Installing ilife 08 on imac g4

I have read that you can install everything from ilife 08 on to a G4 machine except imovie. I am running leopard on a 1ghz imac g4 with 512 mb memory and 80 GB hard drive. Got lots of room on the HD. I was trying to install ilife 08 from the disk, but DVD would never mount. I know I can try installing via Target Disk Mode, but I have misplaced my firewire cable, so that is out. Is there any other ideas on how to install, or why it wont mount?

Do you meet all those requirements?

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • I've bought a secondhand iMac and can't install iLife

    I've bought a secondhand iMac. Since the previous owner's AppleID is related to this iMac, I reinstalled the iMac with the help of Apple supportdesk. Now everything should be clean and I want to install iLife with my AppleID, but I get an error trying to do so. I click on accept and fill in my AppleID en password, but it says that the app is allready assigned to an other AppleID and therefor I have to buy iLife. And even if I should want to buy the software (which I don't want to, because it is part of this Lion-version), I can't buy it.
    So my question is, does someone knows how to attach my AppleID to this iMac and all of it's software/App store?
    I've also talked with AppleSupport and raised a ticket. And in the reply via mail there was no solution other than go to this community.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Dave,
    Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I don't have the installation disk, he said he bought it without any.
    I've done a clean install of Lion with my own AppleID, so why is the AppleID of the previous owner still in here?
    I've tried to purchase iLife, but that is also not possible. I keep on getting into a circle...
    If you didn't erase the drive before reinstalling, that's probably why the previous owner's Apple ID is still being shown. When dealing with second-hand equipment, it's almost always a good idea to erase the drive (I even prefer to do a "zero all data" as a precaution and test of the drive) and then reinstall everything. That ensures both that any software you install you have a license for and that no malicious software could possible remain.
    What does the Mac App Store say when you try to repurchase iLife?
    Regards.

  • New Ilife '09 will not Install on New 24" Imac but installed fine on IBookG

    Can someone explain what is going on with this new Ilife '09 DVD? I recieved it today and found that after 2 attempts to upgrade on my brand new IMAC there was nothing ugraded. However, when I inserted the disk in my IBookG4 the software was downloaded and installed perfectly.
    Curious note, when I actually looked at the "customized" install on the new IMac, it shows there is NO data( meaning 0MB) where when I put it into the IBook G4 it had MB after each application.
    Is there something I don't know that is blocking this upgrade on my new IMAC? Is the DVD unable to read in my new IMac. HELP!!!

    By super search with the spotlight, I discovered that the ILife '09 installed on the HD and the ILife'08 appswere sitting in my User name "house". I clicked on the each of the new Apps on the HD and each one of the '09 updates occurred. Needless to say I am up and running. Thank you for responding. Issue resolved.

  • Why won't my iLife'09 disk mount/install on my new iMac?

    Trying to install iLife'09 on my my new iMac running Lion, disk won't mount correctly - found it using disk tools, but app/files won't open. Why?

    I might add, the installer may only be Snow Leopard compatible, but the applications may be Lion compatible as stand alone.  I have iLife '08 applications that transfered to Lion just fine.  Not sure if the installer is PowerPC or Intel.  That would make a difference.  http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist if it is Universal may be able to open the installer to install the various iLife components.

  • Can I install Ilife 8 onto my macbook from my new iMac install discs?

    I am confused!
    I was in an Apple retails store yesterday checking out the new iMacs as I will shortly be buying one, a 24" 2.8Ghz model. As this will come loaded with Leopard and iLife 08 I was also planning on buying the DVD's of both ready to install on my Macbook so that both computers would be running the same versions of the OS and iLife. However, the salesperson I was discussing this with told me that I would be able to install iLife 08 onto my Macbook from the install disc that comes with my new iMac as the software is licenced to the user not the machine, thereby saving me from having to buy it.
    Is this true? And what about Leopard?I always thought that the software discs only worked on one machine, i.e. the one it came with.

    Here's a link to the Apple user agreement for iLife 08.
    http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/ilife08.pdf
    Item 2 states that you may install iLife on ONE Apple Branded Computer. The family pack allows you to install on up to 5 in the same household.
    The discs that come with your new iMac are specific to the iMac and should not be installed onto any other Mac. The retail version of Leopard can be installed on any Mac...but once again one license one machine.

  • I installed iLife 11 on my iMac wth 10.6.8, but it appears nowhere. How do I find out where it is installed?

    When I search on Spotlight for the installed iLife 11, it appears in Applications only as an install disk.

    You should have iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, iPhoto, and GarageBand in your Applications folder. iLife is a software suite and not a single application.

  • Unable to access iPhoto after installing iLife 06

    I installed iLife 06. After doing so, my iPhoto folder cannot be accessed. I get a message saying "There is a problem accessing 1 or more files in iPhoto library folder. In the Finder, select iPhoto library folder. Choose File >Get Info. Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder and then apply this setting to all enclosed items." I have done this, but I still can't get it to open. Any ideas?

    susieslp:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That has happened to a number of users for some unknown reason. Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Good luck.

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!

    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.

  • 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.

  • Installing iLife '08 from Tiger discs on a fresh install of Snow Leopard

    I just had a brand new hard drive installed on my imac. I am currently installing Snow Leopard as I type this post. I purchased the $35 SL disc as I have iLife '08 on my Tiger (10.4) discs. Before I install iLife I would like to know if I have to put disc 1 before disc 2 or just disc 2? Will I be able to just do a software update check and install to bring iLife '08 up to date with the SL? I realize that it won't be iLife '09 but I am concerned about '08 being compatible with a fresh install of SL.

    Did you install the iDVD Extra Content on the iLife 09 disk when you installed iDVD?
    Check in your HD/Library/Application Support folder for an iDVD folder.  In it will be the iDVD themes. 
    Make sure that folder is selected in iDVD's Advance preference pane.
    Also run Disk Utiltiy to repair disk permissions.

  • 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.

    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????
