ITunes corrupted after installing iLife 08

I can no longer launch iTunes following install of iLife 08. Error message says "copy of iTunes corrupt or not installed properly" "Re-install iTunes".
Is teh solution as simple as downloading iTunes 8 from the Apple site? How might this affect my existing iTunes library and authorization?

Same here. I recently had a memory module go bad and a bunch of stuff got corrupted, so I had to wipe the disk, install new memory, and reinstall everything starting with OS X. Since all of my old iLife apps were gone (They were not on the disks I got with the Mini), I had to get iLife '08.
Before I installed iLife '08 I recovered my iTunes library from my 30 GB video iPod using TinkerTool, and it all worked fine. After installing iLife '08, I got the "iTunes is corrupted or not installed correctly" error message (Oh NOES!!!11!!).
All you have to do to fix this is, 1) Download iTunes 8.0.1 from Apple, and, 2) click on UPGRADE. Your iTunes library will still be there (Mine was, anyway).
Cheers,
George

  • After install iLife '11, iWeb does not show the picture

    After install iLife '11 , I need to edit some pages of an existing website (stored on my HD)
    When I open the page I would edit (it's a page that contains some photo gallery) I see that the picture gallery is empty and if I try to publish the page when I browse it I see the page appear but there's no picture gallery on it.
    there's any solution ?

    Try the following:
    1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
    Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
    2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

    How do I fix this !!! Please

    ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • 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.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • Computer won't start up after installing iLife '09

    My MacBook Pro is now stuck in a bricked mode after installing iLife '09.
    Install:
    1. The install went perfectly unlike some of the posts I have read.
    2. The installer asked me to register and I chose "later".
    3. The installer asked to restart to complete the process and I accepted.
    4. Then it restarted my machine and the progress spinner just sits there for five minutes...then the computer just shuts off cold.
    Fix Attempts:
    1. Tried restarting manually many times, but it keeps shutting itself off after five minutes of spinning.
    2. Tried zapping my P-Ram by restarting and holding down commandoption+pr a few times, but that didn't help.
    3. Restarted while holding down option to boot Windows XP. Windows booted successfully and then I restarted back in Mac mode, but that didn't help.
    4. I ejected the iLife '09 disc and unplugged the power chord and USB iPhone charger, just in case that has anything to do with the ghost in the machine, but that didn't help either.
    I'm left trying to decide what to do. Going to the Genius bar does not appeal to me for various reasons.
    Any one else out there experience this problem and get things running again??

    Since I don't have the original install discs that came with my computer, I tried these things:
    1. Tried booting in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key at start up, but does not help.
    2. Booted in Single-User Mode by holding down command+s at start up. Then I get the fsck diagnostic by typing in "/sbin/fsck -fy".
    Did that three times and get the same response:
    /dev/rdisk0s2
    Root file system
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow.
    Checking Catalog file.
    disk0s2: I/O error.
    Invalid key length
    (4, 25236)
    Volume check failed.
    /dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
    :/ root#
    Then I ran the command "df -hl" to see what the drive space looks like. Looks good enough:
    Filesystem root_device
    Size 80Gi
    Used 68Gi
    Avail 12Gi
    Capacity 86%
    Mounted on /
    Any ideas if this helps??

  • After installing iLife Support 9.0.4 - network login becomes locked

    I'm experiencing a strange issue after installing iLife Support 9.0.4
    I am on a corporate network using Active Directory. I use Connect to Server every day to access all my files for work.
    Here is my scenario:
    1. Startup OR Restart my MacBook
    2. Login to my user account
    3. Finder -> Connect to Server (i.e. smb://server/location/etc/)
    4. My network credentials are saved in my keychain, so it tries to connect
    5. My network account becomes locked.
    After #5 I have to call our Help Desk to unlock my network account.
    Once my account is unlocked, everything works fine - I can use Connect to Server, Entourage email, etc.
    Unfortunately I am unable to use Time Machine due to our company policies
    Any insight would be appreciated.

    I just dragged all of the 1 January 2001 Prefs out of my folder and restarted and it looks like its working, including the keychain. I'll keep monitoring this...

  • ITunes appears "disabled" after installing iLife

    I've tried to find an answer to my problem by reading the other discussion questions, but I haven't seen anything quite like it....
    Background: I had trouble installing iLife 04. (Yes, I know it's an old version, but I had put it off because everytime I try to install something new it gets screwed up!) It kept telling me that something was "in use" and couldn't be installed. I was advised to open activity monitor / highlight "iTunes Helper" under "Process name" and click "Quit process". Well, it worked, but my iTunes icon in the dock ended up with a question mark on it, and I couldn't open it. In playing around with the icon it "poofed" out of sight. I can find "iTunes" and my libraries in "Users" on the hard drive, but I can't open iTunes. Some of the items in the libraries appear with music icons in front of them (the iTune icon) and some have a document icon in front of them. Trying to open things gives me an "unexpected error code 10660". I realized after I installed iLife 04 that I was probably installing a LOWER version of iTunes (I already had upgraded to 6. something) so I ran my software updates and there were updates for iDVD, iMovie, and iPhoto (as I expected there would be) but none for iTunes. I went online and downloaded the latest iTunes thinking that that might solve the problem, but when I tried to install that, it kept telling me that I couldn't because I already had a higher version installed. It kept showing iTunes as "disabled". I'm afraid to try anything else for fear that I may screw it up even more!

    Remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' file from Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts.
    This file tells the Installer that iTunes 6 already is installed.
    Removing it should fix the installation problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • Podcasts subscriptions corrupted after installing iTunes 5

    I have my podcasts set to update manually and after installing iTunes 5 I noticed that when I try to update them iTunes showed there are no new episodes when clearly (and iTunes podcast directory confirmed it) there were.
    Then I noticed "subscribe" button in the podcast directory's page for my podcasts was active and after i re-subscribed to all of my podcats (for example TWIT) iTunes added an identical TWIT podcast entry to my podcasts list and started re-downloading ALL of the podcasts i already had along with the new episodes.
    So now i have a choice of either having to re-download all of my podcasts in order to get new ones OR be without new episodes untill this is fixed. And re-downloading all of my podcats is not an option cause of my connection. Also i don't wanna have duplicate entries for my podcasts in order to have the new episodes.
    I really hope iTunes 5.1 comes out soon and fixes these bugs. In my opinion, this is the buggiest release of iTunes for Windows Apple ever made.

    ME TOO. Now I want to know how I can DOWNgrade iTunes.
    Also, when I have left iTunes open for a while, I come back to it, and the window is all indecipherable garbage.
    And don't waste your time. I have done it all, and nothing has helped. I either download podcast by painful podcast or I don't get anything at all.

  • 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?
