Missing My iLife ’08
Posted 02/15/2008 at 11:02:03am | by Scott Rose

I own a MacBook, which I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard. I thought that iLife ‘08 would be part of the Leopard upgrade, but I can’t find the new iLife programs anywhere.

 

Apple includes the latest version of iLife for free with the purchase of any new Mac. But once you already own a Mac, future upgrades to the operating system and iLife are independent from one another. So if you’d like to upgrade a MacBook running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger and iLife ’06 to Mac OS 10.5 Leopard and iLife ’08, you would have to purchase both Leopard ($129, www.apple.com) and iLife ’08 ($79).

avatarIt use to come with OS X.

It use to come with OS X. When I bought Panther it came with the most up to date iLife, I think after that they stopped selling them together.

avatarNews? Nope

No this isn't news. You had to pay for iLife for, what? Years? Who's this guy and why are you giving him a soapbox? Is he a new staff guy?

avatarYou get what you pay for

You paid for iLife '06*. You got iLife '06. If you upgrade your OS, you still got iLife '06.

*whether you wanted it or not most likely, but that's a completely different story.

avatarI think he meant to ask how

I think he meant to ask how he could get back the iLife version installed with his previous system. There is a way to get it but I don't know if it is legal.

Did you reformat at the same time? I upgraded and had no problem.

avatar$30 iLife 08 discount for .Mac members.

There is a $30 discount off of iLife 08 for .Mac members bringing the price down to $49. Don't know if that helps but it's better than nothing! I'm still waiting for that new MacBook Pro!
