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.

Noobish question but does a new macbook come with iLife free?

You can see everything that is included with a new MacBook here:

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.

New MacBooks come with Internal DVD?

Do the new MacBook pros come with an internal DVD/CD drive?

Yep. The external super drive is an "option" when you build your own MB Pro. Same with the iMacs, Mac Mini and new Mac Pro. Good bye internal super drive.
As for saving projects, I guess you save them to your hard drive or an external hard drive. These machines have thunderbolt and usb3 so external storage is very fast for read/write. If you have an apple TV, you can upload your movie through iTunes or simply watch from your shared computer's harddrive. I imagine there are other ways.

New MacBook come with Leopard in October?

Hi everyone,
My friend is about to purchase a macbook...i have been telling him to wait till October when Leopard is launched because then the computer will come with the latest OS.
Is my advice on the mark or off? I am not sure what the go is when a new OS is coming out and you have just bought a mac with the old OS. Do they upgrade you for free?
Also will the cost of macbooks go up if they have a new OS on them?
Hope this all makes sense,
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
This is a user-to-user forum hosted by Apple. None of us work for Apple and we have no idea what their plans are. It's against the Terms of Use to speculate about unreleased products and Apple's policies. All anyone can say is, in the past, the new version of Mac OS X was included as an upgrade disk at first. Shortly after, two or three weeks, the new version of Mac OS X was included built-in. Also, in the past, if the new version was not included after the release date then Apple would ship you an "up to date" disk for the cost of "shipping and handling".
Personally, I wouldn't wait. If you keep waiting for "The Next Best Thing™" you'll never end up buying anything. What if there are a couple of key issues regarding Mac OS X 10.5? Maybe you'll wait for 10.5.1? I would prefer to have a computer that runs with either Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 so you have options.

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.

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.

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.

New MacBook came with too many ilife discs, what's this about? and back up?

I'm a new user, and not a computer conoseur.
So, I got my macBook with max os x and ilife , ofcourse.
Now, when I pre-ordered my mac from the Apple store, I got other applications with it, .mac, office student edition, apple care, etc.
So, when I went to pick it up, everything was in a bag ready to go. And besides all my added appliations packages, there were 3 iLife packages. ya know, the little CD size software boxes you can purchase for computers.
But, now learning that my iLife info is included in the 2 Mac OS x discs that my MacBook comes with, what are these 3 iLife packages all about? is it a mistake? All the iLife I'll ever need is already on my computer and on my 2 mac os x discs right?
and how do I start my 30 day trial iWork?
and if I want to custom install my iLife, to get rid of stuff (just learning about this from this discussion board), by MacBook guides tell me to Back up my essentials/files first. How do I do this? and is it necessary? do I have to Erase and install everything? can't I just erase some stuff, like extra languages. And if I erase some stuff, can I add it back on later? And is there any iLife applications on the discs, that don't come pre-installed with my MacBook?
and what the heck is a destiniation disc?
thanks,
pre-mature user, jgsboston

Welcome to the discussions!
All Macs come with iLife pre-installed, so if you bought for an received 3 extra boxed copies you should return those for a refund.
If you do an erase and install you will still have a copy of everything that came with your Mac on your install disks. You will be able to reinstall all that if you want to.
If you want to do this out of the box, then you do not have any data or files to backup, so don't worry. A destination disk is simply the disk that you want that data to be backed up to.

Does brand new 24 inch Imac come with ilife 08 disc?

just bought a brand new 24 inch imac which had ilife 08 preloaded - but can't seem to find an install disc as backup anywhere. do these new machines come with installation disc?
if not, what do i do in the event of a hard drive crash?
thanks

No wurries! iLife '08 is on the (Mid 2007) iMac install disks. Put Disk #1 in the DVD drive (no need to shut down OS-X), and click on "Read Before You Install.app".
If you just want to reload/recover a lost app, click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" icon, drill down to the "Installation Type" screen, and select "Customize," then expand the "Bundled Applications" thingie, and clear all the checkboxes -- except for the app(s) you want to (re)install. Then click "Update".

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.

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

When I login to my bank, I get the message: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. Have new MacBook Air with Yosemite. How to solve this problem?

When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
What is the problem and how can I solve it?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer? My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC. I just switched to mac. The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP. HP has no software drivers for me to download. Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software. However, there are no updates when I try that. I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use. Help!!!

Are you sure it has no usb port?
