Message:  PLEASE INSTALL iLIFE 08 BEFORE INSTALLING iMOVIE HD 6  ...  huh?

My two year old Macbook's hard drive completely croaked two months ago and I got a brand new one installed under my warranty. Now I have OS X 10.4.11. It came loaded with iPhoto 08, iMovie 08, iDVD 08, GarageBand, and iWeb 08... so I assume that means I have iLife 08.
Well on iMovie 08 I can't work on any of my movie projects I had backed up. I tried to install iMovie 6 that I downloaded but can't install it: the message says to install iLife 08 first. Any ideas? When I got my Macbook out of the Apple shop with it's shiny new hard drive I got no disks whatsoever.
And, may I just say a heartfelt THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Apple for pushing us a giant step backwards with your iMovie 08 dud. Thanks, Apple!

it solidly refuses to recognize my iLife 08 suite.
You mean with regard to installing iLife HD 06?
Which I assume you are downloading here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovieHD6
Do you still have the disks that came with the computer originally? It might be worth trying to reinstall iMovie HD 6 that way because it's not going to care if iMovie '08 is present or not.

  • Error Message: "Please install Apple Application Support" after QT7 Install

    Greetings:
    I attempted to update my Quicktime 6 application to QT7, but the install stopped partway through. I uninstalled Quicktime completely, and started over with a download and clean install of Quicktime 7.6.7. When I try to run my newly installed QT7.6.7, I get an ErrorMessage box with "Quicktime Player" in the header, and "Please install Apple Application Support." in the box.
    What do I do now?
    Thanks, Airpilot

    For some reason (Firewall / Internet security programs?) the Apple iTunes installation program doesn't install all the necessary components.
    There is a way to manually unpack the installation program to it's 6 different components and install each component one by one.
    (Advantage: you don't need to uninstall or deactivate your security programs)
    Best thing to do is:
    1) Download the iTunes installation program (directly from the Apple website
    http://www.apple.com )to your desktop,
    WITHOUT INSTALLING the iTunes application.
    2) Download he WinRAR decompression/unpack utility (for example from:
    http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html?tag=recommended Downloads )
    and install it on your desktop for easy use.
    3) Unpack the iTunes installation program, using WinRAR by rightclicking the
    iTunes installation program and choose 'Open with WinRAR'.
    Don't bother with the message from WinRAR about files beïng corrupt
    (these are probably the unreadable 'Apple Mac' files).
    4) You'l see that the original iTunes installation program consists of 6
    different installation programs.
    4 utility programs (necessary for iTunes to work correctly)
    - Apple Application Support (Version: 1.3.2)
    - Apple Software Update (Version: 2.1.2.120)
    - Apple Mobile Device Support (Version: 3.2.0.47)
    - Bonjour (Version: 2.0.3.0)
    and 2 main programs
    - Quicktime
    - iTunes
    Copy these 6 programs to your desktop with WinRAR,
    where they will appear unpacked.
    5) Install each program one by one IN CORRECT ORDER:
    - First the 4 utility programs, one by one.
    - Following this, install QuickTime.
    - Install iTunes as last.
    6) Check the Windows installed programs list to see if they're all installed.
    You can check the versions of te programs by clicking the information toolbar
    for each program.
    Good Luck..!

  • After Factory Reset - the dreaded 3F0 message "please install an operating system".

    I have seen numerous threads on the 3F0 message relating to missing HDD/OSes but none seem to match mine.
    I have an (albeit old) HP Envy 13-1050EA,  I decided to completely refresh it and go back to factory reset state.
    The reset completes succesfully, the machine then starts it's setting up the OS (Windows 7 HP).  It reboots a couple of times as expected then suddenly throws the 3F0 message Just after its finished installing drivers.
    I have performed the usual HDD tests - the disk is there, all present and correct.  In fact I have tried it with various HDD and get the same results:
    I can install an OS from OEM (windows 7 and windows 8) without a problem, but ONLY with the recovery disks do I get the 3F0.  But I would like a factory reset with the original Image that I paid for originally - not just the OS (The Linux front etc)
    How do I get the the machine to recognise it has been installing the OS for the past 20 minutes, is HP's recovery faulty in some way? 
    I have two of these machines - identical spec - if I cloned the drive of the working model is it easy enough to change the Windows 7 License Key - are there any other keys that I'd need to be aware of?
    Any help would be gratefully accepted.

    Welcome Blue.
    You can clone the drive and change the product key.
    You must make sure that they both have the same version of Windows COA's.
    After you have the cloned drive booted go to START then COMPUTER then SYSTEM PROPERTIES.
    At the bottom of SYSTEM PROPERTIES you will see CHANGE PRODUCT KEY.
    Click on it and put the product key in that is on the bottom of that laptop.

  • "Please install iLife '08 before installing iMovie HD 6"

    Quite awhile ago(A couple of months) I experienced hard drive troubles and had to go to the Apple store to get a new one. I had iLife '08 on there before I got a new had drive, and iMovie 6 worked fine. But now when I try to reinstall iMovie 6, it gives me the message "Please install iLife ’08 before installing iMovie HD 6"
    Is there a way to redownload iLife?

    Do you still have the OS disks that came with your Mac? If it originally came with iLife 08, they are on one of the disks.

  • Please install excel as a viewer

    Dear All,
    I am having the similar problem like many here before. Unable to Open the reports. RRMX is not working. Gives a message "Please instal excel as a viewer".
    I have read through all the posts related to this topic in this forum. Have gone through the OSS Note 160995. Have even tried to download the SAP BW 3.5 AddOn Patch on WIKI FAQ. But that patch is not downloading, seems corrupted or not existing. Have reinstalled and installed MS Office. Have reinstalled SAP Front end components also.
    None of the above seem to have solved my problem. Please help, am totally lost.

    Hi,
    The BEx Analyzer is an Add-on for Microsoft Excel. This sounds like a problem with your patch level, although it could also be an authorization problem. If it is a patch issue, you will need to get your Basis team to match the SAP GUI patch with the BEx you are running. If it is an authorizations issue, you will need to add the authorization object to view Workbooks. Either way, try running ST22 and see if it shows the error message. If it shows up here, it will have details about exactly what is going wrong and what you need to do to repair it. Hope this helps somewhat.
    Cheers,

  • Quicktimeplayer "Please install apple application support"

    I'm working with over 500 Windows 7 x86 computers and an image to deploy with.  When I install the standalone QuickTime 7.76.80.95 through a push out (SCCM) with the command with "QuickTimeInstaller7.7.6.exe /qn" and "QuickTimeInstaller7.7.6.exe /quiet" we get the message "Please install apple application support" when opening the program.  We are unable to get past this message.
    I can't even get our x64 version to install at all through a push out, batch file, etc.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I don't have any specific answers for you, but if you unpack the QuickTime installer with something like 7-Zip you should find it contains three .msi files, AppleApplicationSupport.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi and QuickTime.msi. The version of AAS in that package is 2.3.6, the version bundled with the latest build of iTunes is 3.1.3. Do these machines have iTunes installed?
    As far as I know QuickTime is 32-bit only, and if you want iTunes to be able to use it on a 64-bit system you may need to install the version found at iTunes for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards) which is a 64-bit installer for mostly 32-bit code, similar to all 64-bit versions of iTunes prior to 12.1.
    If you install QuickTime in interactive mode from the desktop with administrator rights do you get the same error message?
    Can you batch install AppleApplicationSupport.msi and then QuickTime.msi?
    If there is something particular about your systems that is preventing AAS installing at all then place the .msi in the root of the C: drive and use this command to produced a detailed log for inspection:
    msiexec /i C:\AppleApplicationSupport.msi /l*v "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Log_AAS.txt"
    In case you're typing rather than copy/pasting the switch in the middle reads slash el star vee (not one) and forces verbose logging.

  • IMovie 08 Requirements. Can't install iMovie 08! Please help!

    I have a G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz PPC with 2gb of memory.
    I am trying to install iLife 08.
    The requirements say:
    iLife ’08 requirements
    Hardware: Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor
    • iMovie requires a Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster)
    • iDVD requires 733MHz or faster processor
    512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended; high-definition video requires at least 1GB of RAM
    I have the minimum.
    Why can't I install iMovie if i have the minimum requirements?
    Please help! I bought iLife 08 just to run the new iMovie. Don't tell me i have to purchase a new computer now?!?
    Thanks!

    As Ben says, solved, it is.
    Here's my little saga:
    Upon detaching the 24" from the ATI 9200 and restarting, the installation, including iMovie, went without a hitch. Again, this is with the 9200 still seated comfortably in its PCI slot.
    After reattaching the display and restarting, iMovie '08 would not even launch. I was greeted with a small dialog box:
    "*Quartz Extreme Required*
    iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme."
    The only button was Quit. As a comparison, I then launched iMovie '06. I was greeted with this:
    "*Your computer contains a graphics card which may not support iMovie.*
    iMovie requires a “Quartz Extreme Compatible” graphics card. Certain iMovie features such as Themes, Ken Burns Photos, and Video FX may not work properly with your graphics card."
    In this instance, however, my options were "Quit" and "Launch iMovie." Selecting "Launch iMovie" allowed me to use the application, but without the Quartz animations.
    Definitely a "kinder, gentler" iMovie.
    Whenever I wish to use either version of iMovie, I'll have to unplug the third display, and restart before I can get down to business.
    Two things of interest to me are:
    1) What would happen if I had unplugged the third display and restarted, launched iMovie (either version, but '08 especially), and then hot-attached the third display to the 9200? I'm curious to see what would happen. Naturally, attaching and un-attaching displays to a running Mac is not recommended, but it's been fairly common practice in the Mac repair shops at which I've worked. *I definitely do not recommend it, as you may end up frying something.*
    That being said, I'm still curious to see if iMovie would still run properly, freeze, or quit.
    2) Remember a few generations of Mac OS X back there was a little software hack called "PCI Extreme?" It's purpose was to fool an application into thinking you were Quartz enabled. There were many caveats, most notably that it could not perform magic on older cards, but many folks had success with it in Jaguar and Panther. Now, it seems, a few Tiger users are playing with it. The developer’s notes mention the following:
    "Unfortunately, because Apple hardcoded the setting into CoreGraphics, I'm not aware of a way to enable both AGP and PCI graphics quartz acceleration at the same time. If you know a way, please let me know."
    Therein, as the Bard tells us, lies the rub. Still, this avenue remains interesting. If I knew the first thing about coding, I'd delve into this to see if there was a method by which an application like iMovie would at least "ignore" the 9200 (as in this particular case) and just let the X850 XT do its thing.
    For the adventurous among you, PCI Extreme is still available and does, to some extent, function in Tiger. You can get a it at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8979#descContainer_link
    I agree that this issue is solved insofar as the boundaries of the initial question posted by Marc. It's the geeky can of worms that follows that will nag at me for a while.
    This is ironic, as I use iMovie so infrequently I shouldn’t be concerned by this, especially seeing as there is a work-around if at least one of your installed cards is, indeed, capable of baring the brunt.
    The biggest lingering issue, to me, is why can't we have a better, more powerful PCI option than the 9200? I suppose the answer is; "There is. It's called a Mac Pro."
    This has been a fun one. Good work, everyone!
    As always, I remain your humble crooner.

  • Cant install iMovie 6 owning iLife 08'?!

    Hi, I own a Macbook purchased few months ago, just before the new line came out... :P.
    On it I found pre-installed iLife 08' including therefore iMovie. I needed some features that were lacking on imovie 08', and seraching aroud this forum i found out that iMovie 6(having those features) was available for download to users owning iLife 08'. Excellent.
    From this post (on which i also left a comment):
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8745892#8745892
    I Found the link and downloaded it.
    I tryed to install it but it said: "the installation cannot continue as I need iLife 08' installed".
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks.
    Ps: i am not sure if this post will count as "double-post" having left a comment on the that link i just gave. If so I am sorry, I thought that being the question marked as solved it was closed.

    Thnx all!
    I have done as suggested and all went fine!
    Fortunatly i had already downloaded iLife06 HD before they removed the link from the site ;P
    Firewire... I know some people really like it and am sure they have all the good reason in the world to do that. But so far, I have never used it in my all life.
    Thanks all again!

    The instalation process runs smoothly without any error message and iTunes has been installed in my computer before. The problem started with the update no. 12. Any idea what's going on? Thank you

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

    While installing Acrobat XI Pro, the installation automatically rolls back and I get the message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." How to resolve it.
    How do I modify the system.

    Hi Rgardezi,
    The only reason why Acrobat installation fails and throw this error message is when there are some services running in the background causing the installer not to complete the installation. My take is try the following steps and suggest if you were able to install the products or not :
    1) Navigate to control panel and confirm that there is no line Item that talks about Acrobat. If you see Acrobat XI listed there, please remove them.
    2) Perform a selective Start up using the steps mentioned in this link.
    Please suggest if the above mentioned steps were able to resolve the query for you or not.

    Hi,
    I have Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition installed on my computer. I keep get error message said "Please install Visual Studio 2005 before install Acrobat 9 Plugin Wizard" when I installed Visual Studio App Wizard  Acro9PIWizInstaller.msi.
    Any idea?

    Lol
    Do you take me as a joker ?
    *Of course I have contacted the micorsoft support first !*
    *They ask me to try to install the .net framework 3.5, to see if the setup wasn't define as XP compatible.*
    *Then they don't have answer yet and asked me to contact Toshiba support (funny no ?)*
    Also If you look at the microsoft support forum the only installation pbm with Visual Studio with Vista is toshiba laptop satelitte related
    Ok now, as it's my job, here is what I think :
    Maybe the laptop was first setup with XP and maybe Tshiba reseler did install Vista on it as a migration !
    First case
    So to be absolutly sure it wasn't the case I did a format of my HDD and reinstalled vista from the Toshiba Crash and recovery CD
    Second case
    The problem remain, so it is possible that this Recovery CD and/or any other Toshiba product create this problem !!!!
    Note that the C# or J# express just work fine, it's only the Visual Studio 2008 tem suite and pro

    I would try the installer disks of your G5.. probably contains iMHD6 ..
