Installing iLife 08- Help!!

I just bought iLife 08 and installed it on my imac. For some reason I only have the new iMovies on my mac. How do I get the new iPhoto, iTunes, etc updated? Should my old movies be trasferred into the new iMovies? I am totally lost. Help!!

imovie 08 requires the highest spec of all the ilife apps, so I doubt it's a spec issue. imovie 6 should be moved to a new folder in your applications folder and retained, projects you made with im6 won't get imported into im08 you will have to import the files (not the projects themselves) manually using options in im08.
Did you possibly do a custom install and only ask the installer to install imovie, if not then space may be an issue or the permissions of your older ilife apps may be incorrect stopping them being overwritten, but in either case I would have expected you to receive an error message.

I installed the new iLife and immediately my iPhoto is bunk. when i open the application it says "loading photos" with a little circle going round and round. and round and round. for hours if i let it. nothing else happens. can't import, can't see my library, bonzos.
I tried REinstalling iLife, and that didn't work.
any suggestions? what happenned?
thank you,
Olivia

Olivia,
don't worry, you are not alone. there are a lot of people here that can help you.
I just want to be clear on a couple of points.
-What version of iPhoto did you have before and was the library working good before you installed iLife 5?
-You installed iLife 5 from the DVD
-you tried installing iLife again from the DVD
-Are all your iLife apps loose in the Applications folder?
-You would have known if you had Keyword Assistant because you have to download it and install it yourself.
-no need to register to make it work
-I will give you one thing to try first, it's always the first thing to do when encountering problems with an application. Drag the iPhoto Preference file to the desktop, or delete it.
Preference file
Launch iPhoto and see if it loads.
- You can also hold down the Option key when launching iPhoto and choose to open your library. Navigate to where your library is and choose it.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer and then choose it.
-If that doesn't work, you can launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys. This will force a rebuild (if you can even get it going I don't know) Choose the first 3 options first and do the rebuild (if you even get that far) If that doesn't work, choose all the options. If that doesn't work, check out this page and see if there is anything else you haven't tried.

Help Installing iLife '08

I purchase a new macbook pro a couple months ago and it came with iLife '08, I had a previous macbook pro that had iLife '06, when I transfered everything from my old macbook pro tp my new one it transfered iLife 06, how would I install iLife 08 back into my new macbook pro? I know the computer comes with those 2 CDs but I dont know which one I should put in my computer... I dont want to lose all my information on my new macbook so I dont want to reinstall leopard as whole...I just want to install iLife '08....Thank youu!!!!!!!

I don't know I was wondering that too, I was at my work's computer and now I'm home...weird...
also another question...I was looking at my applications and I have a folder that says iWork 06, I'm guessing that was from my old macbook pro when I had Tiger...does Leopard come with iWork 08? if so how can I install that?

Help installing Ilife.

I bought a used late 2013 macbook pro that was purchased in Febuary 2014 but the original owner never installed Ilife (iPhoto, iMovie etc.) How do I install them? I already tried reinstalling Mavericks but it doesn't give me the options for more software.

Open the Mac App Store, sign in with an Apple ID associated with those applications, and download them from the Purchases tab. If you don't have one, go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, and contact Apple.

I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete. What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app. It says it is damaged or incomplete. What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures? I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated. Software update usually takes care of it. It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version. I've not tried that.
You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto. Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store. That is the version you need. You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
good luck.
PS. your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder. don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

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 unable to open Photo on my MacBook Pro after installing ilife 11 from a disc. The message I get says "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do?!

I am unable to open iPhoto on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.9.3) after installing ilife 11 from a disc. The message I get is "you can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. What can I do?! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reinstall it.This time delete the receipts first.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Important:
As you're on 10.9.3 you'll need to update iPhoto to v9.5 before opening it. Use Software update.

External monitor no longer works after installing iLife '09

Before, the external monitor (Apple Cinema HD display) connected via DVI to Mini-DVI adapter was working fine. However, after installing iLife '09 and restarting, the iMac will no longer detect the external display attached to it. I even tried installing a different (but same model) display but it still will not detect.

I'm not sure how installing an application would cause that to happen. Have you shut down (powered off) the iMac completely, and then restarted, since this problem occurred?
Some display settings are stored in PRAM, so if you have not already, try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not help, you can try disconnecting the iMac from power and reconnecting it, using the reset SMC (power management) procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
When you reconnect it, initially connect the iMac to a wall outlet, by itself. Leave all peripherals disconnected, except for your USB keyboard/mouse. Make sure it is working properly, then connect only the external display.
If it still does not work, as a test, start up with your Mac OS X installation disc. You are not installing anything, but note if the second display is displaying the background image or not when you are booted from a different system.

I needed idvd, but since my iMac is newer, I didn't have idvd on it. I installed iLife 11. I should not have installed the iPhoto part because it was 9.1 and my iMac was 9.2. So now my iPhoto wouldn't work. I went to iPhoto Library organizer.

I needed iDvd, but since my iMac is newer, I didn't have iDvd on it. I installed iLife 11. I shouldn't have installed the iPhoto part because now my iPhoto wouldn't work since iLife 11 was 9.1 and my iMac had 9.2. So I used iPhoto Library Manager to create a new library. That was working, but my computer ran out of hard drive room since my original iPhoto had 137 GB of photos. My new iPhoto library had the majority of my pics and the iPhoto now worked with those pics. But now I still had all of those original pics in my hard drive. I thought that by getting rid of the original iPhoto on the iPhoto Library Manager I would get rid of all of those original pics. I now have no access to them but they are in my hard drive and I can't do much with my iMac because it is all clogged up with those original pics - I think. How do I get rid of my original iPhoto pics out of my hard drive?

What system are you running? If it's Mt. Lion go to the App Store and sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the Mac. Go to Purchases and download iPhoto again. The current version is 9.4.3.
If you're unable to download iPhoto from the App Store you can reomstall iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk and update it from the Apple Downloads website to the highest version you can get to (I was able to update all the way to 9.4.3 via the updaters). Then if iPhoto can't open the library use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild it and it will rebuild it compatible with your version of iPhoto via this iPLM tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

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!
MacBook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

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.

Only 90MB disk space after installing iLife '11 - how to move iLife?

Hi, my installation of OS X is on a small SSD and I just barely had enough space to install iLife '11. I need more free disk space though so I need to move the largest iLife programs or maybe the whole thing. Obviously I wouldn't be posting here if the iLife '11 installer would let me install to my external drive but that wasn't the case. I tried "moving" iMovie but I got an error saying that I didn't have permissions. Thanks for any help!
MY LIBRARIES ARE EMPTY! So moving them won't help!

Well - I partially figured out my own solution. You can move iLife. I moved the apple loops in /Library/Audio and all the iLife directories in /Library/Application Support to my storage drive. I made symbolic links for each folder I moved. Then I moved the apps to the other drive. I also moved my home folder - thanks Tom. Now I have 4GB of space back and I'm not seeing any more slowdown. I realize now if I have any other problems I'll just symbolic link more stuff off my startup SSD. Works like a charm for now. I'll update this thread if I run into any trouble. I ran GarageBand and all the loops play instantly off the symbolic links. So to all of you - remember to think creatively! My only alternative was to reinstall os x on the regular HDD - glad I took a moment to learn about symbolic links.

CANNOT OPEN OR EDIT PHOTOS SINCE INSTALLING iLIFE 08 and OS 10.5

I have recently installed iLIFE 08 and OS 10.5.1 and I cannot open or edit or use any of the photos in iPhoto. I get a white circle with an exclamation point in the center each time I try open open a photo.
I did back up iPhoto before installing the new software. Should I reinstall from the back up or is there another fix for this problem. Thank you in advance for the help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I believe that's an indication of a permissions issue. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option to repair permissions.
If that doesn't fix it download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner section and the current group in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.
