Updating iphoto to 6.0 on other mac from new install disk?

Hi,
I have a new mac book and would like to install iphoto 6.0 on my older mac. Can I simply use the newer install disk to get the latest version of iphoto? Or will I have to now buy a full package of iLife?
Thanks in advance

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, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I boot up my Mac with the install disk (other problems)?

Hi there,
My Mac ran out of battery the other day and when plugged back into the mains failed to load up other than the blue screen with the Apple logo, followed by the circular progress bar and a long rectangular progress bar (which I assume is disk repair). The disk repair bar tends to get about one-third of the way across, then starts again. After the second time, the Mac chooses to give up and turns itself off - I'm assuming this isn't a fan problem as it seems to switch itself off at exactly the same point each time.
I have tried loading the Mac from the install disk by holding down C on startup, but I can't get to the install screen. I've also tried loading by holding down the shift key, but the system won't load up in safe mode.
I experienced a similar problem earlier this year, but was able to reinstall the Mac and this solved the problem. This time, I'm struggling to get things working. Everything else seems to have been working up until now.
I'd really appreciate any help that you can give me,
Many thanks,
Michael

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

There is a problem in updating iphoto and iMovie, read a response here from a certain Dahveed if I'm not wrong to try this, however I'm a first time mac user, how do you delete this ... /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist

It says 'To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.'
However I only have one account. I've tried to sign out and in several times. But it doesn't work. I do remember changing my password recently. Secondly I'd like to add that I got this macbook air 3 days ago. I'm a first time mac user. It had three updates initially. Mountain lion 10.8.2, iphoto and the imovie. I updated the mountain lion, thinking I'd get the iphoto and imovie done later. However now this problem has come up. Thanks for responding. Hoping to hear from you soon again regarding this.

Corrupted Mac OS X Install disk?

I have an early 2010 MacBook which came with Snow Leopard. I had trouble with the permissions for quite awhile; every time I did a software update I would have trouble booting up and would get stuck on the start up screen. Disk Utility and fsck sometimes helped. Last week I could not get anything to work and could not boot it up at all so I took it to the Geniuses at my Mac Store and they said the HD was fine, but obv the software had issues so they did a free Archive & Install. Everything was fine after that.
Then I bought a new HD to use as a back up, and after I got home I realized it was bigger and faster than the one already in my MacBook so I decided to switch them out. Then I installed Snow Leopard from my Mac OS X Install disk onto the new HD. Now I have software issues and permissions issues again. When I do Disk Utility and try to repair permissions it just keeps saying the same permissions are corrupted over and over, and tells me that some of them will not be repaired.
Does this mean that my Mac OSX Install disk is corrupted? How would I go about getting a new one so I can start over clean again without problems? If I take my MacBook back to the Geniuses, I don't know if they will do an A&I for free again, and also, if I ever need the OS X Install disk for future, I'd like to have one that's not faulty.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks Lumnos, I appreciate your thoughts and your time in responding.
I decided to reformat and erase the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard just to see what would happen. So I started up the computer to Disk Utility using the OS X Install DVD. I clicked on the name of the HD and then clicked "erase". When that was done I went back to the Snow Leopard Installation screen and went through that process. This is all on the HD that I just bought 2 days ago, BTW.
I know you said the iTunes thing is probably unrelated to any permissions problem, but I wanted to see what it looked like after wiping the HD. So after the OS was installed, the first thing I did after start up was open iTunes. It still does not display the Store or recognize my devices.
Then I rebooted into Disk Utility like you suggested. I verified the disk. It said "Macintosh HD appears to be OK" without any messages about having modified anything.
Then I verified permissions. All it said was something like "Verification of permissions is complete" and didn't give any other report, no error messages, nothing, except that it was complete.
Then I tried repairing permissions, and it did the same thing. Said it was complete without any other messages.
So I guess the permissions and the disk are fine?
Any thoughts on what to do about iTunes? I don't think updating the iTunes software will change anything, as all my software was updated prior to posting this discussion, and I was having the same problem.

Mac OS X Install Disk doesn't show up

I forgot my original administrative password on my old Power Mac G5. My family has many macs so we have many Mac OS X Install disks. The disks that i have found say "iMac (Mac OS X Install)" on them. I am wondering if, even though it says iMac, it will work to reset the password, or if that is the reason the disk doesn't show up. I have tried putting the disks in, holding "c" and that doesn't work, and when I hold "Option" the only thing that shows up is the Macintosh HD.

Hi there, Gray Discs are Machine & Architecture specific.

Mac OS X Install Disk

I'm trying to make back-up copies of my Mac OS X Install Disk DVD using disk utility. Even when I create the disk image with compression, when I ask to burn the target dvd I get a message that there is not enough room on the 4.7 GB disk. What am I doing wrong? What's the step-by-step method?

In that case, can you tell me how to configure a bus-driven external drive to use as a boot disk using the start-up-with-option-key trick? I just need the minimum stuff to boot the system. My Mac OS X install DVD wants to bundle a lot of apps and fonts and languages when I've tried to do this. Thanks again for your help!
Rieduke: didn't you notice that the Install DVD is over 7Gig and that your Mac only writes ca. 4.2 gig DVDs ?
I really wouldn't bother buying an external Burner - spend the money on good sized external HD which you can also partition for use for backup (We'll all be using 'DVD-Form factor' BluRay at ca. 40Gig ea. soon, anyway).
If you want a backup of your OS X Install disk (and I certainly think you should), get help from a friend, an understanding Mac dealer/consultant -show them the 'huge scratch' in it that isn't there...- or read around the various Forums for a 'how to split your 7.x GB Install into 2 x 4 DVDs' articles (they'll be around - it's not gonna be hard to do)
as Kappy says:
1. get a good sized external HD and Install the system on it.
and then, either use Sys prefs-> startup disk to make it yr 'everyday' startup disk or, as YOU said, you can hold down 'Option' at startup' and choose between them. It's really that simple.
{It's also not such a bad idea: replacing a dud/wornout external on an iMac takes you and 30 seconds. Replacing an Internal takes an Apple dealer, delays and $$$. It's also the same equation adding extra HDs, more VRAM, switching to a bigger disk etc }.
Beautiful system - practically a work of Art - but working on it is like negotiating with an ex-wife.
As for a 'minimal Startup Disk', I've never really found it worth the effort - beyond using 'customise' and 'options' during the Install process to not install stuff you obviously don't need (and some which isn't obvious - e.g. there are some great free Apps you may want to use that won't work if you don't install the -misnamed - 'BSD Subsystem').
If you have some deep n abiding reason, there are ways of getting the system very small - like 'monolingual' (& similar) to remove unneeded Language resources inside Application 'Bundles' (see versiontracker etc. and read around the various Forums for these too).
You can get really tiny with some Apps which are just intended to install the real 'bare bones' and a couple of Disk fix/check/test/maintain routines & Apps but God knows what 'hidden' limits & traps are there....(Tech Tools is one that does this).
Disk space is cheap. Time is expensive as are mistakes. Why bother ?.
{By 'a bus-driven external drive ' I assume you mean Firewire, USB 2 or eSATA rather than running wires from the system Bus ?).

How can I copy my iPhoto library file to my other macs?

I have 4 Mac's and I've kept all my photos on one of them primarily. How can I find the iPhoto library file and copy it to the other Macs?

There are two apps that can do that for your.
1 - the better of the two is iPhoto Library Manager. You will have to manually select those Events in Library A that are not in Library B and copy them to B. Then do the same for B to A. This also copies both the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, descriptions, faces and places.
2 - the second app is SyncPhotos. This one is automatic and will copy the original images in A that are not in B into B and the same for B to A. This does not copy edited versions or any of the metadata, i.e. keywords, etc.

Duplicate Mountain Lion on others Mac from the one issuded of update programme

I baught a MBair that I have update to Mountain Lion from the update programm. Is it possible to duplicate it on my others Mac without paying a new licence?
Thanks for your response.
jldpolux

The OS X Mountain Lion software content code must be used solely with the products that qualify for this offer.
http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/
The update program is to provide a "free" update for a machine that was purchased a short period before Mountain Lion was introduced (or machines sold right at that time that still had Lion installed). The purpose is to basically let you get the most current version of the OS on your newly purchased system. It's not appropriate to use it on other systems as it is essentially considered the shipping version. Other people have to pay to upgrade their machines and it's no different in your case. If, after making the purchase, you had other machines to upgrade, you could do that for free.

How to download iphoto and other software for other macs from the liscensed version from a new mac

I purchased a macbook pro in Dec 2011 and was told I could download software from app store (ilife, OSX, etc) for up to two other macs based on the software liscense agreement. Can anybody tell me where to find instructions on how to do this? Thanks. TJW

You need to have accepted the iLife suit into your Mac App Store account from the Mac App Store app on your new Mac. Then you should be able to open the Mac App Store on the other Macs with at least Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and download the apps after signing into your account.
There is not a two Mac limit. You are able to download your Mac App Store apps on every Mac that you own or have in your control, which would include Macs issued to you by your emplyer or an educational institution.

How to update iphoto that was downloaded with old id with new id? my older id email does no longer exist :(

I downloaded iphoto years ago on my MBP but then changed my apple id a bit after, now that I need to update iphoto it asks for my older id bit i cant remember the questions and the email was does not exist anymore. what can I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset that account's security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Can't connect to other Macs from MBP

I have a 2.4 SR MBP that I cannot connect to other macs in our house including an 2.0 MBP and a Mac Pro. I can see them in the shared computers but they won't connect. I have all of the computers set up the exact same way on sharing. I'm even setting it up now that all users can connect. Any thoughts?

I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

Mac Pro gets kernel panic while trying to boot from Leopard install disk

Hi all,
I'm finally getting around to installing leopard on my 2006 Mac Pro. It has the x1900 video card from Apple and all firmware is up to date. The install disk upgraded my Macbook with no problems.
When booting I get the wipe to grey, kernel panic, "You must restart your Mac" screen. Any suggestions?
BTW the Leopard install disk installs OSX 10.5.0
Thanks
Pax

I finally found that the mac pro needs installer 10.5.2 or it will do the kernel panic thing. I did find a way around this though.
1) I took an external drive hooked to my macbook and installed 10.5 on it. Then booted from it and did all the updates, installed all my necessary software (ilife 08, parallels, and so on).
2) I then made sure my Mac pro's drive was currently backed up and then booted up from the backup and then used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the new OS 10.5.4 Leopard disk onto my Mac Pro boot drive.
3) After that I used migration assistant to transfer all my user settings and such.
It all worked great and I now have Leopard on my Mac Pro.
Just thought I'd let everyone know how I got around it.

Mac OS X Install Disk - MacBook Pro

I bought my laptop a few years ago. I have a Mac OS X Install DVD (version 10.5.6). I am currently running Mountain Lion.
I have tried to access the Apple Hardware Test software on the DVD, by pressing Option-D at startup. This does not work.
I also tried just pressing Option to get to the boot selection menu, selecting the DVD and then searching for the AHT, but there is no selection.
How can I run the Apple Hardware Test on this machine?:

Just D, no option. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509

HT3910 What if you no longer have the Mac OS X Install disk?

I'm reading article HT3910 regarding erasing and installing Snow Leopard, but I don't have the disc. Are there any other viable options for restoring the Macbook to original settings?

No there isn't, you need the disk to wipe the machine good.
Apple menu > about this Mac > more info for a model like MacBook Pro 3,1.
Download MacTracker and punch that in, find out the original OS X version that came on the machine.
If < 10.6.3, then call Apple via phone for the 10.6.3 white retail disks
If > 10.6.2 then call Apple via phone for the 10.6.3+ machine specific versions of the OS X install disks.
