[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1349208"] If you're actually running 10.5.8 on an 11-12 year old machine, then first of all may I say congratulations! If you can find a LEGAL (let me repeat that, LEGAL) ie retail DVD of iLife 06, that should work. Anything newer will definitely not work. Do not go with any "download" of iLife 06, this is a frequent source of malware and is of course illegal. I appreciate that you're a student (believe me I know all about tight budgets!) but other than the solution above, you're really going to need to move up to a newer machine (one made this century) before much longer. It doesn't have to be brand new but a lot newER than the one you've got. As you're currently using a PowerMac I'd suggest you look for a good deal on an Intel Mac mini (2007 or later). You can retain your monitor, mouse and keyboard and should be able to find one for not a lot more than your present budget.
