Installing iLife 08 (DVD) on G4 Cube (500MHz)

Seemingly simple issue:
Install some components of iLife08 on my older Cube desktop; specifically iPhoto 7.
No DVD player in the Cube, but have both a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air w/ DVD players (and yes, I did try to connect the USB DVD drive for my Air to the Cube and it doesn't work = sigh).
In the past, I have simply connected the Cube to another Mac, booted it with command Z so it boots as a drive off the other laptop and installed off a DVD that way.
But the iLife DVD seems to prohibit this.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
It is just the iPhoto application I am looking to update from v6 to the newer v7 to work on some projects.

Dave, welcome to Apple Discussions from a fellow Texan.
Try the Target Disk mode. Many people install Tiger using a DVD this way. This link gives the instructions. How To: Installing Tiger Using FireWire Target Disk Mode

After installing iLife '11 DVD, iPhoto is now damaged or incomplete

I have a MacBook Pro purchased in 2011. I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5. iDVD is no longer included with the iLife suite but I was able to purchase an iLife '11 disk which has iDVD on it. When I installed the disk I inadvertently installed everything and not just iDVD. Now iPhoto says it is damaged or incomplete and won't open. I do not have any disks of the original programs as they were preloaded onto my MacBook Pro. Can I uninstall iLife '11 and revert back to my previous version of iPhoto? Can I then only install iDVD? Will I lose any of my photos or videos?

you need to update to the latest version for your OS - what version do you currently have?
Will I lose any of my photos or videos?
Not if you have a good backup - if you do not have a good backup then sooner or later you will lose them and all of your other files

IPhoto library DVD won't open after installing iLife '06

Apple Care recently prompted me to erase and reinstall. After doing so, I installed iLife '06. My iPhoto library was backed up to a DVD. How do I now import those photos into my new iPhoto? When I insert the DVD, I get the message "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto - You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." Now what?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iLife '06

Hey. Thanks for all your help. Got 6.0.4 and was able to import my photos. Had to KEEP the existing library AND create a new library using my backup, then import. Crazy. Yeah!

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

I'd like to use iPhoto '09 with Lion. Tried to install from time machine back-up no go. Tried to install from iLife '09 DVD no go.

I'd like to run iPhoto '09 on Lion. Tried to install on Lion from Time Machine backup. Got message iPhoto won't work because of a missing Library file. Tried to install iPhoto '09 from iLife '09 DVD. Got message that it cannot be installed on my system. iMovie runs previous versions and iTunes runs previous versions.
Why can't iPhoto run on Lion? My wife has over 10,000 photos in her library and she's taken the time to sort them into folders. I've recovered the library with the folder sort but have to use it on an external drive with a Snow Leopard system on it. The latest iPhoto ('11) has no provision for organizing into folders. I'd really like to have everything in one place with one OS (Lion) and two iPhoto apps '09 and '11 and I suppose 2 photo libraries. I've been trying to resolve this ever since iPhoto '11 came out and I installed it. I can't begin to tell you how difficult it is to answer the question " Where are my folders?" brian25

I tried to check the Library setup on iMovie and iTunes. The iMovie Libraries seem to be part of the applications and my iTunes applications have become Russian so I have another problem. I tried to install iPhoto '09 again from my iLife '09 disk. When I selected "Custom Install" to load iPhoto only, the box I got said " A later version of this application is already installed" The iPhoto item which I would choose for a custom install says "skip". Yesterday I ignored this and went on with an install. The final screen said "Installation Successful" There was no iPhoto '09 on my hard drive. As far as I can tell, you cannot load iPhoto '09 from a Time Machine backup. There is no Lion compatable iPhoto '09 in the App store, and iPhoto '09 will not install onto Lion from the iLife '09 disk.I don't understand exactly what you mean by "load my backup and convert again" Do you mean go to the app store and access my purchases and re- download iPhoto '11 and reinstall it and re-convert my iPhoto library? I suppose what I should have done originally was to duplicate my iPhoto '09 library and put it on an external drive for safekeeping. Who knew it wouldn't install on Lion from Time Machine? When I downloaded iPhoto '!! from the app store I should have duplicated it and saved a copy to an external hard drive for safekeeping and then proceeded with installing iPhoto '11 on my hard drive.I suppose when the Thunderbolt concept is fully realized and monster Thunderbolt external droves are in common use this will seem a lot easier. I have rebuilt my iPhoto '09 library and have it on a hard disk that has a bootable copy of Snow Leopard and a working copy of iPhoto '09 also. I think you are telling me to reinstall iPhoto '11 on my internal hard drive and reconvert the iPhoto library used by iPhoto '11. Right? brian25

How to install iPhoto an DVD only from my iLife 09 disk

Following hard drive replacement I now have Snow Leopard. I tried to install iphoto and DVD only from iLife 09 disk but could not find a way to install them only.
The full bundle will use all the free disk space I have which is 4 gbs. Following install of SnowLeopard from new disk iphoto and DVD did not install.

You can do what you want
BUT
you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space for normal operations so you need to find a way to reduce disk usage - 4 GB is not enough and will cause slow operation and possible damage to systems or data
You seriously need to free up disk space - moving your iPhoto library to an external drive may be the answer -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Using OS X 10.8.4. Installed iLife 11 to get iDVD. iMovie ready to burn through iDVD. Attempted burn. iDVD says burn is complete. Burn lines are on DVD R. Same disk cannot be read and is considered blank by computer and DVD player. How do I burn properly?

Hello TchrDi,
I suggest this article named Archived - iDVD: Troubleshooting issues with burning discs found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1583.
It is pretty lengthy, but also pretty thorough.

ILife Apps Gone! Re-Install from Leopard DVD?

OK.
I went to import some pictures today, and noticed that I'm missing my iLife '08 Apps... I really don't know what happened to them, and I'm pretty adept at using my Mac and computers in general, so I don't HOW this has happened.
My question is, I can't figure out how to JUST install iLife '08 from the Leopard install discs, is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks

Before any installation, it is wise to backup your data*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
A clone would have ensured your iLife applications would not have been lost prior to installation.
If your Mac shipped with Leopard, the restore discs include iLife.
If your Mac shipped prior to Leopard (October 26, 2007) you won't find iLife on the Leopard installer you used to install Leopard on your Mac, but will find iLife on your restore discs which shipped with your Mac.
If you purchased your Mac prior to iLife '08 (August 7, 2007), you'll need the retail iLife '08 package to install iLife '08 on your Mac.
The restore disc install instructions are here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61802
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301468
If neither of them seems to work, you might be able to extract the important files with http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist.

I don't know where to look to find the information about the 24-bit audio. I clicked on the System Profiler and looked at audio, but it didn't say anything about it. If there is anyone that can answer this question, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
Joe

If you're on 10.6.8 you can use either '09 or '11.
As for the Audio question, if you go to Audio MIDI Setup (Applications > Utilities), and select the Audio Devices Window (from the Window menu in the menu bar if it doesn't open on that one by default) and see the drop-down in the middle of the pane - you'll see that 24-bit is available.

Trying to install iLife 06 on MacBook Pro. Apps to install are greyed out.

I transferred all my files from a G4 PowerBook 17" to a MacBook Pro 17" just recently and accidentally overwrote the Universal Binary version of iLife that came installed on the MacBook Pro with the PowerPC version of iLife. I called Apple and they said to delete the old apps and then reinstall the new apps from the iLife 06 DVD if I can.
I have the install DVD, but when I go to "Customize" and attempt to install the apps, it greys out the main apps (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD and iDVD).
When I go to "Easy Install" it offers an "upgrade" option. I have since deleted the apps and there is nothing to upgrade.
Please help me! Thanks!

Open the /Library/Receipts/ folder, move any receipts related to iLife and the iLife applications out of the folder, and try installing iLife again. Regardless of whether or not the installation was successful, move back any receipts which weren't recreated and throw away the ones which were.

Installing iLife '11 on MacBook Pro with no Disc Drive

I bought a 2nd hand late 2012 Macbook Pro with Retina Screen. I reinstalled from a Time Machine back up. This laptop should have come with iLife '11 but since it has no superdrive it didn't come on a DVD with the laptop, so how do I get iLife '11 without just buying it off the app store?

If it's second hand then it cannot come with OS X, iWork, or iLife because they are all attached to the Apple ID and password of the seller. If you want iLife you will have to purchase your own copy from the App Store or already own your own copy of iLife.
If the seller was smart enough to remove the computer from the list of registered devices at Apple, then you may be able to re-register it under your name which would enable you to install iLife without having to purchase it. If you have used iLife on your other computer, then you can re-download it freely for this computer.

Updated to Tiger. Now unable to install iLife '05

A while back I wanted to upgrade from OS 10.2 to Tiger. I didn't have a DVD drive (just a regular CD-RW drive) so I bought a Pioneer DVR-110 super drive and installed it. At the time I didn't have all of my files backed up, so I didn't choose the erase and install option...I just chose the option to update the OS and keep the data.
After I performed the OS upgrade to Tiger, I then installed iLife '05. Everything seemed to work fine except there were a few items in the trash which would never seem to empty. Also, my computer was running a little bit slower.
After about one month, the finder frequently would "not respond" to certain basic commands such as opening files and folders.
To remedy the situation, I backed up all of my data onto DVD's and decided to perform an erase and install of Tiger. Things seemed to work fine. However, when I tried to install iLife again, the installer would not properly open. The Finder would still issue me the warning "not responding" and I seemed to be stuck. I opened disk utility and ran a verification and the verification passed. I thought that was weird so I ran the verification again and was told the volume needed to be repaired; inconsistent results. I wasn't sure if it was the installation disk or not, so I took the disc over to the local electronics store (by the way, I live in Japan, but all of my stuff was bought in the US) and inserted the iLife DVD into the stores iMac. The DVD checked out fine and the installer came up the way it should. So, I know there is something wrong with my computer, but not quite sure what.
My Power Mac G4 Dual 533 MHz is running with firmware 4.1.8f5. Could this be a firmware issue? There is a firmware update available, but it's been available for quite some time and I've never needed it before. In addition, my computer didn't give me any firmware warnings. I don't think it's the DVD player because it's worked fine before (didn't need to install any drivers before) and I can insert other DVD's and they work fine. It's just the iLife install DVD that is acting up.
Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.
Power Mac G4 Dual 533 MHz Digital Audio Mac OS X (10.4)

Thanks for your replies. I have backed up my data, reinstalled OS 10.4 by performing an erase and install, and am still having issues. Since I essentially started from scratch, I don't really know what to do. Things I still can't do:
-Start up from the OS 9 cd. I am trying to update my firmware, but can't because I can't run OS 9. The firmware update requires running OS 9 from the hard disk. I currently don't have OS 9 installed.
-Open the iLife DVD to install the software. Everytime I try opening the install DVD, the finder freezes.
-Update to later versions of OS 10. Everytime I try to update, applicable installer says I cannot perform the necessary update.
I removed third party memory and re-installed OS 10.4 again, but that didn't solve the problems I'm having. Does anybody have any ideas????
Thanks

How to upgrade Tiger and install iLife without a hi-speed connection?

I recently sold my 17" iMac G4 to an internet buyer who wants to edit movies. The last thing I did was reinstall Tiger, erasing all of my files to provide the buyer with a clean slate. First, I'm not sure whether this installation would include iLife and, if so, which version? I included with the computer a Tiger disc and iLife '06. The buyer loves the machine but writes that it tells her she can't install iLife '06 without upgrading her version Tiger, which requires a high-speed connection.
Is she interpreting things correctly? Is there any way to download the Tiger upgrades if you don't have DSL or cable? If not, is there any way to install iLife '06 in lower (earlier) versions of Tiger?
(Finally, might I have cause to breathe somewhat easier knowing that she has at least some version of iLife as a result of my installing the original Tiger?)
Thanks for any tips that I might pass on to a truly grateful buyer and new Apple convert,
Cap

If she has a friend, library, internet cafe with a BB connection, even a PC, she can get the Updates from apple>downloads without Software Update, then use a CD or memory stick to take to her computer.
You could download all the updates, burn em to a CD/DVD and mail it to her!?

Problem installing iLife '04 with g4 OS x 10.2.8.

I finally got a DVD drive for my G4 quicksilver.
I am running OS x 10.2.8.
I am trying to install ilife '04 from DVD to get garage band, I had previously installed itunes and imovie from the cdr.
Now when I try to install ilife from the DVD I get the message " This installation cannot proceed because one of the following applications is running ....garageband, itunes, iphoto, imovie, iDVD "
I am not running any of these at the time of install, and cannot find a way of "quitting" any of these programs ... what can I do?
Can I uninstall these, how ?

JAZZCATT, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do a Shutdown & then a Startup. That should ensure that no apps are running. Then try the install.
