Q: installing 10.5 with broken cd drive
Hi! I have an iMac G5 20in that I bought used recently. I really want to update to 10.5, but my cd drive is broken. Can someone help, I need it for a school project. I need it to be able to run a newer version of iMovie and GarageBand. I also need a newer version of iWork. Thank you so much!
iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Do you have a Leopard (10.5.x) installation disc, even if the Mac's optical drive is broken? Do you have access to another Mac, that has a working optical drive?
iLife (with iMovie and GarageBand) was a separately sold software package. So was iWork. You'll also need those installation discs.
