The installation failed ilife 11

When you get the Installation Failed notice, look carefully at that window - in the upper righthand corner, there's a nondescript little symbol - I cant tell what it's supposed to be, but when I clicked on it, that brought up a notice saying that the software certificate "issued by: Apple Software Update Certification Authority" So basically it looks like Apple locks it out after five years I bought it a year ago, not five years ago, as a add-on for my children.

By the way, I wondered if the installer gets on the internet with Apple during the installation to confirm eligibility or something, so I tried installing again with the internet offline.

Same result - installation failed. I will be very unhappy with Apple if it is really the case that this program lasted us less than one year. I had to reformat this Mac because of some system-level corruption my young son caused, and I should not have to repurchase iLife because it is one year old.

Let's see what happens Apr 2, PM. Following the example above, I decided to attempt a few screen shots - hopefully this will load The images are only kb - nothing of any consequence, but somehow the site thinks that's larger than their 2mB limit and won't allow me to share these. Thank you, Roddy.

OK, having done that, let's see what happens now. Apple is scheduled to call me in the morning about this Note the little icon at the upper-right, the one with the tiny blue frame and the yellow inside -- click on that, and then this below is what comes up Initially there are no details, you have to click on that little arrow there to get the text to drop down. You can tell by the slider that there's quite a lot of legalese.

I've been a Mac user since and I have never before heard anything about a certificate expiring in the context of reinstalling any Apple software. That reminds me - I read through the legal agreement at the beginning of the install process - there's nothing in it about this software having an expiration date or any time limit for reinstallations. Then i thought i update my macbook pro 13" firmware.

Save the image and if it completes properly, open it to mount it and try installing iLife from there. If you get problems with creating the image on your computer, the problem may be with your drive's ability to read that disc, and another drive might be successful.

Try creating the image on another OS X system and either copy it to your current computer to mount directly, or try reburning it to another blank DVD using Disk Utility. While burning has been greatly perfected over the years, one way to reduce the probability of burning errors is to reduce the burn speed for the disc.

Besides Disk Utility, you can also try a third-party burning utility like Roxio Toast Titanium , which uses a separate reading and verification routine than Disk Utility, and may give better results when imaging or burning the DVD.

Insert the disK on the ilife ; then choose the one which you put in the trash. There were errors with the installation Install iLife. You may want to try installing Again. The installation failed. Contact the software manufacturer For assistance. Can someone help me with this error message? There were errors with the installation Install iLife On problems like this, you have a few things to clarify.

About andrea It seems that you did 3 then 2? Timing is everything. Is it just me or what — I do not see any instructions. Just the title of your post and then a blank pager. Did you take them down??? How do I to revert back to iphoto 09…. I reinstalled it but when I press iphoto it still opens the 11 version? Please help…. Reverting back to iPhoto 9 is possible, but not as straight forward as it may sound. Taking your advice on waiting for the official Apple fix early in the article I downloaded it.

Just wanted to provide an additional fix. I had 2 libraries I use multiples to break up the libraries that I tried to open before the above fix — yes, they were corrupted and would not open at all. OMG — you guys are so smart! Does that make sense? I experienced same problems, and the solution worked, thank you.

The damaged library had a few photos which were imported after my last backup, and I was able to extract those photos without problem… which leads me to wonder if the damage caused by the faulty upgrade process was just to the directories rather than to the photos themselves.

Its still bad, those directors contain the product of countless hours of my work organizing, tagging, and re-ordering my photos! Yesterday I tried the upgrade to iPhoto 9. Luckily I ran into this blog and let BatchMod do its work, without replacing the iPhoto Library first with a time machine back up. And it worked just like that. I have asked the Apple service and he said i should to reinstall my Macbook, sounds so creepy for me.

So, freind can you help me? It is 9. Thank you ever so much! It said the iPhoto Library database need updating to be able to view the pics so I pressed yes. I updated iPhoto and the problem still existed. Luckily I saved my original library until I read this post!

The Permissions utility fixed it, I now have all my places and Faces back. Way better than re-importing from your originals folder. Not to mention all the photos iPhoto deleted on me.

I had only planned to upgrade the computer to Snow Leopard, but the Apple employee said I might have trouble with iPhoto since I was going through 2 upgrades. Now, every time I try to load pictures from the digital, the little wheel spins and spins and says iPhoto is not responding. I was better off with the old version. I am not computer literate enough to understand any of what you guys are saying. Phew — all I can say is thank you so much. I had a slightly different problem, but used your solution to fix it.

I had upgraded to iphoto11 a few months back and was having no problems. Just a few weeks ago, however, I could not get past the spinning beach ball when opening it up. I had no access to my photos. I used Batchmod to fix the permissions of my library. Now iphoto works again. When I open Picassa, however, I see them all. Is it possible that by doing something wrong I messed the whole thing up? Of course every time I try and re-do it I use the library backup not the one converted by iPhoto.

Add me to the list of folks this helped. I figured it was a permissions issue, but because of the nature of the iPhoto Library, Apple has made it particularly hard to repair the permissions. Thanks SO much! I had rebuilt my library twice and was about to prepare myself to resort and tag 10, plus photos all over again.

Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this web site. Studying this information So i? I most certainly will make sure to do not omit this site and provides it a look on a relentless basis.

Hi Henry, Thanks for your work to help people out on this iPhoto-upgrade nightmare. My experience with your solution was not successful however. I changed permissions with BatchMod on an untouched iPhoto 8. Activity Monitor did not reveal any real action afterwards. Better still, it continuously provided me with feedback on what was going on, showing the pictures being imported in iPhoto. Thus, in my view iPhoto Library Manager provides a very good alternative to your solution.

All the best Bram Bos Netherlands. When I updated iPhoto to iPhoto 9. The iMac is used in a shop so I let the update continue in the background black iPhoto-window with white spinning stripes thinking it would certainly be finished the next day.

But the next day I open the iPhoto Library it wants to update again and is spinning again for a long time. I tried the permissions-fix with BatChmod on a Library from backup but result was the same. I installed the new 9. It worked beautifully.
