Comes with ilife '11???

just received a brand new base model mac mini.
only thing is, I ordered it from Amazon.com in order to save a chunk of $$ on tax.
But now I'm concerned that it didn't come with the **latest version of ilife modules.
Instead of seeing "ilife 11" on things, I'm seeing "ilife '09."
What's up with this? Am I supposed to get ilife '11 regardless of who I buy the mini from, or is that just the way the cookie crumbles?

Ok....
I'm a reasonable person.
On the one hand this *makes sense. A boxed unit sitting on a shelf form some time back is not going to have latest/greatest.
On the other hand,
Apple advertises that as of a certain date/line-in-the-sand.....new units come with newer software. So seems incumbent upon them to upgrade new units bought *after that date/line-in-the-sand.
Wondering if this is worth a call to the apple mothership...

  • Mac didn't come with iLife!

    I just bought my MacBook Pro on Sunday from Virgin Megastores and it didn't come with iLife and I did my research and it says that it should have come with it! What should I do? Should I take it back and tell them that it didn't come with it? Because now it's making me pay for each of them and they're really expensive!

    If Virgin promised to include what used to be the iLife apps, they should have given you a code which you then enter in the App Store to download and install the apps free of charge. So, you might want to contact them again, indeed.

  • I got my new macbook pro 2012 but there's no idvd it should come with ilife but i didn't found it how could i install it

    i got my new macbook pro  os x version 10.7.4 processor 2.4 GHz Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 2012 but there's no idvd it should come with ilife but i didn't found it how could i install it thanks

    Apple no longer distributes iDVD.
    1) Buy an old iLife from a place such as e-bay or Amazon.  Make sure it is a version that has iDVD.  Do not buy it from Apple since their version no longer has iDVD.
    2) Try a third party application (none really have the features of iDVD though).
    Burn (free) - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html - includes basic DVD authoring but you will definitely have to read the documentation.
    Easily Burn Movies to a DVD without Apple's iDVD. - http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/easily_burn_movies_to_a_dvd_without_apples_idvd. html - directions for using Burn to make a TV DVD.  Note, Burn also has a separate application which lets you do more fancy menus.

  • Do all iMacs come with Ilife?

    Looking at buying an imac or a macbook pro. Just wondering if all new products come with ILife? Thanks.

    Check out this page on Apple's web site.
    Best of luck.

  • SL upgrade come with iLife too?

    I just got a new mac air and 10$ upgrade is coming in. DOes anyone know if I will get the iLife upgrade in that (iPhoto etc.)? Thanks

    If you have a new Mac you already have the latest iLife.
    Snow Leopard does not come with iLife for your $10 upgrade
    There is no upgrade for iLife, iLife 09 just came out the beginning of this year.
    When you install Snow Leopard it will upgrade the OS, and your applications will still be there.

  • Is Tiger retail 10.4 install DVD suposed to come with ilife?

    Hi,
    Just bought a secondhand version of retail 10.4. Tiger to install on my Powerbook, G4 1.33ghz (only 1 GB RAM as other RAM doesn't work) - as i wanted a better imovie and garageband performance than my panther ones. I have installed it and was under the impression that it was 'all in' like on panther, but there isn't any ilife! Even tho the manual talks about it as if they were part of the package. Have i been ripped off? should there have been abother disc in the box or does it just NOT come with ilife?! I tried to open the panther install discs so that i could get the old garageband etc but it seems like i have to install oSX 10.3. to get to the apps...I'm so lost- is there anything i can do or do i have to go and buy an ilife from 2005/6 - if so what do i look for? and is it worth it?!
    Thanks

    Have i been ripped off?
    No.
    should there have been abother disc in the box or does it just NOT come with ilife?
    It doesn't come with iLife except for the free iTunes.
    I tried to open the panther install discs so that i could get the old garageband etc but it seems like i have to install oSX 10.3. to get to the apps
    Mac OS X 10.3 retail doesn't include GarageBand. If those disks came with the PowerBook, perform a custom installation of it.

  • Will a Refurbished iBook come with iLife '06?

    I am looking into a refurb iBook. Has anyone recently purchased one and if so, does it come with iLife '06?
    Thom

    Hi John,
    After reviewing the policies and doing some research,
    the refurbished iBooks are not mentioned. Apple
    considers their refurbished products as good as new
    for the most part, but you will find your iBook does
    not fall in the the qualifying family part numbers. I
    suggest that you call Apple or go to your local Apple
    Store and see what they will do. I am sorry if I
    mislead anyone, there is nothing regarding
    refurbished computers in the policy.
    Here's an update:
    I called Apple customer service last week to ask if my refurb iBook qualified for iLife up-to-date. The person I talked to spoke to his supervisor who said that refurbs didn't qualify because they were "used." I mentioned that some posters in this forum who ordered refurbs were getting iLife '06 either installed or on a separate DVD. So he put in an order for me, attaching it to my original iBook web order (to verify that it was purchased after iLife '06 was released). I just received it today, no charge.
    So score 1 for the squeaky wheel!

  • Do new macbooks come with iLife 06 or 08???

    Now, from the conference today, it sounded like they said all new macs would come with iLife 08, but I go on to purchase the macbook, and see it still says 06.
    Am I missing something, or am I wrong, and it does not include macbooks?

    I just bought my first mac, a macbook pro, yesterday, at an apple store. The mac came with Tiger pre-installed and a drop-in disc of Leopard. Bundled with the Leopard disc were two other discs: OS disc 1 and 2. I had two install options with the Leopard: upgrade or clean. I chose clean because, well, it was a new computer so I figured there was nothing to save from the older OS. After install, I did not have any ilife features or the iwork trial. After lots of reading of postings on the discussion board, I finally figured out that these did not come w/Leopard as I had expected and that by choosing "clean", I erased the previous ilife versions.
    I put in the extra OS disc 1, figured out that these were the Tiger OS discs, then chose bundled install package, selected only the ilife features(iweb, imovie, etc.) and the iwork '08 trial. I wasn't sure what I would get as far as the ilife features...if these would be ilife '08 or not. This install went fast. After install, I opened up the installed ilife applications and they were all ilife '08 versions. My mac was bought in Portland, OR, US.
    I've seen all the posts that new macs would come with ilife '08 installed, and assumed that meant it would be there as part of the Leopard install. As a newbie to mac, I didn't really get what all this meant. I hope this clarifies for new mac users how to handle the Leopard/new mac/ilife '08 issue.

  • Does my new macbook air come with ilife (SandyBridge i7)?

    Just bought a new mac and was wondering if my new macbook air come with ilife (SandyBridge i7)?
    No CD's in the box... Do I just download it from the Appstore?
    I thought it would at least come with the Air I just bought...
    Thanks in advance...

    According to Apple, your new MBA should include iLife: iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. The user guide says they should be on the system.  Systems that come with Lion no longer include OS X DVD's.

  • Will LEOPARD come with iLife '08 pre-installed

    Does anyone know if Mac OS X v10.5 come with iLife '08 on it or will you still have to buy and upgrade from iLife '06?? Also, do the current Tiger models that are out right now have iLife '08 on them???

    Does anyone know if Mac OS X v10.5 come with iLife '08 on it or will you still have to buy and upgrade from iLife '06??
    It is doubtful. iLife 08 is a separate program sold separately.
    Does anyone know if Mac OS X v10.5 come with iLife '08 on it or will you still have to buy and upgrade from iLife '06??
    If you buy it from Apple it should come with it now. If you buy from a distributer there is a chance it is not. You would qualify for the update price.

  • Does a new MBP come with iLife?

    Does a new Macbook pro come with iLife? I'm specifically looking for iPhoto and Garage Band. I just ordered it today. Do I have to add it on or does it come with it? I got iWorks preinstalled.

    Yes, the full iLife '09 suite (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and Garage Band) is preloaded, and also on Install DVD 2 that will come with the MBP.

  • Why didnt my recently bought open box macbook pro come with ilife?

    I bought an open box macbook pro, and for some wierd reason it didnt come with ilife...can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

    I would take it back to Best Buy - 'open box' or not, the machine should have come with the iLife applications. They likley just reinstalled to OS, which does not install the iLife applications. Return it and tell them that you need iLife - it's up to the reseller to prepare the machine correctly for resale.

  • My mac didn't come with ilife? What do I do?

  • My macbook air didnt come with ilife

    i got a used macbook air from amazon and it didnt come with ilife

    Hi,
    If you can't get a hold of the instal discs, you can purchase and  install the "components" of iLife through the Mac App Store if the MacBookAir is running Snow Leopard. (iMovie iPhoto and GarageBand)
    Click the Apple logo top left in your screen then click: About This Mac. If it has Snow Leopard installed it will say: Version: 10.6
    If that is the case, the App Store.app should be installed in the Applications folder.
