Hi Barbara,
Try Pacifist...

then extract/install what you need from your Install Disc.

I just tried to install iLife '11. I was informed that I was using an "invalid certificate" which had expired March 22, 2012. Where do I go from here?

iLife installation went fine, and I can see some useful changes in my iPhoto software. There is a small mystery however: despite the visible changes, the software still describes itself as v.8.1.2. Since I see no problem I am not going to go chasing one, but then I think you may see something I don't. Am I OK or is there something else I need to do?

Trying to install iLife 06 on MacBook Pro. Apps to install are greyed out.

I transferred all my files from a G4 PowerBook 17" to a MacBook Pro 17" just recently and accidentally overwrote the Universal Binary version of iLife that came installed on the MacBook Pro with the PowerPC version of iLife. I called Apple and they said to delete the old apps and then reinstall the new apps from the iLife 06 DVD if I can.
I have the install DVD, but when I go to "Customize" and attempt to install the apps, it greys out the main apps (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD and iDVD).
When I go to "Easy Install" it offers an "upgrade" option. I have since deleted the apps and there is nothing to upgrade.
Please help me! Thanks!

Open the /Library/Receipts/ folder, move any receipts related to iLife and the iLife applications out of the folder, and try installing iLife again. Regardless of whether or not the installation was successful, move back any receipts which weren't recreated and throw away the ones which were.

Tried to install iLife '11, now I'm stuck in a login loop

First my MacBook froze up upon installation complete. So I restarted and now my login screen is stuck in a loop (I login, I see the blue screen, it goes back to the login screen).
PLEASE HELP!

Boot into Safe Mode and try launching iPhoto there. If you're able to launch and operate, close, boot back into the normal mode and try again.

Updated to Tiger. Now unable to install iLife '05

A while back I wanted to upgrade from OS 10.2 to Tiger. I didn't have a DVD drive (just a regular CD-RW drive) so I bought a Pioneer DVR-110 super drive and installed it. At the time I didn't have all of my files backed up, so I didn't choose the erase and install option...I just chose the option to update the OS and keep the data.
After I performed the OS upgrade to Tiger, I then installed iLife '05. Everything seemed to work fine except there were a few items in the trash which would never seem to empty. Also, my computer was running a little bit slower.
After about one month, the finder frequently would "not respond" to certain basic commands such as opening files and folders.
To remedy the situation, I backed up all of my data onto DVD's and decided to perform an erase and install of Tiger. Things seemed to work fine. However, when I tried to install iLife again, the installer would not properly open. The Finder would still issue me the warning "not responding" and I seemed to be stuck. I opened disk utility and ran a verification and the verification passed. I thought that was weird so I ran the verification again and was told the volume needed to be repaired; inconsistent results. I wasn't sure if it was the installation disk or not, so I took the disc over to the local electronics store (by the way, I live in Japan, but all of my stuff was bought in the US) and inserted the iLife DVD into the stores iMac. The DVD checked out fine and the installer came up the way it should. So, I know there is something wrong with my computer, but not quite sure what.
My Power Mac G4 Dual 533 MHz is running with firmware 4.1.8f5. Could this be a firmware issue? There is a firmware update available, but it's been available for quite some time and I've never needed it before. In addition, my computer didn't give me any firmware warnings. I don't think it's the DVD player because it's worked fine before (didn't need to install any drivers before) and I can insert other DVD's and they work fine. It's just the iLife install DVD that is acting up.
Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.
Power Mac G4 Dual 533 MHz Digital Audio Mac OS X (10.4)

Thanks for your replies. I have backed up my data, reinstalled OS 10.4 by performing an erase and install, and am still having issues. Since I essentially started from scratch, I don't really know what to do. Things I still can't do:
-Start up from the OS 9 cd. I am trying to update my firmware, but can't because I can't run OS 9. The firmware update requires running OS 9 from the hard disk. I currently don't have OS 9 installed.
-Open the iLife DVD to install the software. Everytime I try opening the install DVD, the finder freezes.
-Update to later versions of OS 10. Everytime I try to update, applicable installer says I cannot perform the necessary update.
I removed third party memory and re-installed OS 10.4 again, but that didn't solve the problems I'm having. Does anybody have any ideas????
Thanks

Problem installing iLife '04 with g4 OS x 10.2.8.

I finally got a DVD drive for my G4 quicksilver.
I am running OS x 10.2.8.
I am trying to install ilife '04 from DVD to get garage band, I had previously installed itunes and imovie from the cdr.
Now when I try to install ilife from the DVD I get the message " This installation cannot proceed because one of the following applications is running ....garageband, itunes, iphoto, imovie, iDVD "
I am not running any of these at the time of install, and cannot find a way of "quitting" any of these programs ... what can I do?
Can I uninstall these, how ?

JAZZCATT, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do a Shutdown & then a Startup. That should ensure that no apps are running. Then try the install.

Error installing iLife 09 - "run preflight script for Registration"

Hi,
I am trying to install iLife 09 and am getting the error above (run preflight script for registration) and cant figure out how to fix it. I have run a permissions repair, rebooted and it just doesnt want to let me install. My Install.app is present in /System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app and have installed all the latest updates for 10.5
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ian
Edit: I see this could be in the wrong forum - my apologies - please move to the correct forum.

I'm having the same problem. I cannot instal Ilife on my new Imac.
I first tried to install all programs together via the installation guide. but it kept crashing without any reason.
after that I tried to install each program seperately via the customized installation guide but again the installation guide crashed.
for each program the following messages appeared:
run preflight script for iphoto, Imovie etc.
So what can I do about this. The warning message said I had to contact the manufacturer.
Thanks

Iphoto '11 says its incomplete or damaged and won't open after installing ilife '11, which does not show up in applications folder

I just tried to install iLife '11 on my MacBook I purchased in January, 2011. Now, iPhoto '11, which was installed into the computer when I bought it, will not open. Instead, it gives an error message: "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." On top of that, I cannot locate iLife '11 that I installed into the computer in the applications folder. I'm sure I installed the program because it told me installation was complete. I restarted the computer and am still having the same problems. Thanks for any help.

iLife 11 is not an application. It's a suite of applications of which iPhoto 9 is one. Did you purchase the boxed version of iLife 11? If you did then you'll need to reinsatll iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto 9 from the iLife 11 disk.

Error installing ilife

tried to install iLife "11 on my iMac 24 running OSX 10.6.8 but keep getting an error saying to contact software manufacturer. My iMac does have the Intel Core 2 Duo processor with plenty of space on it. Can anyone tell me wny I am getting this error and what I can do about it/

The latest iPhoto version you can run with 10.6.8 is 9.2.3. So you should be able to install iPhoto from the iLife 11 disk and update to 9.2.3.
Get the demo version of Pacifist and use it to install the iApps you need from the iLife 11 disk. See if that gets around the error.
However, the OP in this topic couldn't install iLife 11 on 10.6.8 and surmized after considerable searching that one needed 10.7.5: HT4411 iLife '11 System requirements?: Apple Support Communities.
I don't know if that's true or not. But the specs for iPhoto 9.2.3 give jus 10.6.3 as the minimum system. So using Pacifist should do the job.

When I click 'install bundle software' on my Mac Applications disk to install ilife, it says it cannot install

Repair permissions from the disk.

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.

Installing ilife 08 on imac g4

I have read that you can install everything from ilife 08 on to a G4 machine except imovie. I am running leopard on a 1ghz imac g4 with 512 mb memory and 80 GB hard drive. Got lots of room on the HD. I was trying to install ilife 08 from the disk, but DVD would never mount. I know I can try installing via Target Disk Mode, but I have misplaced my firewire cable, so that is out. Is there any other ideas on how to install, or why it wont mount?

iLife 8 System Requirements:

Do you meet all those requirements?
