Trouble installing ilife '11

I've had some trouble with iLife '11 tonight, I tried putting int he disk and installing it, and it goes through the entire process fine, but when its finally done, it does not open any of the new programs, and I have searched for hours in spotlight and finder (and also multiple attempts at reinstallation) with no '11 programs to be found. does anybody have any tips for installation or how to bring up my new programs? thank you

Just had the same problems as you have. I'm not an expert, but I found the solution. When I installed iLife '11, my iPhoto icon asked for "update", but could not do any update, could not open that program and my 9000 photo's were gone. Just went to Spotlight, a search to iPhoto and clicked on iPhoto Library Manager. Than click op "relaunch iPhoto" and it starts updating immediately. Later I checked info and saw the icon of iLife "11. Hope it will work for you too.

  • 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.

  • Only 90MB disk space after installing iLife '11 - how to move iLife?

    Hi, my installation of OS X is on a small SSD and I just barely had enough space to install iLife '11. I need more free disk space though so I need to move the largest iLife programs or maybe the whole thing. Obviously I wouldn't be posting here if the iLife '11 installer would let me install to my external drive but that wasn't the case. I tried "moving" iMovie but I got an error saying that I didn't have permissions. Thanks for any help!
    MY LIBRARIES ARE EMPTY! So moving them won't help!

    Well - I partially figured out my own solution. You can move iLife. I moved the apple loops in /Library/Audio and all the iLife directories in /Library/Application Support to my storage drive. I made symbolic links for each folder I moved. Then I moved the apps to the other drive. I also moved my home folder - thanks Tom. Now I have 4GB of space back and I'm not seeing any more slowdown. I realize now if I have any other problems I'll just symbolic link more stuff off my startup SSD. Works like a charm for now. I'll update this thread if I run into any trouble. I ran GarageBand and all the loops play instantly off the symbolic links. So to all of you - remember to think creatively! My only alternative was to reinstall os x on the regular HDD - glad I took a moment to learn about symbolic links.

  • Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

    I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
    I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully.   However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6.   In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
    When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I understand that iMovie HD  is universal, not PowerPC.  How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
    Thanks

    OK, I made some progress.
    I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
    But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

  • Problems with 10.4.10 when installing iLife 08 and IWork 08

    Hi there, I just bought iLife and IWork 08 and am having trouble installing them successfully. I upgraded to 10.4.10 to meet the requirements of IWork but my MacBook runs oddly when I install these two packages. Firstly the usual installer is not available so I am using a third party installer called pacifist to install the new software. The programs such as garageband and itunes and iphoto won't launch - other programs like safari crash. I am now back at 10.4.07. Any ideas on what could be causing these problems? My crash reporter references problems with frameworks and systemGUI. i did get Garageband to work briefly one night but the next day the problems returned. I have used disk utiity to check preferences but it was okay and does not seem to help. A hardware test was also okay and the system is operating fine in 4.7 so this seems to be a software issue. Any ideas? Should I wait unti the next version of 10.4.10?

    I can see from your answer and others on this board, that we are not alone.
    I was thinking of emailing Macworld or some of the other mac sites to get them to take up the story.
    Otherwise I suppose it will be a period of denial from Apple
    And then with a bit of luck an update that will iron out these bugs
    Cheers

  • Can't install ilife!

    Hi everyone.
    I upgraded from an ibook to a macbook back in september, and about 2 weeks ago my hard drive failed. After replacing the drive, i tried reinstalling the os, but kept running into trouble when i inserted the second disc (kept getting an error and told to try reinstalling). Eventually I figured out that i needed to erase what I'd already installed and start over with a custom install, leaving out all of the extra stuff. This worked like a charm, and when i booted up, i tried to install ilife. Again, when I inserted the second disc, it wouldn't work. I really only want garageband, and I have no idea how to go about getting it. Does anyone have any idea what I can do about this?

    Try using Pacifist to extract GarageBand and the GarageBand support files from that disk.

  • "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.

  • I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app.  It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete.  What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

    I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app.  It says it is damaged or incomplete.  What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures?  I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

    I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated.  Software update usually takes care of it.  It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version.  I've not tried that.
    You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto.  Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
    If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store.  That is the version you need.  You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
    good luck.
    PS.  your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder.  don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

  • 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?

    Hey. Thanks for all your help. Got 6.0.4 and was able to import my photos. Had to KEEP the existing library AND create a new library using my backup, then import. Crazy. Yeah!

  • 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.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    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.

  • Unable to access iPhoto after installing iLife 06

    I installed iLife 06. After doing so, my iPhoto folder cannot be accessed. I get a message saying "There is a problem accessing 1 or more files in iPhoto library folder. In the Finder, select iPhoto library folder. Choose File >Get Info. Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder and then apply this setting to all enclosed items." I have done this, but I still can't get it to open. Any ideas?

    susieslp:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That has happened to a number of users for some unknown reason. Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Good luck.
    Do you Twango?

  • I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.
