Hi Steven ( and all) Yes, Bob's on the right track. Even though you may a separate Tiger Disk, you'll need to go back to the original disks that came with the computer. On these you'll find an installer called (and I'm working from memory here), something like "Install Additional Software". It will go through and install a small "Restore" Application in the Utilities folder, which will then let you install the other iLife apps.
That should get you back to where you were. :o) Hope that helps! Good luck. Kind Regards Daniel On 6/05/2007 11:39 AM, "Steven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In May 2004 I bought a 17² G4 PowerBook.
