How can I reinstall iLife 09?

I purchased a Macbook Pro in the early fall of 2009. Everything came pre-installed, including iLife 2009. My hard drive crashed and when I took it into the Genius bar, a few weeks later when I received it, I realized they had only installed iLife 2008. I took it in to the Genius Bar again because I could not find my software anywhere, and they reinstalled only iPhoto 09 and told me I could find the rest of iLife on my discs that came with my Mac when I found them.

Well, now I need some of the other iLife products and though I did find my discs, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I cannot find the software on any of them. I have my Mac OS X Install disc and my Applications install disc, and NO version of iLife are on these discs (that I can find). Any help would be much appreciated! I'm pretty sure I'm just overlooking it, but this has become terribly frustrating and I can't find any answers elsewhere...

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Kappy,

I checked this same bundled installer earlier, it is not listed here. Under the optional installs for Applications, there is:
-Address Book
-iCal
-iChat
-iTunes
-Mail
-Oxford Dictionaries
-Safari
-X11
(These are also the same applications on the "Application" disc that came in addition to the Install disc)

In addition to these applications there is: iPod Support, Additional Fonts, Language Translations, and Printer Drivers.

No sign of iLife....

Hi,

With Macs that came bundled with 10.5.5 or later (such as your Mac) installation of the iLife suite of applications is slightly different. Step by step instructions can be found here:

Just scroll down to the _Installing Bundled applications such as iLife (via Applications Install DVD)_ section.
