Install Failed - all other apps installed fine

I am rebuilding my G5. I tried installing iLife 08 and most everything went fine, however iPhoto will not install. The message is "Install Failed The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement."
OK, so I called Apple and they wouldn't send me a new disc and wanted to charge me the $40 odd dollars to talk with them.
The disk looks pristine - it's a family pack, and I've only installed on 3 computers, so I know it has worked. Anyone have any ideas what I should do? I've got a huge amount of photos stuck in iphoto backup that I need access to.
Thanks.

Airren:
Try using Pacifist to find, extract and install just iPhoto from the iLife 08 disk. It might succeed where the Apple installer failed.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    Hi there,
    You mentioned you used the Cleaner Tool to uninstall everything, but still have Adobe App Manager (AAM) installed? Please try running the Cleaner Tool again (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
    Remove all CC files and be sure to uninstall AAM.
    Then download the CC Desktop App here: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud
    After you launch the desktop app, use the Apps panel to install the programs you need.

  • I have face time installed on my iMac but when I go to the app store it doesn't show installed and has a.99c price. All other apps show installed. Is this an upgrade?

    I have face time installed on my iMac but when I go to the app store it doesn't show installed and has a.99c price. All other apps show installed. Is this an upgrade?

    The first thing to do:  Make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Don't update iPhoto without having a backup of your iPhoto library.
    When I tried I received the following message This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    This error message means, that you did not yet associate your copy of iPhoto (preinstalled on your Mac) with your AppleID by clicking the "accept" button at AppStore "Purchased" page.
    First try to "Accept" iPhoto on the Purchased tab and try, if you then can update iphoto from the Updates tab.
    Now check the "Purchased" tab. Is iPhoto among your Purchases to "Accept" or "Install"? Then accept and/or install.
    If it is not possible, delete iPhoto from the Applications folder .
    (don't empty the Trash).
    If it is not among your Purchases, open the AppStore main tab, search for iPhoto using the Search field, and buy it from the AppStore. If you already owned any version of iPhoto '11, this purchase should be free, from earlier versions it may be a paid upgrade.
    If all fails there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
    I can delete the existing software and re-install but I don't want to lose all my photos.
    Your photos are in your iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder and not in the iPhoto application. Just back up the iPhoto Library as a precaution, but reinstalling iPhoto will not delete your iPhoto Library.

  • TS3274 I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine.

    I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine. Help!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Before that, back up your device, explained here:

  • I updated my iPad to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve  my books in the iBooks and the videos as well all the other apps are fine , I am sure I did back up, the books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

    I updated my iPad2 to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve  my books in the iBooks and the videos as well . All the other apps are fine with full data. I am sure I did back up to my friend's mac book pro .The books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

    They gave me a brand new phone and I logged into all of my iCloud stuff, etc...
    When I try to go onto the Internet it will say its loading, loading, loading, then give up. Pandora has given up after one song. All other apps that need to connect to Internet or networks load and load and then give up. I will double tap the one button and close out all the apps and it may work for a second but no more. Then I will turn the phone off and the same thing happens.
    I have run out of ideas.

  • Mail app works fine, all other apps cannot connect to wifi - suggestions?

    Hello
    I can connect fine to my work wifi but only the mail app is working - googlemail account. Safari cannot find server and all other apps requiring wifi do not work.
    All of the apps work fine when connecting to my home wifi so nothing wrong with the ipod.
    Confused. Do different apps use different wifi settings?
    Any help would be much appeciated!!

    There might be a filter or firewall at work preventing access to internet. Check with your network administrator.

  • Safari 3.0.4 freezing all other apps in 10.4.11?

    Has anyone experienced a freezing of all other apps when using Safari? Here is what happens: I can use Safari and move freely to different web pages, but when I try to open another application, the icon for the other app appears in the dock bouncing for a long while, but then the icon stops bouncing and just appears in the dock as if I added it to the dock (i.e, it doesn't have a black triangle underneath the icon and the app doesn't open). This happens to all apps- printer utility, disk utility, word, activity log, etc., except dashboard widgets, which works. I can't even open system preferences or the force quit dialog box with the mouse. I can, however, right click on the icon in the dock and force quit from there. The right click opens up a menu which suggests the app is frozen in the middle of trying to open. Force quitting from the app, however, doesn't fix anything. I try to re-open the app, but I still cannot use any apps and cannot print from Safari.
    The only thing that fixes this situation is to hold the power button down to shut down the computer. I wait 30 seconds and restart. I then run disk utility, but the results says no permission repairs are needed and disk repair comes back with a clean report. What's happening? I've had this problem happen more than once--maybe 3-4 times, but it doesn't happen all the time. I'm using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Thanks for your help!

    SafariPlus v.1.6a1 works perfectly with Safari 3.0.4.
    I allow Flash and Gifs and don't have a problem.
    But it could be some other third party 'enhancer' that caused the problem.
    Input Managers can be tricky beasts. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.

  • ITunes 10.7 won't send 5.1 audio out, all other apps/games work

    Hi all,
      I'm trying to get the videos I bought on iTunes 10 to play in 5.1 out of iTunes on Windows 7. The videos have Stereo and 5.1, as per their "Get Info". PowerDVD, WoW, all other apps and games playback 5.1 audio on my system perfectly, as do 5.1 videos using VLC.
    When playing an iTunes video with stereo and 5.1 audio, stereo plays fine, 5.1 is silent when I switch to it.
    I read that Quicktime's preferences need to be set. I did that. 5.1 audio, 16-bit, 48k. Still nothing.
    The audio device is SoundMAX which came with my Asus P5E. Drivers are updated.
    The same thing happens when setting my audio device to my Logitech G35 5.1 headphones.
    This seems to be more of a Quicktime/iTunes problem than a driver problem since everything else works.
    Or, does iTunes/Quicktime Player simply not work with 5.1 properly on Windows?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks b noir for pointing me in the right direction.  I now have iTunes 10.7 up and running and it works fine.
    After your question I was sure I didn't have a smart card service and searched for ways to reinstall it.  I also was advised by my computer literate brother to recheck Windows Updates for Smart Card services.  I found the (long ago hidden by me) Microsoft Base Smart Card Cryptographic Service Provider Package (KB909520) and ran that update.  Then I retried the process I found at a web site named lazybit.  The specific URL for that one is
    http://lazybit.com/index.php/2007/12/19/windows_xp_re_install_smart_card_service  if anyone needs it. 
    I'm honestly not sure which piece did what but I now have a service named Smart Card Helper, and iTunes opens just fine.  Good enough for me - thanks again!!

  • Imac will only connect to my home wifi via ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). its driving me nuts!

    My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

    Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
    - and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
    - Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
    - do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
    Thx
