Updating to 10.4.7 messed up iLife

Ok so keep this in mind, my friend (not me) updated his Mac to 10.4.7 and now his iLife isn't working (imovie, iphoto, idvd).
I don't have any first hand experience with his problem so I can't explain more or be more specific.
Sorry.
I would like people to suggest what the problem could be and what the solution could be.

Tell your friend to go to apple.com/support/downloads, and get the proper 10.4.7 combo ppc update, and reinstall it.

  • Updating from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08

    1. If I update from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08 am I going to lose all my Albums?
    2. When I export an album to a desktop file to burn it to a disk readable by TVs etc, the photos don't appear in the order that they are in the album. What have I done wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. If I update from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08 am I going to lose all my Albums?
    No. But always back up prior to an update. However your library will be fine and exactly as you expect.
    2. When I export an album to a desktop file to burn it to a disk readable by TVs etc, the photos don't appear in the order that they are in the album. What have I done wrong?
    How did you layout the album? Drag the pics into order, for instance? The Finder, which decides the order when you export works on a strictly alpha-numeric basis. The trick is to title the pics in iPhoto and use those titles as filenames on export. I iPhoto 08 this is done in the File -> Export dialogue. I'm not sure how this is done in v4.

  • Imovie HD update 6.0.4 not installing 'install ilife 08 first'

    I am trying to install the update to imovie 6.0.4. Currently i have 6.0.3.
    Ilife 08 is installed on my mac.
    Yet when i try to open the imovieHD installer, i get message:
    'ilife HD cannot be installed on this system. please install life 08 first'
    Yet it IS already installed. I can open all the applications, imovie, garageband, iphoto etc, and they are all up to date.
    Ilife 08 came installed on my macbook pro.
    This doesn't sound like a problem that would be solved by trashing the prefs file.
    And that's my only idea.
    Any ideas? Anybody else experience this problem?
    thanks!

    I am trying to install the update to imovie 6.0.4. Currently i have 6.0.3.
    As far as I know, the only distinction between the two versions is where they came from. iMovie 6.0.4 is for those who acquired a late-model Intel Mac with iLife '08 and did not have the earlier iLife '06 package.
    If iMovie 6.0.4 were an actual update to iMovie 6.0.3, then it would have been available and installed from Software Update like any other valid incremental update.

  • Updated my firefox and it messed up my emai with knology, what to do?

    Among other changes, I can no longer used the advanced version of e-mail, only the simple version. I receive this message when trying to log-in: "Remote XUL-This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." When we contacted knology, we were told to contact Firefox.

    Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
    1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
    Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
    2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
    3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
    4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
    5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
    Then repeat step 4.
    6. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
    7. Launch iTunes and select
    Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
    from the menu bar.
    8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
    9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

  • Will updating to Leopard cause me to loose iLife 08??

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone can tell me whether I'll loose my version of iLife 08 if I purchase leopard? I recently bought a Macbook Pro that came with an installed version of iLife 08, and I don't want to loose it! I remember on my old Powerbook G4 when I updated to tiger I lost my version of iLife....
    So basically If my question is if I go out and buy Leopard, insert the disk, upload it, will I find I no longer have iLife??
    Can anyone help me with this?

    No. Please search the discussions before posting. This question has been asked over and over again. Only if you do an erase and install will you lose iLife...and the rest of your software.

  • HT4623 My phone needs the latest up date and it won't let me update. My phone keeps messing up, then I turn it off to reset on and all my contacts get deleted. And some of my apps don't work.

    Please send me last update.

    If you have iOS 6.1.3 you have the lastest update.  Try restoring your iPhone that could solve your problems.  Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • New Update 10.3.1 has messed up My Blackberry Z10

    hi, im trying to find a way to fix my Z10, i just updated to the new OS yesterday and I am so frustrated I'm about to just give up on smartphones, i really dont need it anymore and Blackberry is so far behind it is unreal!  so since the update when i unlock my phone it will automatically zoom in..then its almost impossible to get it to zoom back out to the correct size to type or view anything. Also the sides of my touchscreen arnt working properly.. i can use the back key during texts... i have to use the "M" key then slide my finger over to hit backspace. This is my first and my last BLACKBERRY.. no aps have ever worked that i wanted ..anyway how can i switch back to my old OS? or what do i have to do to fix this? im going to end up just getting an iphone.. so if i dont find a fix.. im making a video and smashing my phone.. thanks for all the bullcrap!

    yes there is a current bug that makes the Picture Password not practical when the magnifying glass is activated. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

  • HT201364 i have updated to mavericks but still cant download ilife for free ?

    how do i download ilife / iworks for free i was told i could but apparently i cant ?

    If you had the last version of either suite (iLife '11 for example) of apps you can upgrade them for free.
    If you have older versions you'll need to purchase the newest ones.

  • WebOS update 3.0.4 has messed up my TP!

    I am pretty new  to the TP, but I was very  happy with  it until... They released the last update. Now there is huge last with almost everything I do now. (even typing  has a half to full second last after every key stroke. NO app sounds seem to work anymore, (simple clock, sleep sounds by RockY something, my card game, and even music player all no longer have sound, but web based stuff, like YouTube, or websites with sounds play, (although cuts in & out). Suggestions? Love this little thing and  want to get it working right again. Thanks!
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    When I first installed the 3.0.4 update, things did not work properly, (slow and had random bugs)
    I had to use the webos doctor to fix it.

  • Does updating new version of itunes mess up music in my existing version?

    I keep getting the option to download the new i tunes. Will this affect my existing library,etc?

    Upgrading will normally not affect the tracks and settings already in your iTunes.
    That said, it's wise to make a backup of any tracks that you've purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace and of your playlists before you upgrade, just in case something would happen to go wrong.

  • ILife gone after ML Update

    I bought a Macbook Air recently , came pre-installed with Lion with iLife.
    As apple gave me free upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion , I updated sucessfully , wiping my SSD.
    Now iLife is missing , and says $19.9 in the app store. What to do now ?

    In the App Store try clicking on Purchases while holding down the option key. When you bought your mac iLife was pre-installed? Didn't you have to download from the App Store? Where did you buy your mac?

  • RAW update for users who don't own Aperture & iLife? (GH2)

    As far as I can tell, Apple's new RAW file compatibility update requires the latest Aperture or iLife. I don't own either of these apps. The update will not install unless these apps are installed first.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1339
    However, I want to access & open RAW still images from my new Panasonic DMC-GH2 camera in the Finder, QuickLook and Preview.
    My question is: Does Apple have a version of the RAW compatibility update that be installed without Aperture or iLife?
    Note: I am not describing the issue discussed in this Apple tech note. It addresses a different issue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3614

    Thanks for that tip!
    Just an FYI: As I posted earlier, I've owned a GH2 since mid-Dec. 2010, and haven't been able to display or edit its RAW files in the Finder, Preview or iPhoto 8.x, and as we all know, Apple's RAW compatibility update 3.5 -- which was supposed to support the GH2 -- didn't work.
    Today I tried installing the new RAW compatibility update 3.6, but it wouldn't install because I don't have iPhoto v.9 or higher.
    Thanks to your suggestion, I then installed Apple's free Aperture trial version. I don't actually want to use the app, I only installed it so I could get the RAW compat. updater 3.6 to install.
    I then ran Software Update from the Apple menu, and it noticed I had the Aperture trial installed, so it asked to download & install the latest Aperture update and the latest RAW compat. update. I opted to download & install only the RAW compat. update 3.6.
    Having done all that, my GH2 RAW files now seem to be correctly displayed in the Finder, Preview, & iPhoto v.8.x, and I can edit them in Preview & iPhoto.
    Apple: While I'm glad this is finally working, it's been a real drag having to wait more than 2 months to get to this point. Cheers.

  • IWork Updates but Not iLife

    The App Store sees my installed Keynote, Pages and Numbers and displays an update icon.
    Not so for the iLife apps. My installed version is iLife 09.
    Both suites were disk installs.
    I've read other threads where users are successful in getting the update option…and others, not so much. Unless I've missed it the Apple published info doesn't seem to address previously purchased apps outside the Apple Store.
    What are people's thoughts (theories) about why it works for some and not others.
    While it's not a large amount of $, I hate to waste it if there is a free solution. (And I'm very keen to try the new iMovie.)
    Russ

    Well, Garageband is free period.
    II would be nice but I don't think you'll have any luck with Apple Support. Check this out.
