How can i get idvd for my new iMac?

Just got a new imac and went through the process of creating a home video and when it got to open idvd section it couldnt find it.
I called apple and was told they are no longer including it in ilife. Great. Can I buy the ilfe 11, or do I need to find an old copy? It seems like on some of the sites I have looked up idvd is not included in ilfe11 and some say's it is. I don't feel like the hassle of having to return it if its not included.
Also, is there a way to download it somewhere for free??? I wish I would have known because I did see a good deal on the previous version but figured I would pay a little more for the brand new model. I think this is an important little detail apple salespoeple should mention. After all, apple has made a pretty good name for itself in film editing. (although I realize if I had final cut studio it would include idvd) what about us novices? Any advice would be appreciated.

That will prove helpful in getting a free copy of iDVD, because you are still within the return period.

Agreed, buyers should have to sign a document acknowledging that iDVD is not included.
After all, apple has made a pretty good name for itself in film editing.
Let's hope that doesn't change.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Make a couple of phone calls.
iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.

If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.
Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

For best quality, I use iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 on a Mac Pro tower.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • How do I get iDVD onto my new iMac from my Macbook?

    I have iDVD on my MacBook from 2009, but the iMac I just bought in July 2011 did not come with iDVD.  Is there a way to legally get iDVD onto my iMac without buying it, since I already own it on my other Mac?

    If you have the disks that came with your 2009 MacBook you can try using Pacifist Pacifist on the iMac to extract and install iDVD from that disk onto the iMac.  Then remove iDVD from the MacBook for legality sake.
    Otherwise you will need to purchase a copy of iLife 11 (boxed version) from the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of this page).  Since iDVD has been discontinued it would be a good idea to get a copy of iLife 11 while it is still available. That would simplify installing iDVD (or iWeb) at a later date if ever need be.

  • How can I get applecare  for my new iphone 4s living in a state where there is nor retail store?

    I purchased an iphone 4s for my mom who lives in Wyoming. I was told by Verizon that she could purchase AppleCare + via their 800 number in the first 30 days. She has been told she has to go to a retial store. Wyoming has no retail store. The closest store would be 7 hours away! There must be another option for her!

    She has now tried all those things and all insist she must go to a retail store. And then they try to sell her the regular Apple Care, which does not cover the two accidental replacements.  Pretty irritated with Verizon for mis-leading me and especially with Apple for not providing a way to purchase this at the time of purchase with the provider and compounding the problem by not having a mechanism in place for people who don't live near one of their limited locations. Poor customer service. Have learned my lesson.
    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

  • HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

    How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

    Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free  app using the new ID.

    Copy everything from your old comptuer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, and you do not have access to your old computer, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

    The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs.  You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.
