Aug 2, 2012 9:31 PM in response to lekshayby Kenichi Watanabe,A more recent version may work on your iMac G5 (depending on OS version, RAM, and CPU speed). Take a look at these system requirements for iLife.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2675 <- iLife 06
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1010 <- iLife 08
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3876 <- iLife 09
If you search Amazon on "ilife old version," there are listings for older versions.

Aug 3, 2012 7:28 AM in response to Kenichi Watanabeby lekshay,Hey thanks, how do I know that my iMac G5 has iMovie HD 6 requires Quartz Extreme-compatible graphics cards ??
all other requirements are OK for iLife 06,, but I am thinking for iLife 05

Aug 3, 2012 12:27 PM in response to lekshayby Kenichi Watanabe,This update document for iMovie HD 6 has more details and says that a G5 Mac is compatible
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovie_HD_6_0_3
and if you are running Leopard (10.5), you must meet the RAM requirement.
Also, "Quartz Extreme is required for iMovie motion themes, real-time effects, and the Ken Burns Effect." That means those particular features require Quartz Extreme to be enabled.
This article explains how to tell of if your Mac is using Quartz Extreme.

I don't understand the question...
A version of iLife came bundled with your iMac, pre-installed and on one of the gray discs. But Apple also sold the iLife suite separately, so that people with Macs meeting system requirements could upgrade to a newer version when they were released.

Aug 7, 2012 1:58 PM in response to lekshayby Kenichi Watanabe,I would try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and if that does not help, follow this procedure to reset SMU (power management)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
If that does not help either, see if you can start up in Safe Mode

Aug 7, 2012 9:56 PM in response to lekshayby Kenichi Watanabe,You can test to see if this is a general problem related to hardware, or something that is related to your current system. Since the occurrence coincided with installing software, it seems more likely that the problem is the system, not hardware.
Insert your Mac OS X installation disc for the currently installed release, so I guess that would be Leopard. Start up with the C key held down, to force startup from the optical drive. If that gets you to the Installer screen, then your hardware is probably OK, and there is a problem with your current system on the hard drive. It is possible that there is a hardware problem on the hard drive, which is causing the problem with the system.
From the Installer screen, go up to the menu bar. Under Utilities, run Disk Utility. Select the internal hard drive volume (usually "Macintosh HD") in the sidebar (assuming it appears there), and go the First Aid tab. Run Verify Disk to see if any data corruption errors are reported. If there are errors, you can try running Repair Disk.
If errors are found that Repair Disk fixes successfully, you are quit Disk Utility and try starting up normally, to see if there is improvement.
