Lost (Tiger) Applications After Clean Install of Leopard - Help Please

I just bought my MacBook - 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB memory, 120GB hard drive, Double-layer SuperDrive about 4 weeks ago. It came loaded with Tiger and included iDVD, iPhoto, Garage Band, etc. (iLife apps.). I ordered and received the Leopard up-to-date DVD (for $9.95) and did a clean install. Now I don't have any of the aforementioned apps! I noticed Leopard does not include these apps. Here are the specs on what it does include. http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/. A few questions:
Did Tiger include these apps?
Would I have kept these apps if I had done a simple upgrade instead of a clean install?
Is there an app in Leopard to burn DVDs? (I couldn't find anything)
Thanks!!

They are on your Instal disks under bundled software. This, How to restore your Apple software, will help you get them back.

  • Glitchy Display after Clean install of Leopard (G5 dual 2 GHz, Radeon 9600)

    Hello,
    I'm having weird glitchy display issues after a clean install of Leopard on my work machine. There was years of crap on this machine, several user accounts and it was extremely slow. I was advised by my tech guy to wipe the HD and do a clean install of OSX Leopard and all my Apps (Adobe CS3 & Extensis Suitcase X1).
    I immediately noticed glitchy display issues. First, when i scroll over anything with my mighty mouse it leaves a trail of glitchy weirdness where my cursor was:

    Second, in certain applications if i move a window my clicking and dragging the top bar or a window it starts "disintegrating" and getting all pixelated. If i shake the window while doing this it gets worse:
    http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/dylandog/screenglitch1.png
    I ran software update thinking that would help...Still doing it.
    I also installed 4 GB of memory (the max for this machine) to try increase speed. It did increase speed, but I'm still experiencing the display issues.
    I'm going to run the CS3 updates now...I doubt that will fix it, but you never know.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how, or what to do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance!!
    BTW, The specs on my machine are as follows:
    Power Mac G5
    Dual 2GHz circa 2005
    4GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9600
    30" Cinema Display
    19" Planar PL1910M LCD
    OSX 10.5.1

    Many people have reported that there ATI 9600's don't work well in leopard. Most were able to fix the problem by installing old ATI drivers, including me. I still get glitches but only when going from a full screen w/thousand color back to a million colors, but the glitches only affect the docks stacks.
    The guide can be found here: http://interandom.com/2007/10/31/leopard-ati-radeon-9600/
    Let us know how it goes. Good Luck.

  • Can't long in to iWeb after clean install of Leopard and upgrade to Snow

    I just recently did a clean install of Leopard and then upgraded to Snow Leopard. Everything is working ok except for iWeb. At first, I thought I had just forgotten my password but then I reset it. I logged on here with it and on iTunes. I can't edit my page at all. How do I get into iWeb now? The template I created through iWeb of course is not on my computer- it's just on my iWeb site. Can I call to get someone th help me or do I need to start all over. How do I do that because I have a subscription?
    Thanks

    Daniel ~ Welcome to the discussions. If you didn't backup iWeb's key Domain file before the clean install, you'll probably need to start over. I say "probably" because even though you didn't deliberately back up the Domain file, perhaps you were running Time Machine — in which case, there's still hope:
    Recovering items using Time Machine and Spotlight
    Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
    You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • After clean install snow leopard, cant install bundled application(ilife)?

    Hi im new in the world of mac.
    This is the first time i reinstalled(clean install) my snow leopard on my MBP. All went fine but then i inserted the disc for bundled application (which contains the ilife apps) but it keeps failing.
    It says that "the installation failed. the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. contact the software manufacturer for assistance".
    I've also done my research on this matter. I've gone thru a few steps i tried as below without success:
    1)normal install - fail
    2)repair permission - fail
    3)install in safe mode - fail
    4) install using another admin acc - fail
    5) made an image out of the disc and install - fail
    6) used a similar disc(my dad's since we have identical version) - fai
    7)updated my system and install - fail
    8) reinstall the mac - fail
    i cant think of any other solution as im a bit noob when it comes to mac. is there any other things i could try before taking it Apple?

    same "installation failed" message
    i had to manually paste this address into safari search bar: "http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1512".  i found this link on MacRumors after a a search on google.  i could not find it on any search of apple site.  (searched for "AppleSoftwareInstallerUpdate.dmg" on apple site and could not find ANY results for it either)  i'm new at mac os, so the chaos of [apple support] vs [apple store] vs ["app store"] vs [itunes] download pathways all seem needlessly confusing.  using the link above - the download popped up, downloaded, had to restart my second hand 2010 mac mini that i was clean installing original discs - then i was finally able to install "applications install disc" (the 2nd original dvd that came with the mac maini).
    was also very confounded that NOWHERE could i actually confirm exactly what applications are on this 2nd disc until i successfully installed it - at least iphoto + imovie + garage band all showed up on the dock.  not sure if anything else new is on there - i wasnt watching closely enough.  i guess this is "iLife '??".  it sure isn't labelled as such ANYWHERE, not on disc, not in manual supplied, not explained anywhere on apple site that i could find.  but at least  i'm learning to navigate around MacOS a little bit better

  • Problems installing OFFICE 2004 after clean install of Leopard

    I have installed Leopard on my G5 POWERPC in the partition I have reserved for the system ( I have another partition for my user files and I am administrator of the system )
    The install stops at one of the early stages where it asks for user info ( line name, last name etc.)
    I have tried to clean up all the files in my user area (mainly in Library/Preferences ) which seemed to refer to MS applications, but to no avail: anyone having the same problem ? Anyone with a fix ?
    Thanks
    Ps: please refrain from suggesting that I should go away from MS office applications: most of my colleagues are MS Windows based and I need to exchange daily files with them...

  • After clean install of Leopard, unix file folders are visible in finder

    I did a DoD wipe of my hdd in my Mac Mini.
    I installed Leopard, no frills, and got it registered to me like when I bought it.
    I wanted to check if all is will BUT in the root folder in Finder (Macintosh HD) it shows folders like BIN, VAR and so on.
    I thought maybe I had hidden files shown on the finder so I checked, its not supposed to show hiden files. So I toggled it on, applied and then turned it off and applied again. They are not gone!
    So I tried the terminal way with these commands
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALE
    killall Finder
    I also did a Disk Utility repair permissions.
    These did not fix the issue. I am looking on Google and this seems to be fairly common but I haven't found a fix yet. Any ideas? I don't MIND they are there, but I have my wife who is not savy with the Mac yet so I am fearful she might remove the folders on accident especially with organizing her files, I have seen it happen on a Windows Machine.

    Try these:
    *cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/*
    *open System/Installation/Packages/*
    OPTION-click on the OSInstall.mpkg and select show package contents. Then, drill down to Resources and copy the "SetHidden" file to your home folder and the "hidden_MacOS9" file to the root level of your boot volume. Launch the Terminal app and run the command:
    *sudo SetHidden / hidden_MacOS9*
    and restart.

  • Losing applications after a reboot? Some help please

    I was playing with my Ipad and something wrong happened and the Ipad started working slowly i don't know why and i shut down the Ipad cause i thought that will fix the problem and i guess it maked it worse cause i lost all my applications, but that's not the problem i can reinstall the applications but i'll lose my save and everything and the other problem is that when you go in Settings>General>Usage it shows you that how much space you used in your Ipad and it shows which applications took the most space and it says how much MB/GB took from Ipad space, ok the problem is that i used 10GB and i have only 10 apps that they are under 100 MB each application and when i'm in Settings>General>Usage i can see some applications but they have no names and it don't say how much space that application take it says "No Data" i hope you can elp me with this problem cause i don't know what to do and this is my first time happening this with me.
    Thanks for help.

    You might just be getting an incorrect reading on your iPad and for your sake I hope that you are. See what happens after you do this. It will not cause any loss of data.
    Quit ALL apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Re-Installing Snow leopard - help please

    I bought my MacBook Pro with leopard and later upgraded to SnowLeopard. So I have a Leopard disk and a Snow Leopard disk. I want to completely re-install the system to start fresh, with a time machine backup, so I figured the best way was to erase the drive with disk utility on the startup disk and re-install OSX(unless anyone has a better idea)
    But the question I have is, do I have to install Leopard again and then upgrade to snow leopard, or can I start straight from the leopard upgrade disk?
    Thank you so much for any help!

    just what do you mean by "system to start fresh, with a time machine backup"?

    you haven't explained why you want to do this. a better idea might be not to reinstall at all.
    But the question I have is, do I have to install Leopard again and then upgrade to snow leopard, or can I start straight from the leopard upgrade disk?
    you don't have to install leopard first. but it's far from clear that you need to reinstall at all.

  • After Clean Install some Mac applications don't work.

    I just had to do a clean install of Leopard 10.5.8 with Tiger 10.4. I now have some problems with the Mac software:
    1) I couldn't do a Backup Restore for my Mail local folders. I finally moved them from my Previous System Folder. They show up in the Mail Viewer Window, but the contents are empty.
    2) I couldn't do a Backup Restore for my Address Book Folder. I finally moved it from my Previous System Folder and replaced the Address Book Folder in Applications. However, it won't open up.
    3) System Prefs from the drop-down Finder menu under the Apple symbol won't open up. I can open it from Applications.
    4) Safari won't open up from the Dock's @ icon.
    If anyone could give me advice to correct these I would be appreciative. Thank you.

    Hi,
    In some cases "newer" version of an App will not run on Older OS software.
    For instance Leopard's iChat 4 will not run in Tiger.
    You say a clean install and do not say if you moved your Home Folder Contents back.
    Your Mail would have been in there as would the Address Book info.
    However related to the first item, you may have issues getting the older Tiger apps to read documents/Databases created by the newer Apps in Leopard.

  • How do I import my address book after doing a clean install of Leopard?

    I just finished doing a clean install of Leopard and I realized that I forgot to export an Address book archive before erasing my hard drive. I still have all the Address Book files stored in Application Support in my Library (on my backup hard drive) but I don't know how to get those files into Address Book. Whenever I try the different import options they are all grayed out.
    I also have the Address Book files stored on my iPod Touch but syncing with my Touch doesn't seem to bring them into my computer. Is there anything I can do at this point besides entering them in one at a time?! Copying and pasting the files from the backup to the current folder doesn't seem to do any good either. It will tell me that the files I am trying to write over and in use. It says this even after I close Address Book.

    Ok, I got is to work by selecting the folder itself and copying it over. Aparently it does work if you open the folder, select all the contents and then paste it. I didn't think it would matter which way you did it.

  • After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files.  When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error.  What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • "Clean Install" Snow Leopard on Tiger using 30 eur DVD. Legal or not?

    Hi!
    I have two questions:
    1). Is it possible to use the "cheap" 30 euro DVD to "clean install" Snow Leopard on 5yrs old MacBook running Tiger?
    By "clean install" I mean to erase the hard drive and then install the new operating system (Snow Leopard).
    I have read that is possible technically but is it legal?
    2). Is "Clean Install" and "Upgrading" similar or different from a legal point of view?
    A clean install is when you erase your hard drive and then install the operating system. An upgrade is when you just overwrite the operating system and keep other files in place.
    Thanks,
    D.M.

    1. Yes.
    2. They are different.  The former requires first erasing the drive while the latter upgrades an existing system.

  • Clean install from Leopard to M. Lion on new disk

    I have a late 2007 MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 and a too small disk. I just purchased a 500GB internal disk. I'd like to do a clean install from Leopard to Mountain Lion using the new disk. What is the recommended procedure? I'd like to avoid the extra step of installing Snow Leopard first as documented.

    Well, I wouldn't do it that way, too many steps.
    I would:
    1. Clone your current drive to the external drive, instead of using Time Machine. (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper)
    2. Boot from your external drive, update it to Snow Leopard.
    3. Purchase and download ML from that external boot. Save a copy of the installer to a location other than the Applications folder, that way it won't be erased after you use it. (verify that you've made a copy and not just an alias)
    4. Install your new drive, format it.
    5. Boot from your external, run the ML installer, select your new empty internal as the install destination, when prompted, use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the external to the internal.
    6. When done, you should have a fresh install of ML on your new internal and a bootable SL on your external as a backup. If you decide that you want to go back to SL, you can just erase the internal and clone the external back to the internal.
    Note: You don't need to make a bootable USB installer, they're too slow anyway. Just keep a copy of the ML installer on your external, bootable drive, so that you won't have to download it again.
    Another option: Since you're replacing the intrenal with a 500 Gig drive, you could partition it to two 250 Gig partitions. Put ML on one and SL on the other, i.e.,

  • Extra Unix folders in root after clean install

    I backed up my data and performed a clean install of Leopard on my iMac Core Duo 20". All went well, but I have all these extra unix type folders in the root of my HD. Sbin, Var, Volumes, shortcuts to etc, tmp, var. What are they, why are they there & how can I get rid of them. I performed an upgrade on my older G5 iMac 20" and only the original System, Library, Users & Applications folders resulted.

    This files are absolutely critical to the system. Get rid of them and you will render your system inoperable.
    So they're there, and you don't want to get rid of them. If you're seeing them from the Finder then you'll want to figure out how to make the Finder hide them. Here's an article which talks about this with Tiger:
    http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/07/showallfinder/index.php
    You would use FALSE instead of TRUE.
    But I tried it and it didn't work for me. Still... that's the direction you'll want to look.

  • Issues after Clean Install

    I erased my HD and did a clean install of Leopard to speed up my system.
    After the install I did a software update and while restarting a window popped up that said something about Boot Cache. It seemed like it was taking a long time, so I left it overnight.
    The computer was up this morning, so I started to install applications. I then did another software update..
    I just installed iLife 08 and hit restart. Now the computer seems to be hanging at the part where the little circular dots are supposed to show up at the bottom middle of the screen.
    The reason I did a clean install is because one of the issues I was having is that the computer took FOREVER to restart. A clean install doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.......? That doesn't seem right.
    I am on a G5 Quad. There is nothing on my system except 10.5, Final Cut Studio 2, and iLife....

    A clean install would mean that you did not import any previous files or settings but after a full erase you installed Leopard with all new settings and programs manually.
    If you imported any old files or settings, you dirtied your install, possibly with whatever caused your original problem.
    It is always better to solve or fix an issue rather than to start over again, because sometimes the problem is obvious.
    If after a true clean install a problem recurs, then your hardware is at fault - RAM, HD, some driver, board or something like that. Again, it's always better to diagnose a problem and find out what is/was causing it.
