Uninstall iDVD, iMovie, GarageBand, World Book 2004

Hello.
I would like to know how to remove the following applications:
- iDVD
- iMovie
- GarageBand
- Worl Book 2004
The disk space used by this applications is really huge, I never use them. I am now lacking drive space & I rather like to keep as much as possible picture in iPhoto, instead of keeping never used applications & archiving pictures.
Of course I would like to do it as clean as possible & to keep the opportunity to re-install them later, even if it is highly unlikely.
Thanks for the support!

Drag the applications to the Trash, then empty the Trash. IDVD, iMovie, and Garageband also have additional files that will be found in the /Library/Applications Support/ folder. Those folders can also be dragged to the Trash and deleted.

Missing iDVD iMovie GarageBand iPhoto

A while back I had some problems with my Mac. I took it in and I had to completely reinstall Leopard. They also connected something to my computer and did all this stuff. This was about 2-3 months ago. I never noticed till now, but I'm completely missing iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand. I never noticed because I never needed to use these programs until now. Anyways, I'm very frustrated. My computer came with these programs. It's obvious I used to have these programs because I still have icons or file folders connected with these programs. I don't want to have to spend $80 on something that came with my computer.
Thanks to anyone that replies,

Perform a custom install of them from your computer's original disks, and then update them as needed. If you have a retail version of Mac OS X 10.5, it doesn't have those applications.

World Book Encyclopaedia 2004 Works OK. World Book Atlas Doesn't?

I have an old World Book 2004 Encyclopaedia which surprisingly being a PowerPC app works well in Snow Leopard.
However, the World Book Atlas which comprises a spinning globe will not even open.
I realise it is a very old app and I have no intention of paying for an upgrade but wondered if there was some way to get the Atlas to work? (It did work in Leopard).
Is Rosetta available for SL ?

HI Ian,
You can install Rosetta from your Snow Leoaprd install disc.
Insert the SL into the optical drive. When the window opens, click Optional Installs, then click Optional Installs.pkg.
The installer will open. When you get to Installation Type select Rosetta and click Continue.
Quit the installer and restart your Mac.

I lost iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie! How can I get them back?

Hi,
I have a PowerBook G4, which originally came with Panther. It came with iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, Garageband (I think that's it... basically iLife). I bought Tiger and upgraded it. These programs were all still here, and with some downloads, were actually updated. Unfortunately, I was having problems with Mail, Safari, and other programs and I erased my hard drvie and started over. Before doing this, I saved all of my photos, movies, projects, etc, to an external hard drive.
Anyway, when I reinstalled Tiger, it installed it as it comes from the store, not as an upgrade, meaning iLife is not included and installed! So, I paid for all of these programs, which were originally included, and now I don't have them anymore. I tried loading them off of my original recovery discs, but the only way I think I might be able to do that is if I erase everything and start over with Panther, then reinstall Tiger. I'm not sure this will even work, and I know it will take a long time, which I don't have.
Does anyone know how I can get these programs, which I already paid for, without buying iLife?
Thanks

I don't have panther but with my "full disc" of Tiger you can do it this way:
Put in the DVD of Tiger
Open pacifist-> press "not yet" or pay if you want
Open package, choose the DVD of Tiger, there choose "install bundled software"
then click open
now it's looking through the DVD and gives you all the options
for example:contentsofiMovieHDpackage
now click on that one once, then on the top either choose 'install" or "extract to"

World book emac favor

This will probably be lost in the ether, but just thought I'd put it out there.
I have lost the emac restore CDs. I had worldbook 2004 and 2005 previously installed and have replaced the hard drive and upgraded from 10.4. to 10.5
Even though I copied the huge world book folders and put them in the new drive, the world book app won't run and I am instructed to reinstall. I have the world book 2004 CD but I think this is only multimedia and not the installer, which I think was only to be found in the restore CDs.
Would anyone care to send me the world book 2004 or 2005 installer (using something like pacifist to extract it?) just a shot in the dark! I have no idea what size it would be, but maybe it can be isolated from the other resources of the program (timeline, etc) and it wouldn't be very large?
The error message doesn't complain about not being able to run in 10.5, just that the application was moved and needs to be reinstalled or words to that effect. It actually loads all the menus too, but they are grayed out. I did see some restore CDs on ebay so that might where I'm going with it next. Surprisingly, games like nanosaur and others didn't complan at all about being moved.
Thanks!

IMovie, iDVD, and Garageband all unexpectedly quit

I just got a new Mac and Migrated my old Mac PowerBook running iLife 08 and Tiger. Everything migrated and iPhoto and iTunes work fine, but iMovie, iDVD, and Garageband all quit unexpectedly when trying to open them.

haha okay i never said ilife should come with it (don't worry guys i know better :P) i just simply did not expect my installation of leopard to delete four applications that had already been there including two that come with every mac computer without even buying ilife. but thank you Kieran Jarrett for your help i am now happily running leopard with all my apps back.

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 can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?

There's a reported bug among iDVD '08 users where burning
large projects are resulting in audio synch problems near the
end of the burned DVD.
In other words, the audio slowly goes out of synch towards the
end of burned projects.
This is a problem inherent with 'DVD '08.
I tried uninstalling iDVD '08 and replacing with '06 but it doesn't
work. You try that and iDVD will not launch at all.
Even tried to partition my drive and install iLife '06 to the partition
but the system will not let me.
Anyone have a solution how to completely uninstall iLife '08
components and install iLife '06?
Thanks

I upgraded to iLife 08 from 06 (bad move). I couldn't install iMovie because my Mac is too old (must be Intel-based or comparable). iDVD didn't work--the document window was always black, even with a theme selected. The Virtual Band function in GarageBand did nothing whatsoever. I trashed the '08 applications, moved all Preferences files to my desktop, reinstalled iLife '06. Now, iDVD won't launch--just flashes the menu bar and exits back to the Finder. So, I have several DVD projects on my system that I cannot finish because I cannot reinstall iLife '06 (like the originator of this problem, "How can I uninstall iDVD '08 and install iDVD '06?") I hope someone has an answer as this is frustrating and costly to my small business.

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

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

How do you uninstall iDVD from iLife '08?

I've tried numerous times to remove the iDVD components from *iLife '08* from my system so that I can reinstall iDVD from *iLife '06*. (Why Apple does not provide an Uninstall option is a mystery to me.) I've removed the application file and the Preferences file, but there must be other files that I'm overlooking (such as the Themes file). Can anyone provide me with a _list of all the components_ (by exact file name) I need to remove along with the _exact paths_ to their locations? iDVD/iLife '08 will not run correctly on my system, so I really need to try and reinstall *iDVD/iLife '06*. If anyone can provide such a list I'm sure it will help a great number of people who run into similar problems, and you will be a hero forever! Many Thanks.

bearinthewoods:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can install iDVD 6 and run it but as Ian pointed out you'll probably have to manually import photos, iMovie files, etc. into an iDVD project. The media browser probably won't work. You can certainly try it though. To uninstall iDVD 7 delete the application, the preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, and all files with iDVD in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.

"view in mac app store" launches World Book

Running App Store, I've had this problem trying to obtain applications for my MacBook [OS 10.6.8] on several occasions. I locate the app I want to download, and clicking on the button "view in mac app store" launches the program 2011 World Book, annoying, but blocking my route to obtaining the software I seek. Please advise.

Might be the cache...
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder
Restart your Mac. See if that helped.

Byron,
maybe I didn't explain it right: commercial DVDs don't mean movies with commercials - it means they are available to buy in stores (commercially).
And, if you want to make your own movie, we can help you here using iMovie, but as I and MadisonP said, you can't easily copy purchased DVDs because they have protection built in (they don't want you to copy the movie). Since these are purchased DVDs, it may not be worth your while to spend money on any software if it is not going to work anyway.
And asking is just fine - how do you find out if you don't ask....
This is why we can't talk about it:

You are asking how to make pirate copies of commercial DVDs that you have somehow ripped to your Mac?
As that is illegal in most countries, being a flagrant breach of copyright, it is also against the terms of use of these forums to discuss it.

How to convert VCD files into readable format on iDVD, iMovie, DVD player

I found a bunch of old VCDs that I want to convert so that I can use them on iDVD, iMovie. What is the best free converter and would appreciate any tips as to the best way to reduce any loss of resolution. I tried last year converting thru mpeg streamclip and the movie came out pixelated in .mov.

ffmpeg might be very difficult to install and use, but not FFMpegX. FFMpegX takes ffmpeg, adds a very simple Mac OS X UI on top, and packages it as an application bundle. No files to put in strange places, and simple to use.
I highly recommend it. It comes preconfigured with setting for common file formats and automatically recognizes the input format. You can simply tell it to convert a directory of files from whatever format they were in to H.264 QuickTime movies and it'll do it.
