Will iLife be deleted when I erase my hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and the Applications with the disks that came with the computer?

I plan to restore my computer to factory settings to have a fresh start but i dont know if all the ilife applications will still be there (imovie, iphoto, etc). Or is the ilife applications included in the Applications Install DVD?

Yes, they are, unless you have a machine which shipped with Mac OS X Server, in which case you wouldn't have them to begin with.

  • How do I keep programs such as Word when I wipe my hard drive to reinstall Snow Leopard?

    I am having serious issues with Lion. Even after the update, I lose WiFi, my mailbox crashes, Word crashes without saving a backup, and it has just been a very distasteful experience. I talked with Apple, and they couldn't help me resolve issues beyond telling me to bring it in or reinstall. I am choosing to reinstall Snow Leopard. I am going to wipe my hard drive clean and start over. Could someone tell me how to keep programs such as Office '11 though? I am currently at school and I didn't bring my Office software with me to reinstall, so how could I save it? I can't really do a time capsule since I am running Lion and I want to reinstall Snow Leopard.

    If you are going to wipe the disk then you will have to reinstall the software.
    You can't have your cake and eat it also.

  • If I do a full system restore on my MBP  will i get ilife off of the boot disks that came with the computer?

    If I do a full system restore on my MBP  will i get ilife off of the boot disks that came with the computer.
    Hi on my MBP i am going to restore it.
    It came with iLife will this be on the boot disks?
    Thanks

    If your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, that means it shipped with two disks: an Install disk that contains the OS, and an applications disk that contains the iLife suite. You would use the applications disk to reinstall iLife.

  • I want to sell my MBP. How do I completely erase my 2007, 17-inch Macbook Pro that is currently running Snow Leopard. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE BOX ANYMORE.

    I want to sell off my old MacBook Pro and do not want any of my old stuff on it for the next person to fool around with. I'd like a clean-slate for the next guy/gal. It's a 17-inch that I purchased back in '07. It is currently running Snow Leopard after I installed it myself about two years ago. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE LAPTOP IN THE BOX.

    No problem, stick in your 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk you used to upgrade from 10.4/10.5 with
    If you don't have this disk anymore, you can order one online at Apple.com for $29, they don't sell it in the physical stores.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Reboot holding the c or option key down to boot from the disk, select Disk Utility from under the Utilities menu on the second screen (first is language selection)
    Now select your boot drive on the left with the drive makers name and disk size and click Erase > Security Option > Zero All Data and click Erase
    It will take some time to complete as it's making sure all your personal data if not easily recoverable off the drive using software.
    Now quit and you will be back in the installer window, install 10.6 and it will reboot to the "Welcome Video" you can choose to press the power button down and do a hard shutdown, the computer will boot again to this video for the next owner.
    If you need even more security in your data deletion efforts I suggest you read this

  • How do you erase Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard

    I want to remove Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard.  I put the install disc in and clicked Install so that I could get to the disc utilities.  Got a reading that this version of OS X cannot be used on this computer.  I'm using a mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro.  I don't have any backups made, but I am not worried about that...I just want to go back to using Snow Leopard.  Lion has too many quirks I don't want to put up with.  Any suggestions?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • HT3910 How do I erase Mountain Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard?

    Can anyone help me erase Mountain Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard. When I had installed Mountain Lion,I discovered that my music notation program, Overture was not working with Mountain Lion. Please help me, years of work is for now lost.

    Back up your data files.
    Use the Snow Leopard installer disc to completely erase your hard drive and everything on it.
    Re-install the SL operating system, then all your applications, then your data files.
    If you happened to make a bootable backup clone of your hard drive before installing Mountail Lion then you can just clone the backup back to your drive.

  • HT3777 if i restore my macbook back to its factory settings with the grey install disk that came with my macbook, will this wipe out the bootcamp partition? (i don't want it to)

    i have asked this question a few times now, but i have not got the answer i was looking for:
    my macbook is currently on v10.6.8 (a snow leopard version)
    the factory settings of my macbook is v10.5.6 (a leopard version; i know that using the grey install disk that came with my macbook will restore my macbook back to this version)
    i know that by restoring my macbook to the factory settings, some apps will go (e.g. flash player 12, app store) and other apps will be downgraded (like itunes)
    but i am talking about BOOTCAMP. it isn't an app, it's a partition of my hard drive.
    my question is, will i still have the BOOTCAMP partition after i restore my macbook back to its factory settings? if so, will all the folders and files in BOOTCAMP still be there?

  • Can I delete maverick and reinstall snow leopard?

    Can I delete os maverick on MacBook Pro  and reinstall snow leopard?

    Yes you can. But in doing so you will need to wipe out the complete drive so you should first manually backup your user files to an external drive. That is copy all your personal files over to an external drive and not with Time Machine.

  • I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
    I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers.

  • Help! I deleted my System preferences by mistake! I'm absolutely positive they are gone. Unfortunately so are the disks that came with it. I'm using an Imac with os 10.4.11. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Help! I deleted my System preferences by mistake! I'm absolutely positive they are gone. I checked spotlight, blue apple and the hard drive, applications. Gone. Unfortunately so are the disks that came with it. I'm using an Imac with os 10.4.11. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try cleaning the disc, and be sure you have the right one.

  • Can't erase hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard (SuperDrive)..

    Running OS X 10.6.8
    2.13 GHz Intel 2
    2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    I have the original "gray discs" with Snow Leopard on them, and a SuperDrive. I would like to completely wipe the computer, and start over with just Snow Leopard. When I tried to do this yesterday following this tutorial, the whole process sort of froze at Part One, Step Three.
    For the lazy non-link-clickers, here's the instructions I followed:
    1. Turn on the computer.
    2. Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD into the optical drive.
    3. Press and hold the "C" key while the computer starts up. The computer will start up using the Install media.
    ....And that's as far as I got. The machine turned on, the DVD whirled and clicked, and the screen glowed gray for about 10 seconds. Then, it went black, and the DVD stopped whirring. Then that cycle repeated. Over and over and over and over. For over 24 hours.
    So, what is going on, here?

    Well, Kappy, you were right: my 2009 MBA came with Leopard, so those Snow Leopard gray discs I was using did not come with my machine.
    Unfortunately, I was unable to find the Leopard gray discs that must have come with the computer.
    So, I found a retail copy. And then I:
    1) Inserted the retail OS X 10.5 disc into the SuperDrive.
    2) Double-clicked "Install Mac OS X.app" in the DVD contents pop-up
    3) Clicked "Restart" when prompted by the installer.
    ....And that's as far as I got. Again, the machine turned off and then back on, the DVD whirled and clicked, and the screen glowed gray for about 10 seconds. Then, it went black again, and the DVD stopped whirring. Then that cycle repeated. Over and over and over and over... Again.
    Sigh. What is the deal.

  • Why can't I reinstall my iLife suite of apps on my Mac Mini after having reinstalled Snow Leopard OSX?

    Unfortunately my Mac Mini I use for audio production work and web design got slower and slower until one day it just gave up! I blame the internet for this, as before I started using the internet on this computer it was fine, nice and fast without any problems.
    I tried reinstalling just the OSX but that didn't work, so I ended up erasing the disk with a full 35-pass option which failed itself after the eleventh pass, but it had still done what I wanted and completely erased the hardisk, so I wasn't bothered. However, now in Utilities, it wasn't finding any hardisk!!! I powered off and thankfully this time the disk was showing and so I tried installing the OSX again and this time it worked!
    Next it was time to reinstall iLife that had come with the Mac Mini. No chance! Same error message every time to contact the software manufacturer!!! I've read on the communities that after 2012 this version of iLife apparently doesn't work. Is this true? If so then Apple is ripping customers off. Why should we have to keep upgrading all the time? As the old saying goes, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it!" If this is true that iLife won't work after 2012 then basically Apple is saying that its products are so crap that they won't work after a few years!! Surely not. I've also read in the communities that one person had to pay another $18 out for an iLife suite that works, what crap! Whatever came with the computer should work with the computer and not be limited to just a few years life and we shouldn't have to pay out for another disc when the original has be kept securely in its original packaging! I have an old Windows XP PC which is still going strong today and up until a year ago I had an old Windows 3.1 PC which was still working 22 years after purchase and I still had occasional tasks to carry out on it at DOS level!!
    So I'm beginning to wonder whether I should go back to PCs if Apple computers have such a limited lifespan.
    I look forward to your comments.

  • I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't remember it.  Is there anyway to gain access to my mac without reinstalling or deleting everything that's on it?  I don't have the disk that came with it either.

    Hi.  I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't recall what it is.  My hope is that I can somehow gain access without deleting everything currently on it.  I do not have the MAC disk that it came with.  Is there something I can do myself?  Should I take it to the MAC store?  Thanks in advance for your help. 

    It helps with this kind of question to state which system version you are using on the computer as the answer will vary.
    Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 - resetting password on regular and administrator accounts if you have the installer disc (OSX 10.1-10.6.8) or AppleID (OSX 10.7-10.8) [Of course Apple has changed this document since I asaved the link so it is no longer useful for newer system versions. ]

  • Used Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now, my macbook pro 13 mid 2009 will not boot back into OSX, there is no Bootcamp utilities like there should be anywhere to be found, and the DVD drive will not recognize the OSX install disk that came with my laptop.

    Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.

    Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine.  Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition).  When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk.  Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer.  Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

    Did you delete the receipts with iPhoto in the file name before reinstalling iPhoto?
    You 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,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disks it came on originally and apply the latest, applicable updates.
