I bought a Dual 2GHz G5 and it had OS 10.2.7 on it and it had the iLife suite. Well I bought Panther and did a clean install and now iDVD is gone. I have done searches on getting it back but cannot find anything. My G5 came with one DVD Restore disk. Is there anyway to extract iDVD from it??
Thanks

If you put in the restore disc you should have the option of installing the extra applications (such as iDVD) that your computer came with.

I tried that and it doesn't show iDVD as one of the programs to reinstall. It shows the others but not iDVD.

Hi
1) Insert your Restore DVD
2) Run the Restore application
- This may place an actual System Restore app in /Applications/Utilities
3) Run the System Restore app. Before actually restoring anything it should give you five choices. Restore All, Applications, Developer Tools, iDVD, and Mac OS 9
4) Just check iDVD and continue with the Restore
That's what I did with my Ti and it worked for me.

same here, if you had iDVD with your computer it is bound to be on the software restore cd

Ok I tried it and still nothing. I put in the Restore CD. I tried it two ways. There was Install Mac OS X icon and a Applications Package Installer. I Tried the OS X one and it never gave me a option for the type of install and also with the Applications one it shows Itunes, isync and a few others but not iDVD.

I have a dual G5 and I'm about 99.99998% positive that iDVD is on the Software Restore disc. You have to actually start the restore process, but it should then be there. I'll double-check tonight, but I'm pretty sure this is how I got it back after an erase and install.

The Mac OS X install CD is NOT the Software Restore CD.
Make sure you are using the disc labeled Softare Restore, not the disc labeled OS X Install.

Hi
OK...I finally went through the whole thing again to make sure I knew what the heck I was speaking about.
1) Insert the DVD that says Power Mac G5 (<--or otherwise the model of your SuperDrive equipped computer) Software Install and Restore
2) It may auto-launch. In my case there are three things you see on the DVD. There are more items but WAY at the bottom. There is a Read This First (PDF), an Install Mac OS X (Application alias), and an Install Applications & Mac OS 9 (Package alias).
3) Launch the Install Applications & Mac OS 9 package
4) Go through all of the steps...Once you are finished and click Close the Software Restore app should auto-launch and all of your background apps will hide, including the Menu Bar. if not, it is located in /Applications/Utilities and called Software Restore.
5) In the Restore Software, click Continue and enter your password
6) Uncheck Restore All, Applications, Developer Tools, and Mac OS 9
7) Make sure iDVD is still checked
8) Click Continue and finish the rest of the steps

Ok you guys are awesome. I finally got it installed. Thanks a million.

would this work under OS x 10.2? I can't really go experiment freely, being that the computer in question is not mine, but I'll do the best I can.
