Installing GarageBand from scratch

Sorry to be so basic, but I'm sure GarageBand was installed when I first set up this PC about 2 years ago, but after a couple of crashes and surgery no longer! I downloaded V2 and tried to install, but told that "An eligible GarageBand application was not found in /Applications", then I tried to install what I thought was 1.1, but it was an update too, so where do I get the base download from?

Forgive me. No offense intended.
Since you were not familiar with iLife '05, I assumed you were new to the platform.
GarageBand 2 is a commercial product. It is provided free with new computer purchases but if GarageBand 2 did not ship with your computer, you need to purchase it as part of the iLife '05 package for US$80.
iLife is sold separately from Mac OS X. So if you buy a Tiger install DVD, you don't get iLife in the price. It's extra.
Any subsequent version of iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and GarageBand will also be bundled free with new Macs at the appropriate time, and must also be purchased separately for owners of older Macs, if Apple sticks to its current plan.
I think they are going to rev these products about every eighteen months, so if you want to keep GarageBand up to date in the coming years, you'll need to plan on the expense.

    My receiver has AirPlay so I can play iTunes music through it - never tried YouTube - I'm guessing that would need an Apple TV.

  • Installing Mavericks from Scratch

    I have just recently changed jobs and want to wipe my 2009 MacBook Pro 17' clean and install a Solid State Drive.
    I don't have any of the old OS Install DVDs and would like to install Mavericks or Yosemite from Scratch.
    How do I buy/obtain a copy of this that I can install on the new Solid State Drive?

    You would have to install Snow Leopard (10.6) first. You can get SL for $20 from the Apple Store here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard..
    Then Mavericks (or Yosemite, which is supposed to come out in a few days) would be a free download from the App Store.

  • Install OS from scratch on an old 20" iMac?

    Hi,
    I inherited an old 20" iMac (the white plasic model). The hard drive has been completely wiped out (it was done as a security measure by the company getting rid of it), and I didn't get any CDs with it.
    I know the machine is an Intel Core Duo 2.0 Ghz.
    What do I need to get this machine running again? I have Leopard CDs from a much newer aluminum iMac, as well as Snow Leopard upgrade discs, but I don't think either of those will enable me to install the OS from scratch on a completely blank machine.
    Thanks.

    Use the Snow Leopard upgrade disks.  They will work.
    Regards,
    Captfred
    To install on a machine with no OS, hold the C key down when booting.  This will boot from the SL disc (it's a slow process).

  • How to install mavericks from scratch

    Hi
    I have just upgraded my imac with an OWC Mercury 120 Gb SSD and increased ram up to 12 Gb.
    The upgrade was made by a service where I sent the mac with OSX Maverics and a few apps previously installed. Everything runs fine (no more tha 3 secs to start PS Elements) and I started to reinstall apps from my time machine hd, but later noticed that the Applications folder exists both in the SSD and Macintosh HD wich makes me think that osx resides in Macintosh HD. Now, as my iMac is middle 201, it seems I have to start the install from DVD Snow Leopard and not Maverics directly. Before the upgrade I tried as an exercise to install Maverics from an USB stick as suggested in a forum, but when the progress timer said 1 second left, no further progress and had to reinstall SL, then Lion and later Mavericks, quite a long procedure if there is not a shorter way.
    Thanks

  • Installing Leopard from scratch, then installing old apps

    Hi,
    I want to reinstall Leopard, so none of my documents etc are on the computer, as if I bought it from new. But then I want to reinstall my apps like Aperture, Office, iWork etc. How do I do this, if I want to use the same purchase code as previously (don't want to buy the software again)?
    Are the purchase codes related to my laptop itself, and therefore I can use this again after reinstalling Leopard?
    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
    Mc

    As long as you have the installation serial numbers and the original disks, you should have no problems installing them on your reinstall of Leopard.
    If iLife came with your computer, then you will have to install that from the original disks that came with your computer using the "Bundled Software" install....

  • Does re-installing OSX from scratch make XP unbootable?

    I'm considering upgrading to Leopard, and in doing so would like to wipe my Tiger installation and start from scratch. Will doing so wipe some boot sector stuff so that my Bootcamp XP partition will be unbootable? I hardly use OSX and use Windows 99% of the time, so preserving my existing XP installation is far more important than upgrading OSX.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Hi minimoog,
    the 'boot'-informations are saved in the 200MB-EFI-partitions on the harddisk, which usually are invisible.
    If you only erase the Tiger partition and in no way alter the partitions or repartition your HD, the the Windows partition will stay intact and bootable.
    Personally I would suggest making a backup of your Windows partition before the Leopard installation, just in case.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Do I need to install XP from Scratch, with Boot Camp

    Dear All
    My PC decided to pack in which runs Win XP, I also have a Mac but need to use Windows for various other apps, I am considering upgrading to Leopard and noticed Boot Camp for dual boot.
    My question really is, would I be able to remove the Disk Drive from the PC and connect it into the Mac and it run OK, or do I need to re-install Windows XP from the start?
    Help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks

    As you have a PowerMac G5, you (as already stated) can NOT use Boot Camp.

    In "theory" you could use Virtual PC, but this will not allow you to do what you want to do.

  • Install SL from scratch or upgrade over 10.5.6 ?

    I'm certain this has been addressed but I can't put my finger on it just right now..
    I installed SL onto a fresh SSD drive and it works just fine (have not tried TM yet). I notice this must be an upgrade to Leopard as there are few of myh previous applications that came with Leopard. I suspect this is because I did a fresh install without the previous version of Leopard present. That's fine I guess but now how do I go about getting these appson this SSD SL disc without doing a 10.5.X install and SL install ?
    Thanks all

    Thanks balto and WL..well since it's already installed and taylored with my personal tweaks I'm gonna leave it. I've just added ilife09 (had a stand alone) and FCE4. This gives me the the option to taylor the apps on this Intel SSD and keep to the basic/must.
    My question which you answered thank-you kindly was to confirm SL did not indeed include such apps. I suspect I can move things around with the "migration assistant",,don't you just luv these Macs..:)

  • My iPad constantly requires rebooting since latest software update.I have done clean install started from scratch and it still continues

    My iPad 2 has given me many months of hassle free usage. I have recently [earlyApril] updated the software. Now every time I go to use it I am forced to hold bottom and top button to boot IPad .Eventually it kicks in and as long as I'm using it its fine. If I leave alone it goes down and requires rebooting.
    Have tried total factory reset and it continues to malfunction. apple have informed me that a hardware repair would be £206 for a fix or replacement.I find this unacceptable considering the iPad has been well cared for & never dropped etc .Any help greatly appreciated.

    So, I have managed to get my iPad to stop showing the "connect to iTunes" screen. I did this by plugging it in to my husband's PC and trying to restore from the backup I left there many many months ago.
    The restore FAILED error 3194 (I looked it up it's the same error as the one I got on my macintosh "device is isn't eligible for the requested rebuild"
    But the restore attempt mad the "connect to iTunes" screen go away, now it has 4.3.1 again with the special multitouch update.
    BUT I STILL CAN'T RESTORE! Why not? I've been searching all over the web and I can find nothing that helps.
    It's not like I jailbroke it... can anyone help me please?

  • Arch from scratch

    Hi there,
    I am planning on installing LFS next week with a good friend, for the learning experience. But the lack of a package manager is a big drawback.
    Would it be possible to get pacman running on lfs but then also make it possible to upgrade every package on my system. This includes the packages build from source before I installed pacman. Then I could make everything i686 compliant so I could bzip my files and extract it elsewhere and rebuild it for pentium4 or athlon-xp on the computer it's meant for.
    I have found some wiki pages on how to install pacman from scratch and make it work on LFS but it doesn't really say how to upgrade packages allready installed. The arch creator, Judd Vinet, made archlinux kind off like this. I guess it would be a very good experience to know the ins and outs of a linux system.

    Let's see here, how to explain this.
    The way Arch, or any distro for that matter, started off was as an LFS system. This system, we'll call it the bootstrap system since that's basically what it is, serves as an environment in which packages for an entire new system can be created as packages. Once the packages are all built, they can be installed as a new distro and the bootstrap system gets dumped. In other words the bootstrap system ends up being an entirely separate system from the eventual distro, and just a way to get the distro itself on its legs and running.
    As I understand it, what you want to do is create something like a bootstrap system and sort of install it in/on top of itself. It seems to me that while it's possible to do, it's incredibly difficult, and  PITA to say the least. As an alternative idea, what you might want to do is compile pacman from source, then compile all of BASE using pacman, and take the resulting packages and install them to another partition and in that sense make your own Arch from scratch

  • Migration Assistant vs. starting from scratch -- what's better

    My new MacBook is arriving today? Should I use Migration Assistant or start from scratch and install the applications and set all the preferences myself.
    I have used Migration Assistant to copy everything from an iBook to my current MacBook. If I use it one more time, won't I have a lot of extraneous system files and additional garbage that I'm copying over from two computers ago? Isn't it better to install Office from scratch?
    But if I don't use Migration Assistant, how do I install my iTunes and iPhoto libraries and keep playlists and settings intact?
    Please advise! I'm sure the Migration Assistant is the easier route, but I'm just worried about who-knows-how-many hidden system files are being copied over from my original iBook!

    migration assistant is the easiest as you say. you can choose to migrate user data only in which case it will only migrate your home directory (this will take care of all your itunes and iphoto libraries) and you'd have to reinstall the applications from scratch. this is a bit of a pain if you have many applications. if your computer is working ok I'd probably stick with Migration Assistant.

  • My mid-2009 MacBook Pro's hard drive is near death. I want to install a new SSD and work from scratch. Please help.

    Recently, my mid-2009 MacBook Pro has been crashing when I close the screen ("it's having a problem recognizing when the screen is closed/open and deciding what to do, error overload etc.").  It wasn't an SMC issue so I took it to an Apple Store, ran some tests, and decided my hard-drive is failing.
    Not wanting to spend an insane amount of money on some "official apple hard-drive," I want to install a new 256GB SSD instead.  Hoping to squeeze as much life out of this computer as possible (in January I upgraded from 4 GB RAM to 8 GB), I would like to try and start from scratch, i.e. back-up important folders, music, photos etc. and only take that to the new hard-drive.  If someone could explain all the steps I need to take to safely complete this task (or point me in the direction of a guide) I'd appreciate it.
    Potentially Important info:
         Model:                mid-2009 13'' MacBook Pro
         Processor:          2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
         Memory:             4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
         Software:            OS X 10.8.4
    Some additional questions I have...
         Should I be concerned with making a fully bootable back-up (not sure what that is called) as well?  If so, what program should I use to create it?
         How much more life should I try and push out of this computer?  I'm an engineering student and really only use it for web-surfing, music, and
              word-processing.  The batter was replaced in March, the RAM was upgraded to 8 GB in January.  When the battery was swapped, the trackpad went           nuts so that's new too.  Only other issues are a slightly loose audio jack and the left side of the screen being slightly wobbly (hinge is worn I'm told).

    Well there is no "official Apple HD / SSD" in any regard, no worries there.
    If as you say youre only using same for surfing and word processing, why the need for a SSD? You would not notice any speed diff. in use on either of those,....in boot times yes, but in word or surfing, not.
    You can push it likely a few more years, for mere surfing and word processing,...many many years.   Up TO the point that any major fixes become unrealistic relative to getting a new(ER) machine.
    Concerned with a boot clone?  yes and no.  Its an ideal immediate recovery, since you cannot boot from Time Machine, ....in case of HD crash, recovery takes seconds from boot, or 20 mins or so from removing old and installing a clone. All the prosumers and pros have at least one updated clone of their prime machines.
    You can do a "fresh install" if you choose, however if your current drive is FINE, why not merely clone it and save yourself some headache?...., but that is your prerogative of course.    Ideally 2 drives, one to backup your data (you need that regardless of installing a new drive for sake of a backup/archive,...ideally 2 actually, not merely one).
    You could clone internal to NEW SSD/HD , ...then offload unnecessary files to an external to free up space and clutter and run off the clone, and this would only take a couple hours......the clone itself takes approx. 40+ mins.
    CLONE Apps :
    Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.
