Install old iLife from 10.3 disks onto iBook w/ a clean install of Tiger?

My ibook originally came with Panther 10.3. iLife was included on the install disks.
A few months ago, I did a clean install of Tiger. I then tried to reinstall iLife from the Panther 10.3 disks. However, only Garageband and iDVD show up ---iPhoto and iMovie don't show up at all. I've searched for these programs, but they are not installed.
I spoke to an apple rep and he said that I should NEVER install old programs from a Panther disk onto a clean install of Tiger. However, the guy did not seem confident in what he told me. He said my mac should be very unstable and that I shouldn't even be able to use Garageband....but I have had no problems with my mac or using Garageband for the past 4 months.
Is he correct? And if so, should I do a clean install of Panther, and then upgrade to Tiger? I wonder if this will correctly install the whole iLife suite?

Did custom install of iLife from Leopard disk, want to install the rest.

When I bought my macbookpro a couple of years ago, it was supposed to have Leopard but didn't, so the Apple Store gave me a Leopard install disk. I installed Leopard (not an upgrade, an actual fresh install) but I guess I did a custom installation and didn't install all of the iLife apps (like iMovie).
Now I want to install those apps, but when I get into the installation process, it looks like I may have to either archive the entire OS and reinstall or install all of the iLife apps. Is there a way to just install the uninstalled apps?
My Leopard disk is 10.5.1, but the current version on my computer is 10.5.8, I suppose due to periodic upgrades.
Thanks!

Don't boot up from your original install disc. Instead, insert it, and browse it with Finder. You should see a "optional install software" or some similar looking thing (I can't remember its exact title). That's what you want to use to install iLife without reinstalling the whole system.

Installing old software from previous Windows 8 installation? And installing new software.

Hello.
Two questions.
Can I re-install software from my previous Windows 8 installation onto Windows 10 Preview? All the files needed are in Windows.old. I have some software that was registered to me, and getting another copy will be kinda hard.
Also, when the final edition (i.e: not a technical preview) comes out, will any new software that I have installed onto the Technical Preview still be there?
Thanks.

It depends on how you installing Windows 10, if you do custom install or clean install which means either format partition of your current Windows or install Windows and removing previous version of Windows which would create Windows.old, you have to reinstall
your applications and restore your data and you need product keys and installation files. However , if you do upgrade which is possible from Windows 8 to Windows 10, then you will have your programs and files in place and you don't need to reinstall them.
But note like previous upgrades (e.g. Windows 7 to Windows 8), you might have some compatibility problems and you might need to uninstall some programs and install newer version which you will know during upgrade process.
When final version of Windows been released, you might need to update or install latest version of some software or programs which are compatible with Windows 10 and latest software products should work on Windows 10.

Installing InDesign Only from Creative Suite Disk

I wish to Install InDesign ONLY from my Creative Suite 2 Disk.
I have The full Creative Suite 4 collection of applications installed on my Mac Pro.
It resides on my NEW main hard drive. All of my copy of Creative Suite 2 was lost as per the drive failure.
I want to install InDesign on my new drive. I still have the Creative Suite 2 Disks from whch to do the installation but am not sure how to install only one applcation form them.
This is likely a simple procedure, but I hesitate to undertake it without knowing precisely how to do so.
Thank you,
_my_pov

Thank you. I'd never used InDesign in the past and given the resolution to this installation think I'll pass on doing so now.
CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator are my mainstays...and needing to reinstall them again might be more grief than it's worth.
Thanks Again.

How to re-install Mainstage purchased from the App Store onto new drive

I recently purchased Mainstage 2.2.1 from the App Store. It automatically downloaded and installed the app onto my drive (not giving me a physical installer dmg, I guess this is normal). My system was slow so I decided to buy an SSD drive and install it in place of the Superdrive as a dedicated music drive. After installing Lion and booting from this new drive I went to the App store assuming I could simply re-install the app but there is no option for that. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks

Just just launch the Mac App Store, select the "Purchased" tab and download MainStage or any other application you already bought.

Moving from XI R2 SP2 to XI 3.0 - clean install or upgrade?

My company is currently using Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP2 and they want to move to XI R3.0. Is there any benefit to completely wiping the previous version and doing a clean install compared to trying to use the upgrade process?
I'm still fairly new to this product so I don't know whether we do anything considered out of the norm. I presume we can back up our files/settings from R2, and them re-import them into R3.
If anyone has any advice as to what is the better approach I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi,
I am going to be running the upgrade on a demo install next week. It is a single box installation, so the upgrade should work. If it does not I will be falling back and creating a clean install, and upgrading the db. Finally if this is not successful I will be trying to use the import wizard.
I will update with the progress.
Regards
Alan

Installing SL right now but I didn't see option for clean install

Hi All,
just got my $9.95 SL cd by mail and I'm installing it now but saw the option to do a clean
install or for that matter an archive.
The only option was to check off for Quick time7 and
something else.
It's running it's course and I'll update but curious.
Thanks.

The "install" option on 10.6 is most similar to 10.5's "Archive & Install." Except it's more bulletproof.
I guess it's semantics. as i understand it, it completely erases the previous system and installs a fresh new one so in that sense it's closer to the old archive and install, but it does not archive the old system so in that sense it's different.

Install bundled apps from older OS disk?

Is it possible to install the bundled apps that came with my MacBook in OS X 10.4 now that I'm running OS X 10.5? Annoying enough, those apps all seem to require running the system installer, which asks me to erase the hard drive before I even get to customize the install.
My copy of iMovie has gotten messed up and needs to be reinstalled. I've verified that if I do wipe the drive and reinstall 10.4 and iMovie, iMovie will work again. Right now I am back in 10.5 having restored my files using Time Machine. I'd like to be able to reinstall iMovie without having to set up my whole system from scratch again (seems to destroy the point of having Time Machine at all if I have to make manual backups so I can manually recover from incidents like this). Is there any way of doing that?
I tried downloading iMovie HD from iLife 06 but it won't run because I don't have iLife '08.

yes, you can install them and you definitely don't need to run the system installer for that.
insert the original install disk that came with your computer, open it in finder and double-click on "install bundled software only". Follow the instructions.

Can I install OneNote 2003 from the recovery disk?

I need a clarification (both my local Toshiba dealer and Microsoft helpdesk have proven to be equaly useless)
I have a Toshiba Satellite and product recovery
Recently (per mistake) I uninstalled Microsoft OneNote 2003
It is still on my recovery CD, I have licence number but I cannot install it without reinstaling whole system and formatting my hard disc?
And I really don't want to do that.
Is there any other way?
Thanks for your help

It seems you didnt understand the whole thing
The point is that you get the software (for free) in connection with your notebook.
Its is not a full licence. Its an OEM licence this means that you can use this software only on this notebook.
Because of that you have to use the Recovery disk if you want to use all the additional (non-Toshiba) programs.
The Toshiba tools and software can be downloaded from the Toshiba page but you will be not able to download non-Toshiba software.

Can I install bundled software from a previous Mac onto Intel based Mac?

Happy New Year to all!
I have an G5 iMac computer at work (running 10.3.x, I think) which has Quicken 2005 files on it, and at home I have an Intel-based iMac running OS 10.5.8 and a laptop 15 inch MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. I'd like to be able to open those Quicken 2005 files at home. When I migrated software initially onto the new computers, it must have been from a Mac with Quicken 2004 installed, and that of course won't open files from a later version.
How can I retrieve Quicken 2005 from my computer at work and install it on the laptop? Would Migration Assistant work for a single application? Or, could I just copy the application on a flash drive and retrieve it from there?

It does, but it won't run software that is incompatible with OS X. It's not that type of emulator. Rosetta is only a code translator that translates PPC code into Intel code. It isn't an emulator for running an older version of OS X for older and incompatible software.
You will need to find a version of Quicken that runs satisfactorily on the new machine. Now you can try Quicken 2005, but I think you will find that it will not run reliably if at all. You may need to get up to a later version. Of course the best solution is the current running version of Quicken, whichever version that is. And, I think it will be an Intel compatible version.

Installing old application from iMac flatscreen DVD

Hello,
I have a MacBook Air which works fine.
My 3 year old iMac flatscreen went dark screen and cannot be accessed so and I can't get Appleworks off it.
I'm told Appleworks was bundled with the iMac install DVD but when i try to install to the Air from the iMac disc the message appears " the disc is not supported on this model of computer ".
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ken Deighton..

Thanks Dave for drawing my attention the wonderful program Pacifist.
I have been able to access the original Clarisworks package in my 11 year old iMac install disc.
I would like to update this by downloads to Appleworks 5 or 6 ( don;t care which ).
But my Air won't open Claris - needs Classic OS presumably?
Can Classic be extracted from my 3 year old flat screen iMac install discs?
Or my 4 year old PowerBook install discs?
Will Classic run ok the Air please ?.
Thanks for all your help.

My disk set up

I'm trying to install mountain lion from a partitioned disk on my HDD

i have the software and stuff set up on my partitioned part of my hdd. but when i try to boot into it. i get a grey screen with a stop sign on it. help me if you can please

Given the model, if a MacBook3.1 (13-inch Late 2007) the last system
supported is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. You could get it from Mac App Store
after buying it; they'd send you an email with unlock code to get/use it.
And of course the computer has to be running at least Snow Leopard
10.6.8 to access the Mac App Store, App Store, and iTunes store, etc.
With the earlier model MacBooks, usually the better experience is with
Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and older applications that do not require much
additional system resources, yet Late 2007 upgrades to 6GB RAM.
There is more info on a variety of MacBook (2006 to 2010) builds at
everymac.com & you can check the technical specs across the board.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
Two at everymac are said to be Late 2007, while MacTracker shows
only one (with EMC & model# w/ two processor variants) Both vintage.
Sorry, the reason why it won't install:
Mt Lion OS X 10.8 can't be run in it.
Good luck, in any event...
