Installing leopard on G5

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

Afraid you’re going to need to buy the new iLife. There is no upgrade option from iLife ’08 to iLife ‘09. The new iLife will replace the old iLife files.

Quicktime will also be replaced by the new version.

I’m not sure about AOL. You might look for an uninstall at their website.

Generally, if you have the application installer, you can see if it has an uninstall option. For those without an uninstaller, you can use an application like AppCleaner and when you drag an old app to the Trash, it will indicate related files and ask if you want to delete those also.

Welcome To  Discussions granitebp!

If you are going to continue to AOL this article How To Manually Uninstall/Reinstall AOL may be helpful.

If you are absolutely sure there is nothing of AOL you want to keep, such as "Favorites". "Address Book", or any saved Emails in your "Filing Cabinet", to purge your system of AOL, do the following:

Quit all applications. Trash the files & folders I have listed. Empty Trash. "Repair Permissions". At this point, it wouldn't hurt to restart, and "Repair Permissions" again. Then reset any necessary System Preferences.

The paths are in all capitals, and the files/folders are under the path, marked like this:
<AOL> (Application). See the first entry, as an example.

Path: HD > APPLICATIONS >
File or Folder: <AOL> (Application)

HD > APPLICATIONS > INSTALLERS >
<INSTALL AOL FOR MAC OS X>

HD > USERS > SHARED >
<America Online>

HD > USERS > HOME > DOCUMENTS >
<America Online> (Folder) If Present

HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > COOKIES >
<Cookies.plist> (File)

HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > LOGS > CRASH REPORTER >
<AOL.crash.log>

HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES >
<America Online> (Folder)
<com.aol.aol.plist> (File)
<AOL for OS X Backup Installer> (Application)

Although you may have to reset some of your connection preferences, for other browsers, to ensure there are no AOL prefs lurking about, trash these files, if present:

HD > USERS > HOME > LIBRARY > PREFERENCES >
<com.apple.internetconfig.plist> (File)
<com.apple.internetconnect.plist> (File)
<com.apple.internetpref.plist> (File)

SYSTEM PREFERENCE SETTINGS:
System Preferences > Print & Fax > Faxing
If you have AOL mail set in the Email feature of Apple Fax, don't forget to change it to
your present mail program.

System Preferences > Network
Make sure AOL is not selected in: "Location".

That should do it!

You need to go to your Application folder and drag and drop the versions of stuff you don't want into the trash and empty it.

There are some settings files and prefs files, but if you are a new user I'd not worry about them right now. They are usually very small files and probably (highly probably) NOT conflict with new applications.

Good luck. 🙂

If you download the free application AppCleaner, as I mentioned, it will find the related settings and preferences files and ask if you want to delete those when you drag the old Garageband application(s) to the Trash. I thought iLife would overwrite Garageband also, but I don't use Garageband, so I couldn't be sure about that one.
