Will Leopard Allow The Installation of iLife 06 & Other Issues?

Hello
I have several Power Macs, and several PC's. I may be old fashioned, but I believe, if it works, don't fix it. I've been very happy with Tiger. And I've always read that some older software programs will not install in Leopard. Call this 'Free-Enterprise' if you'd like. I call it an expensive major pain in the A**
It's pretty certain by now that iMovie 08 is a far cry than what it was. And with Leopard, there are many other issues that prevent Tiger users from sharing certain files. Quick Time files for one, (unless it's a codec issue).
I use Final Cut 2 Studio, (currently installed in Tiger 10.4.11). I suppose I'll have incompatibility sharing issues with my friend who uses Final Cut 2 Studio within a Leopard environment.
But anyway, (sorry for getting on a soap box), I suppose iLife 06 will not install in Leopard is that correct?
Thanx
Mike

But anyway, (sorry for getting on a soap box), I suppose iLife 06 will not install in Leopard is that correct?
No, that's not correct. iLife '06 will not only install under Leopard (I have no idea why you would think it would not) but it also works in Leopard.
Leopard has nothing to do with whether software installers will work unless the developer has programmed the installer to check on system versions in order to alert the user that the software is incompatible. It's true that some applications are not compatible with Leopard. But by now developers have released compatible versions or upgrades. There are a few stragglers that can't seem to get their act together. Primarily these are in the MIDI business.
I don't know why you think Leopard prevents sharing files.
In any event if you require certain software and/or hardware for your work, then do not upgrade OS X until every component you use is known to be fully compatible with the new version. This is true of any OS X version. Upgrading your operating system should only be done if the new version provides features and benefits that are essential to your work. And then only if the software and hardware you require will be fully compatible with the new version.
There's nothing wrong with being "old-fashioned." But it's important not to be behind the curve. If you can't do what your competitors can, then you're no longer "old-fashioned", you're "old news."

  • Creation of backup DVD's since you will not allow the installation DVD to be used.

    I now understand that you refuse to let me use the installation /back up DVD as an installation / back up DVD and insist that I make my own back up DVD’s. I have gone through the usual nightmare trying to find your instructions and can find none. 
    How do I go through the excess steps to create back up DVD’s for Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements that you will not allow the installation/backup DVD to be used for?
    I bought DVD's to be spared this nightmare.

    The chat folks got the Premiere Elements installed with a herculean effort including downloading off the Internet.  The Photoshop Elements installed fine.
    My request was based on the legal agreement.  It read to me like I had to save the application from the hard drive to a DVD to get a back up copy made and that that was the only way I was allowed to do it.
    The chat folks, based on the severe problem I had installing Premiere, are mailing me a replacement DVD to use as a backup which is the sort of media I would expect.  I guess the legal language as I read it deviates from the normal situation.
    Thank you for the follow up.

  • Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of Flash Player 17 Update

    Windows 7 internet security will not allow the installation of the Flash Player 17 update.  I have tried the direct install using the IE_AX update without success.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the screenshot.  It's very helpful. Essentially, this is an issue with the internet security settings on your machine (Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Security), and not a Flash Player issue.  I Googled "internet security settings prevented one or more files from opening' and it returned numerous hits.  I'm posting a few for you, however, I'm not endorsing any of them.  I recommend you search your self and select one you feel comfortable with.

    I have not used Internet explorer since downloading firefox and I need IE for a trading platform that I need to use.

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 7580 similar to the 8600 you have and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it wouldn't work. HP support site said download updates for Mountain Lion from App Store not their site so I went to software update but there were NO UPDATES FOR 10.8.  Tried a million things and could not get printer to work.  So I restored back to Lion figuring at least printer worked then only now I can't get it to work with old settings either. I am sick to death of claims by Apple and peripheral manufacturers that everything is compatible all you have to do is get updates well in this case THERE ARE NONE TO BE GOT and I don't have time to **** about trying to find 'work arounds'.  There shouldnt be a need for work-arounds. Unless the updates are ready DONT release the new OS.  You shouldn't have to be an IT tech to make basic things like printing work.  I see also the HP 8600 is even sold by appstore so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with minimum fuss.

  • Our IT Director will not allow the appropriate TCP and UDP ports to be opened on the district WAN

    I have about 30 Apple TV Units and our IT Director will not allow the appropriate TCP and UDP ports to be opened on the district WAN.  When our teachers try to log on to Apple TV to broadcast lessons, websites, etc., they are booted off the network after about 20 minutes. 
    Any ideas for how I might solve this without having to hard-wire the Apple TV Units?

    Honestly, you do not.
    Either the IT director will cave and allow the appropriate ports or it doesn't work.
    Hard wiring the ATVs will not rectify the problem.

    Hello, GwladysPa. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I believe that the iTunes update is requesting your computer's administrator password to update the application.  Here is the article that explains this process.

  • Firefox will not complete the installation even after several attempts of rebooting the computer.

    I downloaded the Firefox 9.0.1 upgrade but it will not complete the installation on my computer. Everytime I try to remove the program, it tells me to reboot the computer to finish the installation. After several reboots, the same error keeps coming up.

    Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click firefox.exe: Run as Administrator).
    If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Although my apple ipod is 4g it seems to quit accepting the cd's I am trying to download and now will not allow the remaining 2.5gb available on my ipod.
    Can anybody out there give me any clues as to why my apple ipod won't allow my remaining 2.5 gb of ipod space to download anymore of my cd's.  I am using Itunes library which also doesn't seem to accept the cd's even though they are legitimate in every way and are not homemade.

    I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there.

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.
