Leopard Upgrade, missing iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD on eMac

Need help as missing all iLife programs other than iTunes on loading. Initially did install as upgrade, it happened on that install, then decided to write zero's to entire hard drive and do clean install and it did it again.
Is there any known issue about this? I have tried the optional install from the DVD finder window, but none of the iLife items are in there except iTunes.
Just so I don't hear any EULA comments, I did buy the 5 pack software version.
Thanks for the assistance.
Kevin

Just made a call to Apple care and this is the advice:
-Insert the install DVD that came with your Mac
-When the install window opens:
-Select (double click the icon): install bundled software only
If your Mac came with the iLife applications they will be re-installed on your Mac running 10.5.1
Select software update from the Apple Menu after the installation has completed.
(My advise: buy an iLife 08 family pack and you're fine)

  • 2011 iMac, OS X 10.7.5 Lion is missing iPhoto, iMovie, iMessage and Garage Band

    I purchased a little used 2011 iMac last night. OS X 10.7.5 Lion is missing iPhoto, iMovie, iMessage and Garage Band, which according to this Apple page should be included Apps on iMacs: http://www.apple.com/imac/built-in-apps/
    Lion Recovery also appears to be missing, as restarting while holding down the Command-R keys is not working after half a dozen tries.
    How do I restore at least iPhoto, which I need and use daily?
    I thought of buying and installing Mountain Lion, but near as I can tell from the Apple site, iPhoto is NOT included.
    I DO have Snow Leopard discs from my old iMac and could revert so as to get back to work, but if the Lions can be made to purr, I'll stay and try to work out my minor quibbles.
    Thanks for your consideration,
    Blandz

    Thanks for the additional info!
    Yes, those are the very arrows of which I speak. I happen to be using Firefox at present and took a screen shotshot of my basic desktop layout. Although "Dummy" widows are shown, they represent the esential windows I access frequently while doing other tasks.
    At any time, one or more windows may be covered by others, but they are always "in their place" so that by clicking on upper corners they quickly appear. Note in particular the right side windows. Where I would click the corner to expose a partially hidden window, Lion chose to put the diagonal full screen arrows. Unless I'm VERY careful to click to either side of the arrows (and this extra care defeats the whole QUICKNESS factor), the window then opens FULL screen..., annnoying, unproductive and not at all useful to my work processes.
    Hence my goal to send the arrows to their grave. Should I succeed, I'll continue going forward with new versions of OS X, and that would be my preference.
    Be well,

  • Iphoto imovie idvd-how to install

    I needed to reformat the drive and installed OS X Tiger from the INSTALL DVD. iphoto, imovie, idvd are gone. The only other discs I have are OS9, Power Mac G4 software install & restore, Apple hardware test. Where could it be?

    If your computer came with iLife and did not include a separate iLife installer, the iLife installers are included on one of your install or restore discs. It's not always obvious where they're hiding, though.
    This Apple article, Using Restore discs with computers that ship with Mac OS X 10.3.7 or later says (towards the bottom of the page):
    On computers that ship with Mac OS X 10.4 or later use these steps to install bundled third-party applications, iLife and Front Row....
    Back up your essential files. This is a wise precaution even though you won't be erasing the volume.
    Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer.
    Double-click "Install Bundled Software Only."
    Follow the onscreen instructions as follows:
    Select the destination.
    Click Continue.
    Click Upgrade to install all the applications or click Customize to select which packages to install.
    If you click Customize, you'll see a list of applications that you can select to install, or deselect to not install....
    That should help, but if it doesn't, post back.

  • I have lost my email Iphoto Imovie Idvd

    I have lost my email Iphoto Imovie Idvd and everything else on my task bar

    Are you using the app 'Mail'? Assuming nothing's been changed on your computer it may be just a temporary glitch and right itself. If it persists, sometimes deleting the account in Mail and creating it again can fix things.

  • IPhoto LIbrary missing after Snow Leopard upgrade MISSING FROM TimeCapsule!

    _+*VERY ANGRY!!_!+*
    My iPhoto library is missing from users/pictures after upgrade to 10.6
    I figure I am backed up - use time machine/time capsule (ran it just before upgrade to be safe)
    When I look at Time Capsule to restore, there are NO iPhoto libraries there anymore! None, over a year of running time machine!
    I have used time machine and time capsule to restore my mac in the past, it worked, iPhoto was restored fine.
    How can this be?!

    Any word back from Apple (engineers or otherwise) on the missing iPhoto libraries? I updated our MacBook from 10.5 to 10.6 last night and all of our photos from 11/07 on have vanished. This corresponds to the date I purchased the current MacBook and of course, is close to the birth date of my two year old. Obviously, I am also furious that it looks like I've lost all of our photos of our only daugter. I also have a time machine back-up, but the folks at the Apple Store in Oak Brook thus far have been unable to find any indication of any additional photos on my dedicated back-up drive, suggesting that the iPhoto has never been backed up properly (the time machine back up drive has been in use for approx 1.5-years). I am amazed that this type of issue has occurred. Taking the Apple Genius' best guess of the situation, there appear to be at least two serious flaws: the 10.6 upgrade causes of significant loss of data (drive went from approx 7GB free to 52GB free), and (ii) Time Machine has never properly backed up the data in the first instance.
    The Apple Genius just called again and wanted to give up, but as a last gasp, I convinced them to restore the whole 10.5 install off the drive, in hopes that 10.5 might recognize the library where 10.6 cannot. Given my understanding that Time Machine was supposed to back-up the whole drive, I have faint hopes this might work.

  • Rotation Lost by iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD

    I have never had any problems with iPhoto until I recently upgraded to iLife suite and iPhoto 5.
    My specific problem is photographs need to be rotated depending on how the picture was taken (landscape or portrait). I'll go through a roll in the thumbnail mode, rotating to the proper postitions. Then when I try to edit a rotated picture, the edit mode does not recognize the rotation that has already taken place, and shows the picture in its original position.
    What is WORSE, in doing a silde show in iMovie or iDVD, the thumbnails are correct, but when importing the pic into iMovie, the picture is in it original orientation (not rotated!!!)
    Lastly, this only takes place with pictures I have imported with iPhoto 5. Any photos I imported in the old version of iPhoto all work properly with iMovie & iDVD and the thumnails match the orientation in the work.

    Hi Fooch,
    have you upgraded to the latest version of iPhoto through software update.
    If you have the latest version, have you rebuilt the iPhoto Library after you did that?
    Try this:
    Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
    Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
    Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
    Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
    Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
    You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
    This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

  • Clean install OSX 10.5.8 in macbook air, missing iphoto, imovie, garage etc..

    Hello everyone,
    I just recently bought a used macbook air from someone, its a late 2009 macbook. it was originally version 10.5.6 but I wanted a clean macbook (as if i just bought a completely new macbook) so i erased and installed with a CD that apple sent me. But after i installed it it lost all the apps like iphoto, imovie garage band. Does anyone know how i can get those apps (besides buying them) ?
    thank you for any responses in advance.

    When you register the notebook, using your Apple ID, you should be able to download the missing apps from the the Mac App Store, provided they were included with the notebook when purchased new. If they were installed using a DVD, and never updated, you may have to contact Apple for instructions.

  • I want to upgrade to iPhoto/iMovie '11 but the latest release is not compatible with OSX 10.6.8

    Can I buy an older version anywhere? Or am I being coerced into buying Lion? I tried looking through the app store but it seems increasingly likely that I'm going to have to buy an old iLife disc of someone, or upgrade. Unfortunately I'm using a late 2007 Macbook (not even Macbook pro) which handles leopard but not sure if it will handle Lion.
    Currently I'm running...
    OSX 10.6.8
    iPhoto '08 7.1.5
    iMovie '08 7.1.4

    Thanks! I found iLife 11 on amazon, but can I download it? I don't mind paying for it, just don't want to wait. Thanks.

  • Iphoto imovie idvd

    Hello,
    I have a couple of hundred photos with music that i have taken from iphoto to imovie, edited, transitions, etc, synced to music. it is about ten minutes. the audio was in wav files from itunes. It works great. Flawless in imovie or exported to quicktime. when i send it to idvd, it seems to encode and looks great, but the audio is dim, scratchy and out of sync. I have tried going direct from imovie and also starting in idvd.
    I have to get this onto dvd for a presentation and would welcome some advice.
    thanks in advance.

    Try using share>quicktime>full quality in iMovie, and then use that exported iMovie in iDVD.
    However, if your stills are not "ken burns" stills, your photos may degrade using this method.....

  • HELP snow leopard upgrade *MISSING PRINTER PROFILES*

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard and since then I have not been able to use my normal printer profiles in Photoshop CS (don't laugh, I like CS).
    I used to be able to select "Print with Preview" and then under 'Print Space:' then 'Profile' I could select either Epson Photo Paper Glossy or Epson Premium Luster.  After the upgrade there are no Epson Profiles and only generic selections which cause prints to be way off colorwise and intensity.
    Please help.  Snow Leopard has been nothing but a huge headache ever since I upgraded.

    You'll need to install the most recent print drivers. Are you in the US? Go to epson.com and make sure you install all the suggested Epson updates such as the Common Updates.

  • IPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and Garage Band gone.

    After doing an erase/install of Leopard these apps are no longer found. Is there a way to install these from the Leopard install disk or do I have to re-install Tiger then do an upgrade to Leopard? I do not feel like spending another day re-installing software!!!!!!
    Thanks
    MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo | 2GB memory | 120GB | 8x SuperDrive | NVIDIA GeForce 8600M

    Leopard doesn't include iLife. iLife is included with computers; install iLife off the install media that came with your computer.
    You don't need to spend another day re-installing software. However, it would have been nice if you'd spent 5 minutes searching the forum... this question has been asked like 200 times. No joke.

  • Upgrade from leopard to snow leopard (10.6.3). Now I haven't Iphoto, Imovie.

    I bought the disk, on the Apple Store, to upgrade my macbook from leopard to snow leopard (10.6.3).
    Using the 'software update' now I have the version 10.6.8 but I haven't Iphoto, Imovie, etc.(ilife)
    With Leopard I had iphoto, imovie, etc.
    Could you give me any assistance?
    Thanks in advance
    G.

    The "iLife" suite of apps isn't part of Mac OS X.
    A normal upgrade install wouldn't have removed any previously installed apps so you must have erased the hard drive before installing Snow Leopard. That would have removed the iLife apps.
    You can install them again from your previous iLife DVD.

  • Upgrading iPhoto/iMovie 06

    Can I upgrade from iPhoto/iMovie 06 to iPhoto/Imovie 11 without the version between them?

    Yes but purchasing iMovie 11 and iPhoto 9 from the App Store.
    HOWEVER, iMoviea 6 HD is considered to be far superior to the later versions for creating movies with multiple audio tracks and getting them into iDVD.
    If you serach the iDVD forum you'll see iMovie 6 HD recommended over and over again as the better app for movies to iDVD.
    If you do purchase iMovie 11 be sure to keep iMovie 6 HD safe and sound so you can use it if you find V10 not to your liking. Move it into a folder before installing iMovie 11

  • Itunes, Iphoto, Imovie, Disc Utility, Idvd will not work

    Can someone please advise.
    Itunes, Iphoto Imovie, Idvd will not work. All of my related files are there ie, all my music and photos but the actual programmes will not open. I read about using the Disc Utility but that will not open either. When I try to download say Itunes or Iphoto and lick on the download safari opens on google?
    Please does anyone know what is wrong?
    Its a PowerPc G5.
    Cheers Mary

    Our powerbooks can not run iMovie'08. Not enough horsepower.
    That is why we are offered a free download of iMovie '06.

  • Iphoto, imovie, iweb missing after mountain lion upgrade...

    I have a mid 2010 iMac that I have kept up to date and recently upgraded to Mountian Lion.  Everything has been fine except that I noticed that iLife was missing right after the update...  And I didn't purchase it in the app store because it came with my iMac.  In fact, the iMac came with Snow Leopard on it I think. But I haven't the slightest idea where that disk is because we lost a few things that I haven't located yet in our move last year.  I have another copy of Snow Leopard that I goes to my 2009 MacBook that I already had.  It seems quite frustrating that the programs just disappeared and they've never done that before on any other upgrade!  I have no need to purchase and upgrade to iLife 11 as I only use iPhoto and iMovie for iPhone photos/video because I have everything else in LightRoom already.  But I would like iPhoto/iMovie back!  How do I go about doing this?  Can i use my backup to get it back somehow?  Just confused on how to tget it back and my searches yielded very little...  Thanks!

    sorry...  i meant '09 version...  I just knew it wasn't '11 (assumed '09) because I haven't upgraded to the '11 versions.  I said iLife because I lost all 3-iphoto, iweb and imovie.  Well, I see that iweb isn't a part of '11 and is going away and i am just now seeing that.  And noticing that I lost GarageBand in addition (i just don't use it to notice it was also missing after the upgrade). 
    And again, they all came installed on my computer, not from me purchasing it via app store.  Technically I guess it wasn't a part of the OS, I just meant that it came with the imac and was part of my imac purchase.  I only remember having an install disk (not a seperate ilife disk) that came with my imac but i am unable to find any of it because of a move (and haven't located the disks that came with the 2010 iMac).  Again, I have the snow leopard os upgrade disk that I purchased (prior to buying my imac in 2010) that I bought to upgrade my 2009 MacBook Pro.  But again, it isn't the SL install disk that came with the 2010 iMac (which is the computer we are discussing here)  However, my 2009 MacBookPro was upgraded to ML right after I upgraded the iMac on the same exact dayand I DID NOT lose iphoto, iweb, imovie and garageband on that MacBook Pro.  And it was the 09' also because I had not upgraded either computer to '11 version.  So, the programs went missing on the imac upgrade only, and not the macbook-so there has to be a reason why...  I did not mean that iLife came with an OS Upgrade -only that it came with all purchased apple computers. sorry! 
    Sberman-I will try to load the iphoto link that you gave above and see if it restores the iphoto and my catalog, etc. Someone I know suggested that it's all still there - but i am just missing the iphoto programs (and other programs) for some reason and all should be restored once it's reloaded.
