Installing ilife 09 on a dual 1.8Ghz

If I update to 10.5.6 can I then install ilife 09 or should I get ilife 06?
The system requirements seem to be dual 2 Ghz for ilife 08 or 09.

I'm running iLife '09 on a dual 1.8 G5 with 2 GB ram and iMovie seems to work just fine.

Dual 1.8GHz 2GB RAM not gonna run iMovie '08?

Hello all,
I have heard that despite what the requirements for iMovie '08 are, it will run on a dual 1.8GHz Power Mac G5 (I swear I read that a fellow PMG5 1.8GHz user was doing it...with if memory serves, 3GB of RAM.) But do I really need 3GB of RAM? I wanna max this bad boy out but I dont have the money to do so at the moment. However its beyond me as to why it installed without a single problem. It even says it requires a dual 2.0GHz. But I just popped the iLife '08 DVD in the Mac and it installed everything on the DVD no questions asked. What I find a bit weird is I went to a friends house (he has a PMG5 Single 1.6GHz 4GB RAM) it wouldnt install. Ok so maybe his specs were too low. =( but this thing is super fast. (Im running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard hes still running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger (I sold him my 10.4.6 DVD when I bought my 10.5.6 DVD) And we have blazing fast machines. Esp his! I wonder why his is faster...is Tiger really THAT MUCH older?

Hi-
RAM isn't as much of an issue as processor speed.
iLife 08 will install on most any machine, even G4's, but the ability to use iMovie successfully requires more CPU, thus the 2.0GHz stated in the system requirements.
Anyhow, it wouldn't be the first time a machine with lower than recommended CPU speed installed iMovie 08:

Only 512MB of RAM is necessary, but Apple recommends 1GB.
However, RAM becomes necessary when manipulating large files.
2GB is really as low as one should go..... and more is better with graphics and video related work.
The 3GB issue is not RAM, but hard drive space.
The software suite simply requires that much space on the hard drive.
Tiger is faster than Leopard on most all PPC machines.
Leopard has its sweet spots, but uses more RAM, CPU and graphics card than Tiger.
This may explain why a slower machine "feels" faster.

I have OS X v10.6.8, with 1 GB 533 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM, 2GHz processor speed with 1 processor, 2 cores, 667MHz Bus speed, 2 MB L2 Cache. 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.

G5 Dual 1.8Ghz -randomly very NOISY & FAST fan!

Hi I couldn't find a post for this elsewhere!
1 or 2 times a week my G5 dual 1.8Ghz fan will begin to speed up and become incredibly fast and noisy, when this happens it doesn't slow back down, it keeps going!
Once this begins I am often unable to shutdown or restart the computer and I have to resort to pressing the power button.
On restarting the fan is normal again, but it always happens again at some point.
This happens while the computer is 'awake', but might have happened from sleep once or twice (I can't remember).
Many thanks for your help,
Colin
G5 dual 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 2gb RAM

Hello Colin and welcome to the Apple forums.
1 or 2 times a week my G5 dual 1.8Ghz fan will begin to speed up and become incredibly fast and noisy, when this happens it doesn't slow back down, it keeps going!
Once this begins I am often unable to shutdown or restart the computer and I have to resort to pressing the power button.
This is what we call a "Kernal Panic" and basically the OS stops responding, also to hardware which slows down the fans from the default "turbo" mode your experiencing.
What could be causing this requires a careful process of elimination.
Disconnecting all other external hardware except a wired mouse, keyboard and one monitor is the first step.
Next is to backup all data, c boot from the G5 Tiger (not upgrade over Panther disk!) and Disk Utility Erase w/Zero option your boot drive. Reinstall Tiger fresh and immediatly Software update until clear. Install only vital apps from original sources and cd's (avoid those that alter your sytem/ use a admin password to install), files and data from backup. Update your drives driver software from the makers sites for Tiger.
If these two methods don't resolve the problem, then you should try installing a new boot drive (Zero it first) and repeating the step above to eliminate a bad boot drive.
Once these three steps are done and you still have problems, it could be a RAM or defective video card or other major hardware problem.

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

Video cards for Dual 1.8Ghz G5

I'm wanting to upgrade my 64mb video card in my Dual 1.8Ghz G5.
What should I be looking for? Is the slot PCI or PCI-X?
Is there a difference between a "PC" card and a "Mac" card, or could I buy a card from, say, Newegg.com and install it in my G5?
Thanks very much for the help!

Powermac G5 Dual 1.8Ghz RAM question

I purchased one stick of 1Gb RAM and installed it on the motherboard, but I didnt know it had to be installed in pairs so the computer wont recognize it. I made an order for a second stick and it should arrive in a couple of days. Can I use my computer with the one stick still in there, or do I need to remove it and install both at the same time?

dfernandez86-
I am confused so this is probably a dumb question, but how can using 1 stick be configured as a pair?
I would take the new stick out and use it as originally configured. When you get the second stick have at it.

G5 dual 1.8ghz

Hello,
need to know if i install a processor from a G5 dual 2.0ghz or above into my dual 1.8ghz if it will work correctly. Not to compter savvy trying to get more processing power for my Pro Tools Le rig.
Also, any one who knows Pro Tools is there a huge difference in the G5 dual 2.0 and above for running more plug ins, virtual instruments etc vs the dual 1.8ghz?

No it wont work at all . You have two different motherboards one for the 2.0 and one for 1.8 . I own a 1.8 dual like you . you need to replace the motherboard to get that to work . It just wont work out . You can count on apple making sure of that .

Installing iLife 08 (ontop with) iLife 06

Hello
Need a refresher, have done this before. Installing iLife 08, when iLife 06 is already installed. I do know of one work-around regarding iDVD:
http://dancameron.org/general/idvd-08-wont-start/ < For problems when iDVD 08 won't open.
iPhoto < Have no prior albums
Garage Band < Have no older projects
*I do know that once iDVD 08 is functional, older 06 iDVD projects will no longer open with iDVD 08.
Anything else I need to know?
Thank you
Mike

Hello Appleman
Thanx for the reply. Actually I've decided to take a closer look at the options/custom installs regarding the Apple OS 10.4 (2 Disc Set), for a Dual Core G5. I believe it would be beneficial to do a custom install upon opening the FIRST disc. Here, I can avoid all unwanted, unecessary software. *There be unwanted ancient versions of iLife here, (older than 06).
Of course the essential applications are 'greyed out', they are already 'checked' and cannot be altered or unchecked. So now I sould be good to go.
From here, next I'll install the combo update bringing the OS to 10.4.11
Then do a custom install of iDVD 06 ONLY, then a complete install of iDVD 08. (*Avoiding the dredded iDVD crash). I'm hoping I can get iMovie 08 to install this way.
"Also, if you install from a retail disk, you may have the 7.0 version. You will need to run Software Update to upgrade to 7.1.4 (I think)."

Installing iLife 08 - Garage Band 08

Hello
I have a G4 867 Dual Processor. I have Leopard installed, and I installed iLife 06, (with Garage Band).
If I install Garage Band 08, is it necessary to first delete the older iLife 06, containing the older version of Garage Band?
Thanx

is it necessary to first delete the older iLife 06
no

Inability to install iLife software program

[I have searched this web site from top to bottom...where do we go to communicate with support?]
I use an eMac 1 GHz Pwr PC G4 w/512 MB SDRAM and an 80 GB hard drive installed. Somewhat over 60 GB of hard disk is available. I do have a super drive DVD installed. I do have Quick Time 7.2 on my system.
I have Symantec AntiVirus software that blesses the iLive software disc. I DISABLE the NAV and run a "cold boot" of the system so that nothing should interfere with installation.
I attempt to run the "Install iLife" program, a dialog box comes up & tells me that iMovie will not work on my system and won't be installed. I click OK and all is well...until I reach somewhere in the region of 80% installed on the iPhoto program. At that point, everything quits and, after the appropriate time, a dialog box comes up and says: "There were errors installing the software! Please try installing again." (and again, and again, etc.)
As near as I can tell, the installation should go without a hitch.

tamori:
Your first mistake is having Symantic on your Mac. Symantic gave up supporting Mac OS back around 9,maybe 10.1. It's considered to be one a dangerous item to have on current Macs. Do a search in the Tiger forum for Symantic and you'll see what I mean.
Have you checked out the system requirements for iLife 06?
System Requirements
• Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor; iMovie requires a Mac with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster; iDVD requires a 733MHz or faster processor.
• 512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended
• Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
• 3GB of available disk space
• DVD drive for installation
• QuickTime 7.2 or later
You might try using Pacifist to locate and install individual application packages on the iLife 08 disk.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Apple Mac Pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core

Hey guys,
Ive got a real brain teaser. I have a apple mac pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core that wont boot.
The leds on the memory test good its all tested in another mac and working well.
The 9 leds are reading as follows 2nd led lit yellow. Led 9,8,7 Green- which from my research is good.
Ive also reset the cmos battery and vram, nothing.
Pulled the memory and video card and re-seated them also nothing.
The last thing i tryed was shut the computer down sit for 30 seconds then held alt and got the install mac os screen not a hard drive option.
Which leads me to think its not seeing the hard drive?
Any suggestions?

Starts up with fans
Makes the apple chime
The chime is generated in software when the first portion of the power-on self test has passed.Your Mac is working and has enough working RAM memory to start up.
You still may have problems with drives, the software on those drives, or your graphics card.
apple logo comes up
The dark gray Apple is loaded by the ROM boot loader in the first blob of software (before the file system is initialized). Its presence indicates your Mac can get some stuff off a Hard Drive, and seeing it indicates your graphic card can display something in a primitive way.
with spinning gear and just sits there for hours
It is stuck booting up something. Verbose Mode (hold Command-V at startup) will show you the parade of messages. The last five will tell you what happened.

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 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!
