advising you to update your phone software. Do you mind telling me which software version is on your Incredible 2?

  • Hello all, i am in need of the newer version of Mobile Device Support as when updating the file was not installed, would anyone tell me where i could find a new version? thankyou

    Hello all, i recently updated my itunes but when i did this the Mobile Device Support file did not install, would anyone be able to help me find a download? thanks

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
