Hello, i barely use my CD-Drive and i bought Leopard and was really happy, but when i inserted the disk, the disk came back out. I tried to put a disk in a week ago and it did the same thing. Can anyone help fix this? I really want Leopard installed.

Can you boot from the system restore disc that shipped with your Mac?
If not, I suspect a hardware problem. Try cleaning the lens in your optical drive.

I tried. But no help at all. I think its the CD-DRIVE. I will be calling Apple Care tomorrow morning. Once i get in touch with them. It accepts the disc then it makes a noise like its reading it, then it ejects out couple seconds after.

Check the DVD for scratches or an oily film, which some had.
If the DVD is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft damp cloth in a radial direction, center to outer edge - never in a circular manner! Then let it air dry.
See if this helps.

10.4.11 is not Leopard. You are still on Tiger if that's what you are running.
iLife is not bundled with OS X. It is only bundled with new Apple computers, or it is available as a separate purchase.

There is a software application called Pacifist, it allows you to take what you want from the install disk, in your case GarageBand and iLife 06. I have used it a few times, easy to use;
