Trouble updating any iLife programI

I bought iLife 08 a day or two after it was released at the local apple store. It works great, I like it a lot. However, I know a couple of updates have been released, but my software update program never finds available updates. I know it needs to be updated, because every time I open iPhoto or iMovie, a box pops up that says an update is available. It asks me if I want to open software update, I say yes, but it still doesn't find anything.
I went to the Apple download site and downloaded the update file and ran it, but I get an error saying the program is not installed. Any ideas? Thanks.

Make sure your iApps are in the Applications folder and not some subfolder thereof. Otherwise, the installers do not see it and won't run.
Also make sure the iPhoto receipt is in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. None of the files in there should be removed as that's another location installers look to see what version is currently in play.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Cannot Update any CS3 programs on Leopard??

I recently upgraded to leopard 10.5.6 and i reinstalled CS3 with no problems but i can't update them without the installer freezing. I sometimes even need to force the computer to shut down. Has anyone else come across this problem. it's incredibly annoying! Not sure if it's with my new iMac, Leopard or Adobe but would love an answer.
Thanks!

Help!
Hello there.
I did a search and found this thread on my problem, but haven't figured out a solution.
My problem is I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 (I purchased the discs rather than downloaded) which have served me fine on my desktop mac running OS 10.4.11.
I've just bought a MacBook Pro laptop running the latest Leopard OS and I simply can't install from my CS3 discs. My first attempt began to install, I think, then the mac forced a quit mid-installation. Now whichever discs I drop in (application or content) no installers start up.
I was wondering if I could try downloading CS3 from the net, and then enter my serial numbers from the new download. I don't want to upgrade to CS4, CS3 is plenty to be going on with.
Help, help, what should I do?
Thanks...
Devon

Having trouble updating itunes v10.5 onto XP, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." any advise?

Having trouble updating itunes v10.5 onto XP pro. " There is aproblem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. any advise?

1. Open the control panel
2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
Fingers crossed!

Since the last update I have been unable to print from Firefox. No problem printing from Safari or any other program. I've seen a few responses to this problem but only to people running Windows. I'm on a Mac running v. 10.5.8

Also when I click on the link in my email to activate my account (in the hopes that a solve will be emailed to me) I get this message -
"Something is wrong

Same message if I cut and paste the link.

Has anyone had any of the iLife programs crash on them? especially imovie 6

Has anyone had any of the iLife programs crash on them?
I have had my new intel imac 20" for 2 weeks now and i like it a lot...
except I have been getting crashes on imovie (especially), and garageband.
I have had about 10 crashes total so far in about 2 weeks.
Is this sound normal?
thanks, technoreid

How much spare hard disc space have you got? ..Could your disc be so clogged that there's no room for any more movie?
You'll need about 10% of your total hard disc space - e.g; 6GB for a 60GB hard disc - to be kept empty for your Mac to do its "housekeeping" (..creating temporary files, indexing things, and so on..) and iMovie footage uses about 13GB per hour of video.
So if you have a 60GB hard disc, and it's only got 15GB spare, then 6GB of that will really be needed by the Mac itself, giving you about 9GB of usable space, and if you import half an hour of video (6GB) and start cutting it around and editing the audio too, and duplicating a few clips, and adding stills, you're soon going to run out of space!
If your Mac's disc is almost full, you'll probably need to get an external FireWire disc ..say a 160GB or similar size.. then format it as 'Mac OS Extended' (..by selecting that add-on disc and using the 'Erase' tab in the Disk Utility program..) and then you can copy your project over to that new, empty disc, and continue editing it there.

So in order to locate that,
Click on Go at the top
Select Go to folder
type ~/library/
This will take you to the library folder and then you can locate opm.db file at Application Support/Adobe)
5. Download CC desktop from www.creative.adobe.com and try to install it. Incase you are not successfull then please Check the Activity Monitor and see if AAM process is running, if yes then try to kill the process.opm.db file needs to be deleted in order to process further. WIN 7 and 8 (64 bit):

I have the same problem and I haven't solved it yet. On Friday I plugged in my iPad to my work computer after not having done so for quite a while. Today I went onto the work computer and discovered I had not updated iTunes before plugging in the iPad (and which I cannot do without an administrator password). I guess I will update iTunes and try again when I can get the guy to show up with the password. I hope that works. The reset idea does not work on mine.
Was your iiTunes updated before you tried? Have you found any solution yet? Mail and some internet apps still work but games, notes applications, spreadsheets etc. just begin to open and close immediately.
If anybody has answers I'd love to get some clues.
