Uninstall Delete World Book and Garage Band without problems i.e Iphoto

With only 30GB, I want to free up space. I am concerned that by just dragging these two files to the trash, I will have problems (as mentioned in other discussions).
Can someone tell me "definitively" how to accomplish this without problems. According to the info on file report, these two programs and associated files take up probably 3-4 GB.
Thanks so much in advance for any guidance.

I know of no problems with iPhoto and trashing World Book.
Hwever, some folks have had problems with iPhoto when Garage Band is trashed - it fails to launch.
My suggestion is to keep Garage Band (the app itself, minus language resources is only about 80MB) but by all means trash the associated Sound Loops - which is where the Gigs of space go. In fact, trashing the app won't remove these - they're in an Application Support Folder.

  • How to reinstall World Book and other bundled apps

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to free up some hard disk space on my iBook in order to be able to store more digital photos. As I rarely use World Book, Marble Blast Gold and Garage Band, I'm thinking of deleting those applications.
    However, I'd like to know if they can be reinstalled if I choose to do so at a later date with the DVDs that came with the iBook.
    Thanks
    12 iBook G4,1.2 GHz, 30 GB HD, 768 RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi Lutetia,
    Yes, all applications that came pre-installed on your iBook can be re-installed using the disk(s) that came with it. See This Article.
    Whilst deleting GarageBand you might also like to delete the supplied loops in HD/Library/Application Support. I deleted mine so long ago I can't remember how big the folder is but it's in excess of 1GB. From memory, World Book has a large file in Application Support too.
    Printer drivers are another space hog and can be found in the HD/Library/Printers folder. You can safely delete any named drivers that you don't have a printer for. For example, if you have a Canon, you can remove Epson, Lexmark, Hewlett Packard & Brother drivers. Epson alone takes up close to 1gb. You can even remove specific drivers from within the manufacturer's folder. For example, if you have an Epson C86 you can safely trash any other specific drivers in the Epson folder like C46, C66 etc. If, at a later date, you buy a printer whose driver you removed they can be added from your install disk, the disk that comes with the printer or downloaded.
    A word of warning: More cautious heads than mine advise against messing in the HD/Library, but if you stick to the examples above, i.e. GarageBand loops, World Book and printer drivers you will be OK.
    You might also like to consider removing Language Support files if you have no need for other languages. This can be done using Monolingual. Heed the warnings on the site, i.e. Don't remove English or American English, or other languages that you have a use for. They can't be reinstalled without reinstalling the OS.
    Last but by no means least, when you have finished dumping your unwanted stuff in the trash, don't forget to empty it. You haven't regained the space until you do
    …and definitely last this time: If in doubt leave it alone and ask!
    Have fun,
    Adrian

  • IMovie and Garage Band gone after Mountain Lion upgrade.

    I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion by buying it in the itunes store and uploading it.  Now, imovie and garage band are gone.  I have nothing in My Purchases, as these came with my mac when I bought it, and I don't think I have a cd.  Can I get these back without buying new? 

    As shldr said, iLife applications (iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, iDVD and iWeb) came preinstalled on your Mac, so if you made a clean install of Mac OS X, they were deleted because Mac OS X doesn't include iLife apps.
    In order to install the iLife applications again, you need the Applications DVD that came with your Mac, so insert it and follow the steps to install your iLife applications. If you haven't got the DVD, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 After installing the applications, open Apple menu > Software Update to install the most recent version

    The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band.  When I try to update I get the following message: You have updates available for other accounts  To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."  Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Thanks for you reply.  I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer.  That's why I'm stumped.  I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password.  When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday.  It didn't recognize it.  I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!
    Carmelo

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

  • Logic Pro (and Garage Band) guitar bug.

    This is a rather irritating bug that happens constantly on my set up. I can play guitar for a couple of minutes then the sound cuts out but then plays after about a three second delay. This happens in both Logic Pro 9 and Garage band but not in Ableton Live or other apps.
    At first I thought it was an interface problem (UA-101) till everything worked without a hitch in Ableton Live. The interface lights also show no delay. I've got a new MacBook pro with Leopard on it with latest versions of Logic and Garage band.
    Anyone else seen this before or know of others that have had this problem. Any suggestions of what I could do to fix it?

    Well I dont get this but I use Apogee Duet, so there could be the difference. Process buffer range could make some difference, set it to low in Preferences/Audio. The other obvious thing is to check the buffer size in preferences is set as low as possible.

  • I have an MPC 1000 and Garage Band

    I would like to produce and sequence my tracks on my MPC 1000 and then dump them into garage band. How is this possible without using the midi feature?
    Also, I  am using an m-audio mobilepre (2 ch) - I also have an mbox...which is best for use with garage band (I am new to Mac and Garage Band - former protools user on my PC)?
    OS - Lion 10.7
    2 external hard drives 500g and 2 tb respectively.
    Any links to youtube or pdf files would be helpful and appreciated.

    Are you sequencing them as MIDI files or some other, more specific, type of file? I still have an old Korg on which I sequenced hundreds of songs, but all using the inbuilt software instead of MIDI. If you are sequencing as MIDI, I don't understand why you'd not want to import them into GB as MIDI files. But that's beside the point: if you don't want them to end up as MIDI files, you can import them as audio files. You know--L and R out of your machine, into the computer. Then, they're audio files and you no longer have any editing capability, apart from EQ and FX which apply to the whole thing. Sorry if that doesn't answer the question.

  • Trouble loading Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Garage Band onto my new iPad Air

    I received my iPad Air on Tuesday.  Since then, I have been trying to load all the apps I had on my original iPad.  So far, everything loaded quickly and successfully, except for my Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Garage Band (which will be new to me).  Over 36 hours of trying to get these much-used apps loaded, I am at a loss of what to do.  I have tried rebooting the iPad, refreshing the load by touching the icon, deleting the app and trying to reload.  Nothing is working.  I appreciate any insight into getting my apps loaded.

    Try this:
    Go here to verify your device registration (you'll need to login using your Apple ID credentials):
    https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    You can view your registered device(s) here and if there are any you've missed registering, you can do that as well. You can also register new devices here. Afterwards, visit the App Store and your free apps should be available to you.
    *IF* this does not work, continue as follows:
    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above. Try to download the apps again from the App Store.

  • Is iPhoto and iMovie and garage band on Lion reinstall thumb drive from Apple??

    Is iphoto and imovie and garage Band On the Os x Lion reinstall thumb Drive Sold By Apple???

    No.  iLife is a separate product that is bundled with the purchase of a new Mac, not the purchase of a new OS.
    So, anyone with an older Mac would have pay for an upgrade to iLife in addition to paying for an upgrade to Lion.
    On a positive note, you can now upgrade separate components in the App Store (i.e. iPhoto), instead of paying for the complete iLife suite

  • The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday.  In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band.  How can I get them back?

    I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text.  They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it.  I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process.  How can I get them back.  The App store says they are already installed.

    What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items.  Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
    Thank you all for your help.

  • No iLife, iPhoto and Garage Band on Mac OS X Lion?

    I recently installed mac os x lion. Before that I had Snowlepord with all iLife,iPhoto and garage band app. Now on new lion OS I don't have any of those. Do I need to download them again ?

    You shouldn't have lost any apps unless you did a fresh install and didn't have a backup.
    Were they preloaded, via retail disc or did you purchase through the app store?
    If preloaded, find the discs that came with your mac, those apps will be on the 2nd disc
    For retail, find the DVD and reinstall
    For the app store, go to the purchased tab and reload.

  • Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11.  If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11?  And will it run on Snow Leopard?

    Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11.  If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11?  And will it run on Snow Leopard?

    then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
    You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks.    This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you -  e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

  • Where do i find iPhoto and Garage Band for OS 1.6.8

    Where can i find iPhoto and Garage Band for OS 10.6.8?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The latest iPhoto and GarageBand versions are not compatible with Snow Leopard, so you can't get them from the App Store.
    Instead, you have to buy iLife '11 in a DVD at Amazon and install it. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version for Mac OS X Snow Leopard
