You're right Ronni, it did come with 10.3 installed, however when I
use the
install disk, the process forces me to select an option to create a
Previous
System folder. You can then go on to select, say, just iMovie via a
Custom
Install, however you still have to install the necessary basic system
software. Which I presume will take me from Tiger back to Panther, and I
don't think I can be bothered going through the whole Tiger
reinstallation,
and downloading a swag of updates since I bought the Tiger DVD.
Happy to hear of any easier way to just install iMovie, otherwise I
think
I'll just give it a miss and wait for Leopard :-)

So what happens if you use " Pacifist " to open the Instal package
on your instal disk
and extract iMovie .... can you instal the extracted file ?
Try Pacifist with your Tiger disks ?

Hi Steven,
Your G4 PowerBook probably came with OSX10.3.3 installed.
You should be able to just install iMovie4, iPhoto4 & iTunes from the
Mac OSX10.3.3 install disc.
GarageBand & iDVD4 were on the Restore Disc (which you have
reinstalled).
After reinstalling these applications be sure to run 'Software
Update' to ensure that available updates to these applications are
applied.
Cheers,
Ronni

Oops, I celebrated prematurely.
I now realise I need iMovie installed as well. Trouble is, it seems
that
iMovie is not a separate application to re-install (as is iDVD,
GarageBand),
but forms part of MacOSX as it came with my PowerBook. To obtain
iMovie
again, do I have a choice other than to do a whole system
reinstallation?
:-(
Cheers, Steven

Thanks Bob and Daniel - I did go hunting after Bob's prompt, found
disks
pretty much in line with what Daniel has said (ie. two reinstall
disks that
came with my PowerBook, there were no other disks with the Tiger
OS I
purchased separately later), and now have iDVD back on my machine.
Cheers, Steven

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

In May 2004 I bought a 17² G4 PowerBook. I can¹t remember what
OS it had
installed at time of purchase, but I think I subsequently bought
Tiger 10.4
- I have the installation disk for it anyway. The PowerBook
currently runs
10.4.9.
In about March 06 my hard disk crashed. I took the PowerBook in
for
replacement hard disk, and the Apple repair shop reinstalled
OSX, I think
from their own resources. I can't recall the reason now, but
iDVD, iPhoto,
wasn't installed. I inquired with the repair shop and I think
they said that
I'd have to install those items from the original installation
disk. I've
never bothered to do that until now, just haven't needed them,
but now I
have a reason to use iDVD, so have pulled out the installation
disk.
My problem is that I can't find anything on the installation
disk that looks
like a standalone installation of iDVD. If I click the 'Install
Mac OS X'
icon, I'm asked to restart. I have followed the restart process,
but it
doesn't seem to lead to a point that I can just install iDVD or
iLife
without impacting on the system.
Anyone have any hints please?
Many thanks, Steven
