Installing iMovie when I didn't install it before...?

When I installed my Tiger, I opted not to install iMovie, much to my chagrin. I was wondering if by inserting the setup CD I could then obtain iMovie without losing anything from my computer?
Please help!

kato, Welcome to the discussion area!
iMovie is not included with Tiger. See www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs
iMovie is part of iLife.
iMovie is also bundled on the restore disc(s) for many Macs. The information in "KB 42995, Macintosh Restore DVD: How to install iMovie, iPhoto, or iTunes using Mac OS X Software Install" may help you out.

How do I re-install iMovie when it was pre-installed on the iMac and no disks were in the box?

Hi,
I purchased my iMac in August 2011. It came pre-installed with iMovie and other iLife applications. Recently I have had some issues with iMovie (it crashes on start-up) and i came to the conclusion to try a re-install.
However as it was pre-installed and no disks were provided i'm a little confused how, without purchasing it again in the Mac App store. I have looked in the Mac App store in Purchases and iMovie or no other iLife apps appear there. So i know if i purchase it again i will be charged.
Can any one help - or has had this problem in the past?
Note: I am running Moutain Lion now but when it was purchased it had Snow Lepoard installed and as soon as I booted it up i installed Lion as i was given a free copy by Apple when i bought the Mac. If this helps anything.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Ralph,
I live in the UK and i have called apple support but it is all automated and as i don't have apple care they said that i would need to open an incident which would cost £35. iMovie on the Mac App store is only £10.50!
do you know of another way of contacting them for an issue like this? is there anyone i can speak to on an online chat?

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try re downloading the app.
If that didn't help, open Sysem Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Select: Mac App Store and identified developers
If that area is greyed out, click the padlock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password.
Then try downloading the app.

ITunes 11.0 won't install correctly when I try to install it

So, I've had multiple problems with this now, first it wouldn't update and gave me an error message saying "Error writing to file:
C:\ProgramData\188F432-103A-4ffb-80F1-36B633C5C9E1\x86\x86\GEARAspiWDM.sys. Verify that you have access to that directory"
And at one point, I opened iTunes in the new form while that error message was still up and played a bit of music.
I exited the installer and opened iTunes again, this time it said that my Library file was "created in a newer version" so therefore wouldn't open.
So I uninstalled the original version and tried installing again. It didn't work and gave me the same message.
THEN, I went into the ProgramData folder and just deleted that file, then tried reinstalling. This time, the message it gave me was "An error occured while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows"
And that folder I can't delete. So, I'm at an impass with iTunes.
I could just let it sit like that and not be able to sync my iPod or get help and I've chosen to let it sit 'till I get help.
Now, if an image is going to be helpful, I will provide one of the error.
So, I was trying to install the update...: Apple Support Communities
That is the other post I made.

Labview wont install anything when I try to install it.

So I had labview before but i had to get rid of it to make space on my computer and i accidently deleted some files in the NI folder before i unistalled it, it didnt unstall it correctly when i went to unistall the program. I have tried everything to get rid of all the NI files on my computer including using CCleaner to try and clean out my registry. I need to reinstall Lab View but i cant since it will run the installer and then not install anything probabaly thinking its already installed.

You're probably aware of this already, but Windows is quite fond of hiding things from users.
Do you have explorer set to show hidden files and folders?
There is also National Instuments program data stored in C:\ProgramData\National Instruments that is normally hidden.
Also some in C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\National Instruments
And personal settings stored in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\National Instruments
and C:\Users\%username%\Documents\LabVIEW Data
All of these locations are normally hidden when browsing for files to protect the user from themself.

Thank you for installing itunes but itunes didn't install

I recently re installed Windows 7 and attempted to install itunes. I receive the message,"Thank you for installing itunes but itunes failed to install. Can you help?

This happens to me on several Windows PCs. Some running Win7. Some running WinXP.
I found that by using Safari, I could successfully download iTunes. Didn't work on any other browser I tried - only Safari.
Been that way for the past three iTunes updates. Annoying but I can work around it rather easily.
Best of Luck

How do you reinstall iMovie when it came pre-installed with the Mac?

Hi,
I was wondering how you reinstall imovie 11 (i think) when the software came pre-installed on the Mac. I purchased my Mac in August 2011 it is the iMac (Mid 2011 model) I am running Lion. No discs came with the Mac for the option to reinstall.
The reason i wish to reinstall it is because it keeps crashing on startup. I load the application and it opens but then after a few moments of loading up the rainbow wheel appears and never goes away, the app then is none responsive and I have to force quite the app.
Any help would be appriciated
Cheers

How to install LiveCycle Designer when you didn't install it initially

I am a registered owner of Adobe Acrobat Pro v.8 (on Windows XP). I've been reading about LiveCycle Designer and it's said to be part of Acrobat Pro, but I don't have it. I must not have chosen to install it in the beginning. But I downloaded v.8 as an upgrade, so I don't have a CD. Can I rerun the installation file safely now (I saved the file when I downloaded it) to install LiveCycle, or will that interfere with my Acrobat, for which I've downloaded various upgrades since then (I have 8.1.3)? Actually I have two files in my saved downloads folder and I'm not sure which one to use. I have AcroPro80_efg.exe and APRO8_Win_WEB_WWEFG.exe. The 2nd file has a later date, about a month later. So that's my second question; assuming that I can rerun the install file, which file do I use?
Thanks.
Margaret

Margaret,
You can install the LiveCycle Designer by going to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and select Change/Remove option when you hilight the version of Adobe that's currently installed (mine says Adobe Acrobat 8.1.4 Professional). You should be able to "Modify" and install the LiveCycle Designer. Once it's installed, it should be on your Programs List.
Hope this helps.

My ipad2 won't let me install apps , when I trie to install an app it says waiting but there is no loading circle on the top of my screen , please help ! ?

I tried to install the new update for minecraft pocket edition then all of a sudden it won't load ! It said "waiting" for almost an hour ! Nothing will load :( , then I tried to delete the app and re- install it , still the same problem :( . I turned my iPad off and on then restarted it still no hope ! . I thought it was just the app so I tried installing another 1 but it had the same problem . I was going to reboot it but that would mean loosing my stuff so I tried to back it up using iCloud but when I tapped "back up now " it won't load either !! Please help , I'll appreciate it loads thanks you !!

Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
You can these suggestions. One might work for you.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

Installing cooltools when Sun studio is installed in a non default dir

Hello all,
I have installed sun studio 12 on one node of a SPARC cluster. When installing, I did not use the default directory (/opt/SUNWspro), but I used a different one as this installation is for trial purposes only.
Now, I want to install discover, ats and all other tools that are included in the tar file. I followed the instruction on suns web page : http://cooltools.sunsource.net/cmtdt/install.html, but all the information there is based on the fact that sun studio is installed in the default directory.
Does anyone know, what should I do in order to install the tools in the proper directory? Should I specify a path in the "pkgadd" command? Please help as I am stuck at the moment.
Thanks a lot.
Yiannis

I think I found the answer myself. It is written in sun's web page:
If the Sun Studio 12 tools are installed with a different base directory, say /opt/Studio12/SUNWspro/bin, then use the option -a none in the pkgadd command. When you are prompted for the <base_dir>, enter /opt/Studio12. The tools in the SPROprfns and SPROcool packages will be installed in /opt/Studio12/SUNWspro/extra/bin.
I think this solves the problem, but in any case, please feel free to comment on this one.

Cluster validation stating an update needs to be installed, but when checked, it's installed...Answers???

I'm setting up a simple, two node, cluster in Server 2012R2. When doing the Validation test it states that the updates on one of my nodes is not up to date. However, upon further investigation, I've found that most, if not all, updates the
test is telling me needs to be installed are installed. I have two other clusters that are set up the same way, the validation test came up good across the board and they have linked up nicely, but this one will not perform correctly. The only
difference between the three is the updates showing out of sync on the one cluster. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
So the Clusters are fully patched and also running UR1 and did a reboot ?
and the updates are installed as shown in the update manger list.
what you could do is stop the Update service and delete the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.
When starting the services it will recreate the folder ;-) then reboot the cluster and start validation.
