Reinstall Garageband without disc.

Hey, my iMac came with the 2008 iLife, but something or someone deleted Garageband. The problem is iLife came preinstalled, and therefore I wasn't sent the disc. How do I reinstall at no extra cost, or should I just upgrade?

Reinstall iPhoto without discs?

How do I reinstall iPhoto without discs?

Was it installed on your Mac when you got it?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
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 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.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Reinstall iWork without disc

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of reinstalling Lion to get my Macbook running fresh again.
However, I am facing some problems. I have just moved to another country and don't have any of the discs of my software with me (iWork and Office, mostly). After I have reinstalled Lion, is it possible for me to reinstall iWork without the discs? Will the Macbook somehow 'remember' my serial number or do I need the disc to reinstall it?
Thanks in advance
Michael

You need to have the original retail disk or a disk image of the disk. With iWork '09 there is no serial number for the installation. If you migrate from a clone or Time Machine backup of your existing system it might remember, but I wouldn't count on it. You will either need someone to send you the disk or buy the needed iWork apps from the Mac App Store.

Is there a way to reinstall garageband without the ilife 08 discs?

hello, i was hoping someone could help me. i just got a job with a fairly new company (a little over a year old). i was given a macbook to work on that a previous employee had used. initially, the macbook had ilife, i assume, since i recorded some music using garageband and edited video clips on imovie for a presentation.
there were a lot of files and programs that i wasn't too sure about, and wanted a clean start anyway, so i wiped the macbook clean using the mac osx install discs. when i restarted the system i noticed that garageband and imovie were no longer there. is there anyway to retrieve or reinstall these apps? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

i pointed that out to i.t. and they said that it was most likely due to the fact that i restored my mac with a different disc...one, that they originally provided...as opposed to the install discs. they said that if i do 'another' clean sweep, with the original discs, that it should work fine. but i'm a bit skeptical, as you can imagine. i am very frustrated with our i.t. department for not supporting me and for giving me the runaround. sure, i've only been with the company for a few weeks, but a little decency goes a long way, i think. had they provided the original discs, i could've done a clean restore and would be working, being productive, as opposed to trying to find the solution some other way.
what are my options?

I do not have my discs for install. My main computer is dying and purchased new computer. How can I reinstall on new computer without discs?

Hi,
My main computer is dying - keys do not work and video is gone.
I purchased a new retina Macbook pro and want to reinstall Logic Audio Pro 9. I do not have my original discs. I can still access the program on the original Macbook to deauthorize if necessary.
But how can I reinstall wihtout the discs?
Any help would be great. Thank you!

Carbon Copy Cloner -or-
You could remove the HD and put it in an External Enclosure -or-
Maybe try using Apple's Migration Assistant -and finally-
Once you have the new computer set up you may want to use Time Machine

How do I reinstall GarageBand 6.0.5 on my MacBook Pro Retina running OS X Mavericks?

I have recently installed the latest version of GarageBand on my recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" Retina. After discovering two GarageBand icons in the Launchpad, I removed the older version, only to discover that the app was also automatically erased from the drive instead of being moved to Trash. I now need the older GarageBand 6.0.5 as the newer version 10.0.1 lacks certain essential features that the older one had. However, due to the lack of a restore from Trash option (due to the unexpected automatic erase once removed from Launchpad) as well as a complete lack of installation DVDs in the newer MacBook Pros, how do I reinstall GarageBand 6.0.5?

After discovering two GarageBand icons in the Launchpad, I removed the older version, only to discover that the app was also automatically erased from the drive instead of being moved to Trash.
That is what deleting from the Launchpad is supposed to do - removing the icon and uninstalling the app. It follows the model of the IOS home screen, where you can browse and remove apps installed on the iPad or iPhone.
if you want to clean up your launchpad without uninstalling applications, create a folder in the launchpad by dragging the icons on top of each other. I have one folder apps that I have never used, but do not want to delete.
I now need the older GarageBand 6.0.5 as the newer version 10.0.1 lacks certain essential features that the older one had.
Have you a Time Machine backup of your system, that goes back in time before the time you deleted GarageBand '11? I have seen some posts of forum members, who downgraded the system back to MacOS 10.8.5, but even that did not make GB 6.0.5 appear at the AppStore again.

Best way to reinstall Garageband 6.0.5

Hi,
I recently installed the newest Garageband 10 release on my Macbook Pro along with the in-app purchase download. The thing is, I also want some of the Legacy presets, loops, instruments as well as options from the older 6.0.5 version. I know these programs can coexist on the same system when you update, but I also did a clean install a few months back and didn't reinstall Garageband 6.0.5.
I do, however, have a Time Machine backup on an external drive that has the older application. Here's my problem, I went through my backup and restored Garageband to its own "6.0.5" folder in my current applications. I go to launch it and it comes up with an error saying it can't find the instruments library and to cancel or choose the correct folder. I pointed it to the current instrument folder, but get the same error.
Are there other folders that I need to restore as well and if so, which ones? Do I need to overwrite the current ones that are in the Garageband 10 folder or create a new separate folder for 6.0.5? I don't want to mess up the current instruments for version 10 and start to get errors there too...
If restoring the older version from my Time Machine is too convoluted, would it be better to just reinstall the older Garageband from my installation disks? Can that be done without overwriting the newer version and it's contents?
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro and the latest OSX Mavericks.
Thanks!!

Hi again,
So I reinstalled 6.0.5 from the DVD, but it didn't created a sub folder for it and only Garageband 10 was able to launch. I guess you can't install the older one if Garageband 10 exists, only the other way around.
So I uninstalled both from my system. Reinstalled 6.0.5 from the DVD again and was able to launch it without any problems. Then I reinstalled 10 from the app store and that did the trick. It placed 6.0.5 in its own folder and 10 reinstalled with all my app purchased content and is now able to access legacy stuff. Both coexist on my Mac now.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and help!

Can't open Garageband without ProTools running?

I cannot open Garageband by itself without having ProTools running at the same time. I'm guessing that it has to do with ReWire settings, but I don't know how to fix the problem. This wasn't an issue until today when I was using both programs simultaneously, and now when I attempt to start Garageband by itself it won't load fully until I open ProTools. Is there a preference that I need to delete, or a settting to change in order to make Garageband open individually? Thanks!

I guess I should have elaborated more, but I was kind of in a panic when i posted that first message. Anyway, I trashed all the preferences, and that didn't work, and i actually uninstalled and reinstalled garageband, and that didn't work, and i made a new user profile and tried to open the files there, and that didn't work either. Well, I did eventually get one thing to work, which was to open one of my project files, go do something for about twenty minutes, and then come back, at which point the project would be open. Obviously not an ideal situation. So, any thoughts anyone still has on the topic would be great. Thanks!

Error while opening systemproperties it say reinstall UCM without root uses

UCM 11g gives error while opening Systemproperties applet, it says UCM is installed by root user reinstall it without root user. We have installed the UCM from a non root user however we are getting this error and non of the applet is opening which are in ../bin/ folder.
Is there a way this error can be fixed.
Thanks,
Rajiv

do you have any directories owned by root? I've seen some nfs issues change ownership of mounted directories when they're remounted.
is anything in the /bin/ directory owned by root?
I think you should be safe to chown back to your install user.

I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

What good is GarageBand without an audio in on an iMac other than editing previously recorded files. No overdubbing in a recording program is useless. thanks
